TouchPad lock key does not work anymore on Dell XPS L401X

Hi everyone,
On my Dell XPS L401X laptop, there is a key to lock/unlock the touchpad. It used to work fine on Windows and on new fresh install ArchLinux, but now it does not work anymore. If I remember correctly, I did not change, configure any shortcut so far.
Any hint to fix this problem?
Many thanks!
Tinh

Try mapping the button as shown here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/To … are_Toggle
I'm sorry i can't help more.

  • Enter key does not work anymore in address bar after FF update

    After the update the Enter key does not work anymore. Neither when I type the url directly, nor when I select it from the history.
    In short FF has become unusable. Now I need to install and use a less crappy browser. Extremely sloppy, amateuristic update.

    see if this is helpful : go to Tool > Options > Advanced > General tab > Browsing and '''Uncheck''': "Use hardware acceleration when available" .

  • Caps lock key does not work...

    my caps lock key was working perfectly up until 10-15 minutes ago.
    when i press my caps lock key, the little light on the key does not turn on and all of my letters remain in lowercase.
    i thought perhaps something was stuck underneath the key, but when i took the key off - nothing was there. i placed it back on and still the caps lock key does not work.
    does anyone have any ideas as to why the problem could be and how to fix it?

    Finally found something that worked for me. See this thread and look for the post about removing the Hitoolbox plist files.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10765093&#10765093
    I removed all of them. (Had multiples) Also make sure you empty the trash afterwards.
    Then restart.
    Then I used the modifier key trick in this thread. Turned off the caps lock key. Then restart.
    Then use the modifier key trick and turn the caps lock key back on. Test to see if your lights come back on for the caps lock key.
    If so, next time you restart it should still work. Finally. This thing has been dogging me for a long time.

  • My iPad lock button does not work anymore

    Well I was in math and class finished so I decided to lock my iPad. I kept pressing the button but my device just wouldn't lock. Is there a problem with the inside of my iPad or can I just do some sort of trick to get it working again.
    P.S. please answer quickly as I am in school with no charger and I don't want to lose my battery.

    The function of the former "orientation lock" has been changed to a "silent" switch which silences system sounds like notifications, alerts, key presses, etc.
    The "rotation lock" function has been moved to the "Recent Apps Tray" which is accessed by double-clicking the home button and swiping to the right.

  • The caps lock and p key does not work

    All of a sudden my "p" key and "caps Lock" key are not working. tried pram and smc resets but does not help. Want to know if it is a hard ware or a software issue. Im using a a MAC Book Pro that i bought ony 15 days back

    First assumption: its faulty wiring, judging by this being your first post, im guessing its a new mac? Id call apple or replace it at the store you got it from if you didnt buy through online or applestore.

  • Mac os 10.4.10 software update problem -- my mac does not work anymore :(

    hello!
    i have a powerbook G4- PPC. just today, i did a software update of my OS to 10.4.10 (it was the available update version according to the automatic uptae) and during the final stage of the installation, it says "a problem was encountered...installation package is moved to trash"
    when i browsed my mac, my apps does not work anymore!!! they just bounce from the dock when i clicked it but it won't open any window. i emptied the trash and restarted my mac but sadly, it just boot but won't continue to the log in part, only in the silver window with the apple logo and mac os x tiger... and the mouse just turns into the color wheel. i waited for 30 mins and nothing happened.
    i don't have a startup disc because the mac is a gift and it was long time ago. is ther a software i can use to fix or revert the changes of the unsuccessful OS update? why is there always a problem when i do OS update? isn't apple software stable?
    My mac problems' driving me crazy!!!

    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695

    Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
    Please try:
    Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.

  • Standard shortcut for "flow" does not work anymore

    Hi there :-)
    The standard shortcut for setting the flow of a brush or stamp does not work anymore. When using shift + 0-9 nothing happens. It works correctly for the opacity when I use 0-9.
    When I turn on the airbrush-mode it's not switching the commands entirely... Flow is still not settable with 0-9 but opacity cannot be set either by shift + 0-9.
    I can access the opacity by hitting "enter" and then use the tab to switch to the flow but that's not what I wanna do.
    Can anyone help my to find out what happened to These commands? The Shift-keys work fine btw... I'm using them for other commands (in and outside of PS)  .
    If anyone knows how to change these standard hotkeys let me know as well.
    Thnx, Michelle

  • Double escaping suddenly does not work anymore.

    Hello,
    We have WCF Data Service that is configured to use
    double escaping according to this article
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/peter_qian/archive/2010/05/25/using-wcf-data-service-with-restricted-characrters-as-keys.aspx
    During a long time (a year or more) this solution worked well for us. And suddenly, a week ago, we found that on some our services (in cloud, in out of cloud)
    double escaping does not work anymore.
    For example, request to our service may looks like
    http://service-host/odata-service/ContentTreeNodes('ID-%257BFEE06CEE-F667-45A2-9014-394F4B7CD3B0%257D')/
    In sample above we have ID that without double escaping looks like ID-{FEE06CEE-F667-45A2-9014-394F4B7CD3B0}
    But when our service processes this request ID becomes like ID-%7BFEE06CEE-F667-45A2-9014-394F4B7CD3B0%7D.
    And that is means that .NET (WCF Data Services) infrastructure removes only single escaping and forget (ignore) to remove second one.
    We have an assumption that issue probably maybe caused by some Windows security update. Because on some PCs it works well.
    Does anybody have similar issues?

    Hi,
    I suppose you tried to uninstall this patch from Azure VM. If so then yes, it can not be done. Seems it prohibited by MS or at least I do not have answer how to do it.
    At the same time I had no such problems with out of cloud PCs.
    BWT, we recently found that we do not require double escaping anymore in our service, because single escaping now works well for us. Looks like MS fixed an issue regarding # symbol in URL path. Now if URL has # in some URL path (for example in entity ID),
    then single escaped # works well.

  • Shift-Command-R does not work anymore

    Hello all,
    I've noticed that the shortcut shift-command-r does not work anymore on my macbook pro. I used it for the calendar to refresh all calendars, and its also handy to open the reader in safari 5.
    When I open the keyboard viewer from the language and text menu I can see it when I press shift, then command but when I press "R" nothing changes, only shift+command stay highlighted. Other letters do work, so its a bit strange.
    Anyone know a solution for this?
    Thank you in advance

    Nope thats not the problem, the listening key is Esc. It is as if the keyboard does not register it when the R is pressed in combination with the shift and the command together. As I said, the keyboard viewer shows every keystroke except the shift-command-r combi.

  • Message shortcut key does not work in Safari

    Hi there,
    I've a shortcut key specified for sending links through Message app while I'm in Safari. (Command + Ctrl + M).
    It appears in the system preferences and I can even see the shortcut symbol in Safari but it simply doesn't work. I has worked randomly for sometime but does not work anymore. (Changing the keyboard combination hasn't helped either)
    Any idea ?

    Hi,
    Try shutting down the iMac. Disconnect the keyboard. Wait about 5 minutes. Reconnect the keyboard and restart the iMac. See if the Return key works now.
    If not, since it's so new, take the keyboard back for a replacement.

  • Satellite U400 - the webcam does not work anymore

    Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
    About a year ago I purchased a laptop
    TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
    with s.o. WinVista 32bit and with integrated webcam chicony etc. ....
    For a year, everything worked correctly, but for some days now, the webcam does not work anymore.
    As soon as I try to open it, a message of management software cam that says "Webcam driver open fail, please restart or computer room"
    I tried to do it all: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam ....! updated bios notebook ....! useless!
    the strange thing .. well that going into device manager ... the webcam is not there ....! but if the launch seems to open just then check quell caz ... Warning!!
    Gan you help me?
    Graziee

    Are you familiar and comfortable with LINUX LIVE bootable discs to load an alternative operating system with unobtrusive but extensive Toshiba device support so you can determine if your webcam hardware is ruined or if the problem is software and possibly solved reinstalling Windows ?
    At this point, you're pondering less time consuming but more expensive choices such as buying another web cam, or another computer and you might be temporarily borrowing someone else's web cam / using a non preferred spare web cam that isn't optimal for your needs.
    Continuously downloading software, registry cleaners, and repeatedly reinstalling drivers will eventually ruin your Windows installation and consume more time than you've wasted so far and still doesn't guarantee to fix your malfunction.

  • TV does not work anymore on Qosmio G10

    Good morning,
    TV does not work anymore, may be due to an update. It has been working OK before.
    When selecting TV option 'TV direct ' with MCE menu, I get the following error message: "necessary files for video display are not installed or do not work properly, restart MCE or the computer". Restarting MCE and / or G10 does not solve the problem.
    -Intervideo WinDVD creator is installed.
    -TV PCI tuner seems to work properly (as per hardware status)
    Which files can be missing? What needs to be done?
    Any help, suggestions, well appreciated.
    Thank you to anyone answering this message.

    Hello Luciano
    Like you know on this way it is not easy to give you precise answer because we dont know what did you done exactly with your Qosmio.
    Please try to use System restore tool at first and roll back the operating system to earlier time. Maybe this will help you and the MCE configuration will be as before.
