Left Ctrl key does not
I have a Hp ProBook 450 G1 and all of a sudden my left ctrl has stopped working, everything else works fine. I tried the StickyKeys, restart/reboot, uninstall the keyboard and put it back in, but nothing works. I tried to use a screen keyboard too to see if it works, but it doesn't.
Probably the first sign of a faulty keyboard. You'll probably have to replace it. For a laptop, which requires qualified personnel and the RIGHT part. Check by connecting an external keyboard. Use it at the moment.

Satellite P200D-139 - left CTRL key does not
Hello. I recently bought a new P200D-139 and have found that the left CTRL button does not work. For example, if I try to copy using CTRL + C, it does not. It is the way in which the keyboard is configured with these laptops or is it a problem of possible hardware/software?
All the tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have the same laptop and CTRL + C works on the first day. The laptop with muss factory settings allow you to use this key combination.
It works with the right CTRL key? -
Left Ctrl key does not work as expected
Original title: keyboard/Windows problem
Hi there I met a strange problem that just happened, don't forget that I did not add that shortcuts to my keyboard just randomly happened.
So when I press the LEFT CTRL key a far left, it opens a new window Chrome and in search spam 000 bar if you keep holding it, it will continue to open several windows and keep doing this.
Any idea? Thank you
PS Also scanned for Malware nothing shown!
Hello
1. What is the brand and model of the keyboard?
2. you did any software or hardware changes to the computer before the show?
Analysis of computer malware in order to solve the problem has been a very good start to get the problem resolved. I really appreciate your technical expertise.
Instead of using the physical keyboard to type and enter data, you can use the on-screen keyboard. On-screen keyboard displays a Visual keyboard with all the standard keys. You can select keys using the mouse or another pointing device, or you can use a unique key or a group of keys to scroll through the keys on the screen.
Type without using the keyboard (on-screen keyboard)

CTRL key does not work as expected
Original title: keyboard Help!There is a recurring issue going on with my keyboard or very probably my pc...Well first to start with - I use a software type "ventrilo" called "mumble" that uses the 'CTRL' key as a key to talk with others in the same precedente.* *-could be a reasonMy CTRL key seems really screw randomly until that moment, it turn on sticky keys [where ctrl has practically been pressed permanently] even if it is not enabled on the settings... which makes it really difficult to browse web site or use games because I'm unable to type.Even if I try to disable it by using the two keys ctrl - it does not turn off...When I try to copy and paste using my CTRL key left it appears just under the letter c or v when I'm trying to do, but when I do it with my right ctrl - it is successful...* steam question *.I use also a program called "steam" that allows me to talk with others and play some games - but the sticky keys seem to be really stuck on this issue, I am unable to do anything...Whenever I press 'a' after that it is already used once - it will remove 2 characters: example: I type AGT-> and I press 'a' once more-> deletions G and Tor whenever I have press BACKSPACE at all during a conversation of steam, it deletes everything.Urgent W on it also a tab or an im window closed on...pressing V will paste what I had copied at all, and finally pressing z would substitute a letter - for example: za-> type z once more-> towers to zzI hope you understand what I'm talking... help? Thank you...Hello Kent,
Let us make sure that this isn't a keyboard problem. Connect a different keyboard to see if the CTRL key is working. If it works fine, then it is a problem of faulty device. You may need to replace the driver.
If this does not work on the new keyboard, then it must be a setting in the software that you have installed that is causing this problem.
As a work around, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard and check if this solves this problem.
1. type of Device Manager in the Start Search box and press on enter.
2. browse the keyboard.
3. right click on the mentioned keyboard driver and select Uninstall.
4. once the driver is uninstalled, restart the computer and check if the problem persists.
Note: Windows will automatically detect the keyboard and install the necessary driver via Windows updates.
If the keyboard print incorrect characters, then try the steps mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258826
I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Portege R500 - Ctrl Key does not
Hi guys
I have two toshiba portege r500, who never really be used since buying about 2 years ago.
Today I don't have one to begin to use it and find that the CTRL key is not working that I thought it was strange.
After browsing a bit I couldn't find a solution then I'm just another identical laptop on and from using them to find exactly a problem only.Laptops are both under XP.
I reformatted and uninstalled the keyboard driver to see if that would solve the problem but it did not.All others. Many have suggested that this may be due to a damaged cable keyboard but I think that it would be very likely that they would both violate the same way.
Thanks in advance
Connect an external USB keyboard and check if the button would work.
If the button can be used with the external keyboard, then the internal keyboard is faulty and must be replaced. -
Satellite L555-11U, CTRL key does not work.
Welcome,
I bought this laptop about 2 weeks ago.
Since Monday, both the CTRL key are as "disabled" but I'm sure, that they are not damaged.
Because:
When I press on (left and right) CTRL + v, this spell: vr. Or c: C3Then I discovered while playing Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2:
If I use the wheel size the Volume, the function of CTRL has been set for her.
This means: in Cod MW2 I use CTRL to crouchinng... now, if I use the wheel I Crouch. Even in other games.I did my best to write in English: D
Thanks for the help,

Hello
Very strange, I think that the buttons are not damage, but I think there could be a problem with the keyboard.
But just a question; have you tried to reinstall the operating system and to check if the button works again? You use the latest version of the BIOS?
Please check everything first.If the buttons do not work even the installation of new OS and new BIOS then it s a hardware problem and the keyboard should be replaced
I think this shouldn't be a problem given that the guarantee is valid and everything should be done for free.

T410 CTRL key does not work after update BIOS to 1.45 (German keyboard)
Dear community,
I updated the BIOS of my TP T410 (2522), German keyboard, to 1.45. After the update, both CTRL keys don't work anymore. Ditto for the AltGr key. When I switch to CTRL FN in the FN key BIOS - as supposed - works like the CTRL key. But when I turn off again the FN returns to his good funtion and CTRL does not work.
When I connect an external keyboard via USB it works perfectly.
Any suggestions how get the CTRL key works again?
Best regards, Simon

CTRL keys do not work on Portege R500
Both CTRL keys do not work on my Portege (Vista Biz) 500.
I guess this isn't a hardware problem. Because that both keys are not recognized even though I hardly use the CTRL button on the right.
I don't know if it is caused by a program (newly installed). I've just updated BIOS 1.6 without effect.
I also tried to boot the system with Linux on a USB key. Also, the keys do not work on Linux.
Does anyone have experience with this problem?
Can I remove the keyboard driver and reinstall it? Could someone explain the procedure?Thank you for all the advice
> laptop does not respond to the Ctrl + alt + delete even before starting an OS (for example, while being in its menu of BIOS).
The keys Ctrl + alt + delete key combination can be used ONLY in Windows OS
It will work not in the BIOS or Windows boot has not been done!Finally, you must make sure that your laptop uses the latest version of the BIOS.
If a newer BIOS is available that be updated!If this does not help, retrieve the device using Toshiba drive!
If the key still won't work, then you should get in touch with an ASP in your country.Here are the steps you have to do

Satellite U305 - left CTRL key is stuck
Somehow, in a hurry one day, I published a few unusual combination of keys such as Fn-break, Ctrl-Ins or something like and now the left WHAT CTRL is stuck to restart the computer. I can't Ctrl + C or CTRL-V with the left CTRL key.
I can at least use the keyboard as long as I hit Fn-end after each reboot.
Is there a way I can reset the keyboard to remove this problem? Thank you.
Hello!
I think that I n the new good t for you because it of not possible to Exchange simple keys on the keyboard.
So in this case you need a new full keyboard because you can buy than a single key or something else.To find a new keyboard, you must contact the nearest authorized service provider. Technicians can order a new keyboard and Exchange.
As much as I know keyboards are not so expensive.
Good bye

F8 key does not have the advanced option!
CS_SystemLabelXPS 15 (9530, end of 2013)CS_OperatingSystemWindows 8I want to do a factory reset and return to the first configuration of my Dell XPS, but when I click F8, it won't go to advanced options, as it normally should, I clicked several times on the F8 key before and after and and each time, but it never shows the advanced options should be , can help you on this? Thank you
yorlinkI managed as well to recover my product key OEM Windows 8.1 :)
Now, I've left two questions:
(1) why the F8 key does not work as it should!
(2) where the recovery partition? I mean I say I format the C: / drive, I'll still be able to save the factory OS or this partition is located in another hidden partition?
In fact my XPS is still under warranty, but when I contacted DELL support they told me by email that they are not able to call me because the PC was purchased from the United Kingdom and that I am not located in the United Kingdom they call me not, turn on! and after that, I asked just for the answers to my questions, but they still didn't have answer,
Just don't call it premium support because it is not
1. the UEFI BIOS and SecureBoot so that the change in the way Windows 8.1 boots. So that the 8.1 Windows start faster than Windows 7, there is almost no time for the user to type F8. This method to access boot options is obsolete as Windows 8.1 simply boots to fast.
To get started, hold the SHIFT key while rebooting. Please see here for more details:
https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=fqqgk2fOtGU&index=5&list=PL1RkaknDn7v88-b9HVWAauoWSHDQhoe4w
2. the recovery partition resides on the same hard drive as a partition unlabelled. Check out this guide here, when I was testing Dell Backup and Recovery on a clean install using the version 1.7.1.2:
https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=xKJjg0VAkIQ&list=PL1RkaknDn7v88-b9HVWAauoWSHDQhoe4w&index=1
Should not be in this version that the recovery partition has been labeled and this has been fixed in version 1.7.5.64.

Microsoft Natural Ergonomic - keys does not not in MS Applications
I Erg Keyboard 4000, v1.0. During the upgrade to Windows 8:
1 tab no longer works in any application. (It is the tab key itself, not Alt + Tab, WinSplat + Tab, etc. There is no error; It's just nothing.
2. Similarly, the tab in a table used to advance to the next cell, or if, in the last cell, add a new line. Now, it does nothing.3. the Caps Lock key does not work in any application.
4 alt - Tab, Ctrl + Tab, Shift + Tab to not work in any context in any product Office, at least as much Office365 is concerned.
It's extremely frustrating. I uninstalled and reinstalled; restarted; cold start; pilots; files system activated with SFC, without result; any other suggestions?
