Hey Mazin48

If you are using a desktop computer, the first thing to try is another keyboard and see if this fixes the problem

If a laptop try a usb keyboard

If that works for the laptop, contact the manufacturer of the laptop

  • My shift key does not work on my MacBook Pro

    My shift key does not work on my MacBook Pro. Can I use capital letters but only if I click on change and it's annoying. When I click on the passage icon shift comes at the top right of my screen to show its on but when I click on the lock button nothing happens as it used to glow green when I clicked it. Before someone says go to the system preferences and go to the modifier keys and restore them or make sure caps lock shift is on lock shift, I've tried that already, I looked it upward and found nothing similar. Help ASAP would be appreciated because it is really annoying

    Hello Gracepullan1,

    I understand that shift key of your MacBook Pro does not respond as before. Fortunately the steps below can help to restore the functionality of the SHIFT key on your Mac.

    1. In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    2. On the view menu, choose the speech.
    3. Click on the text to Speech tab.
    4. If "Text Speak selected when you press the button" is enabled, the key or combination of keys set to read the text cannot be used for other purposes, or used for typing text - click on set the key and replace it with a less commonly used key combination (try using the modifier such as SHIFT keys, command) Option and control). Or disable the option "Read the selected text when the key is pressed".
    5. Click the accessibility pane or universal access in system preferences, and then click the keyboard tab.
    6. Make sure the slow keys is off. With slow keys on, you must press a key for a longer period of time so he can be recognized.
    7. In the accessibility pane or universal access, click the mouse and make sure mouse keys is turned off. With the active mouse buttons, you cannot use the numeric keypad to enter numbers - instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to activate the MouseKeys to five presses down option, you can disable this option to avoid accidentally activate it.) If the mouse keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard without the numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Impossible to type while mouse keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
    8. If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard do not work as expected, see Mac OS x: how to change the behavior of the function keys.
    9. If the problem persists, use the keyboard Viewer to help isolate the problem:
      1. Click the component language & text (Mac OS X v10.6) or international (Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier) in system preferences.
      2. Click on the tab Input Sources (or tab Menu entry under Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier version).
      3. Click on the keyboard and the characters 'On' box Viewer checkbox to select (click on the viewer of keyboard "On" checkbox under Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
      4. In the entry menu (flag), choose Show Keyboard Viewer.

  • If the keyboard is connected and detected by OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application) and try to type something using the keys that failed before to see if they highlight in the keyboard Viewer.
  • Start up from the Mac OS X installation disc, choose Terminal from the utilities menu and test buttons that did not previously.  If the keys work while started from the install disc, the keyboard works correctly.  How to solve a problem of software allows to isolate the software problem that may be causing the keys to not answer.

  • Satellite C660 - the SHIFT key does not work

    Hello

    I have a problem with a Satellite C660.
    The keyboard, I cannot use the SHIFT key. After you have installed windows everything worked properly, the problem recurs after a few days. Practically the SHIFT key does not work.
    On the one hand I'm the A and the other side works like ESC.

    Help me I'm crazy.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    To me that sounds more like a keyboard failure, I can't imagine that it could be linked to the question of the windows operating system do you have tested an external USB keyboard.

    Please test this. In this case, you can check if it s really a software problem.
    If the USB keyboard works correctly, it means that your internal keyboard is malfunctioning.

  • Reinstalled Windows 7 but Windows office product key will not work

    I kept getting a blue screen and computer kept stopping and restarting. Done all updates day and driver updates, but nothing has worked. So I decided to do the HP recovery and do a complete reinstall of Windows 7 and everything works well so far.

  • Shift key does not work properly

    Hello - I have problems with my shift key. Some letters will benefit, some will not. Maj doesn t work also for the question marks, dollar signs, brackets etc.

    Can anyone suggest the problem please /-question mark!
    ABCDEFGHIjkllmnopQRSTuvwxyz - it seems to be the keys on the left side of the keyboard!

    Hello!

    I think the best option would be if you connect an external keyboard and test it. You can connect it via USB.
    If you have desktop, take the keyboard and test it on your laptop.

    If the external keyboard works, you need a new internal keyboard. New keyboards are not so expensive then contact ASP and ask for it. ;)
