@ button will not work unless I have copy and paste the table of characters, but then on the odd occasion does not work. Why is this and can I do about it?

Hello

1. What is the serial number and model of the keyboard?

2. is the specific question of the @ key?

3. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

For general information, to obtain @ key on keyboard, you must press shift + 2 buttons on the keyboard at the same time.

Check if it works fine with the keypad.

You can also check if the problem is keyboard or does not connect the external keyboard.

Also: check if the keyboard input language is defined accordingly.

I suggest you to fallow the below methods:

Method 1:

Run the fixit available in the link below and check if that makes a difference

You can also check if the problem persists in safe mode with network and check.

If the key on the keyboard does not work, then fallow step 2.

  • The internal keyboard BACKSPACE key does not work

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite and the BACKSPACE key does not work.

    He will start work the rare opportunity, but then it just stops working again.
    This happens on everything, including word and internet ect.

    It has been like that for a few weeks now and I turned the laptop and turn off many times.
    Is there a way to fix it myself or I send for repair?

    Please, * don't * tell me:
    Get an external keyboard
    Try it turn on and off
    Just highlight the words and use the delete key - it's annoying to have to do this all the time
    Type carefully and do not make so many mistakes

    Thank you!

    > Please, don't tell me not to:
    > Get an external keyboard

    And why shouldn't t someone recommends you to check the functionality using the external keyboard?

    It s recommended to connect an external keyboard to verify how the BACKSPACE key would work using 2nd external keyboard. In case the back might work properly using USB keyboard, the question is very clear; in such cases its main shortcomings. The key cannot be replaced or changed or fixed. In this case, need to replace the entire keyboard!

    In case the BACKSPACE key does not even using the external keyboard, then this would mean that the internal keyboard controller is faulty and in this case only the replacement motherboard would be useful.

    But to be honest, I think that its simple keyboard failure and a replacement would solve this.

  • How can I set at the point when the [key does not work because I have a German keyboard?

    Hi, I'm new to CS6 and worked through the book of Adobe After Effects. Some of the shortcuts do not work for me, probably because I use a German keyboard. In Chapter 11, I have problems because I need to select a layer, go to a specific time and then set to the point, but the [key does not work. Does anyone know a German equivalent or another way to set the point to? Otherwise, if I look at the colored bar in the timeline representing the layer that I want to put a point, can I get the same effect by dragging the edge of the colored bar until I reached the time limit? Or that fails to preserve the relationship of all images existing keys, etc. that I have implemented for a layer in a way that the [key would be? Grateful for any advice.

    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.

  • ; key does not work in foreign language keyboard layouts

    Hello

    I have been using international keyboards such as the provisions of German, Spanish and Portuguese keyboard for many years.  I have implemented mappings to switch between languages and you can quickly type in the language that I need.

    However, yesterday and today, all of a sudden; key stopped working on my international keyboards.  In English, I can type; as many times as I want.  But when I switch to German, the key o (English; key) does not work.  Spanish N does not work.  This is - when I hold it down, I can make it work:

    NNNNNNN and it spits out a long line of characters, and I can remove backwards to get only one of them.

    How boring!  I can't find any other articles on this topic.

    Thank you!

    Deersfeet

    Thanks Frederik,

    I took a look at this thread and realized that my user profile is damaged.  I created a new Windows user and tried to use the German keyboard here and it worked fine.

    Too bad, I really don't want to mess with my files.  Maybe, I'll just buy an external hard drive, so such things don't affect me as well.

    Thank you!
