Keyboard Glitch T430 - Pressure issue?

Hi All,
Looking for some help here. I am having a really strange glitch with my T430. It seems whenever I put pressure on the left side of the keyboard, or on the bottom of the laptop directly below the windows button, the laptop goes to the screen where you can scroll through open applications. ie when you hit windows+tab. I don't think that this would be a software glitch, right? 
I have installed a Crucial M4 256gb HDD in this. I doubt that this would be the problem though. Any ideas? It operates just fine as long as I don't put too much pressure on it. It's such a strange thing to be happening.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

try to take the keyboard off, and then reinstall it back.
Follow the T430 HMM for the installation instruction.

  • Using apple keyboard w/PC XP issues

    Hi all,
    I'm running a DELL laptop (yes I know, first mistake)....and I have bought a Apple keyboard w/numeric pad. The problem I'm having is when I open up my browser where it be Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, the bottom of the screen comes up and starts flashing. It is basically the HTML of the site and sometimes shows it. I can't figure out what is causing the conflict. Right now, there is no conflict and it is working perfectly. Rebooting doesn't solve the problem either. It does it when it wants to and does it 90% of the time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Actually it does have to do with the Apple keyboard because the keyboard states you can use it with a PC. I have tried another keyboard and the problem does not happen thus its an Apple/PC conflict.
    You did not mention another keyboard in your previous post and we can't read you mind.
    The keyboard has nothing to do with the way a webpage is displayed so I still fail to see how it's the Apple keyboard.  Like I said, run the computer for several days without the Apple keyboard and if the issue appears, you will have definitive proof that it's not the Apple keyboard.  But if it does NOT appear, that does NOT mean that it must be the Apple keyboard's fault.  (You can't prove a negative.  Google that if you dont' know what that means.)
    I don't see our conversation going in a way that you'll like after this so I'll stop here (unless someone posts areasonable and logical possibility and solution that I can contribute to.)  Otherwise, luck be with thee!

  • OS6.1.2 iphone 5 keyboard glitch

    The iPhone 5 on iOS 6.0.2 will occasionally show a keyboard glitch, as if a letter is being pressed rapidly over-and-over again. It is drving me crazy to type a word!! Is anyone have the same problems? Or how to fix it?

    Did you try closing Messages completely? Restart or reset the phone?
    Double tap the home button and swipe up on the messages preview thumbnail to close it completely, swipe the preview up off the top of the screen, and that will close the app.
    Restart the phone and see if it works OK, if not, reset the phone and then try again.

  • IPad iOS 8 keyboard glitch. Hitting T but typing 5.

    IPad iOS 8 keyboard glitch. Hitting T but typing 5.
    I have an IPad Air first generation. This has been annoying me for some time. Hitting T but typing 5. It is only now and again but has happened 5wice writing this.
    Haven't seen this reported elsewhere and have been hoping for a bug fix.

    Hi,
    On iOS 8 Apple added support for third-party keyboards. Try downloading one in place of the original keyboard.
    I personally would recommend TouchPal.
    Just a little warning though - the name of the keyboard contains a T.
    Hope this helps,
    Charlie.

  • MacBook Pro Keyboard and tracking pad issues

    I bought a refurbed macbook pro from Apple about 10 months ago. I've loved everything about it . . . until now. Yesterday I turned it on and started having keyboard issues. First the y key wouldn't work, then the rest of the keys followed. At that point, it was still starting up normally, but then the tracking pad would only "right click" on items on my desk top, so I couldn't open applications.
    Now it will only open up in safe mode and it makes a noise like I'm pressing all the keys at once at start-up. Nothing happened to it between Saturday night when it was working perfectly and Sunday morning so I'm mystified. I brought it to the genius bar this morning and they also couldn't see what was wrong. Genius said something about how some keys looked "stuck" but mentioned it didn't looked like anything was spilled on it or anything.
    The only "weird" thing about it is that the hing between the screen and the keyboard has always been a little loose but I didn't know until my husband bought a new pro a few months later and I felt the difference. The genius didn't seem to think that would mean anything.
    They told me it would be at least $280 to send it out, diagnose, and fix it. Considering it's less than a year old, I'm a little reluctant (and poor) to do that right way especially since he had no clue what the problem might be.
    I'm planning on trying another Genius Bar to see if they might have a better idea (hey, it worked with my ipod once) but I've been combing the message boards to see if anyone has had a similar issue. I found an older thread that talked about 2008 pros haven't issues with the keyboard and trackpad freezing due to a "faulty pressure connector" so I might try that solution when I get home. But any other ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If you bought your Mac from Apple 10 months ago, it should still be covered by the 1 year warranty and as long as the problem was not caused by accidental damage of some sort, it should be repaired at no cost to you. Was the store aware that you were still under warranty?
    You can even upgrade to 3 year Applecare if you do so before the first year of ownership is up--definitely something to do if your Mac is having troubles already.
    When you see the next genius, make sure they know you are still in the 1 year warranty period, and if you can, upgrade to 3 year Applecare.
    You can also call Applecare on the phone and tell them about these problems and ask them for a case number, which will at least establish that they started while you were still under warranty. If a problem first occurs under warranty, Apple will honor the warranty until the problem is fixed, even if the warranty runs out in the meantime.
    Good luck!

  • Crazy iPhone 5 Keyboard Glitch- Bright Colored Keyboard?

    So I have had my iPhone 5 for several weeks now and ever since I got it I have noticed this glitch. Everytime I am asked to enter my Apple ID or password it happens. It only happens when I hit the numerical keyboeard. It is fine with the normal qwerty keyboard. I have attached a picture of what happens? I have researched the issue but have never seen anything this bad. Lots of discussions went back on forth about this being a software or hardware issue. I have restored my phone several times. One from scratch and another from back up. Both types result in this glitch. Any idea guys? Thanks in advance!

    Try a reset on the phone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if it works.
    Sorry, I missed where you said the reset fixed it. It is probably a random act, however there could be something wrong with your iOS, a file could be corrupt. If it continues, you can try a restore, first from a backup. If that doesn't correct it, then you can try a restore as a new device.

  • Keyboard Glitch

    This is what's happening to my keyboard. Should I be worried or take my phone back to the telus store?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4kYbiygU6Ahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8_dxACdqkc
    However, it only happens when signing into the appstore after before making a purchase. It could just be a software issue not hardware?

    1. My observation is same as yours. Maybe a limitation; not a glitch, not a bug.
    2. I use only one language so no experience with this, but glitch is indeed what it sounds like.

  • IOS7 keyboard glitch on swapped iPhone - is it safe/legit?

    The screen on my girlfriend's iPhone 5s recently broke (shattered), and she went to an Apple store to see if she could get it repaired. Instead of repairing the phone, one of the employees gave her a replacement phone right there on the spot. She was super excited, understandably, and told me about her good luck.
    Then a few hours later she messaged me a screenshot showing me that she had a glitch on her keyboard. In the first screenshot you can see some noise over the space key. In the second screenshot there's the same noise over the return key in the bottom right corner. http://imgur.com/a/VSYTM
    I consider myself pretty tech savvy and up to date with Apple stuff (i've had an iPhone/iPad since they were released), and after some cursory Googling I wasn't able to find any other reports of this, so I started to wonder if the Apple employee's goodwill was too good to be true. I asked her if the phone she was given came sealed in a box and she said it wasn't.
    At this point I'm wondering if it was a refurbished phone or if perhaps there's some funny business going on. I'm not sure how to check the legitimacy of the phone and/or if it's been jailbroken or sideloaded with a modified version of the OS, but I wasnted to do some homework and try to find out. One reason why I wouldn't think it's refurbished is because refurbs are checked and tested before being released back into the wild. Then again, it could be a lemon, I don't know. I've also heard reports of iPhones being replaced when there's hardware defects like WiFi issues or sticky Home buttons, but in this case her phone was clearly broken outside of normal hardware defects.
    Anyway, has anyone seen this glitch before? Am I paranoid here? Is there a way to further investgate what's going on with the phone, and if so what should be done? If it's a normal refurb, any known way to fix this graphical bug?
    I really want to believe it was an awesome act of goodwill, but, y'know, better safe than sorry.
    Thanks for any help!

    I suggest you submit a bug to apple through there feedback system we are just users like you and have no bearing on fixing this.

  • Keyboard glitches

    I have a 3rd generation iPod touch that I bought in December of 2009. Lately, I've been having a lot of issues with it. These include apps frequently crashing and the touch screen not working. The problem I'm asking about has to do with the keyboard. When I use it, often it will not go away, even after I press “done” and/or “return”. When I switch to another app that uses a keyboard, the keyboard is already there on the screen and won't go away until I reboot. Any suggestions on how to treat this glitch?

    Since rebooting (is this resetting:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.) does not solve you problem have you tried:
    - Restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restoring to factory defaults/new iPod via iTunes

  • IPhone 5 App Store keyboard glitch -- persistent green lines at bottom of screen

    I just brought home my new black 32GB iPhone 5 from the Verizon store.  After using it for an hour or so, and switching over to WiFi, I entered my Apple ID password in the App Store to (re)download an app.  My password requires me to switch to the ".?123" keyboard.  The bottom ~1/5 of my screen became fuzzy, as though the keyboard overlay was sticking around longer than it should have.  After a short time, glitch resolved to a state that's been "permanent" - vertical green lines.  These green lines fade in slowly after I wake the screen from sleep.  They've persisted through multiple power off > on cycles, a hard reset, and even through the upgrade to iOS 6.02.  Interestingly, screen captures do not seem to grab these green lines.
    Any ideas on how I can fix this, or am I going to have to get the phone replaced?

    I think this is normaly. I've had some issues (gone through 6 replacements - not trivial issues, dead home button, dead camera, dead wifi that kind of thing). I noticed this on the 3rd replacement and everyone since. People are claiming that they have received "flawless screens" (whatever that means). I think the Sharp pannels are the ones that don't show these interlacing lines and AU Optronic pannels do. I have experience with AU Optronic pannels and everyone that I have ever owned (Motorola Xoom, PC Monitors, etc...) have done this. It is too bad that Apple settled for this manufacturer, but it is a gamble whether you will get one that doesn't do it. It is normal and within specs as most the iPhones at this point with have AU pannels due to Sharp's shortage.
    The geniuses will likely not replace an iPhone for this reason. If you have AppleCare+ and have an incident in the future, perhaps you'll get lucky and get a sharp pannel put on to replace the AU pannel. But, there is no way to know which phones have which pannels.
    Interestingly, I checked at the Apple store and 50% of the display models did it, and the genius that I spoke to's iphone 5 did it. You can find wall paper that is alternating black and white lines one pixel in width and it will cause the screen to flicker. Like you, I REALLY wish that apple DID NOT choose AU Optronics and if I had known I would have waited to purchase, but now I have it and cannot return it. I may sell it and move back to my previous phone. Given that the #1 selling feature is the retina display, it is disappointing to see a low quality pannel used. I really like the iPhone, but this is pretty much a deal breaker - and not knowing if you will get one that does it, or doesn't makes it very hard to "trust" a future production. I would rather have waited for the Sharp pannels and delayed getting an iPhone due to supply issues, than Apple finding an alternative, lower quality, source to produce them.

  • On Screen Keyboard Glitch in Tablet Mode - On Screen Keyboard minimizes / disappears / slides down

    Hi there -
    New Yoga owner here ( just bought it yesterday) and within minutes of setting the computer up I noticed that the on screen keyboard was malfunctioning when the yoga is in tablet mode. Specifically, it pops up for about a second and then, without me touching or clicking or doing anything, it quickly slides back down. repeated attempts to bring up the keyboard end up, frustratingly, with the same result. what is perplexing to me is the on screen keyboard works fine in laptop mode (when I need it least).
    Someone else already started a post on this BUT it was marked as 'solved' (which it wasn't) so I figured I'd start new thread. The solution on the previous thread was to simply 'refresh' windows to get rid of any new drivers that were downloaded since purchasing the yoga, but I did not download or update anything prior to this problem arising (as I said, the problem seemed to occur within a few minutes of turning the machine on for the first time). In any case, I tried the refresh and it did not work so clearly my problem is not that I downloaded an incompatible or faulty driver. Please Help! I love this machine and I'm trying to see past the other flaws I've noticed so far (subtle screen flickering, inconsistent touch sensitivity etc), but this issue is starting to really undermine my confidence in the product quality and, from a productivity standpoint, it is a real deal breaker to not have full tablet functionality.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I had the same problem with the disappearing virtual keyboard within hours of starting to use my new Yoga 13.  I read somewhere that it was a problem with an incompatible Synaptics driver, and when I looked in the control panel, it showed that the Synaptics driver had been updated on my Yoga as of the day I bought it.  I think somehow by agreeing to automatic updates of the software, the Synaptics driver is updated to an incompatible version.   So what I did was I removed the Synaptics driver, using the Windows program uninstaller tool, rebooted, and then found the Synaptics driver at the Lenovo site which is specifically labelled as the Yoga 13 driver.  I installed that, and the keyboard is now working fine.    

  • Arrow keys spark random 5-10 minute keyboard glitch

    Some combination of the arrow keys will acuse the following errors will pop uptogether, then in about 5-10 minutes they vanish:
    -Everything I type will be in caps, even though caps lock is off,
    - both my USB and touchpad mouses will open new browser windows when I right-click on tabs,
    - my mouse will highlight and not stop highlighting,
    -I can't switch to other windows using the minimized tabs on the taskbar, they just bring up new windows (be it browser or other programs)
    -The mouse wheel will send me through my broswer history rather than scroll down or up.
    -Macros don't do as expected. Example: Shift+A takes me to firefox's addons rather than highlight everything on the page.
    - clicking on bookmarks in firefox will open the website in a new window rather than in the same tab.
    This error I get quite frequently:  Random semicolons followed by a random number will appear when I navigate a document with the arrow keys. This usually preceeds the following errors above.
    Its a new HP Probook 450 G1, and I've had plenty of programs scanning my system for viruses and malware. I've even reset windows and the problems persist. HP phone support did not help me. What's the deal?
    While writing this complain those same errors occured and navigated me away from this page, forcing me to write it again.
    I'll post this over and over until I get a reponse and a repair suggestion if I have to.

    SO I ended up getting in contact with a rep. who noticed that I had restarted windows and some things had not been activated. He got them updated and told me to get rid of AVG, and some other antimalware stuff because 'they weren't needed.'
    I only got them in the first place because I suspected this issue to be viral in nature. We decided to see if these changes altered my situation.
    Answer: Things have gotten worse. Semicolons appear much more commonly when I use the arrow keys in documents, and its the arrow keys that somehow lock the keyboard into a state where it thinks I'm holding down the shift key.
    These errors have nothing to do with me using the shift key, although repeatedly pressing it does reset the semi-perement shift key issue.
    And no, nothing has ever been spilled in/on the keyboard.

  • Photoshop Pen Pressure Issues

    I'm not actually sure that this is the correct place to post this. I don't have a question per se, as I've fixed the problem, but I would like to address an issue with Photoshop and my pen tablet and hopefully help others who might have the same problems. I recently built a new computer and, upon installing my Wacom Bamboo and Photoshop, found myself unable to use the pen pressure settings in Photoshop, which had previously worked just fine on my old machine. I tried everything I could find on the web to fix the problem: reinstalling the tablet drivers, installing old driver versions, turning on and off various settings, nothing worked, when finally I stumbled across a post by someone who offhandedly mentioned that they started Photoshop with their pen, instead of their mouse, and that their pressure settings worked just fine. I was kinda skeptical that such a trivial-seeming thing could be the fix, but I tried it, and lo and behold, it worked! If anyone here knows why I'd be interested in knowing, just for the sake of curiosity, but I hope this simple fix can save some time and frustration for other users.

    Photoshop CC 2014 changes stylus use to use Microsoft system API's, with these API's you need to have Windows Ink enabled. These API's give better stroke results and improve the out of the box experience for users using Windows tablet/convertible devices. If you want to go back to the old WinTab implementation of previous versions do the following:
    Create a file that contains instructions to revert to the WinTab functionality.
    Create a text file in a text editor such as Notepad.
    Type in the following lines:
    # Use WinTab
    UseSystemStylus 0
    Save the file as a plain text file named PSUserConfig.txt, and save the file into the Photoshop settings folder: C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings\.
    To turn off the gestalt's functionality, delete the PSUSerConfig.txt file. Or, move it to a different folder if it doesn't contain any other commands, or change the lines so they read:
    # Use Win8 native tablet support
    UseSystemStylus 1

  • Has the T430 fan issue been fixed?

    Hello all,
    I am thinking of selling my Macbook Pro and getting a T430, but I am a little concerned with the fan issue being reported here in the forums. Has the problem been fixed in the newer models? Thanks in advance for your reply.

    I'm in the same situation, a year ago I purchased a T420 and I was very pleased as the notebook was very quietly most of the time. My notebook was stolen a week ago () and I'm looking for a replacement. As I understand not everybody is suffering this problem of whining fan,  have any idea  if this problem could be associated to only some particular models??. For example, this problem affects both the models with integrated & dedicated graphics (as far as I understand the dedicated GPU can generate lots of extra heat inside the machine that needs to be dissipated)??
    Best Regards

  • Contacts search keyboard glitch?

    I have just managed to get my outlook contacts onto my phone (outlook sync doesnt work with Ovi Suite or Nokia PC studio by the way). In the end i had to export all the contacts from outlook into Vista Contacts manager, and use PC Suite to get them onto the phone.
    When i open contacts, and open the onscreen keyboard by pressing in the search box at bottom of the screen, the keyboard layout seems to be laid out incorrectly, in the following layout:
    +  -  5  7  A
    B C D  E  F
    G H  I   J  K
    L  M N 
    Underneath this is a page 1/2 indicator and 2 arrow buttons to switch to a 2nd page. The page number indicator  overlays the contacts underneath so is difficult to read. It looks glitchy and looking at the layout (as described above) surely it isnt how it should be? I have never seen a keyboard layout like that at least.
    Is anyone else seeing this issue?
    Also, when i select a contact, and the screen changes to give options for make a call, message etc, the phone number appears overlaying some other elements on the screen, then disappears. Is this correct? Again it seems glitchy...
    Thanks!

    Good Idea! But Apple may never hear of it unless you submit it!
