Keyboard Issue: Typing 't' produces 't5' and typing 'y' produces 'y6' after computer error.

dv6700 laptop left on in backpack for about a hour. When I discovered the laptop, it was on, but the screen was blank. After restarting the computer beeped three times, but would not boot. I tried to bring the computer up a few times getting only the beeps. The next day the computer runs fine except when typing the characters 't' and 'y'. When typing 't' the letters 't5' come up and when typing 'y' 'y6' comes up. Nothing was spilled in the laptop. I suspect it overheated. Thanks for the assistance.
This question was solved.

Hi,
It seems to me mechanical errors here since all 4 characters are close together. The first thing I would check to see any thing such as metal, wet ... or even a piece of something is sitting underneath of these keys. The second thing I would check to see any damage for the electrical connection under the keyboard. The following book shows you how to remove the keyboard and then put it back:

Good luck.

  • Keyboard issues with IOS 8.02 and iPad Air

    Does anybody know how to fix the following issue...
    When using iOS8.02 spotlight search on my iPad Air in Landscape mode
    the keyboard (Apple keyboard, not 3rd party) stays on the side of the screen.
    Spotlight search is in landscape mode...but the keyboard is in Portrait mode
    Never happened with IOS7...Started in IOS8...not fixed in 8.02
    I can temporarily fix it by rebooting the Ipad...but it just happens again and again
    The keyboard works when like this...but it is just sideways
    I have not installed any 3rd party keyboards, I have only ever use the Apple keyboard

    additional info:
    3 apps had updated before this bug started:
    ------- 500px (fixed layout problems),
    ------- Google (some Now card issues&iphone6plus bugs),
    ------- Google+ (voiceover crash)
    deleted the three WHICH IMMEDIATELY FIXED THE BUG!!!
    then reloaded one at a time and tested -- the bug has not returned,  as of yet ...
    suggest looking in Apps\Updates and see which apps have updated since the bug appeared ... delete them and reload them.

  • Keyboard Issue - Works but wrong characters (and in Mail only!)

    Running 10.4.9 - I had this happen before the update
    A couple of the input keys (M, N, A, O, and others) produce the opposite keystroke. Oddly, this happens on ONLY in the MacMail program. Others are not affected. Thoughts?

    No - definitely only keep ONE version of Helvetica*, PS OR .dfont (you also want to keep one flavor of Helvetica Neue).
    If you have fairly extensive set of Postscript Helvetica, and you use it in your graphics Apps, that's probably the better choice.
    If you opt to go with Helv PS, I'd put all the bits (Printer & bitmaps in as subfolder of the System/Fonts folder) just move the dFont elsewhere (not in any font folder) -- You'll have to enter your password
    Keeping the dfont version is simpler otherwise, but be aware - you really won't want to use Helvetica Narrow PS (or a host of other variants in Adobe Apps.) And if you have a postscript printer, it may not be too happy.
    Once you've made the change, I'd advise restarting.
    Then: doing the cache cleaning (you'll have to restart again
    (You still MUST run of the Font cache cleaners since the symptoms described are a giveaway of font cache corruption.)
    There's an EXCELLENT named something like 'Using and Managing fonts in OSX' that can be found in the 'Pro' section of this website.
    **Oddly, I haven't ran into serious probs with other fonts when both a dFont and PS version exist, but I definitely had issues with Helvetica dups.

  • How to recover tabs and bookmarks and settings from hard drive after computer dies?

    computer's motherboard died, and I am going to move all the browsing info to a new computer.
    When my computer died I had 20 something tabs open and I haven't saved them to bookmark yet and I need to get them back, along with the whole histories too.
    I also used to be able to recover the bookmarks but I haven't done it for a while and maybe firefox 4.0 does it differently this time?

  • Keyboard issue - Cursor moves backwards while typing

    Hello,
    I have an issue with the keyboard of a Macbook Pro (2011). When I'm typing (email, notes or word etc.), the cursor moves up a couple of lines by itself and I end up typing in a middle of another word. It seems to do so randomly. I have done what apple advises in case of keyboard issue but it hasn't solved the problem so I was wondering if any of you had any suggestion on how to solve that. Thanks

    If you have another keyboard, use it see if the problem crops up there. 
    Reset the SMC:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    From the disc that originally came w/your comp, run the Hardware Test & post the results.
    Keyboard may be dirty.  Try cleaning it using an air compressor and/or a brush vacuum hose.

  • Key shortcut, issue, typing something in editing code and changing language going directly to snippets.

    Key shortcut, issue, typing something in editing code and changing language going directly to snippets.
    So the problem is that I have to click in the editing code again to write in different language, which it didn't happened before.
    Just in case of shortcut keys collision I completly removed the shortcut of snippets from shift+F9, nothing changed. I really can't understand why when I press Alt+Shift to change language it goes straight to the snippets.
    If anyone can help would save me from nervous breakdown! 
    Thanks,
    GKD

    Since this appears to be a "just started happening" issue, have you tried clearing the program cache?
    Deleting a corrupted cache file
    That tends to catch a lot of weird behaviors and straighten them out.

  • While typing, the keyboard starts typing multiple letters. I'm fed up of this. I don't think I am doing something at my own, it's happening at its own. Is it because of some problem in the hardware since OS and system refresh could not resolve this.

    While i type, the keyboard starts typing multiple letters. I'm fed up of this. I think it's happening at its own. Is it because of some problem in the hardware since OS and system refresh could not resolve this please help.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If you have done this like I describe above and the problem continues I suggest you contact Apple Support or make an appointment at an Apple Store and have your iPad examined by a technician.

  • I need a Vietnamese keyboard. Recommendations? A keyboard that officially works with iPad and displays all the characters and their accent marks for typing.

    Where do I find an excellent and reliable Vietnamese keyboard for new iPad? A keyboard that displays all the characters and the accent marks so typing can be easily accomplished. The iPad keyboard selection for Vietnamese really only seems to change the Return key to the Vietnamese language. iPad is sold all over the world....my interest is Viet Nam.....the full keyboard.

    Thanks.....my Vietnamese expert spouse says this tip will work just fine.  I was not aware of the hold down function. Slow typing but accomplishes the objective native on the iPad.
    You are correct.....most Apps that I find seem to be based only on a copy/paste method of input.
    You solved the problem.

    Hi Rob,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your running into an issue with the keyboard on your MacBook Pro. The article linked below provides suggestions that will resolve most keyboard issues like the one you described.
    OS X Mavericks: If keys on your keyboard don’t work
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13809
    If other keys don’t work
    You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, then click “Text to Speech.” If “Speak selected text when the key is pressed” is selected, deselect it or click Change Key to select another key.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Keyboard. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must hold down a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Mouse & Trackpad. Make sure Mouse Keys is off. If Mouse Keys is on, pressing keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering numbers.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Input Sources. Select “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu and make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected. To see the keyboard layout, click Keyboard, then choose “Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar.”
    I hope this helps.

  • How do I hide the keyboard while typing an email?

    On the iPad you can hide the keyboard anytime while typing.  I cannot see a way to hide the keyboard when typing a mail message. I saw a post saying you close, save, go to your saved messaes and open the message again - too time consuming.  There is a fix on the jailbroken site, but I dont want to jailbreak the phone.  There must be a way to hide the keyboard in a mail messge.  In a text message you can.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Edit
    I CAN, but not fully for a preview, as the text box goes up completely after 80 odd characters on the iPhone.
    So, now i cannot see a previous message for reference.
    Apple needs to incorporate a  'hide keyboard' button

  • How do i fix my keyboard its typing symbols

    Please assist me in my quest to fix my keyboard. I am currently typing from alternative computer. Just a few hours ago, my keyboard started typing in symbols and Latin instead of letters and not Latin. I did not do anything. I did not reset my language. WHAT IS GOING ON? HOW CAN I FIX IT?

    I bought an iMac yesterday, and this morning it's doing the same thing. I've been asked to take it back to the store tomorrow, which is such a pain.
    I have also found that in safari it will download the page instead of opening it, unless I open in a new window. It does the same thing in all apps, but only after you've been typing a few sentences, which all appear ok. I have tried disabling the alt key, which did not work, and checked languages etc, and all set to English....
    Any thoughts? Thankfully my macbook is ok, otherwise I'd be really stuck!!
