Keyboard letter issues.

All of a sudden i was unable to use my S, D, and F keys but i can only use them if i hold down my A key. How would i be able to fix this so i wouldn't have to hold down my A key?

U330 Diagnostics Program and Keyboard Sensor Issues

I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I've been searching for awhile now and can't find it.
I was wondering if there was any type of diagnostics program for the U330 to test my cpu, fans and the general hardware.
Also i was wondering if anyone else with the U330 notices any keyboard sensor issues. Such as, I have to press firmly in the middle of the keys for it to register. Or I have to press firmly on the "T" or "Y" button for it to register the click. It's very bothersome and I was wondering if anyone else with a U330 has a similar issue?

What do you mean by testing cpu/fan/ram? You can test cpu by OCCT or S&M and you can test RAM by memtest86+
Regarding keyboard - you should have it replaced, it's a common faoult in some ideapads.

X201 Ultrabase Keyboard / Mouse Issues

Hello,
I have recently deployed 3 identical X201 systems with the Ultrabase to some of my users, they are imaged systems and should all work virtually the same but one is having an odd quirk. If he turns the system on while it is docked, the external mouse & keyboard he has connected to the Ultrabase do not respond unless he first opens the laptop and uses the normal keyboard / touchpad. I can't see any reason for this to be happening but I am hoping someone has come across this before, hopefully it is not an issue with the dock itself.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

X100e keyboard/mouse issues

Hi Folks,
I've been having trouble with my recently purchased x100e (running Windows 7), and I'm hoping that someone may be able to help me out. I've been looking through the forums and on the web for solutions, but no luck.
Starting a few days ago, I notice that whenever I press a button on the keyboard, a dialog box pops up to ask me if I want to display the Trackpoint Guide. This prevents me from typing anything longer than one keystroke, because the dialog box just comes back when I hit the next key regardless of pressing "Yes" or "No." Additionally, whenever I press a key, the cursor changes from the standard pointer to the scroll icon that would display if I was pressing the middle mouse/scroll button above the trackpad. Furthermore, the middle mouse/scroll button above the trackpad no longer works when pressed.
I have noticed that it is possible to disable the Trackpoint dialog box from coming up by clicking the "do not display this message" option, but the cursor issue persists no matter what. The laptop is hardly a month old. I use antivirus, anti-spyware, etc. I have tried updating the mouse/trackpoint driver and also rolling it back to the originally installed driver, but neither step seems to resolve the issue. I thought that perhaps I had inadvertently changed some of the mouse settings, so I did a factory reset on the machine. Unfortunately, that didn't solve the issue either. I did an extra factory reset just to make sure. I've run anti-virus and anti-malware scans to see if anything would show up, but nothing does. This one really has me perplexed. If there's anyone out there who could offer any advice, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hi onlylive2x,
Welcome to Lenovo Forums.
Could you try doing a factory reset without installing any antivirus or antispyware and see if there are any keyboard/mouse issues? This could be some software which is causing a conflict with the mouse drivers.

Do you find that connecting to a Bluetooth keyboard creates issues w/ the new iPad's performance?

Do you find connecting to a Bluetooth keyboard creates issues w/ the new iPad's performance?

I have an Adesso case with bluetooth keyboard for my iPad 2. No affect on performance. Keybord easier to use compared to on-screen keyboard. Plus it has more keys compared to on-screen keyboard.

[Athlon64] Keyboard Recognization issue...

Quote from: dacull on 11-September-05, 06:06:15
So seems this keyboard issue remains nearly a year after i first reported it atleast..
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=61832.0
I managed to find one PS2 keyboard that gave me enough functionality to be able to turn on the USB, then switch to a USB keyboard that solved any instability problems, no problems since then.
The only advice i can say is completely remove power, when you switch power on all the LEDs on your PS2 keyboard should flash. if they dont, switch off and then on again until they flash, then press the reset button to startup your computer.
as you know USB is disabled by default :(
I completely unhooked every component, making my case just as empty as the day I got it. Every single part detached from one another...
I then hooked up all the absolute bare minimum components, and on power-on, and after several power-ons, the PS/2 keyboard did NOT flash, unfortunitly. However, I noticed the USB keyboard hooked into the USB slots DOES flash. I have decided to juist pay the shipping fee and have newegg replace the mobo. Better safe than sorry. I am sure if my PS/2 slot wasnt defective, the mobo wouldn't have given me a single problem and would be easy as pie to set up for my first build. I am confident however that MSI does make great stuff. I hope my replacement works as smoothly as MSI has a reputation for. Thanks for all your help.

Late 2013 13" MBPr unresponsive (not keyboard/mouse issue)

Hi all,
I am running a 2013 13"MBPr with 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM and 2.8i7.
I have updated the firmware to fix the keyboard/mouse issue.
My problem is the computer hanging or unresposive when using other programs.
I thought this was a problem with Chrome which I use for browsing as I had a simialr issue with my 2010 MBP 15".
But yesterday it hung in Mail.
Apple Diagnostics was fine.
I have tried uninstall and reinstall of Chrome. I run a few extensions but have reduced these as much as possible. Only use Adblocker, 1password, Papers and Quidco apps.
I will try to reinstall mavericks and see how it goes. Hopefully I get some luck.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks

Thanks Clinton,
Well It came with mavericks and I will reinstall tonight to see if it helps.
Called apple today and they suggested a reinstall.
In the mean time I have put a refund order thorugh for this computer and reorded it. So I guess this will rule out hardware issues. The only issue is the same spec computer is only expecting delviery between 9th to 16th December!!!
So may be without a computer for a while.
Happy to read that you suggest only perfection as this is what I expect.
Cheers

Keyboard Functionality Issues in Finder (Mac OS X 10.5.4)

I've recently begun to experience loss of the functionality of my keyboard in Finder on my personal laptop and work computer whenever I have a Wacom tablet plugged in. Restarting and unplugging the tablet sometimes works, but only after the 2-3 try.
Basically, the modifier keys and Function keys continue to work and the middle portion of keyboard fails to respond whenever I try to type a letter or use the spacebar. For example, when I attempt to create a folder it's first untitled. Whenever I try to rename the folder I can highlight the text, I just can't rename the folder. The keys appropriate keys don't work. Now if I use a web browser (Safari 3.1.2) or any other application other than Finder the keyboard functionality returns. I am able to type and use the spacebar, as well as use the other keys. It's as if nothing is wrong.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I recently started to experience it on my work computer and wondered if it had something to do with a Wacom tablet being connected. It seemed whenever I left the tablet unplugged and restarted my Mac everything was normal. Only when the tablet is plugged in does the keyboard functionality loss bother me.
Thanks to any who can help.

Did ever you try the "Relaunch Finder" option in the force quit menu?

Problem with keyboard letter 'N'! PLEASE HELP?!?

Hi there!
I have this problem... my letter 'N' doesn't work... when i press it, it's like i pressed the cmd button and letter 'n' wich it opens a new finder window!
I started to think it was the keyboard it was faulty, but then i installed windows 7 with bootcamp and it worked with no problem in windows...
When the computer starts, if i clean nvram (cmd,option,V,N) it looks like it works too, because it cleans...
Anyone had the same problem? Please?

This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. You should check the reader forum. In the meantime, if you are not running AR9.3 or so, you should update. Prior versions before 9 are not designed for Win7 and that might be your issue -- you gave no indication of version.

Weird keyboard lighting issue -only white background

Hi Guys
I am a bit stumped, for some reason my keyboard only shows white light instead of colours. If i log off and on some times the colours do change (some times only). I have updated the BIOS and steel series engine, steel series does come up every now and then with "driver not avaliable.application will exit now". i installed the one from MSI and from Steel series website and still nothing. This only started after i closed the lid (sleep mode) and let the battery run flat.
Please if you guys can assist

Have you tried un-installing both steelseries engine then re-download one from msi website and see if issue remains?

Keyboard sound issue / camera overheats a bit faster once again after 5.1.1

Let us know when you do

i dunno i think there is an issue with the keyboard sound. Like for example when you type "Hello" supposedly you will hear 5 clicks right!? but for some reason you will only hear 4. Its like the phone is having hard time catching up on what you are typing. Its not synchronize. Also camera overheat a bit faster again. not happening with the previous version done hard reset and reupdate using pc companion still the same.

IPad Keyboard Dock Issue

I've had this problem for the past month or so where my iPad wont connect, or loses connection with the dock. I sometimes have to take the iPad off and then place it on the dock again several times before it is recognized. It will disconnect sometimes during typing, seemingly at random.
I dont have any problems connecting with a sync cable, which leads me to think the issue is with the physical connector in the keyboard dock itself. This design in general seems a little thrown together for Apple. The iPad has a tendency to rock on the connector, and avoiding this motion with a touch interface is next to impossible.
Is anyone else having this issue?

Wow, thanks so much for posting this problem and the solution.    I almost tossed my Apple Keyboard Dock for iPad into the trash, because I was so frustrated and couldn't get the Dock to work.
I fiddled with the Dock when I first got it about a month ago.   I then put it aside with the intention to just trash the unit.
I accidentally stumbled onto your posting, and I was very skeptical as I had tried everything I could think of to make the Dock work.   But I said, "What the heck!" and picked up the unit again.
I was absolutely stunned when the solution worked for me!
It is still quite irritating in having to wedge something behind the iPad, in order to make the iPad lean forward onto the connector.   I can't believe that Apple actually manufactured such a poorly designed Dock.
And Apple is supposed to be tops when it comes to Design, Fit, and Engineering. (sigh)
But at least I now know now that I can put the Dock to use with my iPad, if and when the occasion arises.
I actually had a similar problem with the Kindle 3 and the GSI Desktop Dock for it (also sold by Amazon).   It also required that I wedge something behind the Kindle 3, in order to make it sit forward onto the connector.   Again quite irritating and annoying for such bad design!!!     Instead, I turned to the CrazyOnDigital version of the Kindle 3 Dock, and it worked fine!
Design, Engineering, and Fit -- let's at least get that right, Amazon and Apple, please!!!

Keyboard Backlighting issue?

Hi all. I'm having an issue with my new MBP... (Don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a flaw with the MBP)
This has only happened when I wake my MBP from sleep and it's on battery power (haven't tried it plugged in yet... I'm currently at work). If I try to adjust the backlight for the keyboard, it doesn't work. There is a small circle with a line through it when I try to raise/lower the light (kind of like a no smoking sign). Whats going on? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I just got back from the genius bar, feeling like a fool, because my keyboard backlight would not turn on, even after checking all the settings in system preferences and pressing f8 and f10 and covering the speaker grilles to no avail. The Genius put his hands over the speaker grilles and asked me to push f10. Nothing happened. then he said hold down f10, and the keyboard backlight turned on! I said thanks and assumed it was user error, then drove 45 minutes back home. Now I am at home and the keyboard backlight won't turn on! The HUD display now shows how bright it should be and the display reacts to the covering of the speakers just fine. I am so frustrated. I was on hold for 41 minutes and now am on hold for 43 minutes after talking to someone who was going to get the genius back on the line with me. I just got the MBP back from repair where they replaced the logic board, and I assumed the reason it didn't work was that something didn't get plugged in all the way upon reassembly, and now I wonder that again...
If there is anything else software related I can do to troubleshoot this, please let me know.

HT1338 Keyboard Backlight Issue

Hi Everyone,
I was recently advised to reinstall Lion due to long start-up times. After reinstalling, I noticed that the keyboard backlight was no longer working. I have read many other threads advising what to do but this is what I have done as far:
Reset SMC and PRAM
Cover iSight to establish the ALS is working (it is)
Use the F5/F6 keys to change the intensity - these work because the graphic comes up when I press them but they have no effect on the backlight
Installed LabTick (had no effect)
Even after all of this my keyboard backlight remains off.
I would really appreciate help into my issue.
Thanks.

Hi, zrosignal - Try creating a new user account, then log in to that account and see if the problem repeats itself. If the keyboard backlighting works as expected in the new account, log back in to your original user account and go to yourusername/Library/Preferences and delete the file com.apple.BezelServices.plist, then log out and back in again or restart and see if the problem is fixed.
If the issue repeats itself in the new account you create, then you may have a hardware problem (which is probably no more serious than a loose cable connection).
Let us know what happens.
Good luck!

Two different keyboard layout issues

I have two computers, each with a separate issue that's been driving me nuts:
1. My G5 PowerMac (running 10.4) is set to use the Dvorak layout. That's it. It's the only one selected in the input menu list. Not even the standard US layout is selected. However, what kills me is that if I have to start up the computer holding down keys (like booting to a CD, resetting the Pram or PMU, etc.), or when I logout as one user and have to enter a password to log in again (yes, I know fast user switching bypasses this, but I still have to do it this way on occasion), the computer defaults to the US Qwerty keyboard layout. Is there a way to shut that off completely? It's driving me nuts because my keyboard doesn't show me the Qwerty layout and I have to rack my brain trying to remember where the letters are.
2. On my G4 PowerMac (running 10.4) I have to toggle between Dvorak and Qwerty (my wife uses one, I use the other, and I don't want to set us up on different accounts). The problem is, the system toggles it back and forth all the time without warning--going to form fields, switching between apps, etc. There was a time (back with Panther for one of the updates), when a layout would stick the whole time until I switched it to the other, but it hasn't done it for a while. Is this a bug, or is there a workaround?
Thanks.

Here is a solution to problem 1, i had this problem a couple of months ago and eventually managed to figure it out.
1. Go to: System preferences->accounts->login options
2. Turn on: Show input menu in login window
u can now use whatever language for login
if u want it as default
1. log out
2. change language
3. sign in
4. Turn off the thing u just turned on
it is now the default
it seems to be another setting entirly
As for the second issue i am currently having that issue and as yet have not found a solution.
let me know if u figure something out for it
