Keyboard HP VoodooDNA - key does not

Hi all

Just signed up here, for the purpose of this announcement.

I got a keyboard VoodooDNA for Christmas. I took it out of the box for less than 48 hours. While for the most part a nice keyboard, he has suddenly developed the minor problem of seemingly random keys, decide to stop working.

It began about six hours, with a letter, don't remember who. A reboot fixed it, and I continued. Only problem I could see was the lighted button (will light the light under the keys) did nothing. Thought I wasn't hit properly.

About three hours ago, I noticed that F5 would not trigger a refresh, and cursor key downwards would not scroll down (until still scrolls to the top and Num2 worked to scroll down). I typed the alphabet, they all worked. I ducked away from my PC for ten minutes, and when I got home, they worked. Alt-tabbing through programs, I noticed that letting go of tab didn't remove the window - I had to click on the icon to make it disappear.

An hour ago, I noticed that Ctrl + T doesn't open a new tab in a verified, of course, T did not work and nor n. was drunk to try to fix this T and fixed themselves and H N, M and an order. Edge switching random letters for about 20 minutes, until it seemed to get stuck on tab and was just walked all things. He left, it fixed itself. These changes occur mid-sentence, sometimes. I typed "keys on the HP VoodooDNA stuck" in Google and the D died between [b] D [/ b] NA and CLA [b] d [/ b].

I started trying to Google for similar problems (found nothing, incidentally), may be interrupted by, it seems, all the keys typing to stop. Hereby, I mean letters, numbers, symbols, space bar, tab, delete and BACKSPACE, all are functional, but Ctrl, Alt, Windows, keys, etc are all fine. I had to reconnect my old keyboard to type this, and it works perfectly.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate. I wonder if there is not some problem driver in play here, although it seems not be a page for the driver for the keyboard on hp website. My only thought is that the bit 'disable macros, keys' everything has gone bad on me, or material errors – I work as a network/tech computer administrator, so I'm used to failure and bad spirits in my technology, but two days bothers me a bit.

Any help, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

  • The internal keyboard BACKSPACE key does not work

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite and the BACKSPACE key does not work.

    He will start work the rare opportunity, but then it just stops working again.
    This happens on everything, including word and internet ect.

    It has been like that for a few weeks now and I turned the laptop and turn off many times.
    Is there a way to fix it myself or I send for repair?

    Please, * don't * tell me:
    Get an external keyboard
    Try it turn on and off
    Just highlight the words and use the delete key - it's annoying to have to do this all the time
    Type carefully and do not make so many mistakes

    Thank you!

    > Please, don't tell me not to:
    > Get an external keyboard

    And why shouldn't t someone recommends you to check the functionality using the external keyboard?

    It s recommended to connect an external keyboard to verify how the BACKSPACE key would work using 2nd external keyboard. In case the back might work properly using USB keyboard, the question is very clear; in such cases its main shortcomings. The key cannot be replaced or changed or fixed. In this case, need to replace the entire keyboard!

    In case the BACKSPACE key does not even using the external keyboard, then this would mean that the internal keyboard controller is faulty and in this case only the replacement motherboard would be useful.

    But to be honest, I think that its simple keyboard failure and a replacement would solve this.

  • ; key does not work in foreign language keyboard layouts

    Hello

    I have been using international keyboards such as the provisions of German, Spanish and Portuguese keyboard for many years.  I have implemented mappings to switch between languages and you can quickly type in the language that I need.

    However, yesterday and today, all of a sudden; key stopped working on my international keyboards.  In English, I can type; as many times as I want.  But when I switch to German, the key o (English; key) does not work.  Spanish N does not work.  This is - when I hold it down, I can make it work:

    NNNNNNN and it spits out a long line of characters, and I can remove backwards to get only one of them.

    How boring!  I can't find any other articles on this topic.

    Thank you!

    Deersfeet

    Thanks Frederik,

    I took a look at this thread and realized that my user profile is damaged.  I created a new Windows user and tried to use the German keyboard here and it worked fine.

    Too bad, I really don't want to mess with my files.  Maybe, I'll just buy an external hard drive, so such things don't affect me as well.

    Thank you!

  • How can I set at the point when the [key does not work because I have a German keyboard?

    Hi, I'm new to CS6 and worked through the book of Adobe After Effects. Some of the shortcuts do not work for me, probably because I use a German keyboard. In Chapter 11, I have problems because I need to select a layer, go to a specific time and then set to the point, but the [key does not work. Does anyone know a German equivalent or another way to set the point to? Otherwise, if I look at the colored bar in the timeline representing the layer that I want to put a point, can I get the same effect by dragging the edge of the colored bar until I reached the time limit? Or that fails to preserve the relationship of all images existing keys, etc. that I have implemented for a layer in a way that the [key would be? Grateful for any advice.

    Shift + o/a, o/a and so on. Also kann man mit Sttrg + shift + D die ebony einfach und den Teil parts, den man nicht parish, löschen. Ansonsten einfach evil die die Shortcuts.txt Datei deepening und oder das KeyEd Up Script dafur use squad.

  • Pavilion g6 series: keyboard keys does not!

    I have trouble typing on my keyboard.

    I've trained in the use of the screen keyboard that some keys do not work.

    In particular the letters a, I, s do not work.

    Help, please

    We need the complete model number. But in the meantime, try to go into the Device Manager and find the keyboard. Make a right click on it and uninstall, restart now. This recharge the keyboard driver and kind of him gives a little kick to see if it's a software issue. There is a very low probability of success, but nothing to lose and no cost involved. It is very likely replacement keyboard enough why we need to know the complete model number. Thank you.

  • Satellite M70 - 181 - slider and escape key does not

    FN with F10 keys shows no reaction.
    Check all the drivers.
    But cursor and escape keys does not.
    Need help please

    Joe

    As far as I know, FN + F10 or FN + F11 active integrated keyboard and cursor control keys.

    Satellite M70 is a fairly old machine and I do not remember which driver may be responsible for this control. Try to reinstall the Toshiba Accessibility or FN-esse utility. Maybe this will help.

    I had M70 long ago, but I've never used this option.

  • J K L; And enter the key does not

    I have a Pavilion dv7-6b32us laptop.  Intel CORE i7.  Windows 7.  Nothing added, but the printer drivers and nothing lately.  Yesterday morning keyboard worked fine.  Last night the J K L; were not working.  Clean under the keys.  Then enter key does not.  Have reloaded drivers.  The Enter key on the numeric keypad works ok.  I plugged in a USB keyboard and everything works normally with him.  Any ideas?

    Hey ModernMode,

    That's the spirit! Silver linings FTW!

    You are right. You can replace the keyboard following the same guide who will also give you the part number because they keyboard so you can order it online.

    Alternatively, you can contact HP telephone Support to control the keyboard, or set up the service for them to fix it for you. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

  • Satellite C660 - the SHIFT key does not work

    Hello

    I have a problem with a Satellite C660.
    The keyboard, I cannot use the SHIFT key. After you have installed windows everything worked properly, the problem recurs after a few days. Practically the SHIFT key does not work.
    On the one hand I'm the A and the other side works like ESC.

    Help me I'm crazy.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    To me that sounds more like a keyboard failure, I can't imagine that it could be linked to the question of the windows operating system do you have tested an external USB keyboard.

    Please test this. In this case, you can check if it s really a software problem.
    If the USB keyboard works correctly, it means that your internal keyboard is malfunctioning.

  • Satellite C50 - B - 11 d - keyboard and NHY keys do not work

    Hi N H key and there do not work on the keyboard, sometimes also the arrow keys does not work.
    any advise? or search and return? It s not even ages of two months and has this problem since day 1.
    Not only still used little. Very disappointing quality...

    SATELLITE C50 - B - 11 D

    >... and has this problem since the day 1
    Why wait so long? Where this problem occurs from the beginning, it is always possible to return the laptop to your local dealer and ask for replacement.

    Anyway, do last and final test. Reinstall the original recovery image and check if the problem persists. If so I think you should contact the closest service Toshiba and ask for help. Your laptop is new and its warranty valid, they will help you.

    Maybe new update BIOS, if available, may help, but first try to clarify this issue with the technicians.

  • My shift key does not work on my MacBook Pro

    My shift key does not work on my MacBook Pro. Can I use capital letters but only if I click on change and it's annoying. When I click on the passage icon shift comes at the top right of my screen to show its on but when I click on the lock button nothing happens as it used to glow green when I clicked it. Before someone says go to the system preferences and go to the modifier keys and restore them or make sure caps lock shift is on lock shift, I've tried that already, I looked it upward and found nothing similar. Help ASAP would be appreciated because it is really annoying

    Hello Gracepullan1,

    I understand that shift key of your MacBook Pro does not respond as before. Fortunately the steps below can help to restore the functionality of the SHIFT key on your Mac.

    1. In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    2. On the view menu, choose the speech.
    3. Click on the text to Speech tab.
    4. If "Text Speak selected when you press the button" is enabled, the key or combination of keys set to read the text cannot be used for other purposes, or used for typing text - click on set the key and replace it with a less commonly used key combination (try using the modifier such as SHIFT keys, command) Option and control). Or disable the option "Read the selected text when the key is pressed".
    5. Click the accessibility pane or universal access in system preferences, and then click the keyboard tab.
    6. Make sure the slow keys is off. With slow keys on, you must press a key for a longer period of time so he can be recognized.
    7. In the accessibility pane or universal access, click the mouse and make sure mouse keys is turned off. With the active mouse buttons, you cannot use the numeric keypad to enter numbers - instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to activate the MouseKeys to five presses down option, you can disable this option to avoid accidentally activate it.) If the mouse keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard without the numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Impossible to type while mouse keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
    8. If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard do not work as expected, see Mac OS x: how to change the behavior of the function keys.
    9. If the problem persists, use the keyboard Viewer to help isolate the problem:
      1. Click the component language & text (Mac OS X v10.6) or international (Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier) in system preferences.
      2. Click on the tab Input Sources (or tab Menu entry under Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier version).
      3. Click on the keyboard and the characters 'On' box Viewer checkbox to select (click on the viewer of keyboard "On" checkbox under Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
      4. In the entry menu (flag), choose Show Keyboard Viewer.

  • If the keyboard is connected and detected by OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application) and try to type something using the keys that failed before to see if they highlight in the keyboard Viewer.
  • Start up from the Mac OS X installation disc, choose Terminal from the utilities menu and test buttons that did not previously.  If the keys work while started from the install disc, the keyboard works correctly.  How to solve a problem of software allows to isolate the software problem that may be causing the keys to not answer.

  • Satelite P50-A-14F - Caps Lock key does not work

    Hi all

    My CAPS LOCK key does not work on my laptop series satellite P50-A-14F. Just realized while writing an email that does not work, so is more or less sudden. Nothing has been spilled on it. Here's what I've checked so far:

    -green light indicating that CAPS is LOCKED turn everything on by pressing the key on the keyboard of the screen
    -Keyboard backlight does not start when I press the button, but it works for the key itself when you press a button any.
    -try a clean boot but no results.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hello

    > Just realized while writing an email that does not work, so is more or less sudden.

    Have you tested the button LOCKING of upper CASE using different software: Web browser, by word or any other editor?
    How about using the external keyboard?

    From my point of view, there are two possible malfunctions: either there is a problem with the software that you use or the internal keyboard works badly simply and in this case, the replacement of keyboard will solve the problem.

    You could test the external USB keyboard. In case the button LOCKING of UPPER USB external keyboard functions, then the internal keyboard needs to be replaced for sure.

  • INSERT on X 240 key does not... for example when trying to use it with SHIFT-INSERT... why?

    The INSERT on my X 240 key does not work at all... either alone or jointly with another key like SHIFT - INSERT... Why?

    Press Fn + ESC to activate FnLock on and outside (for example make green LED come on and outside).

    As I explained previously, "Insert" is really "Fn - End" on X 240 keyboard.

    I checked it here, Shift-Insert works fine on X 240:

    • If FnLock is DISABLED, press Fn-shift-end

    • If FnLock is enabled, press SHIFT - end

    I tested in WordPad.
