My caps lock LED is not working

my laptop (splitx2 ultrabook) is hardly a month old and the capslock LED has already stopped working. initially it would just get dim and burn out eventually but now it won't show up at all. i tried updating the bios and system recovery and everything
please help. my pc is hardly a month old

Its likely that the keyboard is broken somehow physically, and should be replaced if you are not happy with it. Call or chat HP for a repair order.

  • CAPS LOCK light is not working

    Hello dear guys, 
    Had a problem today - some keyboard keys didn't work properly. 
    I opened the laptop (Pavilion G6 2241sa) cover and saw that keyboard cable was loose. I reconnected it properly, closed the cover and switched laptop on. Now, all  keys are working fine, BUT CAps Lock light is not working well. Key is functioning, but when I press it - the light come on, but as soon as I release the key - the light goes off. Light doesn't stay. Also when the actual function of caps lock is on, when I press any other key the light come on the surface of Caps lock key but it is dim. 
    I recheched keyboard cable again - all is fine, but Caps lock light doesn't stay on when pressed. 
    I do practice typing for the last 3 months for few hours each day, so I guess it also affects the life span of my keyboard.
    Would appreciate any insights about this Caps Lock light. Many thanks, Vit
    This question was solved.

    Hi there @vitsirius 
    I understand that the Caps Lock LED is not working, after you had fixed a loose connection to your keyboard.
    You may want to walk through this page and see if something may help

    Also for your convenience here is the maintenance guide. It is possible when you were working on it one of the of the other connections was loose or became so.

  • Caps lock key does not work...

    my caps lock key was working perfectly up until 10-15 minutes ago.
    when i press my caps lock key, the little light on the key does not turn on and all of my letters remain in lowercase.
    i thought perhaps something was stuck underneath the key, but when i took the key off - nothing was there. i placed it back on and still the caps lock key does not work.
    does anyone have any ideas as to why the problem could be and how to fix it?

    Finally found something that worked for me. See this thread and look for the post about removing the Hitoolbox plist files.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10765093&#10765093
    I removed all of them. (Had multiples) Also make sure you empty the trash afterwards.
    Then restart.
    Then I used the modifier key trick in this thread. Turned off the caps lock key. Then restart.
    Then use the modifier key trick and turn the caps lock key back on. Test to see if your lights come back on for the caps lock key.
    If so, next time you restart it should still work. Finally. This thing has been dogging me for a long time.

  • Satelite P50-A-14E - Caps lock key is not working

    Hi all,
    My CAPS LOCK key is not working on my Satelite P50-A-14E series laptop. Just realized while writing an email that is not working so is more or less sudden. Nothing has been spilled on it. Here is what I've checked so far:
    - green light indicating that CAPS is LOCKED illuminates while pressing the key from on screen keyboard
    - keyboard backlight doesn't start when I press the key but It works for the key itself when pressing any other key.
    - tried a clean boot but no result.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hi
    > Just realized while writing an email that is not working so is more or less sudden.
    Did you test the CAPS LOCK button using different software: internet browser, word or another editor?
    How about the usage of external keyboard?
    From my point of view there are two possible malfunctions: either there is some problem with the software you are using or the internal keyboard simply malfunctions and in such case the keyboard replacement will solve the problem.
    You could test the external USB keyboard. In case the USB external keyboard CAPS LOCK button would functions, then the internal keyboard has to be replaced for sure.

  • Caps lock green light not working after coke spill. Help!?

    Hello.
    I accidentally spilled some coke on my brand new macbook pro! I can't believe how horrible this year has been for me so far. I rarely even drink coke! Anyway, I cleaned my macbook with some dry towels, then some laptop cleansing wipes and then I used a vacuum cleaner to get all the liquid out from underneath the keyboard. Everything's working fine. It's just that my keys are super sticky. Any help with that? I tried taking the keys off and cleaning them - no luck so far.
    Then I realized that the backlights from some of the keys aren't as strong as the other ones.. Can I do something about it?
    Also today I realized that the green light from the caps lock button isn't working properly. It lights up whenever it wants to and such. Help?
    If I was to take my laptop to get it fixed, what would it all cost me? My macbook is barely a month old and I've already caused such a chaos.
    Could anyone give me a decent answer to my questions? It would be very much appreciated!

    I'll take it to a friend who's an IT tomorrow. If he says that I must take it to the repair facility then I definitely will. Also, it wasn't a dollar can of coke. I had a glass which I didn't even take next to my MBP. Then for a second to plug in my charger, I put it down next to it and that happened. It's not sloppy care. I take care of it more than I've taken care of anything. Spilling coke on it was my mistake and I hope it'll never happen again. I am facing the consequences. For anyone else who's in the same situation or is just interested- I'll let you know how this works out.

  • Caps lock with number not working for main password

    hello when I start my macbook pro I have a login with numbers in it so I use the caps lock to write it but it doesn't work I have to use shift instead!!! when I use the caps lock for writing mail or anything numbers work fine with it!!! Anyone have an idea??
    thk  sam

    If you used the Shift key to originally enter your password with the number keys the Caps Lock key does NOT do the same thing as Shift for the number keys.
    This is Shift and numbers,
    #^*)$@&
    This is Caps LOCK WITH NUMBER KEYS,
    1234455667788999
    As you see the Caps Lock only works for typing LETTERS Not Numbers or any other symbol found on the keyboard.
    To be able to use all the upper case symbols you need to use the Shift key.><?":{}+_)(*&^%$#@!~

  • Caps/Num lock LED indicators not working in gnome

    I have a qPad MK-85 mechanical keyboard, and I can't seem to get the LED status indicators for the lock keys to work.
    The CAPS and NUM lock function still works, but I don't have any indication whether they'r'e on or not.
    It only seems to be under gnome I have this problem, because they're working just fine in grub, windows, and tty2-6.
    I have done a search and it seems a lot of other people with mechanical keyboards have the same problem, but no solutions.
    So.. anyone here have any solutions?
    Edit: tested in xfce, not working there either

  • Caps Lock light indicator not working

    The light indicator in the caps lock key on my PB don't work. It was not working when I bought my computer but seems to work fine a couple of weeks ago. Now, it's gone another time and I suspect a software problem but I can' t find anything to make it work. Any clues?

    If the caps lock still "works" even though the light doesn't turn on then it could be hardware problem I suppose...but I thought LEDs don't burn out(?) so I'm curious to see the resolution of this.

  • HT1192 caps lock function does not work after latest update

    Hi there,
    I have a Macbook 13" Early 2011 and recently after updating my operating system to Mac OS X 10.7.4, i have found that the caps lock button isn't functioning.
    At present if i hold or press the button, it is failing to light up or function at all.
    Is there a fix for this issue, as i have read that there was an update by Apple to stop accidental pressing of this key, however not being able to access its function at all seems to be unusual.
    Your thoughts and opinions would be much appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Robsterhill101

    My Macbook Pro Early 2011 15"  (base model) did this to me last night.
    I did a PRAM Reset, the generic "Cure All Procedure" for Macs. It worked after, but I noticed that the button had to be pressed at just the right angle and with enough pressure. The light would come on and off and Caps Lock functions properly. Continued as normal.
    I put the computer to sleep by simply closing the lid, and then put myself to sleep as well.
    This morning, just before I came on here, my computer would NOT wake from sleep (a whole other issue). Would not wake up by pressing the power button. So I had to do a hard reset, hold the power button down, and press it again after...grrr I never feel good being forced to do this.
    Anyways long story a little bit shorter, I restarted my computer and low-and-behold the Cap Lock is not working again. No Bueno, Cupertino.
    No, sorry, no liquid damage on the keys, and I don't have kids, nor share my computer with anyone but myself.
    Its one of the few things that bug me about this computer. The other is the issue of the computer not being able to wake from sleep. Too often.

  • Keyboard Caps Lock Led No Longer Working

    I've rarely pressed the caps lock on this keyboard and now the led has stopped working. The computer is barely a year old.

    All of the fixes suggested can work with the SMC reset seeming to be the easiest certain correction. I have noticed this is happening less often than a half-year ago so it would lead me to believe that something has improved in the system.

    Have a 2006 MacBook Pro with wireless mouse and Keyboard.  Some of keys (caps lock, tab) on KB do not work any longer.  I attempted to replace wireless KB with wired KB, but could not find one that was compatible with Snowleopard (10.6.8) OS.  Would like to replace KB with either another wireless KB or wired KB. 
    However, in view of the scarcity of the above items, it appears I might serve myself better by fixing my current KB.  Any suggestions?

  • Caps lock LED not working consistantly --SOLVED

    Not so much a question as an answer. I searched earlier for an answer to why my caps lock LED would not light up. Still no clue, but I found a quick fix. Press and hold power button for wireless keyboard until it disconnects from the computer. Wait 20 seconds and turn back on. This should solve it completely. 

    Hey,
    Sorry to hear about the keyboard problem.
    In a post a while back had this to say.  He makes a suggestion that the keyboard might need to be replaced, then the person with the question tried something else.  You might take a look and see if there's something there that will help.
    Thanks for coming to the forum.
    Hope I helped,
