MacBook Air keyboard does not properly

My MacBook Air keyboard types the front slash after I typed the letters L, O and the period. Then he begins typing the non-stop before slash.  I can stop it for a second when I type a different letter, but it again immediately.  I pressed on the ' | '. "-" button and it does nothing.

so here's what my notes at this moment look like

Jul\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\y\\\\\\\\\

Two\\\ half was. \\\

stop. \\\

my macbook was purchased in September of 2015 and I had this same problem in December... but I somehow managed to do stop. I never gave up, he left in the car or dropped/spilled something on it or around it.

This problem occurs with me signing my password in unlock MacBook, my school work and my general purpose.  can someone help me?

  • MacBook Air battery does not load after resetting SMC

    Hi all, hope you can help me with this. My model of Macbook Air early 2014 seems to have some problems with its battery. The battery status says "do not load" and it is stuck at 74%. My charger light is still red and I tried to check the status of the battery, it is said to be normal; also I have reset the SMC and all that stuff that is suggested on the discussion Forum, but still it is of no use. Someone had a similar problem before?

    Try resetting the SMC two times more.

  • MacBook Air meets does not to the clicks of the mouse or trackpad

    There must be something serious to the software (or firmware?) on my MacBook Air. He stopped to answer all of my keyboard clicks or trackpad today. The two input methods work very well in the Bootcamp partition / Windows 8.1.

    I restored Time Machine (use only the keyboard commands) and this did not fix it. I have reset the PRAM and no improvement. At first there was no edge to restarting with the Apple logo, which appears. Then I formatted the hard drive, all wiping (once again in control of the recovery mode + are that the left click will not work). Reinstall OS x is not possible that the final click required for installation on the hard disk requires a mouse click and can not be triggered by keyboard commands I can find.

    I tried to do it in single user mode, but could not get the unix commands to allow arbitration of disk mode (no idea what it is; just found online).

    I am currently looking for another restore from Time Machine.

    Any ideas? This doesn't seem to be a hardware problem as the Bootcamp partition has functioned well before I nuked it.

    I managed to reinstall OS 10.10, but during the final stages of reinstalling my judgment of clicks of the mouse/trackpad works again after having worked briefly to the recovery partition after formatting the drive. Something is be re-installed inhibits clicks work. I restore to a clean installation with no software installed so I don't think this other program or driver. There is a deeper level of formatting the drive I can do?

  • MacBook pro keyboard does not work (and trackpad too)

    This message is coming for 1-2 days and im bored. It disappears when I closed and reopened my computer after waiting a while, but it is once again.

    (If you're wondering, he wrote my iPad im)

Now I'm typing this from my computer because I found a keyboard at home. But the keyboard and the trackpad in the computer still do not work. Please quick help. It's kinda urgent.

  • product A3E87AV HP dv6t keyboard does not properly

    My keyboard on my hpdv6t does not work correctly. Shift pg up, pg down, etc. Someone at - it a solutation for this?

    Wanted to just report back then all would know how I fixed my problem with the keyboard and the mouse.

    I did as you suggested and did a hard reset and that seemed to work for a while until I reconnected it the battery and the wireless mouse, and then I was right there where I started. So, I started all over and made the process of elimanation. First, put the battery and then checked everything, everything was ok, then I added the mouse back and that was the problem. So I went and bought a mouse wired and tried and it was ok too. Thus, it seems that the mouse wireless mГЄlГ with signals and that could be my cell phone or else as my Kindle wifi or iPad and they were near the laptop. I hope this helps others out there who have similar problems. Also a big thank you to my geek friend

    Frank, who explained the reason for this problem, I never thought of him

  • Equim A210 - keyboard does not properly

    Had major problems with laptop, so made a complete rebbot with repair disc, but now laptop keyboard is not working well.
    If I type the letter O I get LO, and if I type the letter L get OL, the letter that e is just as does the enter key, and if I push on I I KI.

    I read on the functions of key etc. the FN and must admit that I messed around with the FN + several other combinations, and you ask if I have incorrectly configured settings now or could it be something more sinister?

    I have mcafee, who detected no spyware or virus, and the system has been reset to factory conditions and everything else works as per normal?
    Any ideas anyone?

    Hello

    I doubt that it could be a matter of bad adjustment.
    If you would something on the keyboard which should not be enabled then you get another sign but not double letter?  :|

    I think it s a keyboard issue possibly something wrong with hardware

    Could check you if the same phenomenon occurs by using different applications; Word, Wordpad, Editor, etc.
    If the same keyboard behavior would persist with different software, then this would be related to hardware (keyboard problem).

  • Satellite A505-S6980 - keyboard does not properly

    Hello, here is a brief description of this aweful problem I have on my 2 month old A505 S6980.

    As I tried to install Ubuntu, I was restarting windows 7 starts, a screen came to ask me to choose what operating system I want to start, everything seemed normal, but the keyboard was dead, I couldn't choose any.
    I used the power button to restart, but then it would start just after the BIOS loaded, a black screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left for a few seconds, then a beep FORT comes out continuously (beep beep beep beep...) and nothing loads.

    I have attached a USB keyboard and it worked... after many attempts to boot from USB or CD, I managed today to see that the problem seems to come from the keyboard.

    In fact, when I press the letter 'r', he wrote "r4".
    y = y6 [backspace]
    / = /0

    The keypad is nuts, 5 active / disable the Numlock. When you press 2 twice he wrote 52.
    The arrows write numbers...
    Some Fkeys does not as well...

    I bought this laptop only 2 months ago of Lebanon and just now, I am in France. I like there is no people of Toshiba in France who can fix things, except in Paris, that will be quite a chore!

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hello
    Have you tried to pick the operating system with external keyboard? I think, there is a problem with windows mbr (master boot record) which has corrupted by Ubuntu. Try to make the recovery of the system from the hard drive, but I guess it's already gone

  • Re: Satellite L350-145 - keyboard does not properly

    Hello

    I came here hoping that someone might be able to help.

    Suddenly, some time ago my keyboard started to behave a bit strange. The arrows of the cursor type letters rather than direct me to the top or the bottom of a page (letters hkl instead of captiti, of left and right that will take the arrow to the left will take back you a space but only after type h). The zero on the numeric keypad is always followed by 3 (03). The z moves to the (invisible) to somewhere else on the page and you must use the touchpad to get back to your place and often using theshift key for the CAPITALS can create chaos as you continue to type without realizing that you're somewhere else on the page.

    It's starting to really annoy me. Scroll to my itunes is a disaster - I am always taken to artists starting on the letter k!

    Someone suggested an electrical short-circuit on the keyboard, but I don't know what I should do to solve this problem, if this is indeed the problem. Can anyone help? Oh yes, one? is always followed by a p and / is also followed by p and -always followed by a w.
    I have plugged and used a USB keyboard and everything works fine so I know it's the laptop and not the operating system.

    PS - I'm not that tekkie so simple tips you know would like to thank - I have no idea what a BIOS is!

    Thanks again

    Hi Jennifer,.

    > I have plugged and used a USB keyboard and everything works fine
    So the case is clear: your internal keyboard is faulty and you need a new. As you wrote, if an external keyboard is working properly, it s not related to the operating system.

    In my opinion, you should contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. These guys you can get a new keyboard and they can trade for you. If your laptop is under warranty, the repair is free and if not, the keyboard isn't so expensive.

    Here is a list of all ASP s:

  • MacBook Air 11 '' does not turn on or charge

    So here's my problem, I was using the macbook and I decided to close it and then fell asleep. On the next day, I opened it and try to use it, but he never responded. I thought that the battery is dead so I plugged in the charger and discover that the light never went. I was scared so I watched some videos about it and found that I just need to disconnect the battery, turn on without the battery but the charger plugged in, and close it down and put the battery, but who did not work at all. I also discovered that the charger light would come if I just used the charger on another macbook, any ideas on what to do?

  • Keyboard does not properly

    Hello
    I have problem with my keyboard since yesterday.
    For certain letters or numbers pressing them, he hits several characters. I do not have liquid spil on cleanead and I have dust and crumbs. Letters are not in the same area on the keyboard.

    I tried to download the drivers from original laptop keyboard, but for my knees could not find so I guess I already have.
    My version of the laptop is HP Pavilion e081sa-15 Notebook PC.
    So, if someone has idea how to solve, I would be very grateful.

    See you soon

    Hello

    This could be a hardware problem, but it is always worth trying the following.

    Open windows control panel, open Device Manager, expand keyboards, right-click on the "Standard PS/2 Keyboard" entry and select uninstall.

    Judgment of the laptop.

    Then disconnect the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Kind regards
