Keyboard no longer works correctly after connecting to the projector

Don't know how to describe it - this has never happened before. I took my new edge 555 at work today, hooked up to a projector via the VGA port, and it does not give the image on the projector. But as soon as I started to type (I was in MS Word 2016), I could not put any text on the Word doc. I think that my laptop thought I tried to use the keyboard shortcuts, because a variety of things in the MS Office Ribbon began to appear. Press the keys, he was doing something, but it wasn't inserting text into a document.

I don't know if I've accidentally hit a few keyboard combo or not, but I had no idea what to do. Fortunately, I was able to connect to a nearby computer and use it. But of course, this is not what I bought this laptop for.

Sorry for my vague description - as I said, this has never happened before. But can someone tell me how to make sure that this doesn't happen?

He solved.

Don't know which one of these two has done, but one of them did.

Called Lenovo tech support. The guy said he does support for years, and that almost always, the problem is solved when you turn the laptop, I did. He said it was probably something stuck under a key, which has made my laptop thinking I was still on the sidelines, even when my finger, I had taken leave.

The other thing is that the last time it happened, I noticed I hit the Fn key at the bottom left (inadvertently), trying to press the Ctrl key. So since then, I have carefully avoided hitting this key, and I have not seen the question once again.

  • Bookmarking is no longer works correctly after updating to the latest version of Firefox. How can this be repaired?

    In the past, when I tried to bookmark a Web page, I had the opportunity to choose where I wanted to the stored bookmark. If I chose "Choose", I would be presented with a list of all my files. No more! Now, if I select 'Choose', I am presented with only three options: "Bookmarks Toolbar", "Bookmarks Menu" and "Unsorted Bookmarks."

  • JETech 2010 keyboard no longer works correctly!

    Keyboard no longer works. At least remove them and T keys do nothing. I have blue tooth, forgotten unit redefined and networks... Any other ideas please? Thanks in advance X

    Try the keyboard on another Mac or PC. If it still fails, you know the keyboard is broken. You can also try the keyboard when it is started in recovery as a basic test mode. That will tell you if the keyboard works well when a single copy of the operating system is running without all your installed applications.

    OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

    Select the option to browse the web to try the keyboard in Safari in recovery mode.

    If the device is 2010, you should seek to buy a new device, otherwise if it is new & still in warranty, return it to the store or the manufacturer.

  • Sculpt Microsoft comfort keyboard no longer works correctly

    Several times a day my keyboard no longer meets all the keystrokes or sometimes double on strikes. I can type a sentence and find only the occasional shows on the screen or more characters I typed (e.g. "character" indicates "cacter" or "ccchaaraccterr"). At first, I thought it was the batteries in the keyboard, but have lost a few sets of batteries, I found that out the receiver to the USB port and plug it into another port works for maybe an hour or two, and then it happens again.  Putting the receiver into the original USB port solved the problem again. Removal of the receiver and put it back in the same port do not solve the problem.  Any ideas gratefully received.

  • Pavilion dv6700: white screen permanently after connecting to the projector (stuck in "projector only" mode)

    Hello community,

    Here is what happened:

    I have connected my laptop to a TV via HDMI and set the display option to show the "projector only" in the Panel.

    The fn functions do not work and have never been, probably because I, at some point, off the never installed or quick launch buttons driver after the transition from Vista to Win7.

    With the TV still plugged, I closed the laptop.

    Now, when my device is restarted, the screen remains black.

    Connect to the same or other TV sets via HDMI won't show 'no signal' on the TV.

    Connection to an external display or projector via VGA will show either no signal.

    So I presume this must be the source parameter, which would need to be changed back, but I have no idea how to do that blindly. Anyone got any ideas how I could solve this problem?

    I thank very you much in advance!

    Fixed drawing of one of the two RAM Modules. Just like that.

    Hope this can help others to solve the problem.

    What has not helped:

    • Permutation of these two RAM modules and then start.
    • Reset the BIOS by pressing the keys Windows + B while pressing the power button.
    • From the BIOS menu by (several times) by pressing f8 or f10
    • Pressing on the power while pressing fn + f4 button
    • Let start normally and then by pressing Windows key + P
    • Choose different start-up options blindly with the arrow keys and enter

  • sound card does not work correctly after Windows update

    My sound card has been disabled when I install an automatic update for windows. There was an extra audio driver in Device Manager 'bluetooth AV audio' and audio peripheral anoither like this. After installation there is no sound coming out if my sound card was on the list of Device Manager. I followed several steps through windows help and support to solve the problem since seeing him on my laptop for mute also did not work. After you resolve the problem with the use of MICROSOFT FIX IT, it was fixed but this isn't the same quality that I get. Its volume is less eventhough volume: 100. The sound card that was originally installed on my laptop is "Conexant High definition SmartAudio HD2. Is there something more I need to do in order for me to get the same quality of sounds I have before installation?

    Moreover, the light of my keyboard for caps lock shift and scrolling also failed after installation. I reformat my laptop after the incident, so I can get a good in the new system, but it does not solve the problem.

  • Wireless keyboard no longer works with Bootcamp that run under El Capitan

    I have an iMac 21.5 mid-2011 "2.7 Ghz, 12 GB with a Bootcamp with Windows 8 partition is installed.

    Everything that used to work very well.

    End of September / beginning of October, I installed El Capitan, but never checked Bootcamp as only a few client projects require me to switch platforms.

    A recurring job that needs to be updated with Windows apps landed on my desk today.

    So I started Bootcamp/Wiindows and everything seemed normal.

    My Apple Wireless Mouse mouse works but found, when I got to the Windows account login screen, that my Apple Wireless keyboard does not work with Windows more.

    I have read several threads on this discussion forum and tried the suggestions made by different people: the VMRAM reset, turn off the iMac and unplug the power supply, the keyboard in Mac OS X Bluetooth pairing. But no joy.

    Several responses seem to indicate that there is a software which can be downloaded in Windows that allow the keyboard is working again.

    However I can't sent the newspaper on the screen to reach the Windows desktop, because I need to enter my password or security number using my wireless keyboard.

    If I seem to be stuck between the hammer and the anvil :-(

    Are there bright and sensible ideas I can try to fix this?
