Alt car key on lenovo u430p not working.

hey guys, my keyboard is the multilingual french keyboard. But for some reason when i try to enter french symbols using the "Alt Car" key and then pressing the desired key - nothing happens.
anybody know of a fix to this problem? being un-able to use french characters is annoying me

There is a feature with Starup Repair, at least for win7, that will fix some extras, including the partition tables.
Simply Run it three times in a row from the DVD, not from the hard drive...without letting it try to boot into windows..
Usually you can read through what it has checked and what it has changed.. hopefully will see a message that will give a hint of what is wrong.
The first time takes a while,, on my win7/64 its maybe 30 minutes.., Then the 2nd and 3rd times run its only a few minutes each. Very fast.... Near the end of the 3rd run it will rebuild the partition tables, marks the boot or windows partition active.. and has done all it can & then quits.
If you made a windows backup set with a system image it will replace the small boot partition and system image and replace all your doc/pics etc. ''Restore from back up" option on the same window/menu showing startup repair.

    Hi Luis Fernando Garcia,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has troubleshooting for keys not working on your keyboard:
    One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
    Some keys don't work as expected
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Speech.
    Click the Text to Speech tab.
    If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
    Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
    Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
    In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sureMouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, seeUnable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
    If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
    If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
    Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
    Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
    If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • Keys on the Keyboard not working.

    A couple keys on my keyboard are not working. The Y is one of them. Every time I click Y it makes this noise but it doesn't type Y. I know the problem is not with the hardware because I replaced the keyboard with a brand new one and it still is the same. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you very much for your time.
    Take care,
    Andrew

    Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check what the Speech and Listening keys are; if necessary, change the setting.

  • Alt shift clear paragraph overrides does not work

    ID CS3 Win
    This is one of those little things that is becoming very frustrating-- crtl +shift+ click on paragraph style does not work all the time. It worked for me last week, but is not working today-- or it actually does work after click about 3 times , clicking another style and clicking back on the correct style. Anyone experiencing this/know a fix or what I may be doing wrong? I am doing as it says, holding those keys down and clicking the style.

    >crtl +shift+ click on paragraph style does not work all the time
    It shouldn't work at all. Those modifiers are for the clear overrides button at the bottom of the styles palette. Alt-click on the style name to clear all overrides. I believe this is different behaviour from CS2 (or am I thinking of CS) where alt-click cleared character overrides and alt-shft-click cleared everything.

  • OEM key for Win7 Pro not working on Win10

    Upgraded a Windows 7 Pro computer(OEM-licensed) with Windows 10 Pro but the OEM license key(on the Microsoft sticker) does not work. The upgrade was a clean install from a USB-stick. Anyone who has the same problem?

    Hi akjersem, welcome to the forums,
    an upgrade needs to be performed by starting the process from within the existing qulaified operating system, hopefully this reply in another thread will prove useful for you;

  • Some keys on my keyboard not working anymore

    So i got my macbook i think like a year ago maybe little more and a row of keys in my keyboard stopped working i have apple care extended for 3 years, does this will cover fixing my keyboard?

    It will cover the keyboard as long as it is determined that the keyboard failed on it's own, not because of something you may have done, like spilt water on it for example.

  • Control key (^) combined shortcuts does not work on mac book pro

    All shortcut combinations with the control key (^) do not work. I´m using Mac Book Pro 13 (late 2013) with Os X Mavericks 10.9.4

    The Logic Board is the Main system board. In the Windows world better known as the Motherboard. Except with Apple Mac computers the CPU and the GPU are Soldered to the logic board and if it is a Retina screen model the RAM is also Soldered to it.
    So replacing the Logic board is like replacing the compete system and costs accordingly.
    But there isn't much else you can do if you can't get that switch unstuck. Or just go without sound from the built in speakers. They aren't that good anyway.
