My built-in  key board has stopped working how can i fix this?

my built-in key board has stopped working all of a sudden how can i fix this?

Did you spill any liquids on your keyboard?  If you are in the habit of eating and drinking while using your computer, the keyboard is probably dirty.  Use a can of compressed air or a vacuum hose to remove the debris underneath the key.  If that does not work, you may actually have a hardware issue.
If you Apple Care, call them and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
NOTE:  If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with.   They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
      If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

  • I am trying to open a program I downloaded and it says compileBot has stopped working how can I fix this

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>

    I have a program called commission killer that I have downloaded and I can't open it because it says compileBot has stopped working. It then tells me to either close the program or have Windows look for a solution and then it closes without any solution. I want to be able to use this program and yet I don't know what to do to correct this. I have deleted it closed the firewall and the security program AVG but that didn't work either when I redownloaded the program. Any suggestions>?

  • I upgraded to Firefox 4 and my toolbar didn't load, now Firefox won't start automatically saying a script has stopped working. how can I fix this?

    Before Firefox will load I have to stop a script message that appears saying that the script for this page is either busy or stopped working. Once I hit stop Firefox will load as normal but without doing this step it will not load at all. Once it is loaded the toolbar has not been loaded and I am told to reinstall the toolbar but I have not been able to do so.

  • Photoshop elements 7.0 (organizer) has stopped working, how do I fix this?

    photoshop elements 7.0 (organizer) has stopped working, How do I fix this?

    Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
    Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
    Select your catalog and click Repair.  Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
    Then for good measure, click Optimize.
    If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog.  If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
    In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails.  Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.

    Restart Mac and try again.  If you are still having trouble, see Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

    Hello! You've posted your question in the iPhoto for iOS forum. This forum is for questions about using Apple's iPhoto.app on an iPhone or iPad. Do you have an iPhone or iPad that you're synchronizing pictures with your PC? If so, you should probably post your question in the Using iPhone or Using iPad forum. We can also ask the Hosts to move this topic into the correct forum if we know which hardware device you're using.

    Looks like itunes was still trying to communicate with my iphone and got confused when it couldnt find it.    Found this in another post and it worked great.
    Solution:
    Make sure you are not connected to the internet and then open itunes. Sync your phone and then enable the internet again. Then stay connected to the internet and close your itunes and reopen it. Bam problem solved.

  • Webkit2 webprocess exe keeps saying it has stopped working. how do i fix this

    My computer keeps popping up with this message, Webkit2 process Exe has stopped working! How do i fix this problem????

    I wish the issue was going to be as easy to identify as a system rollout! I know you must be extremely worried about having a brand new phone acting this way. Do you get this error message every time you're on a phone call? What kinds of actions prompt the error to pop up and how often is it happening? Share details so we can help find a fix!
    Also, Verizon Wireless does have a 14 day worry free guarantee time frame I want to make you aware of. You would be able to exchange your current Note 4 for another of the same make/model at no charge within that time frame. After the 14 days has been exceeded we can still replace the phone if we need to, but it would be with a Certified Like New Replacement. http://vz.to/1hJXRR0 .
