XPS 13 9350 informed retro keyboard does not...

I just got my new XPS 13 9350 and the backlit keyboard has never worked... the only light I see is the caps lock...

I have no idea if it's a hardware problem or just a driver problem...

I tried the BIOS setting, but nothing has changed. And the Windows Mobility Center did not show something on the keyboard backlight...

Morning - Interestingly, our XPS 13 9350 a F10 as the switch for backlight, not F6 as shown above. (It is perhaps specific UK or something?)

Anyway, just thought I would mention it.

See you soon,.

    Hi BCfromKY,

    To test the response of the keys on the keyboard, use the Microsoft keyboard Diagnostics (MS Key), a utility program that is included with the Microsoft IntelliType software. To use MS Key, follow these steps.

    Note the MS key utility is only supplied with the version of the Microsoft IntelliType 1.1 and later versions. If you do not have Microsoft IntelliType installed, you can visit the following Microsoft Web site to install this software:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=MK (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=MK)

    Start Microsoft Keyboard Diagnostics. To do this, use one of the following methods:

    a. Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories and then click Run.

    (b) in the Open box, type mskey and then click OK.

  • Dell Inspiron 14R 5420 - new keyboard does not

    Hello

    A key on the keyboard of my laptop did not work. I checked that it was a problem on the keyboard, so I bought a new. I removed my keyboard before, so I thought that it wasn't a problem. So I installed a new one, everything is ok. Then I turned off my laptop and saw that the keyboard has been aligned, so I moved it a little more. Now both new and old keyboard does not work. The connector looks fine, but I am not a technician. I tried reinstalling the driver, but they don't always work.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you for you time.

    Hi Edivar_f

    Please write to us.

    As the old and the new keyboards do not work, looks that the port on the motherboard has gone bad.

    Just to doublecheck you can try an external USB keyboard and check how his work.

    Key ESC Office keyboard does not work on desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 x

    Now, it's a boring, which several other users have reported under different threads. Because I couldn't find a post with quite similar symptoms, I made my own topic.

    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 x on an old one (Intel Quad-Core, 4 GB RAM, 524 GB HDD - in case, for reasons unknown to me, someone needs to know it...) , DellXPS system. Not more than a few weeks ago my home button keyboard unresponsive on this system.

    I did a lot of troubleshooting, but these measures have been carried out:
    * Tested keyboard on the other system, touch ESC WORKS on the other system
    * Reinstalled keyboard and USB drivers on the XPS system, ESC key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
    * Connected to a never-before-used USB keyboard, ESC key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
    * Opened and cleaned the keyboard, tested, Escape key WORKS, Don't DO NOT WORK on the XPS system
    * Tested in various applications: Desktop (Esc will close the start menu), Photoshop, Vegas, Notepad, games full screen OpenGL,Escape key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
    * Google for possible solutions, none found...

    Note: Highlights show where the ESC key does not work. I am troubled by the XPS system.

    In case you missed it my list of troubleshooting steps, the ESC key works on another computer of Windows 7 system.

    I have to still garble my self through the registry in the hope that someone might have an idea of the steps to follow before I lose a day to see the things that I honestly know squat. Please help if you can; What could be the issue/common application that separates this key in the Windows world and how could I solve this problem?

    Thank you in advance!

    For reference,.
    No major changes have been made since the keyboard unresponsive with the exception of:
    Updates to FireFox (including modules Ad-Block Plus, NoScript, which have also been updated).
    Windows Update
    A 10.x MB World of Warcraft patch/update on a keyboard AFTER week unresponsive

    Already installed the patches StarCraft II and World of Warcraft, which none touched my keyboard to my knowledge. I finished almost all of StarCraft II and had no problems...

    I know it's a bit old, but I was living the question myself.  Thought I had found the problem and it was fixed but then it happened again.  Came to find out (by closing a program and test the ESC key) it's because Photoshop.

    With the help of Photoshop, which could match the case you mention.  Not only that but I did a search ('ESC' does not not Photoshop) and stumbled on some answers/solutions workaround for it.  One is to use SHIFT + ESC ESC does not work.

    Hope this helps someone.  I fell it using my original research ("Windows 7" BSE "ESC" keyboard does not) and know that others are likely to see.  If you have not already learn the cause, in the year + since your original message, then voila.

  • How is it, my original keyboard does not work on my desktop, but works on my laptop? And my keyboard works for both laptop and desktop?

    Hello

    I have a desktop computer Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with an ASUS M4A87TD EVO motherboard. Recently, I have a problem with my Wired Saitek Eclipse PZ30AU keyboard: when I type, the typical button does not appear on the screen. In other words, the keys are unresponsive. The keyboard is turned on, if the office is enabled/disabled. Even if, at the time, while he was working, the light is always disabled whenever the office is off. I don't know why it is informed, even if the office is off.

    My wired mouse usb works fine. I even tried my USB adapter for wireless network in two USB ports, and I still have the signal, so I guess it works very well too. The on-screen keyboard works.
    However, I tried to connect the keyboard desktop on my laptop and for some reason, what works. I also tried to use a different keyboard on my desk, and it actually works.
    I downloaded the chipset, the driver M4A87TD EVO BIOS 2001 driver and a driver of NEC Electronics Corporation USB 3.0 controller. But first, I had to install the Akamai NetSession Interface. After that I downloaded all three files, I installed the chipset driver and USB driver in uncompressing them, by clicking on each file, by clicking on Setup. For some reason, the BIO 2001 pilot had only a ROM file, so I just deleted total. After installing and restarting the computer, the keyboard does not.
    I want to emphasize that, before even manually, download the drivers, I tried using WIndows Update to install all important and recommended updates. After the computer restarts, the guarded keyboard lights flashing on and outside.
    So, I ask two things:
    1.) how does my original keyboard does not work on my desktop, but works on my laptop? And my keyboard works for both laptop and desktop?
    2.) can I keep I have installed the drivers or uninstall them?
    Thank you.

    We will reinstall the internal keyboard drivers and check.

    a. click Start, type Control Panel in the search box, press enter, click System, click Device Manager, click on keyboard.
    b. you should find the internal keyboard part as well as any external keyboard used.
    c. right-click on the keyboard integrated in the list, click on uninstall.
    d. unplug the external keyboard.
    e. restart the computer and check if the keyboard internal works.

    My keyboard and touch pad does not work on my laptop, I bought it in the course of this last summer and something is already wrong. I never hit immediately, he fell or something of this nature. Just a day when I came home from class nothing has worked. Fortunately, it's a touch screen so I can still use it.

    The problem is that the Standard PS/2 keyboard does not work properly. I tried to uninstall several times and then put it back later with nothing doesn't.

    Another thing that is interesting is that my keyboard is not quite dead, there are two functions that I can still run 1) I can activate and deactivate the backlight on the keyboard and 2) I turn adjusts the brightness of the total screen. But nothing else works.
