Gs 70 keyboard issue. Help please.

     So I just ordered a Gs70 and received it yesterday. Turn it on and start setting it up at which point I noticed that my C, F, R, backspace, delete, and probably a few other unknown keys were not working. So I just decide to update my Nvidia drivers and boom, all my keys are working fine again. 5 minutes later those same keys stop working again.
    Now I start snooping around online and try an EC reset. Keys are working again, then 5 minutes later, they stop, again. So I leave and go out for a few hours, come back and wake up the computer. Keys work fine, this time for about a half hour, then stop again. I feel like this cant be a full blown malfunctioning keyboard because they work sometimes, and its not a matter of smashing the keys hard. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Maybe drivers or some other idea?

I got my new GS70 yesterday and I have the exact same problem.
Some keys stops working and sometimes it works like you said for about 30 minutes and then they stop working.
Most of the times it's key 1-5 (not numpad), Alt Gr, arrow keys and Tab that stops working.

  • Macbook keyboard issues help please.

    I have a issue with my macbook keyboard. As sometimes it will miss out on the first letter that i type and i hate it doing that. I have applied the update that was suppose to fix this problem but it still does this occasionally.
    Do any of you have suggestions, do i have uninstall the keyboard update then re-apply it again if so how do you do it.
    I just got this machine back from being repaired and i do not want to take it back to be repaired. It took them weeks to fix it and they lost the macbook, then found it a few days later and they are a nightmare, they only started to fix the problem 2 weeks after i brought it in and that was only because i kept calling them.
    Thanks,

    I have already installed the keyboard update and it has fixed most of the issues but i still get the first button press not always being recognized.
    Any other suggestions

  • Hello.I wanted to upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1 Over the Air.I was running iOS 5.0.1.It said it had an error connecting to server.It is already 5 hours i cant install this update.I also have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 with the same issues.Help please!

    You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
    I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
    If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

  • N8 wlan and hard reset issues, help please

    Have a nokia N8, after installing Connectivity analyser beta from beta labs, my wifi reception has become very poor. i ave a wireless N router and before this date the signal was very strong. my friend has an N8 also, he tested the rooms i was having signal issues to see if the router was the problem, however he had excellent signal, leading me to think it was my phone. i uninstalled the app and he weak signal remained, i did a factory reset and the problem remeained, i did a hard reset and the problem is still there, I now have the added problem of no Ovi Suite and other Qt related app issues. Help please, this is really annoying. btw this is my second N8, really getting annoyed at Nokia now. any further specs, please ask

    As synth_fg rightly points out it takes quite a bit of tinkering to recover from "hard reset" on N8. To give you an idea what would be involved:-
    Download from Ovi Store website the sis installer of WordPress and install it on phone (wordpress install also Nokia Smart Install and all QT and PIPS components)
    Launch Ovi Store on phone: which will download the .sis installer and should work without any error
    Reinstall Social_1_2_update.sisx from here: http://nmota.messaging.nokia.com/clients/Social_1_​2_update.sisx
    At this point you are still without OVI Maps but you can install v3.06 pre-release from Nokia Beta Labs: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-306 which will allow you to pinch to zoom on your N8

    Hi Sherry-
    Thanks for the info - Just a brief history on my problem.
    I was trying to open an application on the mac and it froze - nothing would work. I powered down at the surge protector. restarted to have the mac hang on the grey screen with the apple. Let it sit for 15 min with nothing. Called and apple dealer near us and was told to reinstall the OS. I had to do an archive & install. I think I had 10.3.9 but the system cds were 10.3.1 or something like that. So reinstalled and you know where I am. SO, should I still restore the netinfo data base? Will this effect my network with others. I back up my HD to another mac at night and vicea versa.
    Thoughts.....
    Thanks for your help!

  • Broken keyboard! Help please

    I recently bought a Blackberry 8900 off of Craigslist about a month ago. Everything has been working perfectly up until 2 days ago when my keyboard stopped working. I dropped the phone in wet grass and think that may have something to do with it but the keyboard wont do anything. When I take the battery out and put it in again the phone will start up fine and my home screen will come up but I cant push any buttons to access the phone. When I plug in the phone, it will come up as charging but other than that its useless. Since I bought it off craigslist, Im unsure if the manufacturers warranty is still on it(waiting for a reply from the person I bought it from) and I was just wondering if there was anything I could try to fix it.
    Thanks!

  • MSI GT780DX Serious keyboard issue - Help Needed

    Hello everyone,
    I have an MSI GT780DX and a few months ago it started to fail the x key when I pressed it...
    After sometime it started failing the W key...
    Then it was the arrow down key...
    So I bought another keyboard and I managed to install it in place, the led lights worked just fine but I'm with a terrible issue now.
    The keys are all wrong, for example the space bar = backspace when I press it, the a = ; the  j=l and so on... all the keys are mixed up...
    Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?
    My notebook is the msi gt780dx with Win 7 (its the original Win7 that came with the notebook)... The new keyboard has the same part number but its symbol for the windows key is different (it's the Win 8 logo)
    Please any help would be gladly appreciated.
    Best Regards.

    Hi I tried resetting the EC and no change...
    Then I try installing Win 8  but at the serial number screen the keys are already messed up...
    Tried with ubuntu also and the same.
    I'm assuming its not an OS related problem...
    And yes, warranty was already off when I switched the keyboards.
    Any other ideas?
    Does anyone also know where can I find a Win7 keyboard for this notebook?
    I'm running out of options...

  • 64-bit Smart View + Excel 2010 64-bit Issues - Help Please

    Hello everyone.
    First, I am not an "IT guy" so please bare with me as I am not technical but need help.
    I am running Windows 7 64-bit Professional and Excel 2010 64-bit. I installed Oracle Smart View for Office, Fusion Edition 64-bit as an add-in within Excel.
    I have worked with our "Hyperion Admins" to connect to the right server so that my "private connections" are set correctly (hopefully that makes sense).
    However, when I attempt to refresh my Smart View query I end-up retrieving no data. The "refresh" button under "Smart View" in Excel will proceed as a refresh is occurring but then not return data (I know this Smart View template works as I've used it many times on 32-bit Excel).
    Our admins have informed me that I cannot use 64-bit Smart View because our "server" is on a 32-bit O/S (or something similar to that). To me, the logic doesn't make sense and I'm hoping that there is a solution the admins are not aware of.
    Happy to answer any questions and appreciate any help.

    Symptoms
    When using Smart View (SV) with Microsoft Office 2010 SP1 some SV functions do not work or cause Excel application to crash.
    Cause
    In 64-bit versions of Excel 2010 SP1, the presence of Smart View functions may cause Excel to terminate abruptly and may prevent Copy Data Point and Paste Data Point functions from working. This has been identified as a defect in Microsoft product.
    Solution
    Use the 32-bit version of Smart View until Microsoft issues fix for their 64-bit Office products.

  • Compressor is having filter issues, help please!

    Hi, please help if you have seen this problem or know how to fix... and thanks in advance!
    I am exporting a QT to Compressor, and put a Noise Reduction filter on the file... But when I submit the export, an error message pops up:
    Unable to Load Effects
    The following effects could not be loaded:
    Noise Reduction
    These effects will not be applied. Please install the appropriate effects and re-open the project.
    I haven't deleted anything, especially not these type of filters... I hope Compressor isn't corrupted or something. And it especially heartbreaking, since this is the LAST step of a 2 month DVD project!
    Anyway, I'm praying someone knows the solution, or a way to re-install the filters... my software is far away at the moment!
    Thanks.

    Ouch. I believe your only option is to reinstall Compressor (since something within the program's code is hosed).
    Since you don't have your discs accessible, your best bet is to go to the FCS download site and manually install the Pro Applications Update 2008-05 package. You'll need your FSC serial number handy (should be able to find that in the About window of any of the FCS apps. For instance: Compresor > About Compressor, from the menubar)
    Just one caveat: in case you weren't on the latest updates (we all have our reasons for not upgrading) this will update your system. So please be mindful of any OS X/QT compatibility issues. Not mention bumping up the versions of your apps in this whole process.
    But this is only an educated guess. Never come across this myself.

  • Questions about interfaces,monitors,keyboards,cables help please

    I just bought a macbook pro 1.87ghz. w/ 1 gb I would like to record music primararly acoustic stuff (john mayer type stuff) I was wondering what types of
    interfaces or keyboards, mics, monitors, cables ,should I buy to get the most professional sound with. I have a budget of about 1200.00 I want to spend any recommendations? Please Help I appreciate your time:)

    What I would probably go with in this situation, using the limited information you have given:
    Interface - Presonus Firebox $300
    Keyboard - M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2 $150
    Mics - Studio Projects B1 and C1 $300
    Monitors - Event ALP5 $300
    (really would depend on whatever small monitor sounds best to you)
    Cables (firewire, usb, mic, stands, etc.) - $100
    Now you will probably get as many different answers as you will responders but the best advice I can give is to read everything you can on recording and mixing. During this time, save up another $800 or so and treat your recording and mixing area.

  • ITunes-iPhone music syncing issue, HELP PLEASE!

    Hi, after having some hardware issues with my iPhone 5, Apple replaced it with a new one.
    I restored everything from my iCloud backup with no problem and it downloaded all of my iTunes Store songs on the phone without any issues and as I plugged my phone into my 2010 MacBook Pro to put some new songs to it from a CD I just bought, ALL of the songs that I have on my phone that I bought from the iTunes Store were duplicated as grey 'ready to sync' songs. But they were not syncing. So I deleted all music and videos from my phone (by the way, I always use the Manually manage songs and videos function in all my devices, never did auto-sync) thinking maybe if i drag everything from my computer it'll change, but it won't! Whenever I click on 'sync', the grey songs appear. And the grey songs are only the songs that were bought from the iTunes Store and the songs I used to have on the other iPhone, that are in the iCloud backup. I've tried almost eveything for the past 3 days and finally gave up and decided to ask for help. If anyone can help me i'll be extremely grateful, thanks.
    My iPhone 5 is running on iOS 7.0.6 and 11.1.4 on iTunes
    ps: Please feel free to ask anything if I didn't explain it too clearly, English is not my main language.

    Im unable to assist you with the mac/mail side of the house. If you had outlook then I could assist. My thougts would be...With your phone plugged into iTunes, go to the second tab and confirm that you have contacts checked to sync between your computer/phone...if you don't then it will just transfer all your 0's and 1's to digi land. Contacts and calenders sync with your calender software, iTunes is just the conduit to get it there. I would also recommend that when you get your contacts back on your computer that you create a backup file in case this happens again, then you can just restore it. Hope this all helps.
    Good Luck

  • Hi I have copied over my iTunes to a new PC and now there are songs missing and when try to re download on iTunes it says play. When you hit play it sends you off to search for a file that doesn't exist. When syncing it says 100 issues Help please

    Hi,
    I have just put my iTunes on a new laptop by hard drive method and some songs are not there. When I go into iTunes it's doesn't say download or purchase it says play.
    So you press play and it opens a separate box saying search for file which isn't there.
    I have read tons of stuff re this but still not got it fixed. It's not a HD issue because iTunes won't let me download it why ?
    Hopefully someone can help
    Thanks David

    Hey Davidl678,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
    Thanks,

  • TreeMap class and message not understood issues - help please

    Can anyone help with this one please?
    The code is the start of a Map interface/TreeMap class to hold names as keys and addresses as values (both Strings).
    I think the instance variable and the constructor are correct, but the addAddress method throws an error
    Semantic error: Message addAddress( java.lang.String, java.lang.String ) not understood by class'java.util.TreeMap'.
    I can only guess that I've overlooked something quite simple? The line at the end of the code should read
    "Replaced "old address" with "new address" for "new name" and this should only display if the key already exists in the Map,
    hence the if statement. The keys and values have been declared as Objects for future flexibility. Sorry if this is all blatantly obvious.
    Also if I wanted to test this code and create an instance of the Addressbook class, what should my code look like?
    Many thanks.
    {code}import java.util.*;
    public class Addressbook
    private static Map<Object, Object> addresses;
    public Addressbook()
    super();
    this.addresses = new TreeMap<Object, Object>();
    public static void addAddress(String name, String address)
    if (addresses.containsKey(name))
    addresses.put(name, address);
    System.out.println("Replacing " + addresses.remove(name) + " with "
    + addresses.get(name) + " for " + name);
    else
    addresses.put(name, address);
    {code}

    If you're only going to store Strings in the Map, make sure you are specifying them as generics so that all operations return Strings by default.
    You don't need to use contains if you are going to replace a map value. The old value will be returned when you place the new one in. Should be quicker, since you're not searching for the same key twice.
    Do not refer to a static variable with this. it become confusing and could result in bugs. That said use static sparingly.
    The AddressBook should probably be an instance and all the variables and methods should be instance variable and methods.
    I don't know your requirements however so I'll leave this as a suggestion.
    import java.util.*;
    public class AddressBook {
       private static Map<String, String> addresses = new TreeMap<String, String>();
       public static void addAddress(String name, String address) {
          String oldAddress = addresses.put(name, address);
          if(oldAddress != null) {
                System.out.printf("Replacing %s with %s for %s%n", oldAddress, address, name);
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            addAddress("me", "123");
            addAddress("me", "321");
    }Brushfire,
