Keyboard key errors

I share a laptop with my partner - when I use the @ key and ' key, they are fine - but when my partner uses it gets "instead of @ and vice versa.

I tried one in now shift + 2 keys together but that worked not - I use Vista system - ideas - thank you dabhandlaw

Looks like your computer is configured for several keyboard layouts and a different language keyboard layout is be loaded or switched to via the keyboard shortcut.

While it is connected under the user account of your partner, open the Control Panel and go to the applet region and language . On the keyboards and languages tab, click Change keyboards. If you only want the United States keyboard layout, select first and then delete all the others listed in the general tab

If you need several keyboard layouts, make sure that U.S. is on the top of the list and go to the tab Advanced settings key change or remove keyboard shortcuts to switch between keyboard layouts by selecting an option by clicking Change Key Sequence.

If you have decided to keep several keyboard layouts, make sure that the Language bar is easily accessible from the Language bar anchored in the taskbar tab is a good setting here. If it is set, the keyboard icon will be present to the left of the Area of Notification (for example system tray) when the Language bar is docked in the taskbar. This allows you to quickly switch between keyboard layouts.

    3270 keyboard card error

    Hi André,.

    -What is the brand and model of the keyboard?

    -Do you have installed the software on the site for manufacturer of keyboard? If not, then go to the manufacturer's website and install the software.

    -Is this the keyboard shown in Device Manager? Or does have a yellow mark?

    I suggest you to connect the keyboard to a different USB port and check if it works.

    The three long beeps before the computer starts is an indication that the keyboard is properly connected to the computer.

    a. check that the keyboard is properly connected to the computer by turning off your computer and then disconnect and reconnect the keyboard to the computer.

    (b) ensure that there is no key stuck on the keyboard. If all the keys seem to be ok and you have a standard desktop with keyboard, turn the keyboard and gently hit the back of the keyboard to loosen any dirt or hair that can be blocked in the keyboard.

    c. try another keyboard on the computer to verify that the keyboard was not bad.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • HP 14 Chromebook product # F0H08UA keyboard keys digital 1 to 4 and 7 to 0 do not work

    HP 14 Chromebook product # F0H08UA keyboard not working keys numbered 1 to 4 and 7 to 0. Awkward layout that I use some of these numbers for my password. Problem started on 15-07-14. Has worked as intended in the AM but now do not register this PM. The method of entry on the screen works but not the keyboard! All other keyboard keys seem to work as expected. No error message and no recent changes to this 14 Chromebook. This could be the cause of this problem?

    Chromebook is sent to HP for repair. The unit was still under warranty. HP has replaced what they call the "top Assembly' 743681-001 part number. I guess that is the plastic piece, the keyboard is surrounded and the keyboard itself. My 'Top House' OE still had stickers attached when I bought the Chromebook. The replaced "top Assembly had no stickers.

    The repair process was painless for me other than being without my Chromebook for about a week. HP sent a box with pre-paid shipping by Fedex. Since the repair my Chromebook worked well.

  • After the upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.5 shift, Alt and command of my keyboard keys started to act arbitrarily, they are suspended and are not working properly.

    After the upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.5 shift, Alt and command of my keyboard keys started to act arbitrarily, they are suspended and do not work properly (I already tried several keyboards and is not Firefox or Chrome). This behavior is exacerbated in Illustrator CC, but also affect all programs and even my office. It drives me crazy, does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

    Mi IMac is a 27-inch, late 2013, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, and use a Wacom Intuos Pro.

    Could possibly be interfering with the entry Wacom drivers.

    Start safe mode and see if there are still have the problem there. Safe mode is slow and some things do not work, but it prevents some third-party boot loading software. If your keyboard works properly in Mode without fail, this would imply that some third-party software is causing the problem. If so, check the updates.

    It also takes more time to start because the BONE is clean some system caches that can also help.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

  • Some keyboard keys do not work on my Satellite L300D

    Hello

    I have the Satellite L300D-242, keyboard key 6-7-R-H-B left and right arrow not working not not on Win 7 32 Bit OS. his job very well if I try the keyboard external usb.
    My question is if I buy the new keyboard problem will be fix or it's something to do with the motherboard?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If everything is ok with the external keyboard, it seems that a few keys on the internal keyboard are faulty. I agree with Timox and swap the keyboard internal which is very cheap and can be done in 10 minutes.

    Do you know where you can order spare parts?
    You can do this if you contact an authorized service provider. You can find a list of the guys here:

  • Satellite U300-152: keyboard keys are mixed up

    I have a newly purchased U300-152 with OS vista home premium 32-bit already installed by the distributor in Saudi Arabia.
    I observe some of the keys on the keyboard are mixed to the top for example shift + 2 should give us @ and shift +' (apostrophe) should give us "(quote), but the reverse is Maj sense + 2 gives me" (quote) and shift +' (apostrophe) gives me @

    Any solution for that to be corrected.
    What should I do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Buddy

    Don t worry, it s not a serious problem ;)
    It seems that you keyboard language settings don't match the keyboard layout.

    You can solve this problem very easily by changing the language settings in the control panel-> Regional Options control & language-> language-> details tab

    I guess that you keyboard language settings are set to English * (UK) * '. '.
    But maybe you should choose an English * (US) * to assign the right signals to the single keyboard keys.

    Check it out ;)

  • Keyboard key issues

    I have a laptop (DV6206us) and recently started having some keyboard key issues. For example G, H, BACKSPACE, scroll keys and some other don't type/work in a hurry. The keyboard itself has had a cover transparent latex that I installed the keys because I bought it to protect from spills, dust, etc... After taking a closer look, I noticed that if I press a certain area/s around the keyboard keys are working. But as soon as I release the pressure of the particular region the keys stop working.

    This is an easy fix? Something I can do myself? If this is not the case, what would be the approximate cost for the repair or replacement of the keyboard?

    I suspect that my son (15mos) is at fault. I have a few times caught using my laptop as a step back bag, while the laptop was in the bag. The backpack offers a padding on all sides. But I think that the pressure of him standing / use it as a step caused the keyboard key issues.

    The problem has been resolved with just open up the laptop and fixing the connector loose keyboard cable I found.

  • Why is-strike (shift-") on my keyboard (@) key? When the other my keyboard is (update 2). __

    Why is-strike (shift-") on my keyboard (@) key? When the other my keyboard is (update 2).

    Hi acesdie,

    Probably to do with the language of the keyboard. Shift + 2 is the American keyboard. Go to control panel and click the language and region. In the window of the region and language, click the keyboard and languages and then click on the button "change keyboards. What language is in the box 'default language'? If it's in the United Kingdom and you are not in the United Kingdom, then click the Add button and select English (United States). Click the plus (+) next to the English (United States) option and then click on the plus sign (+) next to the option "keyboard". Here you will see a list of the types of keyboards, i.e. the United States Dvorak, Dvorak to the United States for the left hand, etc. If you have a keyboard to type Dvorak, then select one of them; If this isn't the case, then I suggest to choose the United States (international) or simply WE. Then click on the arrow to the right of the box in the section "default input language" and select English (United States), and then click apply then OK.
