Wired Apple keyboard problems

Hello

Today, I wiped my Wired Apple keyboard with a damp cloth to clean it up, he then stopped working very shortly after that, I can't even a clear lock now. The strange thing is, if I plug in a USB key on the keyboard, my Mac recognizes the USB but I still can't type or lock shows a light.

I tried the keyboard on other systems with no joy, everything the world has something to suggest that maybe kick in life?

I currently next to a fan to "dry" even if I can't see any trace of moisture or anything.

PS. I know it's my fault to clean with a damp cloth it please not saying me

Turn the keyboard on a clean, dry towel and let it remain unplugged for about 24 hours.

the fan can actually send liquid deeper into the appliance, causing additional damage.

If the keyboard still doesn't work not probably have damaged you the keyboard

the USB connection is separate is not unusual that it works and the keys don't.

  • How (re) - add Apple keyboard to Bootcamp (Windows 7)

    Hello, I've been running bootcamp windows 7 on iMac no problem for two years.  It was wired apple keyboard (w / numeric keypad).  Today it suddenly stopped working.  It does not show as one of the screen "devices."  I plugged on a MacBook, work very well.  so the problem doesn't seem to be the keyboard itself.  All devices plugged into USB work fine, it's not the USB ports.  Also tried to add the wireless keyboard that came with the iMac does not recognize.  Can anyone help?  Thank you.

    Hey there cl6120,

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

    Let's take a moment and get the keyboard to work again, your Windows partition. I can imagine the challenge of computing without it! To ensure that your information is protected, it is always better to create a backup of the entire system. Find the steps detailed here:

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac

    Go ahead, this is an incredible resource that directs you to a resolution:

    Use your Windows with Boot Camp Apple keyboard

    More precisely...

    If your keyboard does not work

    When you use Bootcamp to install Windows on your Mac, it installs the Windows support software (drivers) that allow you to use the features of the Apple keyboards in Windows. If your keyboard works start from your Mac OS X but not of Windows, try to reinstall the Windows support software from the Boot Camp Assistant.

    See you soon!

  • Wireless Apple keyboard - Apple public support cannot answer on this issue

    When my apple wireless keyboard is connected directly to the USB port does not work. If I change and plug it into another USB port still nothing happen.

    If I plug this same keyboard (mine) into any other computer it market and also if I plug another wired apple keyboard on my computer it works.

    If it's so strange. I also reinstall OSX 10.11.4, also already RAM reset, also went to the apple service, even history - my apple wireless keyboard does not not on my computer. But the only way it works... If I have some of this hub of Chinas USB 1.0 cheep plug on my MacBook Pro and my apple keyboard in the hub... then works.

    So, some of you have the solution to this problem?

    And also have to say that, if the keyboard is directly plug it into my mac via USB in system information, I do not see (Yes, I update list). I see my keyboard in the USB list only if it is connected to this hub usb 1.0 Piou Chinas.

    Official Service support Apple cannot help me because they say: (official) keyboard works and it is under warranty, we cannot change it - and they also agree with this, as my apple keyboard does not work on Mac may.

    :/ so strange

    What did Apple Support here for troubleshooting?   Who will save us he's repeating what was already tried and tested already.

    If you have a USB keyboard is not working.    If you connect the keyboard, it does not.   If you connect to a different USB port on the same Mac, the keyboard still does not.

    The problematic USB keyboard works when connected on the computer of another and quite different?

    When dealing with flaky USB devices, remove all the hubs, all disks, all devices and absolutely everything that is connected to the USB port on the Mac, with the exception of the device tested.  No hubs, no disc, nothing.   In this case, just the keyboard cable must be connected to the USB port on the Mac.  Restart in Safe Mode (restart should reset the USB port, and the use of Safe Mode disables most of the modules) and check if this keyboard configuration works.

  • iPad Pro, Apple keyboard, fill automatic password?

    Hi all

    Beautiful new iPad pro here with Apple keyboard.  But in Safari - how the AutoFill options password with the external keyboard?

    I searched forever!

    Thank you!

    So I found workaround to get this working. The problem seems to be that the Autopassword/cut/paste/correction automatic bar becomes hidden on the software keyboard by default when you first use the Smart keyboard. To solve the problem and make the bar appear:

    1. go to a site or a domain on a site where the software keyboard would normally appear.

    2. unplug the smart keyboard.

    3. you will notice the bar is reduced to the minimum - unminimze it looks as you expect the software keyboard to look like.

    4. reconnect the Smart keyboard in iPad and you should see the keyboard disappears, but the bar remains as the screenshot below shows.

    Hope this helps... is not ideal, because this should be the default, but this seems to be a reasonable solution.

  • Portege R830 - Trackpad/keyboard problem

    HI - hope someone can help because I have only a few strands of hair left out!

    In the last two weeks, a problem has developed with the trackpad - and maybe my keyboard. Here are some of the symptoms

    1. the cursor on the screen suddenly freezes. If I leave the laptop and work back, and it's not.

    2. If I tap on the keyboard (can simply press the keys or I could be typing in a document) and the cursor may freeze again. During this event the little 'mouse/trackpad' power icon flashes briefly on the screen. If I hit another key (literally anywhere on the keyboard) a number of times (not the model number) the icon can cycle and the slider moves and then freeze again.

    It's as if each key on the keyboard is somehow the role of the FnF9 key.

    Unfortunately I took the laptop on a business trip recently and this time after initialization the laptop - the cursor was frozen and no amount of pressure button thoughtful or random didn't get going. It is a working battery. That scared the hell out of me.

    If I plug in a USB keyboard and mouse and then pressing the keys on this keyboard does not cause the cursor to freeze. But he can do anyway - as described in 1. above.

    The F9 key will unlock the cursor (I guess re - turn on the trackpad) - but it won't be long before cycle back again.

    I did not drop the phone. There is nothing physically wrong with her. The battery holds its charge and it starts successfully. I did no change of material during the month.

    The only button on the keyboard that is not working is the mouse/trackpad power button just above the space bar. It feels a bit depressed - but I think that is how it has always been. Juggle it makes no difference to this bizarre and erratic behavior. But perhaps this is relevant.

    When I tried.

    Reinstall the trackpad driver (Synaptics).

    Reinstall the PVAT (value package).

    I even tried to re-imaging of HARD drive to one of these days - and the other just after that I bought the laptop in 2012. Which should have solved if it was a software/driver problem - but it didn't.

    One thing I did not, is venturing into the BIOS. Maybe there is something in them?

    In Device Manager that everything is listed - no warning at all. There seems to be be no IRQ conflict.

    This could be a hardware problem? I read that the keyboards on R830 are quite likely to damage/stoppage of work. A the United Kingdom popular auction site has sellers who claim to have sold more than 40! That's a lot of R830s who have had new keyboards.

    I also know that a replacement is a pain, so I hope that's not it.

    Someone at - it suggestions? It makes me crazy.

    I google extensively and can't come up with anything either. There are the usual raft of people trying to find how to activate the trackpad or disable - but none seem to be struggling with the laptop made for them.

    Help!

    Hello

    According to the description of your problem, it seems that the touchpad is disabled automatically.
    As you have already mentioned, the touchpad can be enabled and disabled by using the FN + F9 key combination function

    Since you have also some keyboard problems, my theory is that there is a problem of keyboard that may be responsible for the touchpad ON / OFF question.

    What do you think of this theory?

    I put t think there is a software problem because as you already reset the system to the point in time at the beginning (factory settings?). This is why I think that the conflict of software cannot be the reason for this.

  • Satellite Pro C50 keyboard problems - A - 1 L 6

    Hello

    I just bought this new Satellite Pro.

    I have installed all the drivers and updated the bios to the latest version, but I still have the same problem: when I write, many times my keyboard writes double letters (for example, all ten words written keyboard a letter double, as "keybboard").

    I tried also to change the properties of the keypad on the control panel of Windows 8, but nothing has changed.

    I called support, but they just told me that I have to bring my laptop in a helpdesk: but I need my new computer to work, and I wouldn't be happy to lose at least 4 weeks!

    And, support told me that, if the laptop has no hardware problem, I would have to pay for assistance...
    .
    So, this is my first experience and unlucy in the world of Toshiba...
    Is there someone who can give me some advice to solve this problem?
    It may be a problem running on the new laptops, and someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you very much!

    Hi guys,.

    As far as I know that these similar keyboard problems in the past could be resolved by the BIOS updated.

    In the case where the external USB keyboard would work correctly, this issue isn't associated with BIOS or keyboard controller but probably his keyboard fault internal.

  • On Satellite L750D keyboard problem

    L750D keyboard problems

    Hi some of the keys on my L750D don't work correctly for example
    The R key works fine in word format, BUT on a page web, it removes what I typed above
    The SHIFT key in MS word deletes a line on the web pages need you out of the box, in which you type
    Key 4 above the alpha keys is stuck and only appears as the sign $
    Enter the key 4 on the left is fine
    The caps lock light doesn't turn on but works fine

    Everything else seems fine,
    Because the R key work different in different applications I m thinking that it s not a problem of keyboard more in the settings (I did a restore without help)
    Please help is it possible to reset the keyboard to its original settings?

    I can only imagine that you can try to fix this BIOS update. Have you checked on the Toshiba support page if the newer BIOS version is available?

  • Portege M600: keyboard problem

    Hello

    My M600 just got a little problem (I hope) today.

    The 'x 'key' doesn't quite work. I have to press very hard to show the letter 'x '. It seems that the upper-left hand corner of this key is stuck, so he bends to the bottom right when I press on it. How can I solve this problem?

    I am located in Glasgow (G4 0JQ) and do not know if there are any office of maintenance here, but just know the nationalwide Service Pick-Up & return for laptops Web site. However, I prefer to deal face to face with the engineer in a few minutes, because I guess this isn't a big deal, isn't it?

    Thank you very much

    Hi Ting

    What to say? You know that the best solution is ASP and finally change the keyboard. I really don't think you can fix it alone.

    I recommend you check out http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP. You will see where is the nearest ASP. Make a call and see what they say on keyboard problem.
