MacBook pro a key on the keyboard does not work

Hello

Last day I was cleaning my keyboard (I do not used any water or liquid), and when I handed the keys, I found that my 'enter' key does not work.

I think it's because that material because the key does not work even without the key cover. Is it possible that I have demaged some buses on the baseboard of the keyboard?

In addition, I can not open Apple Diagnostics, and while I turn on my macbook it produces sounds like that I am button constantly some.

    I agree with Weezle. In any case, I have no much experience with it, but I think that some symbols do not appear automatically if you close button only once. There must be something.

  • 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.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    I hope this helps!

  • Satellite A300D-126 the keyboard does not work

    I reinstalled the driver but it still does not. What could be the problem? Help please. Thank you

    Hello

    What s wrong exactly?
    You have reinstalled the drivers?
    What drivers do you mean?

    The keyboard driver is part of the Windows operating system and it cannot be reinstalled separately.

    If your keyboard doesn't work properly then either the software doesn't run as it should, or the material (keyboard) is defective.

    You could try reinstalling the operating system using the Toshiba HDD recovery to check whether the problem is related to the software.
    If the keyboard does not work after this procedure, then a hardware problem might be possible.

    Please make sure that the NumLock key is pressed while the button lights on your keyboard, which indicates that it works.

    Please, start your computer in Mode safe. The numeric keypad works in Mode safe?

    • Right-click the Start button
    • Go to the control panel
    • Go to ease of access
    • Click on change how your keyboard works
    • Remove the turn checks on the keys area rocking. (This should stop your laptop computer to beep when you press the NumLock key).
    • Press OK.

    If there is a check next to mouse keys:

    • Get him out.
    • Press OK.
    • Test the keypad.

    If there is NOT a check next to mouse keys:

    • Please check the box
    • Press OK.
    • Test the keypad.

  • Portege R100: the keyboard does not work

    I am facing a problem. My laptop keyboard does not work. How can I purchase a new Panel of key for this model, or how I can fix the problem.

    Hello

    I put t know what is wrong exactly with your keyboard, but I guess the keyboard needs to be replaced.
    To my knowledge the keyboard was fixed by 2 screws under the thin cover above the keyboard.
    You must remove the thin cover and then the 2 screws.
    Then, you will be able to set the keyboard.

    But be careful; the keyboard must be connected with the flat cable to the motherboard.

    Compatible keyboard, you can order from the Toshiba service partner in your country.
