strange typing out the keyboard

my daughter has type on facebook and all of a sudden all keys that she typed produce 3 characters. Type a "d" poduced something like '= 9 d' I can't even use this computer to talk to a technical support because I can't type the message. IThink it to hit a key combination that changed what do the keys, but I have no idea how to solve this problem.

We tried to restart the computer
We tried to look at the keyboard in the Control Panel, but there is no button that would suggest what to do to fix.

So that you know the original keyboard is faulty and should go in the trash. If she had specialized software, then Yes, that you might as well uninstall it. You might find in Control Panel > Add/Remove programs. Don't disturb the keyboard from Device Manager drivers. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    need a Logitech utility (free download) to achieve this. Check with Logitech

  • Strange problem with the keyboard

    Hello.
    I have problem with my keyboard. It works with delays. I don't know how to fix it.

    Hello

    What do you mean by working with delays?
    As far as I know, you can change the keyboard settings in the keyboard properties.
    Also, if you think that it s not a fault or parameters of software problem but hardware malfunction, you can try to contact the service agent.
    But before you contact the ASP you should recover the operating system.

    Good bye

  • Strange problem with the keyboard event listener

    I have a full screen touch app. To close the application, I set an event listener on keyboard for the key "0". I don't want the press user due to some restrictions Alt + F4 key combination. Problems begin when the application loses focus. Here's the code;

    protected function onComplete(event:FlexEvent):void
    {

    this.setFocus ();
    this.addEventListener (KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, trapKeys, true, 0, true);

    }

    private void trapKeys(e:KeyboardEvent):void {}

    If (e.keyCode == 96) {}
    This.Close ();
    }

    Else if (e.keyCode == 48) {}
    This.Close ();
    }

    }

    When the user change the screen to a different with Alt + TAB application, or any other combination of keys flex app loses focus and does not work when he turns back to my app "0". How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, Ahmed.

    I have absolutely no problem with the solution you are trying to set up - you use mode full-screen interactive mode of keyboard?

    Please consider:

    on full add keyboard listener

    protected function applicationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void

    {

    this.stage.addEventListener (KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, trapKeys);

    };

    //

    protected function applicationActivateHandler(event:AIREvent):void

    {

    If (this.stage)

    {

    switch the State to display full-screen when activated

    If (this.stage.displayState! = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE)

    {

    this.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;

    };

    };

    };

    //

    private var exitHandled:Boolean = false;

    on NUMBER_0 | NUMPAD_0 exit-close

    protected function trapKeys(event:KeyboardEvent):void

    {

    If ((event.keyCode is Keyboard.NUMBER_0

    || event.keyCode is Keyboard.NUMPAD_0)

    (& this.exitHandled == false)

    {

    exitHandled = true;

    this.stage.removeEventListener (KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, trapKeys);

    This.Close ();

    };

    }

    (Note: applicaton of the events 'applicatonComplete' and "applicationActivate" are routed to over managers)

  • How to repair a single touch on the keyboard of my Satellite M

    I have a digital key that "sticks".
    Seems as if the spring no longer works.
    Does anyone know how to fix this without buying a new keyboard?

    My laptop is less than 2 years and I am a touch typist so don't hammer away from the keyboard. I live in a country of the region, so it's a little harder to get to a service center for the correction of a problem (and anyway I think that they would talk to me instead of the entire keyboard!)

    I am happy with the laptop overall, but the keyboard is a bit fragile.
    I had a problem with 2 other keys, but with a bit of violin and pry the keys to the top with a toothpick, the problem seemed to be fixed.

    Unfortunately, the current key of collage is more problematic. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    > I have a key number that 'sticks '.

    > Anyone know how to fix this without buying a new keyboard?

    I think that you will need new keyboard because it of not possible to replace the simple buttons
    You can remove the caps of unique key, but you cannot delete the button

    I m afraid. you will need to buy a new keyboard and then could replace that

    The replacement of keyboard is not really complicated. Two screws fix the keyboard.
    The two screws are hidden under the cover of thin plastic above the F1 - F12 key
    If you remove the plastic cover and the two screws, then you would be able to get out the keyboard, but be careful that the keyboard is connected to the motherboard with a flat cable

  • Satellite P20 - beeps at startup after cleaning the keyboard

    Hey!

    I have a Satellite P20, which is strange. I have cleaned the keyboard (deleted, took apart and cleaned all the keys) but when I boot up to now (I have connected the keyboard) it will * beep beep * beep beep beep beep * on me (sounds like one of those things in the hospital). If I wait for some time, it ends by starts XP but then some keys (5%) did not respond (S and arrow down to name a few).

    I tried to start with the keyboard disconnected and that works like a charm.

    Then it is the keyboard that is defective? (I'd rather not buy a new one just to have the same problem) or is it keyboard connector or hurt (I have unplug and connected the keyboard several times)

    I am very grateful for any help or advice I can get.

    Best regards

    / Martin

    It is strange, but maybe the keyboard is defective, as you say.
    Or you don t have the keyboard connected to mainboad correctly. Check again.

    Maybe a key is always pushed and get the beeps. Select this check box.

  • How to set the keyboard Viewer in a language other than the main keyboard?

    is it possible to set the keyboard to the screen the viewer into another language (German) than the main (English) keyboard as an easy way to use the keyboard Viewer to make the German characters and umlauts while typing with the keyboard layout English on the main computer keyboard? Use the new Macbook with the latest OSX. Thanks for any advice.

    Visualizer keyboard can reflect only your current layout.

    But type German characters with the English keyboard layout is extremely easy.  Just hold down the key of the basic letter and select the version accentuated in the context menu that appears.  Or use the standard option key shortcuts

  • 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.

  • I get strange symbols when typing and the only way to get rid of them is to shut down my computer!

    Sometimes while typing, a bar appears above the letter, I type with a large number of strange symbols for this letter. The keyboard stop typing. The only way I found to get out, is to shut down my computer and restart it. My wife has the same problem on his computer. What are the causes and can disable this pen?

    When you press certain keys in the letter, a menu of accented letter versions (used in foreign languages) appears so you can choose a. To remove the menu, all you have to do is to continue typing. Product there not?

  • keyboard does not not when filling out the forms of web of wi - fi

    Hi all

    I have a very strange problem and I hope someone can help me to solve it.

    When I try to connect to a public wireless network (example: I'm currently staying in a hotel and connect to hotel WiFi in my room)-I have to fill out the mandatory wi - fi (username & password) to access the internet through the hotel wi-fi.

    My 5s iphone detects the wi - fi network and once I chose the particular network hotel wi-fi to join in setings, automatic logon forms just asking me to enter username/password hotel provided.

    When I try to enter the user name - my keyboard becomes TOTALLY INSENSIBLE! I can't fill my username information at all. The keyboard appears on screen - but nothing on the keyboard working!

    When I move to the password field - all right. The keyboard starts responding and I am able to fill in the password. The keyboard becomes normal.

    I've now faced this problem in 2 different hotels and a hospital - all these places gave me a name of user and password I need to fill in the login screen to use their wi - fi connection. I still have the same problem.

    I'm having this problem on iOS 9.1 and 9.2 (my wife's phone and my phone). We both use iphone 5s.

    Can someone pls!

    Hi bigbalooka,

    If the iPhone keyboard unresponsive or crashes

    • Make sure that you are running the latest iOS Version
      • Settings > general > software update
        • If you are up-to-date, you will see a message that says: "your software is up-to-date."

    If you're still having problems:

    • Force restart the iPhone:
      • Press and hold the sleep/wake button and the Home button for about 10 seconds, or until the Apple logo appears.

    If you still have problems (again):

    • Reset all the settings on your iPhone
      • Settings > General > reset > reset all settings and enter your access code if you are required.

    I hope I helped solve your problem today. If you need more assistance, feel free to ask
