Blinking caps lock key

Anybody know why my caps lock key has started blinking. It isn't blinking fast and I thought I was seeing things at first but it is flashing now and then.

If you were talking about an Atari ST I would say 100% keyboard fault, the keyboard on the ST is 'intelligent' and this is the way it tells you it gone faulty - maybe similar thing going on with yours ?

  • HP Dv6z-7200 Notebook blinking caps lock key, red wifi button

    I re-did the thermal paste on my computer (Dv6z-7200, AMD A10-4600m, Radeon 7670m, 6Gb RAM ) and i put it back together, and the screen does not come on, the power button lights up, the wifi key is red and then the caps lock key blinks indefinetly, and the fan comes on. Lucky for me my buddy has the same laptop so I took out the motherboard on mine and put it in his' with his' hard drive, RAM, wlan, etc. and it still didn't work. So it must be the motherboard, right? Could it be something with the BIOS? If it is the motherboard that is fried, could someone direct me to where i can get a new one? I tried the hp part surfer website, but could not find it. Thank you -Zach

    Hi Nayj424,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your Compaq Presario CQ62-102TX Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices. If that does not help try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore.
    Hope this is helpful.
    Thanks.

    Occasionally my caps lock key blinks some time later my keyboard locks up what is causing the blinking and is it related to my keyboard locking.
    This blinking occurs when no keyboarding is going on.
    Back-up is not running.
    I am on-line.

    Anthony:
    The normal practice is to use the Shift key when typing a single Capital letter, as in a name or the beginning of a sentence, and the Caps Lock key to type all caps. The easiest thing would be for you to retrain your little finger to use the Shift instead of Caps Lock. I know of no way to display an icon at the bottom of the monitor to display that the caps lock key is engaged.

  • Laptop freezes at HP logon screen, edit to post Caps lock key blinks 5 times

    Hi,
    This is an edit to my original post,
    I have also noticed the caps lock key blinks 5 times in fairly
    quick succession then there is about a second delay then
    it keeps repeating the same pattern,also the number
    lock key is also on
    Don`t no if this has any importance?
    Thanks again
    I hope I`m posting in the right place, please forgive me if I`m not
    I have a HP Probook 4535s  (now out of warranty)
    When I turn it on it freezes at the Hp start up screen
    It does`nt matter which "F" key I press after a few
    seconds it starts to beep (not in the identifying a
    problem way) This includes the "Esc" key
    Whatever key I have pressed it goes from just
    text to having a white box around the text
    but does nothing
    I have reseated the RAM and them replaced
    it I have also replaced the HDD, although it
    is maller than the original all with the
    same results, so am at a loss.
    Any help and guidence would be most appreciated
    Oh sorry I have also removed the battery and held
    down the power button to purge it
    Thank you in advance for reading my post
    Best regards
    Neil
    ps I have not got the recovery disks (lost when we moved)

    Sorry to hear that. Please refer to the Blank Screen LED Error Codes document from HP Support. It sounds like a "General system board failure." The explanation says to contact HP for assistance. The motherboard might need to be replaced, and you will probably require the assistance of a technician to fix the problem.

  • Black screen caps lock key blinks

    Laptop screen is blank and the caps lock key blinks 3 times over and over..Tried doing what was suggested, taking out and reinstalling the memory card..also blew out the dust and didn't fix the problem ..I think it's Windows 7 installed.

    Hi there @Philvasquez 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I am sorry to here that you are getting this particular error code and that your initial troubleshooting has not helped.
    I assume that you were looking through this page, and followed it.
    Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps
    LEDs blink 3 times
    Memory
    Module error not functional
    If you have followed the process within that page, related to a memory problem, and it is still doing the same thing, then you are looking at two possibilities. One or more of the memory modules in your notebook is defective, or the main board has a faulty connection.
    You can try testing the memory individually or by swapping them (if there  are two) into the different memory sockets. Doing this you can isolate if one memory chip or the other is defective, or if it is a socket problem.
    Once you know which problem it is , you will likely need to get replacement memory, or a replacement board, or in a worst case both.
    See the following, for more details on the compatible parts and type of memory that are supported.

  • G42-415dx single blink caps lock - options

    My beloved G42 has bit the dust. I get nothing on the screen. The light on the caps lock key is doing the single blink. HP docs says this is the code for bad CPU.
    I tried blowing out dust.
    I tried unplugging, removing battery, holding power button 15 seconds, plug in and leave battery out and then turn on.
    I tried removing the RAM
    I've done every troubleshooting step I could find and it still gives me the single blink and doesn't boot.
    1) is there anything else I should try?
    2) Can I fix this myself by replacing the CPU?
    Thank you

  • G62 fans run, black screen, blinking CAps Lock

    I went to turn on my G62 today and i heard the fan running and it tried to boot up but stopped. The screen was completely black and the caps lock key blinks steady one blink every like 5 seconds.
    It was running perfectly fine yesterday!
    Someone told me it sounds like a bios problem but when i searched the forum for a fix it said to start it up while holding the windows and B keys and turning it on. This didnt do anything and now i need a fix?
    Anyone that can help it would be appreciated greatly!

    Hard reset fixes issue.
    But still do it again as follows:
    1) Turn off laptop.
    2) Remove battery and AC plug.
    3) Press and hold Power button for 1 minute, do it thrice.
    4) Now put battery and plug AC.
    5) Now press power button.
    6) Go to BIOS settings and reset all.
    Above worked for me.

  • Problem that starts with *apparent* sticking caps lock key

    I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro (two weeks outside of AppleCare, of course!).  Last night, it appeared the caps lock key was sticking. It would type in all caps even when I hit the button and the green indicator light went off. Moments later, I noticed that the option that shows you all the windows on the same screen was suddenly going very, very slow. I tried to restart but it started in safe mode - twice. It finally started correctly on the third or fourth reboot. I hoped it was a fluke.
    Unfortunately it's happening again and rebooting doesn't seem to fix it - I can't put in my password to login because it thinks I'm typing in all caps.
    Any ideas, please?  Thanks.

    This may enter the Apple Hall of Fame for stupid posts.  I spent a couple hours last night restarting the computer, trying restore etc....and really doing anything I could from clinton's link in order to identify the problem.  I'd even called our local store to let them know I would be there first thing in the morning (I'm boarding a plane in a few minutes and really needed my laptop for this trip).
    So after doing all of those things + removing the caps lock key to see if it was somehow manually stuck, I go the store this morning.  Virtual panic.  I needed a presentation off the laptop for a workshop tomorrow and I hadn't backed up since I created it...
    I enter the store, I begin to explain the situation in detail, I open up the laptop....
    And the guy at the store says "Did you notice your shift key is stuck down?".  Why No, I hadn't noticed that!  With a tiny wiggle and a tap, that key popped back into place and the computer worked fine.  The Safe Mode was happening because the shift key was down.

  • Cap Lock Key Bad

    Since day one of me using this MB Pro (which was brand new not used, no refrub) the cap locks key has been sketchy at best. Now most of the time I use an external keyboard and monitor but when I use the laptop it gets annoying quick. You really need to hammer down on the cap locks key to work and I know thats not right. Any ideas?

    Well, no solution here, but I heve exactly the same problem with my second keyboard. The first one was replaced on warranty and the replacement is same-same.
    The only sure way to turn the Caps Lock on is to hold it down for a fraction of a second. A tap never does it - ever.
    I wonder if it is a "design feature" as it is the one and only key giving me grief.
    I guess taking yours for a keyboard replacement is the only solution, you may be lucky and get a working one.

    Hi

  • Accidentally Removed My Caps Lock Key; Don't Know How To Put It Back On

    I accidentally popped off my caps lock key trying to get out a sesame seed that got under it. Now I can't put it back on. I tried assembling it and the parts fit, but I couldn't get it to snap in place.
    Here are the parts I have:
    !http://i41.tinypic.com/1675jc2.jpg!
    Can anyone guide me on putting it back on?
    Thanks.

    Thanks! That really worked
    Although, I found my Caps Lock a little stiff, so I removed the metal stabilizer (saw no real use for it).
    I hope nothing happens without it!
    Thanks again

  • Elitebook9470 not turning on,scroll and cap lock keys light up

    I have an elitebook9470 which is about 2 years old. When I turn my laptop on the keys light up but the monitor remains blank. Then the scroll and caps lock keys light up however nothing appears on the monitor. I have charged my laptop and I am unsure if it is related to low power. I have tried attaching the laptop to an external monitor but no signal appears. Any help regarding this will be appreaciated. thanks for your help.

    Hi @Nush 2015 ,
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
    Even though this is a Commercial product, try performing a hard reset.
    When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    Here is a link on computer does not start.
    You could reset the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings.
    Hope this helps you out.

  • Caps Lock Key Stuck on Compaq Presario CQ57

    Hey,
    Today when i powered my Compaq Presario CQ57 up the CAPS LOCK key could not be turned off.  The CAPS LOCK indicator light remains on.  The computer boots and performs normally with the exception of this one big issue.  
    Any advice or assIstance would be much appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to Discussions Maria - the only thing I can think of is to turn the keyboard upside down and rap it on the table. This might unstick the key... maybe....
    Let us know if it does,
