Down arrow key not operating

Is there a fix that a novice can do.

The easiest solution would be to buy a replacement keyboard or use an external USB keyboard when you need to use the arrow keys. You can find a used keyboard on eBay pretty cheap these days. I just picked one up for a HP G50 for a mere $8 after shipping. Generally there is no way to fix these keyboards if there is a problem in the ribbon cables. Good luck!

Up and Down Arrow Keys Not Working

I have had the HP Pavilion g6t-1b00 CTO Notebook PC for a year or two now. I've been having a couple of problems with internet connectivity and putting my computer on "sleep".
However, few days ago, my keyboard randomly started acting weirdly. When I would try to type certain letter/numbers, they would come out differently.
Ex. pressing the space bar would show up " ./M" instead
I tried restarting my computer many times and installed a BiOS update which fixed all of my issues except for my up and down arrow keys. As of now, they have no function; I can't scroll with them and they don't seem to be taking on the role of another key. I have tried using the keys on different programs. Using the touch pad to scroll works but I still can't use the up and down keys.
Is there anyway to get the up and down arrow keys to work again?
This question was solved.

Hello Larasoft,
I understand you’re up and down arrow keys are not functioning, is that accurate? I will do all I can to help you with this issue.
I want you to access the setup menu to test the keys out, see instructions below.
1.       Shut down the computer.
2.       Locate the F10 key across the top.
3.       When you turn the computer back on immediately start tapping the F10 key repeatedly.
4.       If successful you should be on setup utility screen. What’s different about this is you can only use you arrow keys to navigate.
5.       Try working the arrow keys up and down on different menus and see if they work.
6.       Once you tested it press F9 to setup defaults and then press F10 to save and exit.

Up and Down Arrow Keys Not Functioning in CS2 for Windows

A little over 6 months ago I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Windows XP and installed it on my work PC and my home PC. Everything works fine and dandy on my work PC, however when I try to do some editting on my home PC there are some quirks that I can't figure out. The main thing is that my Up/Down Arrow Keys do absolutely nothing. Whether I am trying to edit text and scroll through my fonts or if I'm trying to nudge a part of a picture, the Arrow keys do nothing.
Does anybody have any suggestions for me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

>but that's beside the point.
it's not. what you describe is typical behavior of a high quality cracked version that's been floating around. a great copy with shrink wrap, nice manuals, etc. but you've been burned. usually the discs are stamped "made in singapore".

HP Pavilion dv8t-1000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC - DOWN ARROW KEY NOT WORKING

Down arrow key doesn't work.
It has to be "warmed -up" by holding it down for like 15-20mins and then it intermittently works.
Suspect a pinched keyboard circuitry....
ANY SOLUTIONS WELCOME

Up/Down Arrow keys do not perform their function on SOME websites or at SOME times, on other websites and at other times these keys work fine, updated firefox, restarted computer. turned off cursor key option in Advanced tab, using autoscrolling option.

How change the sort order of searched items so last search item shows first. I DO NOT mean the order of search engines, but existing searches by down arrow key

I want to be able to change the sort order of items I have already searched for in the search box. I want to be able to hit the down arrow key and see my previous searches in the order of last search showing first. At the moment I have no idea how it is sorting and it's very annoying to have to re-type a query I typed 5 minutes earlier but because I typed in another 10 since it is lost somewhere in the list. Can this be done, I have googled but did not find the topic anywhere. Just to clarify, I DO NOT MEAN the order of search engines (which is all that comes up in google), I mean the actual text typed in which has been saved in the drop down list.
Thanks

The "form fill" feature uses a "frecency" algorithm, frequency + recency, similar to the address bar autocomplete list.
I found an extension that seems relevant, but the reviews are old so I'm not sure it's still working: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchbar-autocomplete-order/ Searchbar Autocomplete Order].
But... is the autocomplete not working? I would expect that typing a couple characters of the earlier query would filter the list so you can easily select it? Or is the problem that the list doesn't remember enough searches for that?

HT201321 Numbers pad 4 5 6 and the up down arrow key quit working. I swithched keybouards (Both are Apple, and still have the same problem, its not hardware.)

The 4 5 6 keys and the up down arrows do not work.
I had the Cap C off for a While Had hit some key command
that shut it off so I got a new keyboard and it did the same.
HAs anyone had this problem

Does the problem happen if you reboot the system into Safe Mode by holding the Shift key at startup?
Additionally, does the problem happen if you create a new user account in the Users & Groups system preferences and log into that?

How to implement JSF text input down-arrow key = next record navigation?

Hi All,
I've got a small query which you experts might be able to help me through. I would not be surprised if such questions would already have been raised in this forum.
Formerly, I've created an Oracle Form that allow user to quickly insert data in bulk. It only has three 3 fields - first name, second name and address. Because of the flexibility of the Oracle Form, by pressing the down arrow key, user is able to create record when the last record is detected. And vice versa by hitting the up arrow key, it will move to the previous record when the current record is not the first record. So basically, the form is very 'key-driven' and without the use of the mouse, a lot of data can be inserted very quickly and efficiently.
I've successfully converted such form to an ADF BC JSF page using the JHeadstart toolkit. But when I showed it to my users for comment, they were really disappointed with the number of mouse interactions they need to click every time to navigate between records as well as creating new records. My question is can I build some sort of ADF JSF event handler on any of the text items to perform the following tasks:
1.) When 'down arrow key' is pressed AND not the last record THEN
Go to the next record.
2.) When 'down arrow key' is pressed AND is the last record THEN
Go to the next blank record.
3.) When 'up arrow key' is pressed AND not the first record THEN
Go to the previous record.
4.) When 'up arrow key' is pressed AND is the first record THEN
Do nothing.
If all the four above tasks are achievable in ADF JSF, can you please guide and brief me on the steps to implement them. Or these functionalities are already available somewhere in other open source toolkits. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you and have a nice day.
Kind Regards,
John

Hi Steven,
I've tried to incoporated attached link's codes with the JHeadstart generated code inside the jspx but I still cannot get it to work. There is a lot of Javascript error and is impossible to debug.

Scrolling down a pdf with the down arrow key ...

Hello,
I have a 20 page newsletter pdf with about 12 articles. At the top of the first page there's our text logo, and just below it is a table of contents compiled using table of contents styles (btw this pdf was compiled in Indesign 5.5) and just below that is the first article, then below that, the second.. and so on. At the bottom of each page there's a "return to the table of contents" button that shoots the reader back up to the TOC on the first page when clicked, in addition to a page number. There is also a header with the name of the publication and issue number..
the problem I'm having is, when scrolling through the first article on the first page with the down arrow key, once I get to the bottom of the first page, the cursor then shoots back up to the table of contents. WHat I would like it to do is just scroll down to the next page. Once I get to the bottom of the first page the second time, the cursor jumps down to the bottom of the second page, straight to the page number, a few more taps of the down arrow key takes the cursor up to the header on page 2
I'd like the down arrow scrolling to just go through the articles and skip the page numbers and other header/footer items. Any thoughts? Should I take my question to the InDesign forums? Thanks in advanced

That behavior is controlled when Scrolling is selected from the Page Display Toolbar.
You might want it defined in the Document Properties > Initial View, but I am not certain if it is a choice. Experiment with the options.
I am not familair with Javascript in pdf, but that might set the control.

Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content? I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll.

Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content? I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll. I am able to use my mouse to scroll through internet searches. It only seems to have affected my email messages.

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Down arrow key :Tableview Navigation

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement that I want to use the down and up arrow to navigate in particular column of a tableview.
For eg i want to use the up and down arrow key for filling quantities in the sales order items table.Can you please suggest the solution or give some pointers.The tableview as u all know is of ' chtmlb '.
Thanks,
Ashish.

Hi Ashish,
I often wondered why nobody asked about this one. At least I am missing it, too.
Sadly I do not know a solution for this one. The only pointer I can give you is that it might be possible using javascript. You would have to use the DOM and the ID of the field to add some custom logic to it.
Maybe you have got some spare time and can experiment on this. My JS knowledge is limited. Thus I can not help any further.
cheers Carsten

Down arrow key won't work

Hello!
Here is my situation:
I'm working in a Flash-based courseware environment.
Basically, has anyone encounted a situation where the down arrow key (or any key for that matter) will work on someones computer, and not work on someone elses computer? We use various methods to navigate through our courseware, most of which are clicks, but the down arrow key is used fairly often. But unfortunately, despite our best efforts, this key often does not work on clients computers. We've tried swapping out different keyboards, no luck.
We do not have the source files for the Flash, it is auto-generated by the tool we are using (which is similar to captivate, camtasia, etc).
Any thoughts?

Are you using the same browser consistently throughout testing? Sometimes browsers are the issue for such problems and not the hardware itself

Oracle 10g and JAWS -- use of Up and Down Arrow keys

We are in the process of converting an Oracle 6i application to 10g and applying Accessibility standards to our application so that it will work with the JAWS screen reader.
The version of JAWS we are using is 7.10.452 Unicode, The Java Access Bridge version required is version 1.2.
THis problem manifests itself when using the UP and Down arrow keys to move between rows in a mutli-record screen.
The problem is that on using either the Up or Down key JAWS read the content of the current field before moving to the new record and announcing the prompt and content.
Has any one got any solution to this.
