Equim A210 - Keyboard not working right

Had major problems with laptop, so did a full rebbot with repair disc, but now laptop keyboard isn't working right.
If i type the letter O i get LO, and if i type the letter L i get OL, the letter E acts just as the enter button does, and if i press I i get KI.
I have read about the functions of The FN key etc, and have to admit that i messed around with the FN + several other combinations, and was wondering if i now have the settings incorrectly set or could it be something more sinister?
i have mcafee which has not detected any spyware or virus, and the system has been reset to factory conditions and all else works as per normal?
Any ideas anyone?

Hi
I doubt this could be a matter of wrong setting.
If you would enable something on the keyboard which should not be enabled then you would get another sign but not double letter ?:|
In my opinion its a keyboard issue Possibly something wrong with the hardware
Could you check if the same happens using different applications; Word, Wordpad, Editor, etc.
If the same keyboard behavior would persist using different software then this would be related to the hardware (keyboard issue.)

It's the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop Elements 9 and I'm trying to get the background and make it another layer so I can even out the color of the background then bring down the transparency. Not sure if that makes sense. I'm new to this.... Sometimes the area it will grab can go ...not fast.. but not slow. Sometimes it's like it's just messed up and literally takes 30 seconds to process each move. I rebooted my computer and re opened it and it helped a little. It's not clear what causes it when it messes up and when it doesn't. Just frustrating. It's probably user error because I'm so new at Photoshop. Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.

Keyboard not working right since 4.3

SInce I upgraded to 4.3 the keyboard doesn't always work correctly. When I go in to send a text or email the keyboard highlights as I type, as though it is registering, but it doesn't put any letters where the cursor is. If I hit the home button and go out and back in, it generally works. I upgraded to 4.3.1 hoping it would help and it hasn't. Is anyone else having this issue? (I looked through 15 pages and couldn't find a similar topic) Any ideas on how to fix it?

To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

My keyboard does not work right how can i fix it

I have the iphone4 I bought from Verizon about 2 months ago and now my key board will not work right how do I fix this? I have tried to reset factory settings and all of that but it did not work! If I can not fix it my self will Verizon send me a new one ?

That's a very important component of your phone, tiffanymoyle. Let's see what we can do to get your keyboard back up and running correctly. What issues are you encountering with the keyboard? Do certain letters not register when pressed? Does it make a difference if you turn your phone to function in landscape mode?

Safari 5.1.2 Not working right after install

Hi, after installing the update for Snow Leopard safari is not working right. Some pages don't load, and other don't load correctly.
I have to keep hitting refresh two or three times. Also thunbnails are not displaying. Even the apple page comes up looking buggy.
Please help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in as yourself. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t work in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC - Keyboard not working

HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC - Keyboard not working
My Windows 8 - 64 bit laptop keyboard stopped working. I tried to uninstall and reinstall as explained in the support pages. but doesn't seem to work. Is it dead? what is the solution. Please help
Thank you

Hi,
While this could be a hardware issue, it's always worth trying the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand Keyboards, right click the entry 'Standard PS/2 Keyboard' and select Uninstall.
Shutdown the notebook.
Then unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Note: If the keyboard doesn't work when trying to access or navigate the Bios Menu, then this is probably a hardware fault.

[SOLVED] Xorg and keyboard not working after upgrade.

Just my 1.46¢
You're right, problem wasn't actually solved. In fact, yesterday I upgraded the whole system again and the same problem showed up, but I got it fixed.
Same scenario: after a boot (shorter than usual), what I had was a tty, but I noticed something that I hadn't noticed the last time: the prompt said "Arch Linux 3.11.[?]".
The kernel version was supposed to be 3.12.[?] so I started investigating and after several attempts, this is how I got the system working again:
1. Chrooted into the system
2. Wiped /boot
3. Re-installed grub
4. Re-installed linux kernel
5. Re-created grub.cfg
6. ???
7. Profit
I'm pretty sure that what originated the problem wasn't a "kernel issue" as I pointed out in my previous post, but it was an incorrect installation of grub: in fact, the grub prompt never showed up before yesterday, the system used to boot straight, ignoring the 5 seconds timeout.

Keys on keyboard not working.

Greetings all, we are having trouble with several keys on our keyboard not working. First it started with the ENTER (non numpad) key not working, shortly followed by the TAB and CAPS LOCK key.
Any clues as to what caused this and how to fix it? It's the keyboard that came with the iMac. I've already tried unplugging it and plugging it back in.
Thanks.

None of my left-hand-side modifier keys work (escape button right down to the control button)... problem started when i was using adobe indesign cs3 and now those keys work in any program.
I am having a similar problem, although in my case these keys do not work in conjunction with the "W" key. For example, command-W only works with the right-hand command key, and to turn "w" into "W" I must use the shift key on the right-hand side as well. This machine is less than a week old, and I have Adobe CS2 installed. Have you found any soulutions?

Remote not working right

I've had my FIOS about 2 months, put new batteries in remote and it is still not working right. Some things work fine. Other things stopped working - can't delete a DVR show, can't change channels with one digit, but it will if I add all 4 digits, info box on bottom of screen never disappears (unless I hit exit). What's wrong?
My second TV set-up is OK.

Might not even be a remote issue. Have you tried rebooting the box?
If you do think it's the remote it's still under warranty.
You can get a free replacement easy within the dvr's menu.
Here is a page that tells you ways to get a replacement.

Get a new remote and if you still have the same issues then you'll know its the dvr that needs to be replaced.

Is there any way to redownload iOS 5 my iPod touch 4 th generation white 32 gig is not working right?

My iPod is not working right. It's slow and lags and just doesn't work and always exits apps. I was if there was any way to redownload ios5 because it does the same things after I've reset about 4 times. Please help! It's even lagging why I am typing this. The thing that I checked below are all of the things that are not working on my iPod.

You cannot reinstall iOS without doing a restore. But you might first try a software update. If you have iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1, you can update to iOS 5.1 by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

IPad 2 was updated to latest iOS 7 and has been not working right since. I have tried to do a restore but still continues to go into reboot mode by itself and very erratic. Can no longer trust it. I tried to complain to Apple but have to give them 20 buck

iPad has not worked right since it updated to latest software. Tried to question Apple about it but it costs 20 bucks just to lodge a complaint. Is this normal Apple behavior or am I missing something. Also anyone else having issues with upgrade to iOS7. It was working great until that point and now goes into reboot mode often and sometimes will continuously reboot several times. I have tried to restore but that didn't clear the problem. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
