Cant type password 2get in2 lap-keyboard broke-help with new keyboard

Hi, i need to put a new keyboard into my laptop because some of the keys on my current one arent working. I know how to get the laptop open and replace keyboard, but what i am not sure about is if i will be able to use new keybaord straight away or if it will need some sort of installing once laptop on? ..... because my prob at moment is that i cannot get onto the laptop as need to insert my password at turn on, but two of the letters i need arent working!!
so in short, can i put in new keyboard and it work straight away so that i cen enter password and back onto laptop.
thanks for any help Jen

While I cannot answer your question from personal experience, I suspect the answer to your question is that there is no need for any set up.
However, you should be able to attach any USB keyboard (no setup needed) and use IT to log on to your computer.
Good luck!

    you can also access accented characters directly if you buy an apple extended keyboard for the language you want, in your case I presume spanish. then, you just have to select spanish as the primary language of your user account, and your keyboard will operate normally with all the accented keys you see on it working exactly as they should. you'll also have the OS localised into spanish in that case as well.. at least that is the case in france when using a french 'azerty' keyboard. for me, even though the azerty keyboard makes it faster to type in french because the accented letters are just there with one tap as opposed to having to use the option+accent function described earlier, I still usually prefer to do it the slower way with a qwerty keyboard.. because the french azerty keyboard for some stupid reason makes you hold 'shift' in order to type a full stop! ridiculous..

  • Lenovo N500 keyboard/ numbers instead of letters/with new keyboard installed/Resolved!!

    I thought I would share my recent adventure with a 3000 N500 I have. The laptop was special ordered with Xp Pro on it. I uninstalled and installed Ubuntu, worked great. At some point my wife spilled some soda onto the page up and down keys, resutling in those keys not working. Recently I purchased her another latop and decided to reinstall Windows Xp Pro on the N500 for use with some camera software I have.
    I decided to go ahead and order another keyboard from Amazon, for 21 bucks. I wiped the drive and used an OEM Xp Pro to reinstall windows. I was having some issues with sound and modem drivers and decided to go ahead and install SP3 on it to help out with the high def install of drivers. That worked great, but when I recieved the new keyboard Tuesday and install it, I noticed that some dual number letter keys were inputting numbers. I googled and was brought here where a number of posters stated several programs might be the cause. I searched and these programs WERE'NT installed on this, due to a clean install of OEM windows. This took me back to suare one, why. I'm very proficiant in PC's having built many custom machines and assisted others in repair. I decided to test the keyboard by using an flash drive with Linux on it. The keyboard worked like a champ, so that narrowed the issue to windows pr software inside it.
    Booting back to windows I started thinking that possibly an update inside SP3. I removed SP3 and rebooted and the keyboard worked great, no errors. Sooo at this point, I installed SP2 to get more up to date on the system. Keyboard still works great at this point, but now the modem and the audio are complaining about driver packs.That was resoved with the install of the high def pack from Microsoft without installing SP3.
    I'm posting this to let everyone know, there may be a possibility of an update in SP3 that may be causing keyboard errors. I haven't taken the time to narrow which update, since mine is now working fine, but be aware this conflict may exist.  This SP3 issue may be something that Lenovo needs to explore to head off issues as SP3 is forced onto users to get the high def update for audio. 
    The short story is, if you removed IDvault or GuardID and are still have issues, you might try removing SP3 thru add/remove programs. Reboot and see if the key board starts to funtion properly.
    >>BE AWARE!!<< removing SP3 may remove needed drivers causing devices to stop working. So good luck, hope this helps others. 

    I just did a clean install of WinXP SP2 on a 3000 N100 from the original restore CD. Everything appeared fine after installing SP3.
    I went on to install several system drivers and support applications.
    Then as soon as I installed the Lenovo Hotkey driver, I noticed some of the letter keys return digits , e.g. "R" > "6".
    I tried uninstalling it using add/remove programs, but that didn't help.
    An external USB keyboard works OK.
    How can I back out of this problem?

    chris....

    Hi
    Why do you think that the motherboard is ok?
    Maybe its a keyboard controller issue
    Did you check if the cable was connected properly?
    In my opinion if you are 100% sure that the keyboard is ok then the issue must be related to the motherboard because there is no other part which is placed between the keyboard and mobo.
    Bye

  • Need help remapping new keyboard

    I got a new keyboard for my Mac but some of the keys don't seem to be working as I need them.  The keyboard is made to function with both OSX and iOS, so it has some F buttons that will work for both, such as volume, brightness, etc. However, some of the regular keys have been replaced to work with iOS, the most important ones being the ESC key and the Eject key. The keys won't work as what I need them to and I can't seem to find a program that will let me just remap them to those keys. What can I do to map those keys properly?

    Hey rios741416,
    Have you already tried using the options in the Keyboard pane of the system preferences to accomplish this goal?
    OS X Mavericks: Change keyboard, mouse, and trackpad settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14317
    To change settings for your keyboard, use the Keyboard pane of System Preferences.
    You can adjust the key repeat and make other changes to keyboard keys, choose text options, modify keyboard shortcuts, and choose a different input source (such as Greek or Chinese).
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • F12 and Dreamweaver with new keyboard

    Greetings and salutations.
    Just got the new Apple keyboard (which I really like, by the way) and, besides the F3 F4 bug (which I have) my problem is that everytime I go to hit opt+f12 in Dreamweaver to preview a site in Safari (I have tried Fn+f12) I get an audio preference pane. How can I get this thing in Dreamweaver to recognize "preview in browser." You can't change the preview keyboard shortcut in Dreamweaver itself (I have tried).
    Thanks
    Mike

    Hi,
    Same here. Really wicked things happen with this keyboard. When I've opened Dreamweaver (v.8) – which shares the same keyboard shortcut with Finder - the sound volume control went crazy, it acted like someone hitting the increase volume key forever! I've tried disconnect the keyboard, then it stops, after connecting it again same things happen - sound control goes nuts. I have to restart, and just after restart for no reason the dvd tray opens...
    I would also would like to now how to fix this. I've got the latest keyboard driver but it doesn't help at all.

  • Can I Replace a Keyboard(Non-Backlit) with Backlit Keyboard in my HP Pavilion DV6 3217TU Laptop.??

    Hello All... My name Pravin and I own a HP PAVILION DV6-3217TU Laptop couple of years ago.
    Well, when I visited a near by HP Customer service center for the replacement of some components in it, the HP Technician has told me that My HP PAVILION DV6-3217TU Laptop is compatible for the up-gradation with Backlit Keyboard as he found the required sockets available for a backlit keyboard on my laptop's Mother Board. I felt pretty happy to hear about that, as it sounds real cool for the guy like me who works mostly at night time...
    PLEASE CAN ANYBODY CONFIRM THAT MY HP PAVILION DV6-3217TU Laptop IS COMPATIBLE FOR THIS UP-GRADATION, IF COMPATIBLE, DOES ALL THE KEY STROKES WORKS FINE AS THE PREVIOUS ONE.???
    Hope I hear a good news about it from the great experts here..^_*
    Thanks In Advance..
    Regards..

  • White A1016 wireless keyboard not pairing with new MacBook Pro

    I still have (and love) the original white bluetooth Mac keyboard (model A1016, with numeric keypad and function keys). It won't pair to my new MacBook Pro. It's discoverable, appears in the list, I can select it and try to pair. Then it sits with the spinning wheel for some time before giving up.
    Oddly, if I press "return" during the spinning, it (very) briefly displays the passcode, but of course by then it's too late, and fails saying that I got the passcode wrong!
    This appears to be a Bluetooth system preference problem - is anyone else seeing this?
    This Apple technote suggests that this keyboard should work with iOS, whereas the original aluminium one doesn't (although it's not entirely clear)... if it works with iOS, I can't see why it won't work with OS X 10.8.4!

    My old Bluetooth Mighty Mouse won't work with my newer MBP running Mountain Lion, either. I suspect that the keyboard is incompatible with your new machine/OS X 10.8.x.

  • Help with my keyboard please!

    Hello, I have a problem with my keyboard.
    Since I install Yosemite, my keyboard behaves differently.
    Not supposed that the keyboard backlight go off completely when I'm in a super bright room? Because I've tried light up the light sensor and keyboard lights go to the fullest. I think it should be the other way.
    The screen works perfectly, the light dims at night, but the problem with the keyboard still there.
    I tried to disable and enable the automatic function for scase light environments, but still not working.
    I have also reset the SMC, but neither works.
    Anybody could help me?

  • Strange micro stuttering in games with new keyboard

    I recently upgraded my keyboard to one with mechanical switches and a much higher polling rate at 1000 Hz /1 ms.
    After switching over to this keyboard, I'm getting strange fps microstutters in games. Not sure how to diagnose and fix this issue.
    I've done some simple A/B tests with the same game and my old Logitech K120 USB membrane keyboard and the new keyboard also changing USB 2.0 ports even trying on 3.0 and PS/2 via a USB to PS/2 adapter, although the keyboard wont work via PS/2 (PS/2 hook is enabled via mkinitcpio and a regular PS/2 keyboard works).
    With the old keyboard everything is buttery smooth with a high frame rate, the new keyboard causes strange stuttering in almost all games, although I have the same frame rates.
    The new keyboard is a CM Storm Quickfire TK, which I'm assuming is putting out a hardware based 1000hz polling rate over USB?
    Would there be anyway to lower the polling rate of the keyboard to test if that is the cause of the issue? Can only seem to find info on changing mouse polling rate.
    The only other hardware connected to USB is a Razer Deathadder mouse running at 450 DPI & 500Hz, using the razercfg drivers from AUR.
    I've tried lowering the polling rate of the mouse to 125Hz and also disabling razerd.service but the issue still stands.
    Currently running Arch on a FX 6350 CPU, GA-970-DS3 Gigabyte board and a Nvidia GT 660.
    Any suggestions?

    Since no one else has any idea, just a shot in the dark from me: you could try the linux-ck kernel from the AUR and see if it helps… It hugely increased the framerate of Serious Sam 3 for me, and also removed some stuttering in Bit.Trip Runner 2. However I have no idea what polling rate my keyboard has; most probably it’s just the usual rate because it’s not a gaming keyboard.

    i can type normally in terminal, but when it asks for a password nothing registers. whats worng?

    Nothing's wrong. It's a security feature so people watching over your shoulder can't see how many characters are being typed. The password is still entered although you'll see nothing typed. Just press return when you've finished typing it.
