Microsoft Arc Keyboard does not

I have a bow of Microsoft keyboard that has mysteriously stopped working. It used to work fine, but we know that it works at all. I don't get any notification that a USB device is plugged when I plug in the transceiver. When I uninstall the IntelliType driver, the keyboard presents itself as a keyboard HID Device in Device Manager, but does not work; When I install the IntelliType driver, the keyboard disappears from the Device Manager. I know that there is nothing wrong with the keyboard itself because it works fine in my other computer.
I have a Lenovo x 220 running Win7 x 64.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for this - popping out batteries and return again worked a treat!

  • Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard does not completely work in Vista

    I have the MS Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 installed on my PC.

    I recently had a few separate issues with my computer and technology at Geek Squad did some work cleaning on my PC for best performance and to get rid of a bad program.  I am running Vista SP2.

    On my keyboard, there are a series of buttons on the top which opens to different folders, or programs.  I had to open Excel and open Word.  The others are default Media Player, email, IE 8, My Documents and my pictures.  Everything worked correctly and opened the program folder / to, before cleaning.  Now mail, IE 8, and Media Player buttons still work, but others did not.  However if I open the Microsoft Keyboard program buttons become functional and remain so until I restart the computer. The keyboard works fine otherwise.  Y at - it a boot option which can have been withdrawn inadvertently during the cleaning process, which is the cause and if so how can I have reconstitute?

    Hi BCfromKY,

    To test the response of the keys on the keyboard, use the Microsoft keyboard Diagnostics (MS Key), a utility program that is included with the Microsoft IntelliType software. To use MS Key, follow these steps.

    Note the MS key utility is only supplied with the version of the Microsoft IntelliType 1.1 and later versions. If you do not have Microsoft IntelliType installed, you can visit the following Microsoft Web site to install this software:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=MK (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=MK)

    Start Microsoft Keyboard Diagnostics. To do this, use one of the following methods:

    a. Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories and then click Run.

    (b) in the Open box, type mskey and then click OK.

    c. If you get no response in MS Key on your keyboard, test the keyboard on another computer. If the keyboard does not work on another computer, see the "Références" section for more information on how to contact Microsoft Supplemental parts to get a replacement.

    For more information, you can consult the following article:

    Troubleshoot wired keyboards that do not or only the erroneous characters category

  • Microsoft Arc Keyboard not recognized by the keyboard software

    Hello Hans,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the IntelliType software is not able to detect the keyboard of the CRA. The question could arise for various reasons, including a faulty hardware, damaged driver etc. I would suggest trying the following methods and check if they help to solve the problem.

    Method 1:

    Run the hardware and devices troubleshooter. It checks the common issues of interest and ensures that a new device or hardware connected to your computer has been installed correctly.
    Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

    If the issue still not detected or resolved, proceed to the next method.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you try to install TWO software provided for Windows 7 in the following link of support for Microsoft Arc Keyboard. Check if the keyboard is detected.

    Microsoft Accessories: keyboard Arc

    If the problem persists, I suggest you refer to the following article which allows troubleshooting of common keyboard problems.

  • Microsoft MultiMedia 1.1 wireless keyboard does not work - Windows 7 64 bit

    Keyboard does not work.  Does not enter any data.  Battery is good, the wireless signal is good.  Tested on another computer and does not work there either.  Tried to uninstall, reinstall and checked for driver updates. Original installation disk is incompatible with Windows 7.  Message says device is working, but the keyboard is "dead."

    Appreciate the suggestions, pls.  TX

    Not a good sign that it does not work on another computer. Go to control panel > devices and printers. If the keyboard doesn't appear as an installed device, think of it as dead and buried.

    However if trying to load a Boot CD or Usb car via the options F12, the device is recognized
    but click on any other key, the cursor just sits there intermittently at me and the keyboard does not respond.
    What makes strange, is that an external keyboard is recognized but the mirrors one internal.
    I have the latest version of the bios update.

    F2 in the bios - ok keyboard.
    Start in win7 - keyboard ok.
    Insert bootable back disk via F12 option-charges but no keyboard reagent.
    I think a partial corrupt bios

    but click on any other key, the cursor just sits there intermittently at me and the keyboard does not respond.

    And what should happen on this stage?

    For me, this looks like a problem with your startup disk.
    I installed OS using different disks of Microsoft or USB recovery media and all you have to do is click on most of the time on the button NEXT.

    If the keyboard works in BIOS and Windows, I see no problem with the keyboard there.

  • Keyboard does not work under Vista on Satellite L300D

    Dear readers,

    I have a Satelite L300D with Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium. It is about 5 months and so far I have not had problems.

    Today, I started the book and noticed that I was not able to type my password for Windows.
    I thought, there must be a problem with the keyboard and restarted the laptop.
    I tried to enter the Bios and I wonderd, keyboard worked as expected it. Back to Vista, the keyboard does not work yet.

    I rebooted again and activated Capslock befor the Windowsstartup and looked at the LED.
    Just after the appearance of the Windowslogo, Capslock off a keyboard was dead.
    So I thougt it must be a driver error. I deleted the two driver files Hardware-Director told me where the drivers keyboard, rebooted twice a keyboard had returned to work, but only until the next reboot.

    So I decided to make the recovery of HARD drive and reinstall Windows, thinking, this should fix the problem.

    But it's still there.

    Is there someone who could help me? If this is an error of the driver, is should have disappeared when the laptop is in a State of delivery, right?

    I would be very happy for any advice or help

    Greetings from Berlin

    PS: I want to say sorry for my bad English... :-)

    Hey mate

    > It's about 5 months and until now I didn't have problems.

    I wonder why this keyboard problem happened after 5 months of use?  :|
    This means that this keyboard worked fine using the Vista and the Toshiba Recovery disk operating system but recently stopped working if the Microsoft OS is running.

    In my eyes it s a hardware issue ok, it s really strange that you can use it in the BIOS and the Linux system. But I recommend to contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country and ask if the technician could test with the new keyboard.

    I think that your warranty is valid and therefore everything must be covered by the warranty!

    Good luck

    Hi ECJ-10,

    Well, you answered your question yourself. They are different products, so you need 2 USB receivers.

    The alternative is to get a replacement of microsoft mouse if it is still under warranty, they usually do.
