Missing keys with ultrabook pro keyboard helix 2

I recieved my Helix 2 the other day, and the tablet portion works perfectly, but the upgraded keyboard that I ordered with it came with 2 missing keys. Is there a way I can return just the keyboard and get a new one free? Or do i have to send the whole unit in...?

  • Apple Mac mini g4 with Apple Pro Keyboard shift key stuck on

    Hey guys,
    My mac mini g4 with Apple Pro keyboard has it's shift key stuck on and will not disable, this happened after I cleaned the keys with a "magic eraser" and is probably water damage, but when it is plugged into a PC the shift key is off and can be toggled as should be. Any help will be appericiated and if I can fix this it will save the faithful keyboard. Thanks in advance!

    Thank you chorleyman! I just need a cheap platform for Logic to run, I'm not an advanced user, just to play for my soul. I'm usually using Windows based platforms, that's why I was confused about this particular model.
    So if it looks good I think I will order this hardware next week.
    If anyone have any more thoughts about the topic, please feel free to comment here! Thank you!

  • Helix 2 - Connected Standby Issues - USB xHCI Controller and Ultrabook Pro Keyboard

    Hi,
    my Helix 2015 (20CG001BGE) is somehow not foing into connected standby. The sleepstudy report shows that the Mobile 5th Generation Intel Core USB xHCI Controller has an activity time of 100%, so I think here is the problem.
    Furthermore, when I disable NFC the system idle process is taking about 15% of the CPU usage and is preventing the system additionally from getting into connected standby.
    Does anybody have an idea how to fix these problems. Thanks!

    I installed/reinstalled every driver from Lenovo's website. While the new NFC driver solved the system idle process issue (I don't get why it wasn't updated by System Update), the USB xHCI controller still won't sleep. However, running powercfg -energy I was able to get some more information. It seems that the controller can not sleep, since one of the connected devices won't go to sleep. This device has to be part of the Ultrabook Pro Keyboard, since I do not have the issue when the tablet is undocked. Here are some of the powercfg results:
    Hostcontroller ID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9CB1
    Hostcontroller location: PCI bus 0, device 20, function 0
    Device ID: USB\VID_2109&PID_2811
    Portpath: 3
    Thanks for your help!

  • Helix 2. Gen - Ultrabook Pro Keyboard scratches display

    Hi,
    I really like my new Helix 2. Gen and in general I cannot complain about the design and build quality.
    However, it really annoys me that there is nothing to protect the screen from touching the Ultrabook Pro Keyboard when the machine is folded.  There are some rubber bumpers on the keyboard's sides, but since the tablet is able to bend that's just not enough. Having several scratches on the screen after two weeks is just no acceptable for a machine that claims to be of high build quality. Is anybody else having the same issues? Thanks.

  • No function key with apple wireless keyboard

    I recently purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard. I have it working just fine with my macbook pro, and want to use keyboard special characters as a mouse because I'll be using my old laptop as a TV entertainment computer. The only problem is that the function key seems to not exist, which is crucial in order to use special keys as mouse movement keys. If I bring up the keyboard viewer and type with the wireless keyboard, the keyboard viewer shows the keyboard layout without a funciton key. I would expect something like this with a non-apple peripheral, but not a standard apple keyboard. What must be done to enable or have all of the keyboard's keys, function key in particular, recognized?
    BTW - I did apply the firmware update for the keyboard, but to no avail.
    OS X 10.5.8

    Hi mate,
    This worked for me:

  • HT5633 use of fn key with Apple Wireless Keyboard MC184LL/B

    Are the rules for using the fn key with the most recent
    Apple Wireless Keyboard MC184LL/B posted anywhere on Apple's site?  Thanks.

    Unfortunately i don't have a solution to your issue, but I thought I would mention the same issue with the new keyboard (MC184LL/B) and the iPad 2 running ios 4.3.5.  None of the function keys work as they should. 
    I recently received the older model (MC184LL/A) from FutureShop (Canada's sister to Best Buy) and everything works fine.  Perhaps you should seek out and buy the older model before they are phased out. 
    My only concern in saying this is I hope the update to ios 5 does not cause the older model keyboard to suddenly lose function key performance.  Similarly, I'm not sure the older model keyboard will work if you upgrade to Lion.
    I called Apple support about this issue and they found some info on the same iPad forums I have read, but they had no inside scoop on whether the issue was going to be addressed in further ios (or Mac OS) updates. 
    If you want to keep your new keyboard, you might just have to wait and see if the issue is resolved.   

  • Problem with macbook pro keyboard - MID 2011

    Hi all, I have problems with my macbook pro keyboard.
    I have several keyboard letter that bother me, the letters are e,y,d,h,c & n
    When I hit letter 'e', it will come out as 'ey'..
    When I hit letter 'y', it will come out as 'ey'..
    When I hit letter 'd', it will come out as 'dh'..
    When I hit letter 'h', it will come out as 'dh'..
    When I hit letter 'c', it will come out as 'cn'..
    When I hit letter 'n', it will come out as 'cn'..
    please help me out..?

    If it turns out to be a hardware problem with the keyboard and the repair is done through Apple, be prepared for a sticker-shock price to fix it. The problem is that Apple considers the keyboard as an integral part of the top-half of the aluminun enclosure (it's called the top case & is CNC milled and quite complex)...to Apple, it is considered one-piece and one part number (top case). The keyboard is held onto the top case with many (~60) very tiny screws and this entire top case is the part that will be replaced. They will NOT replace only the keyboard.
    I had the power button quit on my Late 2011 MacBook Pro 13". To fix it through Apple would've cost well over $500. The power button is part of the keyboard assembly (it's not removable from the keyboard and uses the same flex cable assembly) so the keyboard itself needs to be changed. I found the exact replacement keyboard on eBay for ~$30 and changed it myself. There is absolutely nothing trivial about replacing it. It was a huge pain in the butt, especially swapping the keyboard on the top case with all of those teenie-tiny screws. It took me the better part of a day to do it but I've had experience with this type of work for at least 20 years now. If I need to do it again for some reason, it will likely be quicker.
    Just beware that a repair could cost some big bucks, even if it's only "just the keyboard".

  • Startup keys with new Apple Keyboard and MacBook Pro

    Upon powering up my Rev. A MBP, I hold down the OPTION key on the new Apple Keyboard to select my startup disk. Strangely, the startup went straight into the default startup disk that I have chosen previously. I didn't get to selection stage.
    I tried with the old/white Apple Keyboard and my MBP keyboard and startup disk selector is A-Okay.
    I hooked up the new keyboard to my new Mac mini and did the same thing and no problem.
    Haven't tried with the rest of the startup keys like C or X yet with the MBP. Wonder is this a software bug between the MBP and keyboard.
    Anyone with similar experience?

    Actually, startup keys sequences do work with the Apple Wireless Keyboard (the old white one). I know because I have been using it that way with my Macs, PPC and Intel ones.
    I tried Command-V, Command-S, Option, T, C and Shift on the new keyboard with my Rev. A MBP and it goes go straight into the Apple logo.
    Swapped back to the old Apple Keyboard with my MBP and tried the keys above and no problems whatever so.
    Hooked up the new Apple Keyboard to my new Mac mini and did the same keys without problems.
    So, my conclusion is there something between the new keyboard and Rev. A MBP. Maybe someone with similar setup should try wha I did and see if they face the same issues.

  • Intermittent missing keystrokes on macbook pro keyboard..hardware/software?

    I have a mb pro 2ghz core duo and have recently been having keyboard problems. Intermittently, my keyboard will not recognize keypresses from the following keys:
    zero -
    p
    ; return
    Sometimes when I reboot they work. I have to carry an external keyboard with me on the road otherwise I can't use the laptop. Do you think this is a software or hardware issue? When I use Cmd-S at startup, I boot to the root prompt and things seem to work at the command line interface. I type reboot to get into os X gui environment, then its hit or miss. I hate to send in my mac for a software issue and wish someone could shed some light on this for me.

    Search "keyboard delay", "keyboard sleepy", or "missing keystrokes" . At this moment no fix. Just a half worarround.

  • Lion - Issues with MacBook Pro Keyboards

    I have a 17" early 2008 MacBook Pro. It's Intel Core Duo 2.
    Since installing Lion, I seem to be having issues with its built-in keyboard, such as Command + C randomly not working on some apps, most recently Google Docs. But also with Bean and another text edit app I use.
    Does anyone know if this issue will be addressed, maybe via a firmware update at some point for the older MacBook Pros?
    Thanks,
    Alisa

    Well, if you are on the road you could try to do this:
    1. boot with the Alt key pressed
    2. select the recovery drive
    3. reinstall Lion
    Hope you left a backup at home!
    Good luck...

  • Zoom keyboard shortcut won't work with "Italian Pro" keyboard, Zoom keyboard shortcut won't work with "Italian Pro" keyboard

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to get to the bottom of this mystery. "Italian Pro" is the keyboard I use almost all the time, and for some reason this zoom shortcut won't work. Another user assured me that "cmd-+" is the shortcut also in that keyboard. Mine doesn't work though. I have tried removing the keyboard and reapplying it. I've tried to use it on different browsers and different applications. I've even created another user and logged into that, installing the keyboard there. Nothing has worked, so can anyone suggest anything? What do I do next? (I know it doesn't seem like much but the issue really interferes with the flow of my things) Thank you!

    Is Italian Pro
    a. the keyboard, or,
    b. the keyboard layout
    you use all the time?

    What zoom are you talking about?
    The View > Zoom In command in Safari or Preview?
    The Universal Access > Zoom In function?
    The Zoom In command in some other app, eg, InDesign?
    Some other Zoom entirely?
    Another user assured me that "cmd-+" is the shortcut also in that keyboard.
    If we're talking about (b) and (1), then this 'other user' (his initials wouldn't be TG, would it?) was right. My keyboard is US QWERTY, and, if I switch to Italian Pro, ⌘-+ works. However, as the 'other user' has already told you, to do ⌘-+ with the Italian Pro keylayout on the US QWERTY keyboard, you have to press simultaneously the keys labelled ⌘ and ] -- as you can easily see in Keyboard Viewer.

  • Problems with MacBook Pro keyboard

    Several months ago I spilled sauce on my keyboard and several keys became difficult to hit. Since then I have been using a Bluetooth keyboard with no problems. Now, the last several days, the original keyboard has been causing many issues: cannot scroll with external mouse, cannot open links in Safari and same links in Chrome go to brand new windows, and rebooting my computer has put it in safe mode where I can't access many things. Is there something I can do to disable the old keyboard or would I need to take it in to be fixed?

    Before assuming the problem is with the keyboard itself, I'd be wondering about the ribbon cable that connects it , IvanBaby.
    Have a look at http://jasonrobb.com/2008/11/24/macbook-pro-unresponsive-keyboard-trackpad-solut ion/ and at THIS PAGE TOO

  • Problem with MacBook Pro keyboard backlight after migrating from pb dlsd

    Can anybody help please? I\ve got this very annoying problem where the keyboard light doesn't work properly in my main user a/c which I migrated in from my powerbook 1.67. Ir is obviously something to do with imported library settings but I can't find how to get it to work properly - new user a/cs set up on the mbp work as they should. Unfortunately I have a n enormous pile of configurations which I need to continue using from my old a/c

    How old is your MacBook Pro? If it didn't ship with 10.4.10, then maybe you can run the 10.4.10 combo updater for Intel over again:

    If it did ship with 10.4.10, sometimes hardware issues like these can be repaired by a simple zap of PRAM:

  • CS 4 custom shortcuts and function keys with apple extended keyboard

    Hi all,
    the F-Keys from F1 to F12 work fine, but F13 to F16 get entered as F3 (F17 to F19 do not get recognized at all).
    Has to be an Illustrator CS4 problem since they are recognized in InDesign or Photoshop CS4 (except the F17 and up).
    Anyone can help?
    And yes, I tried using all as standard function keys ;-)

    I just got the new keyboard today I have the same issue... have you had any luck in finding a work around?  I just got off the phone with tech support and they told me that it is a known issue and to wait for an update be either Adobe or Apple.  It is not an Apple problem, it is an Adobe problem.
    For the time being, I have just made it so that I have to hit the "fn" (function) key in order to control the media options on the F-Keys.  This seems to work for now since I use shortcuts on those keys more than the media options.

  • Disable F-keys on Macbook Pro keyboard?

    Hey,
    As I sometimes use my Macbook Pro for work (programming that is), I sometimes need the F-keys for shortcuts the programs I use. (For instance, IDEA).
    Is there some way to disable - temporarily - the OS X shortcuts on the F-keys so other programs can use them?
    Thanks in advance!

    Use the checkbox in the "Keyboard" tab of "Keyboard" system preference.
