How to fix mix of buttons on USB keyboard?

Hi
Today I experienced a non-serious, but annoying error with my USB-keyboard.
There's two buttons mixed up; ' and <, so whenever I press <, my mac types ' and vice versa.
The problem is not present at the keyboard on my macbook, but on every USB keyboard I try to connect.
Any ideas for a fix?

> I have a number key that "sticks".
> Seems as if the spring is no longer working.
> Does anyone know of a way to fix this without having to purchase a new keyboard?
I think you will need new keyboard because its not possible to replace the single buttons
You can remove the single key caps but you can not remove the button
Im afraid; you will need to purchase a new keyboard and then could replace this
The keyboard replacement is not really tricky. Two screws secure the keyboard.
Both screws are hidden under the thin plastic cover above the F1-F12 button row
If you would remove the plastic cover and the both screw then you would be able to lift out the keyboard but be careful, the keyboard is connected to the motherboard with an flat cable

    Hi cwether9!
    I have an article that can help you troubleshoot that issue. The article is all about iPhone hardware troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Specifically, the section you will want to reference is right here:
    Buttons and Switches
    Sleep/Wake button will not lock or unlock iPhone
    To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
    To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
    If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    If the iPhone will not power off, reset it.
    Try to lock or unlock the phone.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • How to fix computer freeze with external USB drive attached

    Hi, My computer has frozen a few times lately when my external drive was hooked in, mostly to upload music to Itunes on my MacBook Air.  Anyone know what's happening and how to fix it?
    Thanks
    Peggy ;~)

    the image isnt just 1 big file
    its got a bunch of files
    som .ini configuration files here and there
    the trick is to find which files controls the directory to start loading from
    and change the waiting for f:
    to waiting for anything else
    external ODD, flash drive, or anything other than the internal ODD cuz its broken
    the files on the disc are
    recovery disc+
    .....boot+
    ..............fonts
    ..............bcd
    ..............boot.sdi
    ...................eftsboot.exe
    ......efi+
    .................microsoft+

    ....06466XSP5.SWM
    ....06466XV1.CRC
    ....bootmgr
    ....Setenv.ini
    im know im not super computer expert but as far as my knowledge goes its probably 1 of thos xxx.ini files cuz usually contain settings and stuff like that
    they are easy to open with notepad and easy to just change one of them and burn a new disc with the corrected file
    i just need someone to help me figure out which one to change and what to change it to the rest is easy

  • How can I re-recognize a misconfigurated usb keyboard?

    I got a new USB Keyboard for my Macbook pro for work. I connected and the sistem asked me to press the key next to the left shif key, instead of pressin the "<" key, I press the "z" key next to it (this is so embarrasing ).
    I took the keyboard home and connected it to my personal Macbook pro where I press the correct key and there was no problem.
    How can I fix this? How can I re-recognize the keyboard... I'm a front-end designer and no having the "<" key where it should be is really frustrating.
    Thanks In Advanced...

  • How do you mix channels with premobile USB & GB?

    ok, admitted recording newbie here, and i'm stumped, is there a way to get stereo on mixed vocal/guitar using a 2006 model M Audio Premobile USB with Garage band 3.04 (on Intel G5 iMac, OS 10.4.11)?
    I am trying to record vocal from a dynamic AKG mic, and guitar from a regular 1/4" guitar cord. As the M audio manual suggests, i have the mic to the Channel 1 mic input and the guitar cord to the Channel 2 instrument input (which is the only 1/4" input on this model).
    But all this does is give me vocal on the left channel and guitar on the right, in one track in GB. Natch, that sounds odd on playback- only vocal comes out of one speaker, only guitar comes out of the other.
    How the heck do i work with two inputs and get stereo/both channels? And/or have the guitar going to one track in GB and the vocal to another, both in stereo?
    Or do i need a multi-track interface and/or a more pro program than GB? (i do have GB '08 i could install)
    the only stereo 1/8th" input mic i have really isn't good enuf quality to use for what i have in mind, & room mic doesn't do well with my vocal.
    help....

    What hardware/software setup do i need to record {...} just vocal and pickup-equipped acoustic guitar, with guitar and vocal recorded at same time? Preferably as separate tracks, which it appears this premobile does not do (?).
    the mobile pre will work fine, assign one channel to one track, and the other channel to another track
    I do also have what i think is a condenser-type mic (marshall mxl 990) around here somewhere.
    find it, a condenser is always my choice for studio vocal work (it would also be my choice for recording an acoustic, actually)
    What's the best bet?
    equipment-wise, you're all set, the rest is up to you learning recording and mixing technique to make it all sound good. i would suggest doing some web searches on things like "recording technique", "mixing and mastering", etc. there are many (as in more than one would want to count) pages of information on recording.

  • How to fix my lock button?

    my lock button is loose and jammed i cant turn my phone off or even lock it. i cant afford a new phone and i dont have a warrenty either on my phone. what can i do?

    As a rule, Apple does not repair phones. They replace them. An out of warranty replacement for an iPhone 4 is $149. It wouldn't hurt to make an appointment at the genius bar. They may tell you they can fix it, but don't be surprised if they say you need a replacement.
    Or you could try a 3rd party repair service.

    IF the Superdrive is plugged into the iMac USB port, the keyboard USB port indicates that there is not enough power for the thumb drive or other device.  If the Superdrive is unplugged, all is well on the keyboard USB port.
    Any fixes for this?

    Hi there, I have the same problem on a 27" iMac: when the superdrive is connected to a USB port on the Mac, the USB ports on the keyboard seem to lose all power, even for a USB key.
    I called Apple and they told me to reset SMC, PRAM and VRAM but to no avail.
    I will try with another keyboard as they seem to say it could be a keyboard problem (which a very much doubt...)

    Tried once.
    About a year ago. Got an answer like "Google should fix their bugs themselves".
    Should try another one time.
    Is there any workaround? I can't be the only person with this problem.
    Here is a testcase application: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8422244/ADF/ToolbarButtonsApp.zip
    In Google Chrome right-hand toolbar buttons get hidden after table row selection or left links click (on PPR).
    Found the answer at once. ADF conflicts with Chrome AdBlock extension.

  • How to fix the firefox buttons not displaying correctly (i.e. the "save file" button when trying to install an add on)?

    For example, the button for "save file" when downloading an add-on does not display correctly. It works nevertheless, but the button itself is not showing up correctly.
    *edit: sp errors*

    It looks that you have made changes to the appearance of button that cause items and text to be larger.
    In your case this doesn't seem to work properly with the consequence that the middle part of the button gets distorted.
    I'm curious if this artifact would move to the other (Cancel) button or disappear if you would use the Tab key or cursor key to set focus to the Cancel button or if it is a problem with the label text that isn't default (OK or similar).

  • Does anybody know how to fix the back buttons?

    The back button in the browser doesn't seem to be working in my JSP page by default. Is there a code(JS or anything) I need to place in the JSP file to make the back button work?

    Hi Onamika,
    The back button in the browser doesn't seem to be working in my JSP page by default !!
    Did u disable the back button using Javascript in any of ur JSP codes in the previous pages ? If u did so, please re-enable it using Javascript again.
    If u mistakenly opened some site that has disabled ur browser's back button, then probably the only way to retrieve it back is to shut down IE, then restart ur system and then re-open that website again....but make sure not 2 go 2 that page that disabled the button.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers !!
