200n Keyboard - Caps Lock inverted = no numbers + all files highlighted

Factory o/s Vista Home + recovery CD
Faults occurred sometime after installing wireless printer. Computer left unattended. Son heard lots of beeping.
Caps lock worked but text was inverted which also resulted in no numbers. Selecting a file from a list resulted in all files above being selected.
Many things tried, restored to previous point, keyboard checked with MS diagnostic tool OK. Eventually keyboard stopped working (same with external USB keyboard) and it was impossible to restore using Recovery disc.
Paid to have system restored to Factory settings.
Memory and HDD checked and refitted. On final update, no 20 of 27 - bleeping and small Filter Key window appeared and kept on appearing 10/20 times during updating. Still both problems occurred.
Purchased new HDD and Win 7 upgrade
Installed XP pro sp2, could not type numbers in product key
Clean installed Win 7, Caps lock inverted and no numbers with Keyboard, USB keyboard and On-line keyboard. Again all files highlighted.
System Trouble Shooting – No changes or updated necessary.
System Restore – Error 0xC0003005
In Safe Mode – removed Norton leaving MS net 4, MS Silverlight, NVDIA driver.
Wireless mouse works.
Filter Key window appears sometimes.
Action Center – Richo memory stick controller incompatible, no card reader driver.
Can access msconfig but not mskey or msreg

  • Wireless Keyboard Caps Lock Problem since 2007 - unresolved

    My Mac Pro wireless keyboard "caps lock" stops working - if I reinsert the batteries it will start working again for a short period of time.  I've issues a case number with Mac Tec support; along with bring it into the MAC Store.  This issues has been brought to Apple's attention since 2007 and they have still NOT FIXED THE ISSUE.
    Any suggestions???

    Grant:
    My Mac Pro (10.6.8) is set for automatic updates; and, I even check periodically prior to reminder.  I also was at the PeachMac Store yesterday and they, too, checked and my updates are up-to-date.  If you have a "patch" that can fix this - neither they nor myself are aware of it.  There are multiple, and I mean multiple complaints out there over the internet on this very issue dating back to 2007.  Is there a "patch" that should be utilized on my MAC that didn't come across with the updates?

  • MacBook Keyboard Caps Lock and Num Lock are working in reverse!!!

    Ok, this sounds very strange...my keyboard on my MacBook only works when both the num lock and caps lock keys are depressed (so the green lights are illuminated). if the num lock is off then the keyboard does not work. if num lock is on and caps lock is off then the keys only type in ALL CAPS. if both num lock and caps lock are on (green lights) then the keyboard behaves as it should--except it's supposed to be that the num lock and caps lock keys should be off! I've checked system prefs for keyboard and mouse and for universal access, i've reset to defaults, i've restarted the machine...NOTHING works!
    Has anyone ever seen this before? Any clue what to do?
    thanks

    Do computers have child diseases? My computer's immune system now seems to have taken care of the caps lock/num lock problem. I haven't had any inverted startups in weeks now. Very strange!
    In my experience, the treatment is to ignore the fact caps lock/num lock is lit, and to restart the computer. If you need to log in to restart, do it as if startup was normal, since caps lock/num lock is not actually turned on.
    And hope for the natural healing.
    Does anyone have different experiences?

  • Keyboard Caps Lock Led No Longer Working

    I've rarely pressed the caps lock on this keyboard and now the led has stopped working. The computer is barely a year old.

    I don't know whether any of these were long-term fixes.
    All of the fixes suggested can work with the SMC reset seeming to be the easiest certain correction. I have noticed this is happening less often than a half-year ago so it would lead me to believe that something has improved in the system.

  • Keyboard cap locks stuck

    I cleaned my iMac aluminum keyboard with a windex wipe and now the cap lock key is stuck on, backspace key does not work and "i" now comes out as "ssss" Help!

    You may have damaged the keyboard if liquid got into the the electronics of the keyboard. As a general rule do NOT use any liquids on a keyboard or keeps glasses of liquids in their vicinity to prevent spills. You can try doing a SMC reset or remove the keyboard and put it in a bag of rice for a few days to help it dry out.
    Going forward to clean your keyboard use alcohol wipes or a baby wipe.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • Bug report: crazy keyboard (caps lock flashing)

    Hi all!
    I had the problem of the "crazy keyboard" and I think I understand the cause.
    Mac model: Macbook pro MB134LL/A
    OS: Snow leopard 10.6.5 with latest updates
    Problem: sometimes the caps lock button flash and the trackpad freezes.
    I read similar problems in the forum, without a solution.
    I have an admin account on my mac and I installed the software "mobile partner" to manage mobile connections with an internet key huawei e176.
    Now I have version 16.001.17.04.51 for the mobile partner, and version 4.23.03.00 for the key drivers.
    The "crazy keyboard" problem can happen with these versions and with previous versions too.
    I noticed that in "system preferences->network->advanced settings of the installed HUAWEIMobile-Modem" the drivers are set by default to generic apple modem. So I changed with the "huawei mobile connect - 3G modem" drivers but sometimes this preference automatically changes back to generic apple modem.
    When the keyboard goes crazy I see that the drivers are set to generic apple modem.
    "Crazy keyboard" appears only after installing the internet key, so I think that the cause of the problem is the automatic change of the modem drivers.
    How to solve the problem?Change the admin account, so to avoid changes?
    Thank you

    Here’s the problem as best I can explain it with the help of the “/usr/openwin/demo/xev” tool.
    With the “Caps Lock” key engaged:
    Press and release of the (dotted) “i” key WRONGLY gives uppercase (dotless) “I” letter with “keycode = 59” and “keysym = 0x49”.
    Press and release of the (dotless) “ı” key correctly gives uppercase (dotless) “I” letter with “keycode = 19” and “keysym = 0x49”.
    Disengaging the “Caps Lock” key:
    Holding down the “Shift” key:
    Press and release of the (dotted) “i” key correctly gives uppercase (dotted) “İ” letter with “keycode = 59” and “keysym = 0x2a9”.
    Press and release of the (dotless) “ı” key correctly gives uppercase (dotless) “I” letter with “keycode = 19” and “keysym = 0x49”.
    Summary:
    The delivery of the keysym value of 0x49 seems to be wrong for the “Caps Lock” + “i” keys combination. (Shouldn’t it be 0x2a9?)
    I have learned that user 925353 has initiated SR: 3-5545975463 reporting this problem.

  • Wireless keyboard caps lock issue (not LED related)

    i just bought an iMac last week and I'm having a weird issue with caps locks. It seems like that particular key needs to be pressed harder than the rest of the keys to register a keystroke. If I hit it lightly, the key will depress but the keystroke won't register and the LED light won't come on. Any other key, even if I hit it very lightly, as long as it was pressed down, the keystroke is registered,
    I found the right amount of force where I can press it down like 10 times and it won't register the keystrokes at all. When I'm typing fast, I'll have to go back to capitalize almost 80% of the letter that need capitalizing even though I hit the caps lock key while I was typing. All the "I"s, the first letters of every sentence and the first letters of proper names.
    I've had plenty of keyboards, some wireless and I've never had this issue, nor have I had it on my Macbook. I'm just wondering if this is how it was designed to work or if I have a faulty keyboard that I need to go and replace.

    Hi Guys
    Glad I've just found these posts. Got a new 27" iMac just before Christmas. Greatly relieved that everything worked despite all the reports of cracked screens, etc. BUT - only small problem was the Caps Lock light not always coming on. Rang Apple and got a replacement. Now today I'm having same problems - first the light froze and wouldn't go off. Then it wouldn't come on. I've now tried your advice of switching off the keyboard and taking out the batteries. Works OK now. Hopefuly it'll stay that way. Only thing is - pity Apple couldn't have given me that advice. Reading these posts, there is clearly an ongoing problem with the caps lock light on the wireless keyboard. A problem thats been around for months. Clearly Apple's poilicy, as always, is to admit nothing until it comes up with a fix. Pity that policy appears to extend to not even telling their own employees that there is a problem ...

  • Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard - Caps Lock Issue

    I've purchased the new Apple aluminum bluetooth keyboard, and I'm noticing that the caps lock key has some issues... first off, the little light that indicates the key is on/off rarely comes on. Second, the capslock key doesn't register each time it's depressed, making typing very awkward because I'm quite the proficient typer, and I use the capslock key to type all my uppercase characters, even single characters (goofy, I know), so I often type a word or two in caps before I stop myself and go back.
    I've been using Apple laptops for several years now, so I'm quite used to the flat keys and I'm sure I'm depressing the key correctly as I type. I've also tested it quite thoroughly by carefully pressing it down, just to see if I'm certain, although these tests are somewhat hampered by the first issue (no light to indicate wether it's really on or not).
    The keyboard is brand new (it's not even a week old), and I'm not sure if it might just be a manufacturing flaw with this particular unit or if it's software related (as there has already been one patch for this line of keyboards this week). Other then that, it runs great and feels amazing (especially being used to a laptop keyboard). It's also light as a feather! However, is anyone else experiencing any issues like this?
    Alex

    New development: I've noticed my caps key (incl. light) has been working how I would describe as "as intended" for the last few hours; ever since I bumped the power key on the side of the battery tube earlier while picking up the keyboard. I'm not sure if this is the cause of my recent success, but I'll look into it.
    I'm thinking more and more this is a software related issue. Perhaps Apple will look into how the various states the keyboard can be in (I'm sure there must be a few, or perhaps in relation to the state of the system) might affect the caps key. It sounds weird, I know, but things seem to be working just fine now. I'm not sure how long that will last of course; I'll post again if/when it stops working, which my guess will be tomorrow after I've let my system go to sleep for the night, but that's speculation based on the fact that my MBP has other "wake from sleep" quirks I've learned to deal with...maybe this is one of them.

  • TS1381 wired keyboard: caps lock light on, but keys unresponsive

    I have an extended, wired (not wireless) keyboard, and the caps lock light stays lit up, but all keys are unresponsive. Is the keyboard dead?

    Hi, how did you resolve this. I have the exact same issue!

  • BT Keyboard Caps Lock Light

    Under iOS 7, the Caps Lock light on the Apple BT keyboard no longer works. Pairing it with an iOS 6 device makes it work again. What did Apple do to break this?

    It's a compatability issue with the new iOS.  The Apple Wireless Keyboard isn't actually made for iOS devices, but the compatability was added later early in iOS 6.  It's not officially supported which is probably why it wasn't included in the initial rollout, but it's likely something they'll fix once they have all the security/performance bugs worked out.

  • Wireless keyboard caps lock light not working

    Hey, said it all in the title but here's the story...
    Got home today and realized that the caps lock LED don't light up anymore. Has anyone else had similar problems? If so, how was your situation rectified?
    The keyboard still works fine, don't think its a bad enough problem to have it replaced or be without it for ages. Could see if apple will allow a straight swap at the shop...

  • 2009 Aluminum Keyboard caps lock light not functioning

    Greetings:
    I bought my wireless keyboard in February 2010 and it works but lately the caps lock light has not been coming on when I hit the caps lock key. I took it to a local Apple Specialist to try to figure out what is going on and it of course worked when he paired it to his machine.
    I got it back home and re-paired it to my mini (2009 2.25 mhz intel) and it worked for the day... now it is not functioning again. I unpaired the keyboard and re-paired it again and the light functions again for the time being. But if it holds to pattern, tomorrow it will be non-functioning again.
    I have the latest update for the keyboard installed and I am at Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on the system.
    It appears that if the keyboard goes to sleep, this phenomenon happens. Any ideas?

    I think that re-pairing the keyboard does essentially the same thing as restarting the machine would do with regards to resetting the keyboard. I did replace the batteries today just to see if that would help. -- so far, the light is working still and the keyboard has been asleep for a couple of hours since I replaced the batteries. They showed 81% when I replaced them this morning.
    I would like to know if this is a common problem. The keyboard always works, just the caps lock light stops working which is annoying for me because I tend to hit it by accident and the light is a good way to see that I did, in fact, hit the key.
    I am marking the question as answered, but hopefully someone has a real fix for it, or Apple has a new firmware update coming soon

  • Wireless keyboard caps lock is inside out.

    I have a wireless keyboard working with Mac Air.   The caps lock key is randomly on caps with the light on  -  or off with the light on.  I've checked that the Caps Lock key on the mac air keyboard is off so that the caps lock key on the remote keyboard isn't getting a different signal but that doesn't seem to make any difference.  They apparently arent' related and probably shouldn't be related. 
    Suggestions?   What's most curious is that its random and shifting back and forth. 

    Sorry...I sometimes "assume" things...dumb on my part
    PRAM=Parameter Random Access Memory - reset like this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243
    SMC=System Management Controller - reset like this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Neither of those resets will hurt anything, and sometimes they "fix" odd problems.
