My OSX 10.5.8 won't type letters f,r and

my OSX 10.5.8 won't type the letters f,r and number 4, also the caps lock will not work, How can I fix this?
It happened after I held the D key trying to get the computer to do a self diagnostic. 
I was also trying to change the language on the computer to English,
I think the problem is related to this,
Should I reset the PRAM?   Any MacBook Pro Experts Out There?
I just want to get this fixed so I can sell it.  If I ever see another MacBook Pro after this It will be to soon 
PLEASE HELP!

I realize your situation may seem different, but see if these tips are helpful.
A PRAM reset would be in order if the former doesn't work.

If none of this works, it may be that there's an issue with the keyboard or software. In that case, you'd best visit your local Apple Store/Genius Bar for help.

  • When I type letters keep repeating and I did change the keyboard

    When I type letters they keep repeating. I have already changed the keyboard.

    Hi there Thernon,
    You may want to double check the key repeat settings. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and every since 2 days ago the screen has been freezing and whenever I try to type or just open or close an app it won't let me and it types letters on the keyboard by itself and I don't know what to do ?

    My iPhone 5 is frozen and when I touch the screen nothing happens? Um it's been going on for 2 days and when I try to type something the keyboard types letters by itself and then when I go to home and try to tap an app it won't let me or open a folder and sometimes it happens and other times it's fine for like an hour until it starts glitching again and freezing. My screen is also cracked but I don't think that's the problem. What should I do cause I have no idea and it's really annoying.

    Hey, There are afew things you can try.
    - Simply turn your phone off and back on again
    - Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
    - Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
    this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
    - Close all open applications
    Hope this helps!

    You possibly have a redemption code which has to be converted into a serial number.

  • I took the system file out of the system folder on os 9.2 can't boot to put file back in machine also has osx 10.2 but won't let me boot to either need os 9 compatible boot disk I think?

    I took the system file out of the system folder on os 9.2 can't boot to put file back in machine also has osx 10.2 but won't let me boot to either need os 9 compatible boot disk I think?

    If the OS X 10.2 on the hard drive is/was bootable, try this -
    Restart or boot, then immediately press the X key, keep it held down until you know the machine has started to boot using OS X. This is a hardware instruction to the Mac to boot using the first usable instance of OS X it finds.
    Once booted to OS X, you should be able to move OS 9's System file into OS 9's System Folder.
    Note - in general, unless you know for sure what you are doing and that the results are desired, do not relocate or rename files in OS 9's System Folder or in OS X's System or Library folders.

  • Won't type the "plus" sign or the underscore

    Hey all,
    So my comp won't type the "plus" sign or the underscore. Shift works with all the other keys, but not those two. I can type = and -, but shift doesn't work with these keys. I can also type ± and — which are "shift alt" and ≠ which is "option =" It's just the underscore and plus sign that won't show up.
    My language is set to English but sometimes I use Spanish as well.
    This problem is not software specific either, it won't type those two characters in any program, be it word processing, browser, or instant messaging.
    Restarting fixes the problem but eventually my ability to type these two characters vanishes.
    Help?

    Check system preferences/speech to make sure that these keys are not set to be the trigger for either speech recognition or text to speech.
    Check system preferences/keyboard/keyboard shortcuts to make sure they are not shortcuts for anything.
    Try setting up another user account and see if the same problem exists when logged into that.

  • TS3048 My Keyboard will connect to my mac (with built-in bluetooth), but when i come to the step to type something in, it won't type. Any help?

    I will pass every step but the keyboard won't type to finish pairing! I've disconnected my other keyboard, and it still wouldn't work.

    Don't just disconnect the other keyboard(s). Also remove their batts.
    And make sure there isn't any still asleep in near-by cup-boards.

  • Lower case letters won't type?! ! ! Is there a reason?

    Hardly any of my lower case letters won't type in
    Dreamweaver. Must have pressed the wrong button somewhere.
    Please help
    Rick

    please confirm that this is or is not happening in a
    half-dozen other
    applications..
    also- is there another spare keyboard you can try.
    also- have you restarted the computer.
