Usb keyboard malfunction
Hello. Recently, our hp USB keyboard has stopped working. I tried several strategies to address them, but nothing worked. The keyboard option is also not present anywhere on the control panel. Any advice? Thank you!
Keyboards, as anything with moving parts can wear out more. You can buy USB keyboard for less than $10, this is what I would do. I bought one a few weeks ago for $8 and it works fine.
Good luck.

My wife comes to claim that the laptop works with a USB keboard, jump around, but the actual laptop keyboard is defective. I have re-installed Windows Vista with data backup and it has not fixed the problem.

The ability to rotate the screen image is a characteristic of your video
card, to help work with instructors who turn to the portrait
orientation. Almost certainly you accidentally press on Ctrl-Alt, and
an arrow key.

No!
I can't be sure, but very likely problem is not the keyboard

Mounting USB keyboard freezes internal keyboard and trackpad
Hello world
Spent an hour looking for a solution to this so I hope this isn't a problem of repetition. I am using a wired USB keyboard (DYNEX model No.: DX-WKBDSL) with my MBP end 2011, but whenever I have set and keyboard Setup Assistant appears my internal trackpad immediately stops responding and my internal keyboard sounds fair to me if I tap on a button. This keeps me from hitting continue setting. If I unplug the USB keyboard, I immediately regain control of my internal input devices. Disks hard USB and flash drives cause no problems. I need to be able to use my usb full keyboard, so I have a 10 key. Can someone help me?
I noticed the guys like the thing EtreCheck here so I just ran on my machine (obviously without my keyboard usb attached since that would freeze everything). I hope that helps!

Install OSX 10.11.4 I do cleaning but R command will not work. With the help of USB keyboard so not wifi issues to to worry. Help?
Would you like to share why you must do a clean install?
You can try the recovery of the internet (which will work if your older model has been updated to enable of): hold command + Option + R until you see a progress bar (take a while). It will connect you to the Apple servers. When you see the utility window, choose disk utility to erase your disk and when you're done, choose to reinstall OS X.
Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support
PS: Correction: I think not yours can be updated; in this case, you will need the original installation disks to wipe the drive and reinstall.

Satellite A110-231; USB keyboard "drops" characters
The characters are removed at the BIOS level and when the OS (XP Prof. SP 2) has been loaded. Running BIOS version 1.6.2.9.
Any ideas?
Richard Bradshaw
Hello dickie1967,
Make sure that Windows did recognize your external device properly:
Open the Device Manager and look for, if you have a double aspect of the USB keyboard. If you do, please remove the item that has a circular yellow sign with an exclamation point.
Kind regards

USB keyboard will not type certain keys
New USB keyboard used with the (retina, end of 2015) iMac running OS X El Capitan. Some of the keys are dead. Have reset the PRAM: issue is not resolved. Have you tried the keyboard on a MacBook Air: problem does not disappear. Have checked the keyboard settings (input methods, etc.). Nothing abnormal. Any suggestions?

After to start the PC with keyboard eneramx connected the qosmio has not loaded windows vista Ultimate edition and the inside wheels have been activated.
Never happened before. I doubted the enermaxReconnected to the position of the qosmio USB, there on the back not granted to start-up of turbines problems
As the enermax, that he has never blocked the startup of the operating system and to activate turbines also have plugged into the same USB port to which priority was connected a keyboard?Tank you
Hi mate
Sorry, but you message I am really hard to understand
What I understand is that you connected an external keyboard on the Qosmio and now the laptop will not boot properly. Is this good?What to say; Maybe you disable USB legacy mode in the BIOS.
Please check this!

Why my USB keyboard did stop working?
Can some tell me why my USB keyboard stopped working after I upgraded my mac OS X EL Capitan 10.11.4?
Seems that Apple had broken the old apple keyboard wired usb on OS X 10.11.4. New Apple wireless keyboard worked fine.
Was not working at boot time and didn't work with windows bootcamp and did not work when started from the recovery partition, so it must be a problem with boot loader.
Reseting EPRAM and SMC has failed.
Time Machine restore to old 10.11.3, 10.11 install USB appears to only way to solve the problem.
With old 10.11 usb install, because the keyboard did not work at boot time and restoring from Time Machine backup starting 10.11.4 recovery partition broke my fusion disk partition tables. I had to manually destroy disc fusion and remove partitions on the hard drive and ssd of command-line diskutil and create new logical volume of fusion in the car and after that he restore backup from Time Machine.
Very well of the keyboard now work but lost 1 day and Windows 10/bootcamp partition in the process.
I have iMac 27 "5 k end of 2015, but I like to use wired keyboard numpad because.

HP Compaq DC7900 SFF - no support BIOS for USB keyboard/mouse
I recently bought a lease out vintage 2009 DC7900-Windows 7 Home Premium running. It has connectors from the motherboard and BIOS support for a PS2 Keyboard and mouse. There also card mother support for USB but apparently BIOS does not support a USB keyboard and a mouse. Y at - it a BIOS update that adds support for USB keyboard and a mouse?
Thank you
Well, I found what seems to be the problem. My USB keyboard and mouse are connected to a KVM switch that in turn connects to the HP PC. The KVM cable provides keyboard and mouse via a simple USB connection. I have connected a second USB keyboard directly to another USB port, and as you say, the BIOS it supported. I then connected the USB keyboard and mouse for a simple USB hub and then to the HP PC, and BIOS does not recognize the keyboard once more. It would seem that the problem is that the BIOS of the PC HP does not support keyboard behind a USB hub connectivity. I have no detailed knowledge of USB connectivity but could guess that there must be a difference Protocol when I hub is in the Middle – obviously the PC must focus on a specific device behind the hub.
In the end, I think I'm stuck just keep a separate keyboard (PS/2 or USB) around for those times when I need to communicate to the BIOS.
I have another PC of the same vintage - a custom platform - and it handles the keyboard behind the hub very well. I wonder if all new PC BIOS handle this.
Thanks again for your responses - very useful.

When you use Roland FC300 footswitch to control transport LOGIC, all midi keyboard USB (UMA25s) notes do not reach the logic.
They are visible using MIDI Monitor s/w so reach the OS X - but do not make SENSE.
I tried the function of the environment of the logic and the double check OS X Midi Setup but no difference statistically.
I would appreciate any help on how to proceed.
Thank you
Paddy
I do not understand your post. Your use the FC300 to control logic - how is it connected? Is it plugged into the keyboard via middle or did you connect to logic directly via a midi interface? (sense are the keyboard and the FC300 connected independently.
When you say midi notes reached illogical (those transmitted by the FC300 or those via the USB keyboard do you mean?).
First thing to do is to circumvent the control surfaces to exclude...
Then, the control screen the custom value and see if data midi reached logical... If his hitting the midi monitor 99.9% sure it is hitting logic.

Impossible to get my USB keyboard to wake up sleep NB100 - (Windows 7)
I use a monitor, USB wireless mouse and a wired keyboard USB with my NB100.
My keyboard has a power button and it is configured to put the computer in mode standby when you press on, which works very well. My problem is that the only way I can wake up the computer is to press a key on the keyboard built-in the NB100, pressing anything on my USB keyboard does nothing.
I went into the Device Manager and unchecked "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" and also turned on in the BIOS, but it still doesn't work.
I would really like to get this sorted out I have the NB100 tucked out of sight and it is a bit of a pain to have to dig, open the cover and press the space bar, whenever I want to wake up the computer :-(
Any ideas anyone?

There is no connection to access the bios with a standard PS/2 keyboard and the USB driver does not load in time to access the bios with a combination of keys on the keyboard. I need to check the version of the BIOS and check the settings of hardware for my readers who are accessible via the BIOS. If I can't enter the appropriate key, how to enter the BIOS? Seems to be a common problem, since I see issues with some answers all over the internet. I even looked for a possible 'hidden' ps/2 connection in the case, but not joy.
Have you tried another kbd? I recently saw a poster that is having this problem, & an another usb kbd did the trick for him. FWIW, I have a usb keyboard and mouse, and mine is trying to get into the BIOS.

Mac pro, USB keyboard not recognized at startup
my mac pro (trash) is a wonderful device. Lately, however, it does not recognize a keyboard plugged in USB to start.
I am at a loss to explain it. I need help. Advice, anecdotes, guess wild welcome.
my setup is like this:
CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
Monitor 27 "Apple (hub)
Extended keyboard Apple USB
USB hub (USB2, apparently, that was not what I paid for)
Wacom Tablet
Logitec mouse (no driver installed, Logitech *, but the mouse is great he is 15 years old)
charger for Iphone
beats headphones cable
iMic USB audio
The question seems to have started just after I took my computer to the site, when that happens, I use a keyboard and bluetooth mouse. I immediately told my mac to forget the keyboard and the mouse after bringing it back to the House. didn't let it go, there is no moments where he had 'speed' of any kind. Always moves in a bag built to waterfield.

Based on my experience, your extended keyboard usb from Apple is the oldest plastic or the most recent aluminium? Based on which you have a branch above Apple usb extension cable. Anyway look at the end of the cable usb and it is most likely has that match unusual for her, this little triangle. It can fit on the Mac Pro USB, but can be a little bit loose as an adjustment. If you use a newer Apple usb extension on the older plastic Apple usb keyboard, this isn't a good fit. If you use the old extension of usb Apple on the most recent alum Apple keyboard, which is not a good fit.
So low line trying to look at the adjustment of the end of the usb in the Mac Pro or hub or ver, you connect to. I got this problem which caused two problems: I was using the older usb Apple with the new Apple alum keyboard extension cable.
1. frequently the keyboard did not react, looked dead
2 - beta install for starting seeds would start on the hard drive to complete the installation.
Given that I have "corrected" the usb extension appropriate keyboard usb Apple alum both problems went away.
