Keyboard backlight stopped working under the sierra of the bone

Hello

I just upgraded my macbook air to El Capitan in Sierra.

Most applications seem to work. However, I cannot switch on my keyboard backlight more - f5 and f6 keys simply do not work.

I couldn't find incorrect or missing settings in the menu setup.

Does anyone have a tip how to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards

Arne

  • My keyboard backlight stopped working

    Recently, I sent my laptop Lenovo repair depot, to get a very small fixed thing. One of my Alt keys broke physically, so I wanted to get this fixed key. When I came back, I noticed that my keyboard backlight no longer works. I know that the backlight is activated by pressing FN + SPACE, but the shortcut does not work, at least not most. I don't know why this is happening. Is there a way to fix this that refer to Lenovo for repair.

    Thank you.

    ERMM... They replaced your KBO with a non-backlit version instead? The KBO LED should get their power from the same source as the KBO so I think they were replaced by a version not backlit.

    See HMM-> http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/ideapad_y480_y580_hmm_1st_edition_mar_2012_english.p...

    There is thus no backlit versions. Check with the repair depot.

  • The audio controls on the top of the keyboard has stopped working.

    At the top of the keyboard controls that control the volume mute and sound stopped working.  The machine is a Pavilion dv7 Windows 7.  Sound keys are light up and when the machine starts and stops the symbol for the 'secret' change to red.  After booting the machine it turns on but does not work.  I was wondering if these controls are selectable by software and I stop them inadvertently.

  • The story ignores a newspaper (keyboard shortcuts stop working)

    So I use Photoshop, I find that I can't press Cmd + Z (or Cmd + alt + Z) to cancel an error. I am also unable to use shortcut keys, so pressing B for brush, U online, E for the Eraser tool, etc. no shortcuts work.

    That is until I shoot again. Once I clicked or developed anywhere within Photoshop (whether on or off the power of the Web), the keyboard shortcuts begin to work again. If overtime, whenever I want to cancel an error or use another tool with keyboard shortcuts, I have to click elsewhere to keyboard shortcuts work again...

    It gets frustrating after a while.

    I noticed in the historic area (the one where all the tools of measures are going in) where for example when I draw a line, the historic area does not pick up this newspaper. Yet once any attempt to use the keyboard shortcuts does not work. And once again, it is until I click elsewhere that the keyboard works. In addition, on the second click, the history box has now two actions in the list.

    Thanks to those who have read my problem. I would like assistance as soon as possible. I'm ready to give any additional information that would help solve this problem

    I found my problem, other problems that occurred when I have used photoshop are:

    Sounds like keyboard problem.
    The operating system uses the pilot to clean keyboard and generally it s not necessary to reinstall the special keyboard driver.
    But one thing is really strange; the yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager

    Eventually it s only a problem of software in such a case, a system restore can be useful...

    Have you checked if the keyboard works in the BIOS?
    Do this!

    If the keyboard does not work in the BIOS, then you will need to replace the internal keyboard with the new.

  • Numbers of wired keyboard has stopped working

    I have a keyboard attached to a wired Macbook Pro Apple. The keyboard worked fine for a year apart from the occasional glitch when it stops working, I add an extension of cable and it starts working again.  However, all of a sudden the numbers on the keyboard at the top of the keyboard have stopped working (but - and = work). the keyboard on the right continue stop work very well.  I think the function keys work always.  Someone at - it ideas?  It's driving me crazy! Tried to restart and don't Scream - no luck so far.

    Hello Lloyd C from the United Kingdom.

    If I understand you right, the numbers on the wired Apple keyboard that you have connected to your MacBook Pro stopped working. We know that it's never ideal to have a device that does not work as expected, we are happy to help you get the keyboard to work again.

    The first thing I would recommend, first and foremost, is to update your Mac if there are updates available for the version of Mac OS X, you're running. Follow the steps in the article to support below if you are not familiar with how to update. For the purposes of troubleshooting, whenever you test your keyboard after you follow the steps that we provide, make sure that it is while the keyboard is connected directly to the USB port built-in on your MacBook and not connected to a USB hub. In addition, disconnect all other devices you have plugged into your Mac, besides than the charging cable under test.

    Update the software on your Mac

    If the problem persists after the update, the next step would be to reset the system management controller (SMC). The MSC is a part inside your MacBook, who helps run various physical parts of your computer, and resetting can sometimes help the problems associated with the keyboard and USB functions. The support article below contains the steps on how to reset the SMC.

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    Test the keyboard after that the MSC has been reset. If the problem persists, follow the steps in the "Steps to a USB keyboard" section in the following article:

    If your USB keyboard or wireless does not work

    Remember that it's always a possibility that the issue could be with the keyboard itself. If you continue to have problems with certain keys, try to connect the keyboard to a different Mac, if you manage to and see if you experience the same problems.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Take care!

  • All USB keyboard has stopped working

    Hello

    All USB keyboards have stopped working on my installation of windows 7. They work fine in the BIOS or on my Ubuntu installation. When I plug a keyboard, it still gives an error code 29 (drivers not found). I tried using two keyboards: a Logitech Gaming Keyboard G105 and a fairly generic wireless keyboard (a dongle to connect to the computer).

    I tried to uninstall it from the Device Manager and plug or restarted again, but the result is the same. Windows Update cannot find driver updates, and a system repair disc doesn't detect any problems. I temporarily created a fresh install of windows 7, which recognizes the keyboards very well. There is no driver available manufacturer (attempt to all keyboards are supposed to use the base drivers), and the keyboard Logitech gaming software does not see that it is there. 'Control Panel-> devices and printers' keyboards of lists of names, but the shows not even the stuff of work that is just under the Device Manager and the problem-solving the tent and is unable to find the drivers again. Try to select the driver HID keyboard in the Device Manager just in fact give the code 10 error (device does not start) instead.
    Nothing I've tried has gotten me anywhere. I would rather not re-install Windows 7, like all the time and effort to get my system how do I like it took me forever, but I can't see how I solve this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    There is a good chance a "repair" install will fix the problem as a "repair" install should re-create any missing or corrupt driver installation file.

    I don't see anything definitive where observer records but can provide you with the following file, which can provide more specific information:

    Hello Graham

    Sorry, but your problem is not easy to understand. After reading these two sentences, it is not easy to tell if there is a general problem with the keyboard or what.
    When you enter the BIOS settings can use keyboard to scroll through the options and tabs of the BIOS?

    Since when did you notice this problem?

  • Numlock stops working on the Qosmio F750

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio F750-11 t. Four days ago, I started my laptop and discovered my num lock stops working. The light still comes on, but the buttons do not respond. I can't turn the NumLock or off and I can ' t produce numbers more with him (or use the pgup pgdn buttons when it should be off).

    I have read a few things on the forum (.com) and updated the BIOS to the latest version, restarted it, but nothing works.

    I bought the laptop 3 months ago only. I would be grateful if someone could help me with this.

    Thank you!

  • Keyboard does not work on the Satellite L300 - 20 d

    My laptop is 3 years old and I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and everything worked fine. The keyboard has stopped working, but I can log in and use an external keyboard.

    I tried to update the driver and return to a previous restore point, but he did not make a difference.

    Any ideas please?

    > The keyboard has stopped working, but I can log in and use an external keyboard.

    In my opinion, you need to replace the internal keyboard.
    Contact Toshiba ASP in your country for the new keyboard.
