Cap Lock and Number Lock

I recently upgraded my MacBook to Leopard two days ago. Just a few minutes ago, I needed to hard restart my mac (i've been having problems with this, i'm having it checked on fri. in the genius bar). I noticed when it restarted the num lock and cap lock button lit up. When i press them again to turn off the light. my "letter" buttons can only type with numbers. When i have the num lock on the keyboard works fine. Same with the cap lock button. It needs to be on in order for the letter NOT be capitalized. Is there a way to fix this?

I guess it was glitch. I restarted my computer and it works fine.

  • Caps Lock and Number Lock reversal

    I installed the software update this morning and now I have to have caps lock on and number lock on to type in lower case. While this is obviously not a major problem it is a little annoying. Are there any other answers other than reinstall the software update?

    It might be worth a shot resetting the PRAM/NVRAM.

    Hi,
    I am using DV5 with processor AMD Turion X2 RM70. CAPS Lock and Scroll Lock blinking once every 4 secs.

  • DV4 flashing caps lock and num lock lights

    My laptop, an HP Pavilion DV4-2040US, has stopped booting up recently. The day before this problem come about I was using the laptop perfectly fine. I then went one day without using. When I turn on the laptop it booted up but nothing showed up on the screen. Then the CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK lights started to blink on and off.
    I did some researching about the blinking lights and what they mean but I don't think mine is listed on there. It says the pattern will repeat a couple of times then shut off, but mine doesn't. The pattern is the CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK both blink once every 3 seconds (about) and keeps blinking every 3 seconds forever. The only time they stop blinking is when I shut I down by holding the power button on the laptop.
    I've tried disconnecting everything and holding for 15 seconds and even tried holding it for 30 seconds and that still didn't fix the problem. I called HP support and the guy who I talked to told me it sounded like a motherboard issue, but he wasn't sure exactly and told me to ask here for help.
    If it matters, I can hear the fan turn on for about 2 seconds then stop. Also all the touch sensitive buttons light up too$

    Please, someone, anyone help me. I am having this exact same problem as we speak It happened after i put the laptop to sleep overnight. The LEDs for capslock and numlock blink consistently but slowly-approximatelt 2-3 seconds. When started up, i hear the fan come on for maybe a second or two and then comes off.I've tried all the mentioned solutions - i removed the battery for a while and put it back in-i tried the four arrows-i tried started up with AC adapted but without battery - and still no fix. What i am worried about is the documents and files on the laptop. Are they recoverable? Please help me on this someone. Please. Thank You.

  • Updating caps lock and num lock status

    I need to keep track of the status of the caps lock and num lock keys in a status bar of my frame.
    I get the current status with a code like this
    Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
    numLockState = toolkit.getLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_NUM_LOCK);
    capsLockState = toolkit.getLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK);
    fireChangeEvent();
    where fireChangeEvent() updates a label in the status bar. The code is invoked when any of the caps lock and num lock keys are pressed (while the window has the focus) and when the window is activated. This code works while the window has the focus (i.e. the status of the keys if correctly tracked). It does not work correctly when the window is activated.
    Specifically the following scenario fails:
    - The window has focus and the state of the keys if correctly reported by the code above (say caps lock up, num lock
    up);
    - The window loses focus, i.e., another (non java) window gains the focus;
    - The user presses any of the two keys (say the caps lock key);
    - The window regains focus.
    When the latter event happens the code above is invoked (as a consequence of the window being activated) but it continues to report the status of the keys at the time the focus was lost by the window (caps lock up, num lock up).
    It seems that the toolkit does not automatically updates its internal status if a key is pressed when the java window does not have the focus. If I press the caps lock key (so that it returns to the up state) after the window has regained focus the status is updated and the new state is correctly reported. I need to manually realign the status by pressing the keys to have them correctly reported by the toolkit.
    Some ideas on how to have correct key status even after the window looses the focus?
    Thanks.

    Specifically the following scenario fails:
    - The window has focus and the state of the keys if correctly reported by the code above (say caps lock up, num lock
    up);
    - The window loses focus, i.e., another (non java) window gains the focus;
    - The user presses any of the two keys (say the caps lock key);
    - The window regains focus.
    When the latter event happens the code above is invoked (as a consequence of the window being activated) but it continues to report the status of the keys at the time the focus was lost by the window (caps lock up, num lock up).sorry! i tried this in a JFrame windowActivated() and i got the desired result it breaks your senario.
    the only is though it is not sensing the keyStrokes but if window looses focus because of another window gains focus it changes the values when it get focus next by ne means.
    Provide a short executable code might be the problem lies there.

  • Satellite C55-A and Ubuntu - Caps Lock and Num Lock key leds always off

    I use Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 and Mate Desktop and LightDM. My Toshiba Laptop is Satellite C55-A-1JH (PSCG6E) model.
    Cap Lock and Num Lock is working , but their leds always is off.
    I don't find any Linux driver in Toshiba support web site.How I solve this problem?

    Hi. Are you sure this is a Linux-issue? Please try this: reboot the unit and press F12 several times when the Toshiba logo is shown. When the boot menu is shown try Caps and Num lock again.
    Same issue or not?

  • When backlight is off Caps Lock and Num Lock keys flicker slightly

    I recently noticed that on my very new MacBook when I leave the backlight to turn off, the caps lock and num lock lights flicker green. This is a very low level of light coming from it. Is anyone else having this problem and is it very serious?

    I doubt it means anything. You might consider leaving it like that for a while and then checking to see if your battery ran down like the computer was awake. Or you could close the lid. At least that way you don't have to see the flicker.
    If you said the lights flicker at full intensity, that might mean a loose connection or a bad resistor on a chip, etc.

  • Blinking Caps Lock and Num Lock Keys Lit after spilling water Macbook Pro.

    What does it mean when the caps lock and Num lock key blink, after spilling liquid on a Macbook Pro? Does this mean that liquid is still present? Also, the white light by the latch was blinking. What does this all mean?

    Possible liquid damage.
    Immediately disconnect all peripherals, power cord & remove the battery. Turn the computer over with the lid partly open and the hinge facing upward to let the liquid drain. Do not flop it over and lay it flat - you want to separate it from the moisture. Place paper or cloth towels under the machine to sop up the mess.
    After the computer disgorges whatever you spilled on it, don't turn it on for 72 hours or longer. You want to computer to dry out completely before turning it on again.
    Some users here swear by hairdryers. Blow drying the innards may bake whatever was in the liquid onto delicate computer components. Better to let the computer air dry.
    Use plain tepid water to clean out the computer. If you spilled iced beverage more than likely this ice fried the hot motherboard.
    Sugary, acidic or milky drinks will almost always cause problems later on as the residue starts slowly corroding the computer innards.
    Swab down any sticky parts with distilled water or denatured alcohol.
    If none of the above works, you will need to take the computer to a repair shop. Apple Care does not cover liquid or food damage. Believe me, they can tell. So the old "my computer stopped working" line is not going to work.

  • MacBook starts with caps lock and num lock ON

    From time to time after upgrading to Leopard, my caps lock and num lock lamps are lit after startup. However, all other keys work normally, caps lock and num lock are not actually turned on. Is there a way to avoid this misbehaviour?

    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?

  • OSD for the Caps Lock and Num Lock is not appearing.

    Hi all,
    I recently discovered that the Caps Lock and Num Lock OSD has stopped appearing when I activate/disactivate these functions. The functions still work, just that the notifications do not pop up.
    All the rest of the OSD notifications still DO work, like volume, ThinkLight, brightness, etc.
    I've checked the on-screen display settings in Control Panel and found that it set to 'enable' with fadeout at 3 seconds.
    I've turned it off and on to 'reset' it but to no avail.
    Help, please.
    Thanks in advance.

    They're not supposed to show up on T400's because the indicators exist as physical indicators on the lower bezel.

  • OSD indication for caps lock and num lock on Thinkpad Edge 540

    Hello !You may know that the Thinkpad Edge E series have a keyboard lacking the caps lock and num lock leds.On Windows, one can have an OSD display (temporary or permanent)  for these two indications.I still need to find something equivalent on Linux.So I ask : Is there a way to have such OSD on Linux ? If not, Mr Lenovo, could you port the Windows OSD on Linux ?Many thanks in advance for your answer. 

    I use "Keylocks Indicator" in OpenSUSE and Mint installations. Places a tell tale indicator in the system tray as well as provides on screen notification (pop up message). Check it out here... http://www.noobslab.com/2013/10/keylocks-indicator-for-ubuntulinux.html.

  • Re: what is difference between sap locking and database locking

    Hi Paluri
    Here is the difference between SAP locks and Database locks, i will try to find the solution to your code.
    Regards
    Ashish
    Database Locks: The database system automatically sets database locks when it receives change statements (INSERT, UPDATE, MODIFY, DELETE) from a program. Database locks are physical locks on the database entries affected by these statements. You can only set a lock for an existing database entry, since the lock mechanism uses a lock flag in the entry. These flags are automatically deleted in each database commit. This means that database locks can never be set for longer than a single database LUW; in other words, a single dialog step in an R/3 application program.
    Physical locks in the database system are therefore insufficient for the requirements of an R/3 transaction. Locks in the R/3 System must remain set for the duration of a whole SAP LUW, that is, over several dialog steps. They must also be capable of being handled by different work processes and even different application servers. Consequently, each lock must apply on all servers in that R/3 System.
    SAP Locks:
    To complement the SAP LUW concept, in which bundled database changes are made in a single database LUW, the R/3 System also contains a lock mechanism, fully independent of database locks, that allows you to set a lock that spans several dialog steps. These locks are known as SAP locks.
    The SAP lock concept is based on lock objects. Lock objects allow you to set an SAP lock for an entire application object. An application object consists of one or more entries in a database table, or entries from more than one database table that are linked using foreign key relationships.
    Before you can set an SAP lock in an ABAP program, you must first create a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary.
