HT4515 One of my keys on my keyboard is not working at all.

Is there a way to repair a keyboard without going to the store

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
    Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
    I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

  • After 8.3 update my keyboard is not working at all?

    After the update 8.3 I am no longer able to use my keyboard?

    Hello Nurswanab,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I'm not sure if your onscreen keyboard is not working in all apps, or in a specific app, but to start troubleshooting please restart, and then reset your iPhone.  If this does not resolve the issue, please let me know, and provide more information about the issue.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Have a good one,
    Alex H.

  • Some of the shortcut keys and directional keys on the keyboard are not working in FF 4 RC1 (i.e. Tab, Ctrl+C, arrow keys). They work fin in FF 3.6x and other applications.

    Crtl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Tab, and arrow keys do not work at all in FF4.0b13 and later. I am not sure about earlier versions as this is the first version I have tried.

    I found this helpful article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1381) and worked my way through the section "Some keys don't work as expected".
    All the following functions/settings are disabled or turned off:
    Text to speech / Speak selected text when the key is pressed
    Slow Keys
    Mouse Keys.
    The keyboard viewer just confirms my list of keys that are not working.
    Starting in safe mode makes no difference; nor does booting from the Mac OS X Install Disc and running Terminal from the Utilities menu. The same keys as before fail to work.
    This seems to confirm that it's a hardware issue. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • Satellite A300D-126 the keyboard is not working at all

    I reinstalled the driver but it's still not working. What could the problem be? Help plz. Thanks

    Hi
    Whats wrong exactly?
    You have reinstalled the drivers???
    What drivers do you mean?
    The keyboard driver is a part of the Windows OS and it cannot be reinstalled separately.
    If your keyboard doesnt work properly then either the software doesnt run as it should or the hardware (keyboard) is faulty.
    You could try to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba HDD recovery to check if the issue is related to the software.
    If the keyboard will not work after this procedure, then an hardware issue could be possible.

  • Some of the keys on my keyboard do not work.  I've run through the trouble shooting tips and still no solution.

    Wireless keyboard - Not all Keys work.  For example: the top F1 through F12 and the right side shift key do not work. 
    Any thoughts?
    Thank you in advance. 

    Fast answers:
    1. Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM and SMC. Doesn't usually 'cure' keyboard problems you report, but it costs nothing and only takes a few minutes.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3819550?start=0&tstart=0
    2. Try plugging in a USB keyboard. Doesn't absolutely have to be a Mac keyboard. A PC keyboard will work for a test. If the typing problem does not occur with the USB keyboard, you have a temporary solution until you can arrange to visit a repair facility.
    3. If your MacBook is older and has a user-removable battery, shut down the computer, remove the battery, and examine it for signs of 'bulging' or swelling. Then connect the computer to the Magsafe power supply, without reinstalling the battery, and turn it back on. If the keyboard problem has gone away, it was likely caused by a swelling battery.

  • Lenovo G580 the key "{/[" in the keyboard is not working.Pls help.

    Hi,
    I recently bought this laptop less than a month ago.  few day earlier this paranthesis key is not working any more.  Laptop keyboard is without any dust or blemish. I am running ubuntu and when I checked there is no press/release event being registered, using XEV package. I also ran the system with live cd same issue. Tried removing the key and cleaning the interior, nothing helps. 
    Is this a problem with some connection in the keyboard?  I cannot think of any software issues since It was working fine couple days ago? 
    Help would be greatly appreciated since I am in the middle of writing my dessertation.

  • My volume control keys on my keyboard are not working.

    All of the keys on my keyboard are working except for the f10, f11, and f12 keys (those which control the volume). I have tried to fix this problem in system preferences but can't seem to find a place to fix the problem. I have a macbook pro.

    try a pram reset
    Resetting PRAM
       Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Some keys on the keyboard are not working on my Qosmio F60

    Hi,
    I had my laptop 2 years now and never had any problems before but recently some of the keys on my laptop keyborad are not working like fn key, i, e, r, t, y, u, ,i, o, = etc. Curently I am using an external keyborad to overcome this problem. I did a complete reinstall but problem still persits.
    Can you please suggest where the problem might be. It is very confusing as some keys are working fine but some are not.
    Regards,
    Abhi89

    >Can you please suggest where the problem might be.
    In my opinion problem is defective keyboard. As you can see complete OS reinstallation didnt change anything. It must be hardware related issue.
    Sorry but I think keyboard must be replaced.

  • Keyboard / Mouse not working correctly all of a sudden

    I spilt a little of my drink on my keyboard, but I dried it up with a towel immediately and it seemed fine. I probably was pressing multiple buttons while I was drying it off though. After I got done, the keyboard and mouse are not working right. I can only type my password into the OSX logon screen, then I can't type anything anywhere. When I left click with my mouse, it opens a dialog box instead of clicking (unless I'm clicking on a menu).
    What should I do to get it working right again?
    Thanks

    Also, when I open Word and could type in it one time, it just showed boxes even though I was using times new roman.

  • Apple aluminum (USB) keyboard is not working at all in Vista

    I just brought a apple aluminum (USB) keyboard. it works fine under Leopard. But when I plug it into Vista. Vista tells me keyboard driver install correctly, and device is working, but none of the keys on the USB keyboard is working. I mean not even "abc".

    As I installed Windows on my Mac, I was unable to use my wireless keyboard and mouse (which are the standards from Apple) when i was operating on the Windows partition. I had to call my buddy and use his keyboard and mouse, which were not wireless, and it worked fine. While in Windows, i did download Mac OS X, to make the two OS compatible, but the wireless still did not work on Windows. Is there something additional i need to do to allow my wireless keyboard and mouse to work on the Windows side of things. Please let me know if you have the answer
