Bookmarks and Caps Lock problems

Sometimes when I try to open a window it does not open but goes to "Bookmarks". Also, I am unable to unlock "caps lock". These 2 things always happen together and I have to restart to get back to normal. This just started a couple of days ago. What am I doing to cause this? Thanks!

[Solved] Strange Problem swapping Esc and Caps lock in X

Hi
i use xmodmap to swap esc and caps lock. my .xmodmaprc:
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keycode 9 = Caps_Lock
keycode 66 = Escape dead_diaeresis
add Lock = Caps_Lock
As login manager i use slim and everthing works as expected as long as i don't activate slim's autologin option. In this case pressing caps lock executes caps lock and esc. The same happens if i start X from the console via startx. I have no clue why this happens. Anyone got an idea whats the problem?
More, maybe relevant info: i use dwm as window manager and xmodmap is executed in .xinitrc.

I find that many of these types of common key switches are supported by xorg.conf.d configurations. For example, I use my caps lock as a secondary "windows key" since that is the mod key for my i3 setup. So I have this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
% cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
<snip>
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbOptions" "caps:super"
EndSection
<snip>
I found the option you need. It is in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst, and it is "caps:swapescape". In my mind, this is the more "correct" way of doing it, as it is done during the initalization of X rather than as an after thought.
I hope this helps!

Lion - num lock and caps lock keys problem

Since installing lion I have to have num lock key and caps lock key turned on to type normally (otherwise I get all numbers if num lock off, or all caps if cap lock off). It's like the keys' functions have been reversed. (2.16 GHz MacBook).
Any help much appreciated.

Keyboard delete and caps lock keys not working after update

Shortly after a windows update two keys, delete and caps lock do not work. I have tried the following
1. system restore..it says it cannot restore as a file is missing. I have used this function before without any problem.
2. Update key board driver (standard PS/2)..it says latest version is installed.
3. Uninstall and reinstall.
4. Reset using the remove batteryt hold down power key option.
The caps lock and delete does not work in Notepad or MS Word.
It seems unlikely that the two keys themselves are damaged as it is unlikely that they would both fail at the same time and the problem after the windows undate is suspicious.
I am using Windows 7 Home premium on a 64 bit HP G62.
help appreciated as ever
thanks

Here's another test...since your laptop has USB ports get or borrow a USB keyboard and try it and if all those keys work and test then the results would mean your laptop keyboard has stop functioning as least you narrow done the problem.

Laptop won't start quickly but power wifi and caps lock light keeps blinking

Hi, it has happened before too but rarely but nowadays it happens on daily purposes.
When I switch on my laptop after leaving it for 8-9 hrs, it won't start up but instead power, wifi and caps lock light keep blinking. I tried removing battery and pressing power button for few minutes but nothing happens. Then i left it like that with lights blinking and after 15 20 minutes it booted. I did same yesterday too. I left it like that it booted after 20 minutes..so My question is "why is this happening? Is it a motherboard issue or is it because of cold moisturous weather here and laptop takes time to get warm up?" Should I show it to HP Service center?

Hi @Nishant5788
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are having a problem getting your notebook to boot up normally. As for what is causing the problem the blinking Caps Lock should tell us what is causing the problem as it should be blinking in a pattern. This HP document Computer Does Not Start and LEDs blink has a chart that will tell you what the blink codes mean.
This is most likely a hardware issue and you can give us a call regarding repair options. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.

Letter keys and Caps lock not responding

So, I've run into a very odd problem several times now, and I was wondering if anyone had encountered anything like it. Basically, the computer stops responding to the letter keys and cap lock will no longer turn on (light doesn't even turn on), but the arrow keys, command, and tab still work. The only way I have found to make the keys respond again is to reboot.
This has so far occured at two different occasions: Once, while using Blender 2.49b, and several times while playing the game "Warcraft 3: the Frozen throne." The only similarity I noticed between them is that they both fill the entire screen. The problem has not occurred anywhere else, although it persists after quitting the application.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I have been researching a lot on the internet re: 10.6.7 macbook's built-in keyboard's arrow keys are not responding! Been doing it for more than a month. I even saw a HARDWARE Troubleshooting at Youtube, by taking out the battery and tighten some screws for the keyboard, that people do by themselves and most of them say they get it fixed. Since I AM NOT techy I still tried to search for more resolutions at least before I spend money to bring my Macbook to a repair store! And finally! Thank God!!!! THIS RESOLUTION JUST FIXED MY PROBLEM w/o having to TECHNICALLY open my Macbook, take the battery out and screw harder some screws inside the laptop! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS RESOLUTION! ^_^

Hi Chris,
See if you can match the pattern of the 'blinks' to those shown on the table below - this may atleast give you a better idea of what the problem is.

Could be an early retirement problem. There is no fixed lifespan for anything, as you know. Find a friend with a keyboard and test that in your machine. That will show if it is your keyboard or your computer. We can progress from there.

Hi, I have a HP Pavillon Dv4 1225 dx. Since a week when I turn it on I hear a noise that seems that it is going to start but it doesn´t. The scroll, num block and caps looks bottom are blinking all time and the screen remains as if it were off, even if I wait for an a half an hour. I tried changing the memories, connecting another monitor, checking the battery but it doesn´t work. I would be great if you could give me an advice about what can I do to solve the problem. Kind regards

HP ProBook 6540b won't boot and caps lock "blinking" continuously.

Hi,
I'm trying to help a friend with his laptop a Probook 6540b.
It won't boot and caps lock "blinking" continuously.
When I got it caps lock and num lock was "blinking" tre times... indicated memory problems, reseated the memory modules
and the the "tre time blinking" disappeared, but caps lock now blinking continuously and the only way to shot down the computer
is to disconnect the power.
Anyone with some ideas???

A neighbor had the same problem and asked for my assistance. I created a rescue disk using my HP desktop running Windows 7 64-bit. Even though her HP laptop was running Windows 7 32-bit, the disk allowed me to boot into windows on her computer. I then went to the HP web site and downloaded the latest BIOS and then flashed it to the BIOS chip following the instructions that came with the download. Everything is working fine now. Hope this helps.

Select keys not working (including num lock and caps lock) PRAM won't rese

Help, I have a number of keys that stopped working including the "o" "9" number lock and caps lock (the lights on the number lock and caps lock don't work)
oh- I'm writing this from another computer so all are working on this one, let you think i'm crazy.
Tried to reset the SMC per instructions. Sounds like there is no "confirmation" that that was done. Tried resetting my pram (comand option p r) I don't get the "reset" sounds, it just boots up as normaal.
Suggestions????
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried an external keyboard? If an external keyboard works without issue, there is something wrong with your built in keyboard. If you get the same issues, you may have a software problem or glitch of some sort.
If you create a new user account, do you still have the same problems? If not, there could be a problem with your usual account.
Was there ever a spill or anything that might have affected your built in keyboard?
Good luck!

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.
Thanks.

Pavilion DV4-1070ee got stuck on a blank screen and numlock and caps lock LED are blinking..

My pavilion dv4-1070 got stuck on a blank screen and numlock and caps lock LED are blinking... it happens when i update the BIOS.. please help... thanks

Hello,
I see that you're having an issue with the notebook giving you a black screen. I also noticed you said only the NumLock and Caps lock is blinking.
Now, the BIOS update could have because this but we won't know until you let me know how many times the LED blinks.
Here is a chart which will tell us what's causing the issue.
Please let me know the outcome.
