Home Keys on Laptop not working sometimes

Good Day,
Our HP Pavilion G4-2013TX's keyboard acts up sometimes. The Home keys (i.e., A S D F J K L and semi colon) keys sometimes do not work. I just have to wait a bit or furiously press them to get them to work again.
The keys are working currently (this message is evidence.) I don't know how to invoke the error at the moment.
Please help. I've been getting instances that I need to have a good working keyboard but the homekeys don't cooperate. A Sort of troll, actually.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

  • HT201274 I went to General Reset Erase All Content & Settings - and now nothing works. I tried the advice on this forum, i.e., turn the phone off, connect to the white apple cable while pressing the home key. Still not working. What do I do?

    After i dod the above my ipone still does not work. It seems like all settings are gone. I tried the advice on one of the forums here which was turn the phone off, connect to the cable to the computer and not the phone, press the home button continously and connect the cable. Itunes at this point identified the phone and prompted to restore settings. It seemed to be doing something but now once I tried turning it on, its still not working.

    start iTunes,
    plug in your USB cable
    switch off your iPhone
    press holding home button(the round button in front of the Phone)
    plug it on to the USB cable
    keep holding the button
    till iTunes says it found a iPhone in recovery mode
    then click restore as a NEW iPhone
    then sync!?

    When normally powering the phone, there would not be a loading bar, you would just see the Apple logo. You can try a reset of the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
    You can take the phone to Apple, by making an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the hardware checked. Apple handles warranty and post-warranty issues, not Verizon. Have Apple look at the hardware to see if there are any problems.

    Hello momomhammed:
    I think you forgot to type in HP g6 1239as because I could not find HP g6 123sa. This is the only steps they give for your lat top. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01458194&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc​... I would do the reset direction first then do the update drives for it. To see if that fixes the issue. If it doesn't then yout computer needs repairing. frrw.

  • Numeric key pad is not working, card reader is not working

        Numeric key pad is not working, card reader is not working, 

    Did you (or someone else) physically open the laptop case?
    If you did, then some cables might have gone loose inside.
    If you didn't, for the card reader, check if appropriate device drivers are installed in windows device manager.
    for the numeric keypad, first tap once on the NUM LOCK key and check.
    If this doesn't solve the problem, boot to "Safe mode", and check.

  • How to fix my iPhone keys that will not work

    When I am using my iphone keyboard, the upper row Q thru P will not work. That is in verticle mode, when laid horizontally, the R will not work.
    On the number keys, the 4 will not work. The comma key also does not work. 
    I was told that a software restore could cure this.  Also, I tried to load the new version 7 software, hoping this might help.  But the Accept option would not work when accepting the TERMS from Apple.  It seems that only works in verticle so that whole row/area does not work.

    RESET DEVICE
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Appended Key figure is not working in Delta reverse record

    Dear All,
    I have enhanced 2LIS_11_VASCL datasource, to pull value from condition record, called Surchage.
    I have set reversal indicator for this field in my datasource. I have written code in CMOD to get this value from KONV table of that sales order.
    Now when value  is changed, delta record for this, automatically creates reversal record, but it shows new value of surcharge as negative, because that code is pulling value which currently exists in table.
    For example for order 350089 , if surchage is $ 100 .  User changes it to $200
    Then I get following record.
    Reversal Record  - $200 (This should be instead -$100 , i.e. previous value)
    New Record - $100.
    Because of this my new value is not getting updated in table.
    I can't use overwrite mode in ODS because some other technical reason.
    How can I solve this problem?
    appended Key figure is not working in Delta reverse record

    LIS have before-after delta. So ODS should be in Overwrite mode. If that is not possible.. try sorting the records in Start Routine such way that the - 100 $ is above the - 200 $ records in Data Package.
    but this is risky as it will affect other key figures for which things maybe fine. I guess you need take Data Package records in an internal table. And then sort this internal table. then you can read the internal table in update routine of this key figure.
    OR (If you are on BI 7.0) you introduce an InfoSource in between DS and DSO with Overwrite mode for this Key Figure.

  • In Flex application functionality is working sometimes and not working sometimes..

    Hi,
    Please help me on this..
    In my flex application some functionality is working some times and not working sometimes..

                   public function populateAllOEMCustomers(event:ResultEvent):void
              1)     var object_CustomerList:CustomerList = event.result as CustomerList; //Assigining result object values to Object reference variable.
              2)    var allOEMCustomersCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); //Declaration ArrayColliction referance variable.
             3)       var i:int=0;
             4)      var customerComboLabel:Label = new Label();
              5)      for (i = 0;i < object_CustomerList.arryCollCustName.length; i++)
                        var strCustName:String = object_CustomerList.arryCollCustName.getItemAt(i).toString();

    Hi Satya,
    This sometimes as in your case might not work as the way you have specified the RemoteClass attribute in your AS class. As somtimes there may be a case as before it is mapped to a server side you are returned the data and so that you may not get the data as your Custom class but as normal Object type.
    So in order to avoid this you can map the server side class to AS classes in the PreInitialize handler itself as shown below:
    Specify the preinitializeHandler in your main application and write the below function.This way also you can map AS classes with the server side. So that you will not have any problem referring your application as AS class types.
    You can use the same line for registering all the classes. By using this you can remove all the  [RemoteClass] attributes on all AS classes and include it at single place.
    preinitialize="onPreinitialize()"
    private function onPreinitialize():void
      registerClassAlias("com.expeditor.ScriptAdmin.Objects.CustomerList", CustomerList);
    Here in the above line of code the string in quotes refer to the namespace of the Server side class and the latter is your AS class. Also dont forget to import the namespace of the corresponding AS class in the file.
    Try this and let me know..
    Thanks,

    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    See if that makes a difference.

  • "access restrictions" did not work sometimes when using 3-tier DeskI.

    My customer found that "access restrictions" did not work sometimes when using 3-tier DeskI.
    But this issue can be solved by logging on from another machine, or restarting the DeskI.
    For I can reproduce this issue, so I just want to know that:
    1.What is it probably related to?
    2.If this issue happens again, what can I suggest my customer for tracking it?
      For example, get some log files from servers etc.
    Thanks!

    Hi Sarah,
    Also you can try the following solution.
    1. Import the universe.
    2. Go to manage access restrictions
    3. Remove the restriction .
    4. Again create the rescrition and unchecked the " limit size of result set to"
    5. Now assign it to the unlimited results group ( this is the name of
    the group we have given to those users who should be able to retrieve
    more than X rows)
    6. Now we save the universe. (Dont export the universe).
    I hope this will help you.

  • I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys that are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys.  What's really weird is that happens randomly.  I've never spilled anything on it

    I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys.  What's really weird is that happens randomly.  I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this.  Can anyone help?  of course this happened after my warranty expired.

    **update**
    I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose.  In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!).  Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind.  I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store.  But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working. 
    So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off.  Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
    Hopefully this might help someone.
