keys on the keyboard do not always record at the time of impact

keys on the keyboard do not always record when hit - very annoying and tedious to have to go back and find lack of letters

Have you tried another keyboard to see if it is a hardware problem? You didn't say if it is a laptop or not (even with a laptop, you can connect and external to test keyboard). This machine has always had this problem?

  • Key ESC Office keyboard does not work on desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 x

    Key ESC Office keyboard does not work on desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 x

    Now, it's a boring, which several other users have reported under different threads. Because I couldn't find a post with quite similar symptoms, I made my own topic.

    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 x on an old one (Intel Quad-Core, 4 GB RAM, 524 GB HDD - in case, for reasons unknown to me, someone needs to know it...) , DellXPS system. Not more than a few weeks ago my home button keyboard unresponsive on this system.

    I did a lot of troubleshooting, but these measures have been carried out:
    * Tested keyboard on the other system, touch ESC WORKS on the other system
    * Reinstalled keyboard and USB drivers on the XPS system, ESC key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
    * Connected to a never-before-used USB keyboard, ESC key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
    * Opened and cleaned the keyboard, tested, Escape key WORKS, Don't DO NOT WORK on the XPS system
    * Tested in various applications: Desktop (Esc will close the start menu), Photoshop, Vegas, Notepad, games full screen OpenGL,Escape key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
    * Google for possible solutions, none found...

    Note: Highlights show where the ESC key does not work. I am troubled by the XPS system.

    In case you missed it my list of troubleshooting steps, the ESC key works on another computer of Windows 7 system.

    I have to still garble my self through the registry in the hope that someone might have an idea of the steps to follow before I lose a day to see the things that I honestly know squat. Please help if you can; What could be the issue/common application that separates this key in the Windows world and how could I solve this problem?

    Thank you in advance!

    For reference,.
    No major changes have been made since the keyboard unresponsive with the exception of:
    Updates to FireFox (including modules Ad-Block Plus, NoScript, which have also been updated).
    Windows Update
    A 10.x MB World of Warcraft patch/update on a keyboard AFTER week unresponsive

    Already installed the patches StarCraft II and World of Warcraft, which none touched my keyboard to my knowledge. I finished almost all of StarCraft II and had no problems...

    I know it's a bit old, but I was living the question myself.  Thought I had found the problem and it was fixed but then it happened again.  Came to find out (by closing a program and test the ESC key) it's because Photoshop.

    With the help of Photoshop, which could match the case you mention.  Not only that but I did a search ('ESC' does not not Photoshop) and stumbled on some answers/solutions workaround for it.  One is to use SHIFT + ESC ESC does not work.

    Hope this helps someone.  I fell it using my original research ("Windows 7" BSE "ESC" keyboard does not) and know that others are likely to see.  If you have not already learn the cause, in the year + since your original message, then voila.

    Having security "key" for your wireless network rarely allows a connection problem, because it is a long and complex character 64 code... but assuming you have a Mac running a current or recent operating system... Here's hoping that this will help you:

    Hi AyaanNadeem,

    Have you made any changes to the computer before the show took place?

    Method 1
    I suggest you to connect different keyboard and verify whether these keys work.

    Method 2
    Try to update the drivers for the keyboard from the manufacturers Web site.

  • My Acer Aspire V - 123 Windows 8 keeps freezing and some keys on the keyboard are not working

    I'm currently using a netbook ACER ASPIRE V - 123 with Windows 8 as its operating system and it is not yet updated to 8.1.

    At first when my computer laptop while boots 'seems' to agree, and whenever I try to open a file without any content it took me about 30-45 seconds, opening a program would take me almost 45 seconds to a minute, and I think that something is not right with my laptop and when I try to open a website via my web browser and my laptop would just FREEZE and I can't do anything about it , but I hate to do HARD reset. And to add to this unfortunate scenario is that some of the keys on my keyboard are not working the letters like R, T, I, O and backspace and many others (which I don't remember exactly one by one).

    I try to read some forums on different sites and some posts to the community of MS and did several tests like starting in SAFE MODE w / NETWORKING and downloaded the software like MALWAREBYTES to find potential infections, but nothing found. I also did the start-up in MINIMAL MODE, but again, the situation was the same, but when I'm the boot without failure the filling and freezing are only decrease and I don't want always starts in mode safe.

    From now my laptop is booting in a start-up in MINIMAL MODE and I don't know what to do next, what to try next. I hope someone could lead me to the solution to this problem, I would be eternally GRATEFUL.

    Please do help me in a step by step process and if possible please guide me with pictures or screenshots because I prefer to learn things when I Visual effects on what to do.

    Thanks for patiently reading this post.

    Hi Ben,

    Sorry for the late reply, the laptop has been fixed, it seems to be a hardware problem. We disconnected the connection of the keyboard to the laptop right now I use an external keyboard to type. Cannot afford now to buy and replace my laptop keyboard, the graphics card Driver has been updated also and I've reformatted the OS

    The gel did not appear more in the normal boot and if all goes well for work this way for good.

    Thanks for the information you have shared to me, he has also been a great help.

    until next time Ben!

    Best regards

  • HP Pavilion G6-1008TU some keys on the keyboard are not working

  • My "Delete" key on the keyboard is deleting is no longer.

    The "DELETE" key on my keyboard does not work.
    I use the 'remove' frequently when you type, so it makes life difficult.

    I first noticed that early this am. I thought that a reboot it will probably open upwards.

    When I turned on computer back this afternoon, it still does not work.

    As far as I know at this moment, all my other system functions properly.

    Not only that, but the functions of the keys - PrtSC, NumLock, all work.

    (Don't know how to test the function "Insert" - I'm not really sure of its function, as if I place the cursor "hits" to a certain place and type, the characters normally insert without needing a special key).

    Unknown yet, I went to the system restore. It was always about 2.5 weeks of restore points.
    They are all gone.

    The only ones there:
    12/07/2010 - system: at the request of Checkpoint
    13/07/2010 - 01:35:30 - updated Windows Installer:

    It is doubly disturbing, as I disabled it (setting "never Check for Updates - not recommended") updates of Windows.

    Just do a system restore to the restore point of 7/13 ("installation: Windows Update"), but the "Delete" not always properly - functioning key does not remove.

    ???

    I'll do a scan now, but had scanned 12 or the last 11 with no problems.

    I guess I could restore 7/12 'to the control point application"my only alternative restoration - should have done this instead of using the control point 7/13 - but I'm still a little afraid of doing more than one restore, that I had an accident in the past to do this.

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your laptop/computer/keyboard computer > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.

    And try a different keyboard.

    See you soon.

  • Satellite M30 - keyboard does not work

    Hello

    I have a problem with the keyboard of my laptop:
    Since I was able to type the password of the BIOS, it should be correct from a technical point of view.
    But once having written the pass BIOS keyboard no longer works. It just doesn' react - it is even impossible to hit F2 to open the BIOS menu.
    XP / system displays all hardware conflicts.
    The laptop do not fall down or something like that.
    I bought a USB keyboard, and it worked correctly from the start.

    I tried every shortcut I know and a lot I didn't know until now, but it still does not work.

    Is there a shortcut XP or Toshiba to disable the keyboard?
    Or do you think this could be a hardware problem - but why it should be possible to write the password...?

    [Edited by: admin on 22 July 05 18:02]

    (1) your bios can recognize an external input device and causing the keyboard not working after giving you access.

    (2) remove all other usb devices you have connected (mouse, webcam or other) because they could be interpreted as an external keyboard

    (3) if there is no USB device connected and the problem persists... remove your keyboard drivers external usb while you plug it (remove drivers dethrone device) and before you restart your computer, make sure to remove the external keyboard.

    (3) you can have a software virus recorder or a keyboard that connects to the interruption of your keyboard.

    If none of these permits, try to boot in an o/s different as the knoppix linux that runs directly from cd without need of installation. If your keyboard did not always works, then bring it to support, because the internal flat cable might came down in part.

    Good luck

  • keyboard does not not in bios

    Hello

    Today, I changed some settings in the bios of my Lenovo X 1 carbon (recently updated to the latest version): I had to disable the UEFI mode in order to boot from an external usb key. I thought that I restored the setting as they were at the beginning, but now when I enter the BIOS pressing F1 at startup, the keys on my keyboard do not respond! They work fine under win 8.1.

    I don't know, maybe this problem is related to the support of legacy? How re - activate, if this is the cause of this problem?

    Thank you

    Nevermind, I solved the problem.

    I tried to start the machine from an external usb in which was installed Memtest and Secure Boot did not allow for this. I restarted the machine and went back into the bios and everything was fine.

  • DAQmx and PDM not always work

    Hello

    I am new to the DAQmx and PDM vi and I'm hoping someone can help me. The attached code contains several structures of matter, but only one of them has the DAQmx and PDM vi running through them. My intention is to record the output voltage of two photo-recepteurs that I scan the current in a diode laser controller.  When I run this code that it does not always record the values while I'm scanning and when I leave the TDMS files viewer program will show me no data. Sometimes, but rarely, he will show me some data. The sequence stacked within the structure of case is code that runs the laser controller and a couple of translational mounts. The DAQmx and PDM vi who must save the data are right next to that.

    Thank you!

    I have it! All I had to do was move the vi DAQmx Start Task in the Structure box.

    But, I still don't know if I should have analog 1 D wave or analog DBL 2D. Who does?

  • Function keys on the z500

    Hello

    The default behavior of the F1 through F12 keys on the z500 are assigned to the laptop computer functions like mute, turn sound or brightness up and down and so on.

    Is there a way to reverse the way F1, F2... F12 keys work as they work like on any other regular keyboard.

    I use the basic features of the F - keys all the time, when renaming files, research and so on and I want to be able to use them without having to press "fn" every time.

    Thank you!
