Keyboard keys work differently
Original title: key board is possessed
Why unique key board keys are control my computer? Pressing the button "m" reduces the windows, 'c' closed internet. It's as if the control key is blocked, but I don't think it is. Is there a setting that will succeed? and how do yoou back to normal?
Hi Crinton,
1. from when are you facing this problem?
2. did you check with the manufacturer of your computer?
3. What is the brand and model of your keyboard?
4. don't you turn on sticky keys?
You should consult the manual of the keyboard to understand the use and functionality of the function keys.
Step 1:
I suggest you for this visit below section provided assistance Windows and see if that fixes the problem.
Troubleshoot keyboard
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-keyboard-problems
Step 2:
I suggest you to check for the problem with the keyboard on the screen.
Select a Visual keyboard layout
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/select-a-layout-for-on-screen-keyboard
If the problem does not occur then, I suggest you follow step 3.
Step 3:
As you mentioned that the control (Ctrl) key is struck, I suggest you contact the manufacturer of your keyboard to be replaced.

Hi all
Hope you are able to help me with my problem
I updated my Blackberry Curve 8900 over the weekend to
v5.0.0.1036(Platform 5.2.0.104) provider is Vodafone.de
This update was offered when connecting my device to BlackBerry Desktop Application.
After this update is completed successfully, I discovered the problem the upper top right (usually used for mute) button does not send my camera in standby mode more when you press more than 3 seconds.
This feature worked perfectly before this update. Unfortunately, I didn't know what version I was before, but as I do updates on more than less regular basis, I guess it was available previously.
With this problem, I discovered something that works as different as before.
When I press on the locking of the keyboard (upper left top button) button the lock is now enabled directly and
the screen goes black. Before this update took place the owner details appeared when pressing this button and the display dims after the set time turns off.
The details of the owner are correctly added and appear when you go to properties-owner.
I made a secure deletion (security options - remove security) unit and started from scratch twice already, but the problem remains the same.
Is it possible to get at least the day before running again.
I m using a case-mate case with built in battery I want to reboot my BB when no plug is available. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a magnet which send the device to sleep automatically when plugged in the case, so this manual standby option is important for me to
extend the life of the battery.
Forward to your response.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards

Of course, you can ask that... the most effective thing would be to go through your service provider for their support and to make this request. RIM/BlackBerry will listen to the questions and some of them (I think) much more than a user, that the carrier has more weight and shoot.
I'll add that... This change in characteristics were made from last March, in ALL the operating systems for all devices... and has been included in all since. And then that there was much complaining about this function since then and during that period it have upgraded the OS in all areas, I don't think he'll change - in the next version for sure, or after. There's a reason any, they did this step in this direction.
But the call of your carrier is the best way to make your voice heard, I think.

A few Macbook keyboard keys do not work
Hello
I have the Macbook with OSX El Captian 2012 model running. The keys f, g, h, j, k, l will not work. Initially, when I hit these keys several times, they used to work, but now they do not completely work. AHT test ran and it is said that there is no hardware problem. I hit the option 5 times, but it would not have helped either. I noticed when allegedly struck ' key and hold, f - l keys work. Please help me solve this problem. Replacement of keyboard looks expensive.
Kind regards
Cédric
Hey John,
Thank you for being a part of the communities of Apple Support.
It appears from your message that a line of F to L keys do not work correctly on your MacBook Pro. What I would like to, it's please use the keyboard on your Mac Viewer to verify that the keys are not currently recognized on your Mac:
OS X El Capitan: use the keyboard Viewer
If the problem persists, please reset your memory NVRAM-How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac- and report with your findings.
See you soon.

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

Tecra A11 PTSEOU: Some keyboard keys not working not
Hello
In my Toshiba Tecra A11 PTSEOU - 08904L model, some of the keys on keyboard did not, initially, key 6 did not work. But now about 12 keys did not work.
When I press one of these keys, I hear a single beep and nothing happens.
Even I can't see the bios menu when you start the computer as "press f2 for boot menu".Is there something to do with the bios for this problem?
I tried updating the bios, but the installation failed saying incompatible bios. Help, pleaseThank you
Thawfeek.> Is there something to do with the bios for this problem?
BIOS? Why ORGANIC?
I assume that the problem of its equipment and you will have to replace the internal keyboard.Just to confirm the problem with keyboard: you can connect external USB keyboard.
In case the external keyboard would work correctly, the problem is related to the internal keyboard. -
Some keyboard keys do not work on my Qosmio F60
Hello
I've had my laptop for 2 years now and never had any problems before but recently some of the keys on my laptop keyboard do not work as the fn key, i, e, r, t, y, u, i, o, = etc. Currently I use an external keyboard to overcome this problem. I did a complete reinstall but problem still persits.
Can you please perhaps where the problem is. It's very confusing that some keys work well, but some are not.Kind regards
Abhi89> Can you please suggest where the problem is maybe.
In my opinion the problem is faulty keyboard. As you can see full OS reinstallation didn't change anything. It must be junk hardware.Sorry, but I think that the keyboard needs to be replaced.

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:

Qosmio G30-223: keyboard key '2' does not work in console/konsole/xterm in Debian
Hello
I installed debian on a qosmio g30-223, it works correctly except the key of a keyboard in console/konsole/xterm.
Under KDE, all the keys work but when I'm under a console (without xorg), konsole or an xterm, the '2' key (shift + a) does not work.It is a french keyboard layout and a card keyboard fr-latin9. Before connecting, the key also works.
Any ideas?
Hi face,.
I have gentoo with 2.6.17 kernel and windowmaker as office. I know this problem. Maybe it s an idea to check the file xorg.conf to map keyboard under X then to change the keymap under console as X replaces the console overview.
If the worst comes to the worst, try "dpkg - reconfigure console - data ' to choose a new layout for your page layout.
I think that there are more keymaps under the hull for french available key-layouts, just to play with it. :) -
Some keyboard keys do not work occasionally, some require hard urgent
Sometimes my keys work well, as now. Other times, without having to reboot, some keys like R, Y, 5, 0, do not work when I press them. Sometimes if I press the R key and Y or press them hard, with more force, the R and the Y will appear. Other times, repeatedly tap the R and the is still not get as they appear.
This problem has occurred, it seems, shortly after I disassembled my laptop. What could cause this problem? I think that maybe it's one of the wiring connectors that connect the keyboard to the main unit and not a problem with the individual keys. Should I restart my computer, disassemble the keyboard and attach, internal and 3 cables, it would affect?
What should I try to fix this? Its very annoying having to use the on-screen keyboard to type the keys Y and R when they cease to work temporarily on the keyboard.
It is not easy to give you the correct answer to your question.
Initially we don t know what model of laptop you have and how old it was.
In my opinion the keyboard connector has nothing to do if some keys must be desperate.To be honest, I think that you need a new keyboard.
Only by using the new keyboard and test features, you will find answer to your question. -
Satellite P300 - one key works is not on the keyboard
Hi all
Someone has a proposed solution to fix a key works is not on my laptop? A letter on my keyboard 'letter b' has stopped working.
Is the laptop Satellite P300 - "PSPCA-01U013.Thanks :)
Hello
Maybe there is no contact this button.
As far as I know, you can not solve simple buttons. You can remove the key caps but I put that this problem is related to the plug defective or similar then it seems that you need to replace the keyboard.
Keyboard can be ordered from Toshiba ASP in your country. If you have no experience in the replacement of parts, then I recommend asking a support technician.Good luck

Some keyboard keys have stopped working all of a sudden
Hello world
Some of my keys on my laptop keyboard stopped working all of a sudden. I don't know if I accidentally pressed something or if it is something to do with the FN keys, but I'd love to help if someone might be able to!
Keys does not:Question mark and the slash key
the last letter of the alphabet key
the arrow keys
and the 0 on the right side of the pad numbersDoesn't that sound like something to do with some settings or my keyboard does not work
Thank you in advance for help! :)
I can't say for sure, but I think that it has nothing to do with the settings. It is unclear to me that there is an option where you can disable certain keys on the keyboard.
To be honest, I think it's a malfunction of the keyboard.> arrows

Satellite A105-S4254: several keyboard keys stop working after startup
Hey
I have a laptop A105-S4254, which is less than a year.
When I boot it upward a few minutes most of the keys stopped working.
The F keys will however continue to work.
I can laugh with the brightness and activate / disable the num lock and scroll but I can't type.A number of key just freeze.
When I reboot the keys work for a few minutes and then stop working again.Please help me with suggestions and solutions.
ThanxHello
For me, it looks like a hardware problem. Maybe it s the keyboard or keyboard controller itself.
But first, you must be sure that this failure was not due to a software problem.
Therefore, it would be desirable to update the system and install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD.If the keyboard problem appears again, I'd recommend contacting the ASP in your country to control the laptop.
It seems that the guarantee could be valid for all replacements must be done for free.
See you soon
