HELP!! My Keyboard Doesn'tr Work

Ok, I blew the dust out of my keyboard and now it won't work!!! I can't do anything but the mouse works. is there anyway i can use KEY CAPS in utilities at login? You can on XP but i don't know about mac. HELP anybody , also i cleaned out the other keyboard i have and they won't work either! Help! I need to be able to use my computer tomorrow! I'm using a Dell latitude with XP and i miss mac!!

I am having a problem with both my keyboard and mouse. I have a graphite G4 and recently have to run disk warrior on i. I have had endless problems with this computer and even have a 2nd hardrive on it since it only came with a 10Gig. Needless to say it is all I have right now. I am running os x 10.2.2 on it and a few days after I recessitated it with disk warrior my keyboard and mouse suddenly went dead while I was on the internet. I tried pluging the two into different usb ports both on the tower and also into the flat panel mac display that it came with and nothing. I plugged in my wacom tablet and that works. i then tested the mouse and keyboard on my husband's dell laptop and they work. What do I do??????

  • Help: BB keyboard doesn't work correctly

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with my BB curve 8520. Yesterday the keyboard started to do strange things:
     when I'm writing text messages it skips some letters 
    it starts automatically to cancel all I have wrote without I have pushed "del"
    sometimes it automatically locks and no one key can remove the lock
    I already tried to remove and replace the battery but the problem still remain.
    Please  tell me if  there's a solution.

    Sometimes, the OS just get's corrupted...and reloading it clean is then the next step to try...
    At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/downloa​d_sites.jsp
    From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste​...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
    You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

  • 10.5.6 USB apple aluminum keyboard doesn't work...help!

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't work in Vista Ultmate?

    My Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't work (not response) on Vista Ultmate but its works properly in Mac OS X 10.5.2...

    this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

  • How can I do Safe Boot if keyboard doesn't work

    iMac frozen at restart and keyboard doesn't work.  Appreciate any ideas on how I can reboot.

    Do you have a wired or wireless keyboard?  If you have a wireless one, using a wired one temporarily might help with this.  Otherewise, it sounds like you have a hardware failure, possibly hard drive or logic board.  In any case I would then recommend taking it in for a Diagnosis and service.

    I have an iMac and my keyboard doesn't work. How can I fix it. Got it in 2011. Also my mouse is acting up

    What OS X are you running and do you have USB or Wireless input devices...?
    For wireless devices, take a look at > Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    USB keyboards and mice generally don't have connection issues, but they and there cords do occasionally go bad.

  • Problem with XP Pro sp1 install - keyboard doesn't work - MBP

    After using bootcamp to repartition the HD and rebooting with an xp pro sp1 cd, the blue windows installer loads and runs fine up to where you need to press the enter button to install windows or F3 to exit. At this point, the keyboard doesn't work at all and I have to push the power button. I also can not load osx or the osx boot disc, but the xp disc still loads fine. Currently working on slipstreaming a w/ sp2 to see if this will fix the problem. Prior to bootcamp, I upgraded osx and my firmware. Anyone else encounter this?

    You need to use SP2. There is a reason it's recommended by Apple. If you have a valid XP install disk you can easily slipstream it with SP2, which is perfectly legal and effective, and is a relatively painless process.

  • KEYBOARD DOESN'T WORK IN ALL JAVA APPS

    I think there are a bug with Java,
    but some keys of my French keyboard doesn't work with ALL Java APPS (Solaris Management console...), but work fine with all other apps.
    When I use Xsun, there are no problem, all keys work, but with Xorg, some keys doesn't work. (Only in Java Apps).
    I had got this bug with Sun Solaris 10 and Sun Solaris 11 (6/05 Express)
    This is a very nasty bug, I have got a PS/2 keyboard.

  • Italian keyboard doesn't work under the gui

    I have an italian keyboard on a x86 Solaris 10 installation.
    All the patch available using Sun Update applied but the keyboard doesn't work, it still works only as a USA keyboard.
    Forcing it as a Italian layout at startup (pressing esc and using the boot utility) make the keyboard work in the consolle with the correct layout but under the gui, after the dtlogin startup, the key doesn't work correctly. Every key is "shifted" of one position, so inserting "root" result in "eiir"
    Even applyng the 118966-08 patch as suggested doesn't work.
    Obiouvsly I used the gnome panel to set the correct keyboard under gnome but with no result
    Both the two type of italian keyboards don't work, the standard one and the 104 "ibm" italian layout.
    All this keyboards work fine on the same PC with both WindowsXP and Linux Ubuntu.
    Any suggestion to fix this ?

    The solution was to reconfigure the X-Server: In a console-window I called kdmconfig and corrected the keyboard settings: it was a US-Keyboard. Nobody knows ... At installation time I configured a german keyboard.
    A remaining problem is that my mouse and keyboard are connected via USB and they are frozzen after boot. First when I physicaly detach both and reconnect them they start working in an ordinary manner. I saw a forum entry which talked about BIOS-settings.

  • My MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't work to log in, but lets me type if I'm logged in as a guest. What do I do?

    My MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't work to log in, but lets me type if I'm logged in as a guest. What do I do?

    OK, some more info.
    I have re-installed os/x and applied all of the updates.
    I have tried to migrate my existing accounts and the problem consistently manifests as below:
    1. In a new user account, I can log in and use the keyboard then logout
    2. If I log in to the migrated user account, the non-numeric keys on the keyboard do not work. If I then log out, and try to log in to another account on the same machine, the non-numeric keys continue not to work.
    This would seem to suggest that as the profiles being migrated are on a machine with the same version of up to date OS/X, the issue lies with either the Macbook Pro (other people have also had keyboard problems) or with the migration assistant not working properly given that the current profiles work fine on another mac.
    Any more ideas anyone?
