Key board not working with hp 2000, window 8

I have a hp 2000 lap top tablet with windows 8. The key board stop working. First it was the numbers, then letters. I just bought a wireless key board just so I could research the problem.  Any ideas?

It sounds like the laptop keyboard cable may be loose or your laptop keyboard may need to be replaced. If an external keyboard is working just fine, it should mean that the motherboard is just fine.
If the laptop is still under warranty, I would contact HP, they should fix it for you. They will not want you trying to fix it yourself (at least without them knowing about it) without voiding your warranty.
Otherwise, you may need to find someone that can take care of it for you. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can find keyboards on Ebay for less than $20 usually and tutorials that will walk you through the whole process of replacing it. Of all the parts to replace on a laptop, the keyboard is generally one of the easiest to fix, but I would research it out a little before attempting.

  • Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7

    I received a product key for Windows 7 Professional N whilst I was at University via Dreamspark. I'm building a new computer and when it's come to inputting the product key, it comes up saying Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7.
    The version I installed was Windows 7 Professional using an iso and a USB. I rang the phone activation number and when I got through to a representative, I gave him the product key and he said it is valid and should be working. He transferred me to technical
    services but instead I got cut off.
    At this point I'm really not sure what the issue is, the key was for Windows 7 Professional N, I installed Windows 7 Professional and customer support confirmed it as a valid key. Am I missing something?

    Post your issue to the Windows 7 Genuine Issues forum.  Here are the instructions on how to produce a diagnostic:

    To properly analyze and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the Continue button, after a short time, the Continue button will change to a Copy button.
    Click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your post.

    Most Activation and Validation issues look the same, on the surface, but can have many different causes and fixes. This is why we ask for a diagnostic report and this is also why we ask that you create your own thread for your issue (in other words,
    don't post your issue in another person's thread). 
    It just becomes too complicated to try to troubleshoot multiple different issues in the same thread.

  • Modifer keys do not work with mouse in Illustrator

    Below is a copy of a bug report I just submitted to Adobe. I don't suppose any users have run across this and found a solution or workaround?
    I found someone else with this problem in an archived topic thread, but the only response that poor fellow got was an accusation of not following instructions (His problem wasn't user error, BTW).
    Thanks
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Modifer keys do not work with mouse: For example, free transform or rotate behaviors that require "Click-Ctrl" .
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. select object
    2. select free transform tool
    3. left click (without releasing) a corner of the bounding box.
    4. start dragging
    5. press ctrl
    Results:
    object behaves as though the ctrl key was not pressed. i.e. the cursor does not change shape and the object scales rather than distorts.
    Expected results: The cursor should change shape as the ctrl key is pressed and the object should distort rather than scale.
    Additional information: This behavior is intermittent. Occasionally Illustrator recognizes the "Click-Ctrl" combination and behaves exactly as the help file predicts it will. The cursor changes shape and the object distorts rather than scales. I can offer no rhyme or reason for when Illustrator will behave as advertised and when it will ignore the modifier keys.
    The example above involves the free transform tool, but the problem occurs just as often with other tool behaviors that require a modifier key + mouse combination.
    Primarily using Wacom Intuos3 tablet. (with latest drivers), but have also tried combinations with microsoft mouse or both mice installed.
    Also, immediately after an occurrence Illustrator bug, left AI open, went to a different app that uses mouse+modifier (Ctrl+Click). That different app recognizes Ctrl+Click with no problems whatsoever.

    Thanks Guys,
    Good to know it's working for you. I guess that's the nature of intermittent bugs. Of course, Adobe's bug report form has a field for version, which I, of course, filled in. Sorry I didn't add it to this post. I'm using the latest version CS3 v13.0.2.
    Stephen,
    Sorry I was not more clear when I said, "For example, ...". I was talking about the modifier keys not working with several different tools. The Free Transform tool advertises functionality that is supposed to work with a "Click (down, but don't release)then hold down Ctrl" combination. The Rotate tool advertises a behavior that is supposed to work with an "Alt-Click" combination. These are just 2 examples of the modifier keys not working. I focused primarily on one example in the bug report(ctrl after and in addition to click in the free transform tool, not alt-click in the rotate tool).
    Here is what I expect(quoted from Adobe's CS3 help file)
    (From the "Distort Objects with the Free transform tool" help topic)
    "Select one or more objects.
    Select the Free Transform tool .
    Start dragging a corner handle on the bounding box (not a side handle), and then do one of the following:
    Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) until the selection is at the desired level of distortion.
    Hold down Shift+Alt+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) to distort in perspective."
    (from the "Rotate an object by a specific angle" help topic:)
    You can control the exact angle of rotation with the Rotate command.
    Select one or more objects.
    "Do one of the following:
    To rotate around the center point, choose Object > Transform > Rotate, or double-click the Rotate tool.
    To rotate around a different reference point, select the Rotate tool. Then Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) where you want the reference point to be in the document window.
    Enter the rotation angle in the Angle text box...."
    These Tool based mouse-key combinations do occasionally work as they are supposed to, so I know what the expected results are supposed to look like, but whether they work or not appears to depend on the phase of the moon, the day of the week, and the color of the president's underwear.
    Other non-tool based mouse-key combinations in Illustrator work consistently all the time - Ctrl-A for Select All as just one example that always works.
    Thanks Again

  • HT3529 My ios 7 update has made my message key board not work ?

    After updating to IOS 7 update. It has made my key board not work very well when typing a message.

    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

  • Uploading files to website not working with Safari in Windows 7

    Safari version: 5.1.7
    OS: Windows 7
    Hi,
    I am a website owner, and I have a feature on my site where users can upload large (up to 50MB) music files to my server. The feature works in Firefox on OSX & Windows platforms and it also works in Safari on OSX. The uploading feature is not working with Safari for Windows. Do you have any idea why and how to fix this? It can't be an issue with my server as it works in other browsers fine and works fine in Safari for OS X.
    If you have any information on how to solve this or things for me to try to rectify this for use with Windows operating system it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    GREAT NEWS!!!!
    I have solved this issue myself with some help from my a user on Microsoft Forums. The issue stems from the mime type of each Browser Chrome, IE, & Safari for Windows defaults as audio/wav. When the mime type is changed to audio/x-wav everything works. Firefox defaults to audio/x-wav and when changed to audio/wav it DOES NOT work.
    Once I input some code in my .php upload page to change the mimetype if audio/wav is detected everything works GREAT!!!
    So Here is what you need to do: Find your upload page and input this code:
    echo "<p>MIME Type: ".$_FILES["file"]["type"]."</p>";   
    right before your "If/then" statement of file type. For me it was near line 30 in my upload.php page, but I'm sure this is different for everyone.
    This will detect and DISPLAY the default mime type of your browser on the error page when your upload doesn't work. Once you know what mime type works for your file type then you can change your "if/then" statement for mime type upload to change your mime type to the correct one.
    I don't want to give the code here, because I'm sure it's specific to your file types and your site construction, but this should lead you on the right track.
    ***This is the solution if you ARE NOT ABLE to upload any certain file in a certain Browser. It has to do with mime type construction***
    I hope this helps others like it helped me!!!!!

  • Hp t510 right alt key mapping not working with ctrl + s

    Using the HP t510 to launch a xendesktop session via storefront. We have a mission critical application that uses the ctrl + alt + s hotkey to secure itself. The left alt key with ctrl + s is working as it should but the right alt key does not. When testing in the win7 on screen keyboard the right alt and ctrl stay lit up. When hitting the S key after depressing both the  right alt + ctrl (right or left ctrl doesn't matter) the alt keys disappear from the on screen keyboard as if they were no longer pushed. They hotkey combination never makes it to the application and it does not secure itself.
    I've tested this same workflow on an ASUS thin client, desktop, and laptop hardware with no issues. It does in fact seem to be some hotkey mapping the HP device has baked into it using the right alt key.
    Has anyone seen any issues that even closely mimic this? I've seen some for ctrl + alt + del but their fixes don't work for this specific issue.

    Hello xXenStatex,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that the alt key mapping is not working with ctrl + s on your Thin Client, and I would be happy to guide you towards a resolution!
    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can do this at:

  • Enter key does not work with MSTSC

    I have SQL Develoepr 1.0.0.15.57 installed on a Windows Server 2003 (Ver. 5.2 SP 1). I use Microsoft Terminal Services Client (mstsc.exe) to get to that server from a Windows XP Professional (ver. 5.1 SP 1) box.
    When I use mstsc to get to the server and launch SQL Develoeper, it works...mostly. But the <enter> key does nothing. I've tried changing the line terminator (tools/preferences/line terminator) from "Platfor Dependant" to "Windows CR/LF" but that has no effect.
    The encoding is set to cp1252 which is the same as my local version on the XP Pro box (both 1.0.0.15 and the new beta 1.1.0.21) which work fine.
    Any ideas why the enter key would not work when using mstsc from an XP box to a Windows Server 2003 box?
    Thanks,
    Shelby

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I installed the "Value Added Package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) which contains the "Flash Cards Utility". In my understanding, the installation of the "Value Added Package" should enable the Fn keys usage.
    This doesn't seem to be true or not completely true.
    Here is what happens.
    - Before the installation of the "Value Added Package" all the Fn keys didn't work.
    - After the installation of the "Value Added Package", if the TCrdMain.exe process is running, all the Fn keys don't work.
    - If I remove the TCrdMain.exe from the startup and I reboot the PC, only some Fn keys work (Fn+ESC, Fn+F1).
    There is no way (or I didn't find a way) to make all the Fn keys working.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    I do not know for sure but it can be because of SP1. I have installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and all listed stuff (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.
    Does your installations Vista DVD contains SP1 or you have installed it on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate (without SP1) and all stuff from Toshiba support site following Installations Instructions order.

  • ODBC Connection Pooling not working with 10g On Windows 2003

    I have a bog standard Windows 2003 machine and installed Oracle 10g on it. It seems that the ODBC Connection pooling is not working.
    I am using ASP and every time I try and render a simple page it is taking 4-5 seconds which is the time necessaru to create a database connection. ( Machine is 2.8 Ghz Xeon with 2 gigs of Ram)
    The following VB Code can be used to test that the pooling is not working. It creates 2 connections to the database. On oracle 10g on windows 2003, it takes 5 seconds to create the first connection, and another 5 seconds to create the second connection.
    When you run the same program on windows 2000 and oracle 9, the first connection take 3 seconds, and the second 0.05 seconds. ( The shorter time being due to the connection pooling)
    time1=timer()
    set conn=createobject("adodb.connection")
    Conn.Open "dsn=oracleDSN;uid=yourusername;pwd=yourpassword"
    time2=timer()
    msgbox time2-time1
    conn.close
    set conn=nothing
    time1=timer()
    set conn=createobject("adodb.connection")
    Conn.Open "dsn=oracleDSN;uid=yourusername;pwd=yourpassword"
    time2=timer()
    msgbox time2-time1
    conn.close

    ODBC Connection Pooling is controlled by the ODBC Driver Manager and defaults to off for every driver on every platform. Have you enabled connection pooling for your driver in the ODBC Data Source Administrator?

    View Solution.

    You can try the following steps:
    1. Please remove all external devices from the computer, remove the battery and the AC Adapter. After that, hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Reconnect, restart and check for functionality. 
    2.  Go to BIOS and check if the Arrow keys are working. This will isolate any issues with the Operating System. 
    3. Try using an external Keyboard and Mouse. This will help us determine if the issue is with the computer hardware or the Operating System.

    Hi All... Long time Apple user and have enjoyed many many years without a thought about malware, virus' and trojans. However as this dialog progresses I would like to share an unfortunate reality... Life was fine and then one day my MacBook Pro started to labor when opening apps/managing multiple documents/etc.. the spinning wheel - and when I pulled up the option to Force Quit - each time it would show me that one or another of my apps was 'unresponsive'. (when I did not force quit the app - it did finally become responsive after a number of minutes) Next... noticed two things; at the same time that a mac app was unresponsive - the fan in my macbook was kicked into overdrive... and the casing above the keyboards had become super hot. Researched the issue that pointed me to the possibility of malware... Chose then what was best option McAfee to scan my computer.... and yes you guessed it - two cases of malware and a trojan. McAfee put them in 'quarantine' and I restarted my laptop... Like magic - no unresponsive apps - the fans were calm and the case was no longer excessively hot. This was great for about a month and then it happened again... ran the scan (with McAfee and Sophos) and found a new case of malware that was found in my email database and dated as received that day - once the virus was quarantined - my macbook was happy again. Now I run realtime virus scanner - seems like about 3-5 weeks and something will show up and - 99.9% time imbedded within an email - but computer is running as it should fast, cool and quiet.

  • Easy Print VI panel not working with 64-bit windows vista

    We have a significantly sized application developed in Labview 8.2.1 that is designed to work on a standalone computer. This application uses "Easy Print VI Panel" to print report pages which are basically front panels of various VIs. The application also prints some report pages using the "Print Report" module. Typically we use the application builder and use the generated installer to install the application on a target computer. We also include the appropriate Run-Time engine and NI VISA 4.1. The applications works exactly as designed on all versions of 32-bit Windows (ME, XP, Vista). Now, when this application was installed on a machine running Windows Vista 64-bit, attempts to print reports resulted in a lot of blank pages. I noticed that the report pages that are based on the "Easy Print VI Panel" module were blank whereas the ones that are based on the "Print Report" module were not blank.
    To further troubleshoot, I created a very small application. The only function of this application is to use the "Easy Print VI Panel" to print the front panel of another VI that I bundled inside the application. I observed the same behavior.  
    From what I can tell, either:
    1. "Easy Print VI Panel" with Labview 8.2.1 is not compatible with Windows Vista 64-bit
    2. The Labview Run-Time Engine 8.2.1 has some incompatibility with Windows Vista 64-bit (I have not tried to install the full development system on the 64-bit Vista computer)
    Any insights as to what may be causing this? or does anyone know of a fix for this issue. I am attaching the latter simple test code to the post.
    Thanks

    Sorry Sam, I couldn't get my hands on a 64-bit Vista machine to tinker with your VI. I got a little obsessed with trying to get ahold of a computer to test it out on, that I overlooked actually taking the time to think about the problem. But, now that I'm thinking about it, which operating system did you build this application on? Sometimes an application that was built in another OS than it's running on will have problems caused by the differences in the OS. I'd like to try building the application in 64-bit Vista and deploying it to another 64-bit Vista machine, but unfortunately, I can't test this out myself. My gut feeling is that the application is acting up because it wasn't built in 64-bit Vista, not because the Easy Print VI or the 8.2.1 Run-Time Engine themselves are incompatible with 64-bit Vista. If you can, please test out that theory. That will definitely help determine if it's truly a bug or not.

  • G505s - Touchpad hot key function not working with lenovo driver

    I'm using windows 8.1, Lenovo G505s laptop. Recently I got replacement from Lenovo regarding touchpad after that this Fn(F7) touchpad enable/disable not working. This is happening only when I installied touchpad driver provided by lenovo and works well with standard microsoft driver (Ofcourse, no multigesture support with that driver).
    We perfomed following operations:
    1. HotKey mode enable/disable in BIOS
    2.Reinstallation of OS
    3. Reinstallation of driver(manually)
    All cases with microsoft driver this function working but with touchpad driver it is not working. It's almost 90days (88thday) daily contacting both Lenovo customer support and service center people but no use.
    If anybody having this problem and have a solution please share! (My machine under warranty!)

    hi phani_kumar,
    It's likely that you have a Synaptics driver (you can verify this by its hardware ID or use a utility software like AIDA 64 Extreme Edition).
    - Link to picture (Synaptics)
    - Link to picture (ELAN
    If you're unable to install the driver below, can you follow this guide on how to disable driver signature enforcement then try to reinstall the driver again and observe if you can now toggle the Fn+F6.
