Problems with the keyboard does not

I am on windows 7 and for a week, my keyboard does not work. some of the keys do not work. p, return, tab key, and a few others do not work. My on-screen keyboard works fine - except for the question mark-. I tried the drivers, and the computer says that it has the best drivers so no need to update. I don't know where it came from, but then, after an update of windows, my keyboard is back to normal. It worked fine for three days and then, once again, he screw up. It's always the same keys that don't work, so I don't think that my keyboard is worn. my computer is only a year. It's a computer laptop sony vaio. whenever I press the p key, for example, the Start button - a physics - flashes. same thing for the other buttons. When I press the return key, the Start button flashes.

in the bios, the keys do not work either.

can anyone help

Get a cheap USB keyboard and see if it works.  You can buy those cheap for $10 or less.  The fact that the keyboard does not work in the BIOS means is not a Windows problem.

Good luck.

  • Problem with the modem does not

    I come from Netflix through Wii I can get on it and upload a movie, then when I go back and try to get another or do something else, he says I am offline. The modem no longer works. I can't use WiFi on Iphone either. I can close my modem for a bit then he put on my internet Iphone works and will Netflix. I get Netflix early looking around, then he'll do it again.

    Thanks for any help.

    Let's see... your post included Netflix, Wii (by Nintendo), iPhone (by Apple), an unidentified modem (which may or may not include your wireless router) and does not mention your ISP.  Why do you ask your question in a forum of Windows XP?

    Just guessing, but I would say you should replace your wireless router or talk to your service provider.

    Hello

    I tried to block my external hard drive with bitlocker, but unfortunetly got encryption interrupted before finishing because I accidentally unplugged the hard drive, I use windows 7... And now when I enter the password the bitlocker stops responding until I unplug the external drive, I tried to decipher the drive using bitlocker repair tool in cmd, but she also is stuck at 29% every time if I managed to get some data back but not my whole data.

    Thank you

    I'm sorry to say, but you have made two big mistakes:

    (a) you forgot to backup your data regularly, e.g. once per week.
    (b) you have not backed up your data before making a major change, such as when your data encryption.

  • I have a problem with the Aero does not.

    Original title: Aero do not work

    Aero will not work on my pc cause my graphics card is an Ati Radeon 9200 series and doesn't support Aero cause the producer do not release the update. I'm looking for a solution to make aero work? Thank you.

    Hello Nello,

    The support of the ATI Radeon 9200 series to only Windows XP drivers. These drivers do not support WDDM 1.1, and therefore will not support the Aero features. I've looked everywhere and there seems to be no work around that. In this case, I would say that you can buy a new graphics card or contact AMD support for assistance:

  • the keyboard does not have to return the system to the standby mode

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit system.

    The fundamental problem is that, after working properly for more than a year and a half, this Win7 machine suddenly stopped enlightenment of the mode before using the keyboard a few months ago. It still immediately responds to a mouse click, then dysfunction of the keyboard was only a minor inconvenience. The keyboard is equipped with a PS/2 connector, the mouse uses a USB port.

    However, several times lately the keyboard did not return after the awakening of the system; It is a biggest drawback. Each of these three times the keyboard had returned to normal after a reboot of the operating system, using the mouse to manipulate the Start Menu. I noticed nothing otherwise askew with the keyboard at any time, which suggests that this is not a problem with hardware keyboard. I would like to know how to get the system back to normal.

    I don't know if the following is relevant, but it is similar:
    There is a card audio semi professional, with its own control panel software, installed in the computer. With the exception of the occasional limited testing, I do no audio recording here, but I often work on audio recordings downloaded from other sources. Thus, the audio card is really only reading used mode.

    A few months ago a question arose on the settings of the control panel to monitor a recording against existing tracks. Under Win7, the map control panel is configured differently that in previous versions of Windows, if the answer was not immediately obvious.

    I worked on the necessary configuration changes in Control Panel of the card as a test to determine how this follow-up. I may also changed some settings in the console Windows, but I'm not sure. Unfortunately, unlike in versions previous OS, the Windows mixer table affect use of the sound card and it is possible that I got all inputs muted in the Windows mixer as a general precaution.

    Put the system into "sleep" (in the Start Menu) is done several times during my normal day. After running these tests of control, I found that the card does not work after that system was return of the mode 'sleep'. Immediately after the trials I reset control panel of the sound card for my normal use. All seems OK for audio operation was normal except after public awareness of Sleep Mode.

    Audio playback seemed normal in all applications. Programs appear to progress successfully through a recording during playback. Indicators like meters, position of playback cursor and displays the elapsed time has shown its normal operation, but nothing has reached the map output Sockets. I could not find any audio settings that seem to not correct. The Device Manager said that the card was working properly. Restart the normal audio returned BONE, as it does now (most of the time) for the keyboard.

    I played with things for two or three weeks. I've posted questions on some audio related forums, but no suggestion had no effect. Finally, I was ready to uninstall the card its and its drivers, then reinstall, when I remembered on the System Restore Points.

    I found there was a generated system restore point made a few hours before I did my test of the monitor-the-new-record. I used the restore point and the audio card to return to normal, the awakening with the rest of the system.

    The only thing I could say to be uninstalled by the restoration of the system has a few updates of Microsoft Security Essentials. I immediately did a manual update of that, to ensure it would not be any effect on the audio. Audio worked properly since registration, including, but I have not retested monitoring check against existing tracks.

    It was shortly after the keyboard problem has started. In this case I don't know what it is changed on the computer that could have led to the problem, but it seems not unlikely that some settings in the registry system is again wrong.

  • T410 doesn't start, white screen and the keyboard does not power on.

    Hi, my laptop Lenovo T410 does not start. I hit the power button and looks like it is about to start. The thinklight flashes on as normal, the cd drive is checked, the caps lock on, then nothing/button blinks. No display and the keyboard does not respond. Power led lights up; If I leave it awhile the fan turns on. Can I stop the machine using the power button, but the problem remains the next time I turn it on.

    I tried to remove power and battery, power 10 button time then with the power to 30 seconds, before replacing the power supply and the battery but nothing happens. I tried to use a different keyboard. I tried to plug in an external monitor. No change.

    This problem appeared after I left it on overnight. I have the feeling that it entered into hybernation mode, perhaps, and that it disturbed some important functions which he could not complete. Not sure if. Any help gratefully received.

    Thank you very much

    It's the original configuration of your laptop:

    ThinkPad T410 2522BF1
    i5 - 520 M (2.4 GHz), 4 GB RAM, 160 GB 7200 RPM HD, 14.1 in. LCD 1280 x 800, Intel 5700MHD, DVD, Intel 802.11agn Wireless Modem, 1 Gb Ethernet, UltraNav smart, secure, camera, 6 c Li-ion, Win7 Pro 32

    I firstly the LCD cable or secondary LED could be damaged, but if you don't see anything on an external monitor I tend to think it's a motherboard problem.

    Last thing you could try putting running a Live Distro Linux from a CD/DVD or USB drive, using Ubuntu or Linux Mint, for example.

  • S205 - problem with the keyboard (right shift key)

    Hello.

    Google couldn't really help me, so I try my luck here

    Two days ago, I met a rather strange problem with the keyboard of my S205 (running Win7 64 bit). For some reason any the right shift key is no longer works as a shift key, but it has the same function as "Alt Gr" key on the right side. FYI: German keyboard. For example, the @ is on the same key as the Q here and normally I have press the AltGr key to type a @. Now the same thing with the right shift key.

    I tried a couple of things already, none of them helped. I have accidentally changed the layout of the keyboard, checked once again in the Control Panel, everything is OK here. No Fn - keys are activated. I tried to plug in an external USB keyboard - on that one, the shift key works fine. The right shift key is the only key that does not work properly. I even tried the keyboard on the screen so I could see which key was pressed when I pressed the SHIFT key and she showed the "Alt Gr" - button is pressed.

    I am open to any suggestion. Thank you

    In case someone might have the same problem - unfortunately I don't have a solution. He solved somehow itself a few months later. Really strange thing, but the key is working again.
