[T520] broken keyboard

Hello

Today my keyboard started acting weird. My rush power button turns the screen 3 times and the right Alt is now "power button" (puts the computer to sleep in such a hurry, in turn it it held for more than 5 seconds, does not wake). This behavior is the same in Win7 (normal and safe mode), 12.04 Kubuntu and Ubuntu 10.04 live CD. AltGr is to function as button / stop before any OS is started. Other buttons seem to work well. What I had done before that happens is installed Kubuntu and keyboard wiped with wet paper (moist, not soggy). This keyboard is advertised as resistant to spills so some wet keys should not damage it. Another theory is that Kubuntu somehow messed something iside if this keyboard is programmable. This keyboard has already failed once a few moths ago when he began to place additional letters after a few keys but self repaired a few hours after.

In the Toolbox Lenovo think Vantage, there is the diagnostic tool to test the keyboard. It's the exit after pressing the power button / real stop:

Alt Gr
Left
(Press and hold)
Down
Right
Space
/
(Press and hold)
(Press and hold)
n
b

Not exactly what you would expect.

I got lost.

Laptop is back.
Keyboard has been replaced. No further details on the way in which and why, just "broken."

  • Broken keyboard key is covered by the warranty?

    Hello

    I bought Thinkpad T520 a month ago. Today, one of the areas that hold the key broken Z. The key is still usable but can be detached easily. I used the laptop on a desk only and I have not pressured the keys that could break them. It is a defect of the key and I wonder what are my options on the setting of this knowledge? It is covered by the warranty? Lenovo replace my keyboard? I can't afford to send him to the service for more than a few hours since this is my main computer and I need for all working days.

    Thanks in advance

    There is no reason for its failure unless the hammer, a brick or a bottle of whisky was launched on it. So YES would be the answer.

    Don't ask them if. Suffice it to say the broke / has failed and you need it fix/replace keyboard.

  • Compatibility of the broken keyboard Pavilion dv6

    Hello

    I have a keyboard broken on a:

    Laptop HP Pavilion dv6-6110ez (LS222EA)

    I checked the keyboard is faulty by testing virtually everything and then disconnected - manic BIOS, beep stops. In the contrary case, the PC boots, so it bascially functions and also perfectly fine.

    There are also a few messages in the forums with similar symptoms - false characters appearing, "auto-repetition", etc.. Seems to be a classic problem, but makes the PC unusable without an external keyboard.

    The replacement part is 640436-BG1 - Swiss layout (the original HP & Flextronics P/N is 634139-BG1).

    But this part is not available to the user of part of HP or through HP replacement parts shop, or at the local (Switzerland) offical HP parts supplier.

    The exact part is available from 3 Parties at an apparently inflated price, but not locally (--> customs issues!)

    I can get a similar piece (570228-111) from a local supplier at a price reasonable. They claim that the compatibility is a fairly wide range of HW dv6-6xxx and 7xxx dv6, dv6-6110sw dv6-6117eg, which seem to correspond to the models mentioned in the service and maintenance guide relevant dv6 and (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02842252.pdf).

    The local official HP supplier can also deliver this one but wouldn't listed no compatibility.

    Keyboards are certainly pretty standard and interchangeable enough individual within the same range of models (makes economic sense), if someone can give me some advice on what replacement keyboard would work in practice?

    Work P/N 570228-111?

    Thanks in advance.

    -Patrick

    Thanks for the tip, this is the cheapest around a good margin, but they offer only in the United Kingdom and I live there :-(

    He also says "Call for availability", hmmmmm...

    I think I'll just grit my teeth and pay the "part replacement premium" after all. At least the 'proper' Party will certainly work.

  • Repair of broken keyboard key...

    I purcharsed a 2000 HP Notebook PC of my college on December 18, 2012 book store. They offer me for the purchase of any security or anything like that, but today (29 January 2013) broke off one of the keys on the keyboard. Now I'm wondering if there is anything I can fix this. I know that the phone comes with one year warranty, and I would like to know if this kind of repair to be covered by this warranty. Or could it even be repaired? If so, how much will cost me there?

    Hello

  • X100e broken keyboard! Choose how much maintenance? Help!

    It is very unfortunate...

    After that I spilled water on my macbook and broke the keyboard, I bought a x100e as a replacement of emergency a week ago.

    then... I spilled water on my x100e again. =[

    now I think that the keyboard, as well as its logic board, are broken, and the keys of ', 'and'. ' key (I broke them in trying to solve the problem).

    I get an error 0210: stuck key message on the home screen each time I start the x100e.

    so I think I will solve this problem by myself, because it will take too long if I send my x100e at the gas station, and also to save some $$$

    However, when I try to buy the keyboard part for x100e on lenovo Web site, I met 2 different selection for the U.S. keyboard.

    A FRU is 45N2971, costs $67, it is 60Y9366, is $77.

    I couldn't find the difference between the two because there is no description on

    two of them.

    Can I both or one of them? anyone? Thank you very much!!

    Hi factorlin and welcome to the Lenovo user community!

    There is usually at least two manufacturers for every ThinkPad keyboard, and that's what represent the two references.

    Don't know why the difference in price of $10!

    If you want the exact keyboard, you have now, I suggest to remove to read the part number. The Manual of Maintenance of equipment and service videos describe how.

    I hope this helps!

  • Broken on laptop Satellite keyboard

    When I press the space bar a 4 will pop up.
    It is incredibly annoying.

    What is a virus or a broken keyboard? If you can please tell me how to fix this problem.

    Hi shaunbailey101,

    One thing is important: Satellite phone that you have exactly?

    At the moment it is not easy to say what causes this problem but you need to connect an external keyboard. If this works correctly, your internal keyboard is defective. In this case, you need a new because there is no unique key to exchange it.

    If you contact the authorized service provider, they can order a new keyboard for you. :)

  • Broken Halo 2 PC keyboard layout

    I just bought Halo 2 for the PC and the game refuses to allow me to re - assign keys.  For example, if I try to re - before assign to E, the game tells me: "that the key has already been attributed to another action.  If please erase this action and try again. "However, I can't delete the action.  The only actions what can I delete are secondary actions in the column furthest to the right (by pressing DELETE when action is selected, or X on my controller).

    In addition, enter the product key that came with my Halo 2 PC in the MS support site does not - he said only that there is a problem with the key, I confirmed and had another set of eyes to confirm, is the appropriate key.  The key worked when I installed and activated Halo 2 PC, it works simply on the support site I have achieved via the links in the Readme of Halo 2.

    If there is no solution for the configuration of the keyboard, I want a refund.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I tried everything I can think to delete the default keys without success and via google I found other reports the same problem.  There is simply no excuse to release a PC FPS with a broken keyboard layout.

    UPDATE: I managed to re - allocate almost all keys in simply re - assign to the other keys first instead of trying to delete everything first.  However, I can't reassign forward to E.  You try to set any key for E always results in the same message about it already be affected, even if E appears nowhere in the list of the key assignments.  A little makes the just useless.

  • The broken merger 7.0.0 keyboard for the disposition of the sg mapping

    Looks like the sg page layout keyboard mapping is broken with 7.0.0. ' < ' and ' > ' mapped to ' § ' and '°' and vis versa... Sorry too many bugs! Never had any problems during the upgrade before merger. But this time, everything is just terrible. Broken, broken keyboard suopprt USB support. Guess I have to go back to 6.0.4.

    Simple solution, just define a mapping manual in Fusion preferences > keys & mouse. Add the mapping for poorly mapped key for the profile that you use for your virtual machine. It seems to work well as a workaround for the moment

  • Satellite L500 - where can I get the clip of restraint for the keyboard?

    Hello!

    A few weeks back, I bought a L500/00U, brilliant.

    Only problem so far, last night one of the clips of restraint on the broken keyboard. It was the SHIFT key that originally broke out, but because I use a lot the SHIFT key, I swapped retiner clips with the key on the keyboard.

    Anyway, my question is, how do I acquire a new retainer clip, I really like to avoid to return the laptop to the store, only just got all my software after a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate RTM x 64.

    Thanks in advance.

    If the keyboard or else be replaced, why you think you lose something of the HARD drive?
    If technicians share the keyboard it has nothing to do with the OS preloaded with.
    Only the features will be tested and that s it.

    OS should not be installed again.
    Contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service in your country, explain the situation and they will help you in this regard.

  • Equium A110-240 need new replacement keyboard

    Hey.
    As the title says I have a portable satellite A110-240 with a broken keyboard. A few weeks about 1/3 of the keys stopped working at the same time. The error is probably in the material and I reinstalled the keyboard and put drivers just in case BIOS updated.

    The laptop is a few years old and its warranty has expired so some help.
    I tried to check each of the keys and by removing the keyboard to check for a bad connection. No luck.

    The rest of the laptop is functional and adapted to my needs very well, so I'm not really want to buy a new one right away, at least not before trying to fix the keyboard.

    Which, in my opinion, what I need is a new keyboard, but I can't find this exact keyboard on google.
    It is quite a few Toshiba keyboards on ebay, but none for my laptop.

    I'm guessing that other toshiba keyboards will work fine, as long as they have the same connector cable, but they would physically?

    Hi, you should be able to get a suitable keyboard. Visit the site and see if the reference number corresponding to your an existing one.

  • C40 - 30 - reprogram another keyboard?

    Hello

    I have a C40-30 and the keyboard is terrible, after a few months, some of the letters have disappeared from some keys (not that it matters but aesthetically, it's not nice to see) and another the little plastic used as 'feet' for the broken keyboard. In addition, this keyboard is not always catch the space when you press it (my wife has the same computer, the same keyboard, same problem with space and disappearing letters).

    Therefore, we bought a keyboard from another brand (Logitech).

    But while there is no additional buttons to + or - sound or mute it and stuff like that.

    Is it possible to program a keyboard, for example some F keys to serve its + or - mute, etc. ?

    Second question: because I use Lenovo no mouse and keyboard, it is a good idea to remove the keyboard USB of Lenovo Bella997 program driver or is it still in use any keyboard is?

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Hello again,

    I found a solution, because it is not a multimedia keyboard, I just had to install a free software (Autohotkey) and reprogram some key combinations.

    So no need to answer this question
