Nine not working on keyboard

My nine key works sporadically. Warranty has expired

Do the shift characters (eg #,$) work? If not it's probably time for new hardware.

I am using iPad1. Running v4.3 and when connecting to wifi iPad keyboard does not work. Keyboard works for everything else including typing this question out. Why would it not work when typingin password for wifi connection?

Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.

Volume & Brightness Controls do not work on Keyboard

I have a five and a half year old Mac (purchased January 2009) running OS X 10.5.8. My keyboard recently became faulty, so I went to the Apple store and bought the exact same thing as a replacement. The keys all appeared to work fine and I was very happy. However, today I tried to play a song from my iTunes library and noticed the volume up and down keys did not work! I then tried all of the keys across the top and discovered that the brightness keys that are identifiable do not work... that in fact the brightness up is the F15 key (when it should be the F2 key) and the brightness down is the F14 key (when it should be the F1 key).
I have read through the forums on these boards and tried all the suggested solutions. I have:
1) Tried checking and unchecking the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys." Restarted the computer. No change. Keys still don't work.
2) Reset the PRAM. Did it three times. No change. Keys still don't work.
3) Rebooted in Safe Mode to delete system caches. Restarted from the Apple menu. No change. Keys still don't work.
4) Someone suggested going to the Apple downloads page, but they didn't follow that suggestion up with anything else. I see updates for keyboard software, however they are all for wireless keyboards. My keyboard is wired, and it has the number pad on the right.
5) Run the command "sudo killall coreaudiod" in Terminal. No change. Keys still don't work.
6) Deleted the com.apple.soundpref.plist file in the Preferences folder in the User Library folder. No change. Keys still don't work.
7) Checked the Audio Midi Setup in Applications to ensure that the settings for output are set to 2ch- 24 bit and 44100.0 Hz for format. Which they are.
I will say that something did work! I downloaded and successfully set the function keys for volume and brightness using Spark (thanks to user turtlenecknz!). I will use this method as I think it is the only thing that will fix my problem (for now, at least). I'm just curious if there is a way to avoid using a software program as I'm not sure if it will need to be re-opened on system restart... for me, it boils down to reliability.
After reading this thread - Re: Mac Aluminum keyboard VOLUME KEYS not remapping - I've determined that the original keyboard I had for this computer was the MB110LL/A model. The Apple store gave me the MB110LL/B model. That is why I'm having this issue. Does Apple even carry the A Model any more? I found the A Model on Amazon, but it's $81 + $6 shipping- yikes! Does anyone know another site that sells it for less?
Any other troubleshooting suggestions are greatly appreciated! And, if anyone knows whether Apple carries the A Model any more (or know someplace I can get one cheaper than $87!), that is appreciated as well! Thank you to anyone that read this rather lengthy message, and then takes the time to respond.

Hello,
Simplest would be to add Spark to your Login items to have it start each time, or in the Dock, right click & choose Open at Login.
eBay might be an option, the black ones are esentially the same as the white ones...

Not work 3 keyboard layouts

Then I use 2 languages, Option "XkbLayout" "us,lt" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then work keyboard layout.
If I use 3 languages in XkbLayout, then not work layout.
There some part of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,lt,ru"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

You didn't tell what's your problem is though. I suppose you just cannot switch layouts with Alt-Shift, right?
Try if Shift-Alt (sic!) works for you. Also try grp:ctrl_shift_toggle (only RightCtrl-Right shift work, LeftCtrl-LeftShift switches to first layout instantly).
alikas wrote:So it is bug?
Yes. Both xkeyboard-config 0.6 and 0.9 are buggy, but bugs are triggered for specific keyboard layout combinations.
For example, I had bug with 0.6 with my xorg config, while many others don't.
0.9 fixed bug for me, but now other people have problems.
As you may see in that bug report the problem mostly depends on XkbLayout combination, though I thought it was due to grp:alt_shift_toggle first.

Satellite P300 - One Key not working on keyboard

Hi all,
Does anyone have a suggested solution to fix a key not working on my laptop? One letter on my keyboard "the letter b" has stopped working.
Laptop is Satellite P300- "PSPCA-01U013"
Thanks :)

Hi Ricco1,
The problem is that single keys cant be replaced so if a certain key doesnt work its time to replace the whole keyboard but dont worry, new keyboards are not so expensive. Just get in contact with an authorized service provider and ask for a new keyboard, the guys are able to order a new one and they can replace it for you if cant do this yourself.
Here you can find a list of all ASPs:

Certain keys not working on keyboard

When attempting to hit the "O" key and or the "P" key it hits the letter above and or around the requested keys. Does anyone else have a problem when attempting to text someone and you can't hit either key? Extremely frustrating!

Yes, the "magic rice trick" doesnt work.
inexpensive repair? No.
Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

Auto-capitalization does not work with Keyboard Dock attached.

I purchased the Apple iPad Keyboard Dock with my iPad. Auto-capitalization works fine with the on screen keyboard, but when I connect the keyboard dock, it does not work.

Your statement is correct. Was there a question?

A few keys not working - faulty keyboard?

Hi,
A friend of mine (honest!) spilt a v.small amount of water on her keyboard on her 2.16ghz 17" MBP and decided to dry it out using a hair dryer.
One melted keyboard later and I was asked to replace her keyboard for her.
So having bought and fit a new keyboard, keys are not working and 1 is intermittant. These keys are: f10, f11, 0, - and p ([ is intermittant).
They are all grouped together near the top right of the keyboard.
Twice I have tried to ensure the keyboard ribbon cable is firmly in place and it seems to be. Is the new keyboard I bought likely to be faulty and there needs returning, or could this be some other problem.
Thanks in advance for all your thoughts!
Dominic

Did the new keyboard come with a new cable? You might want to carefully examine the cable under strong magnification and look for any breaks that might correspond to the keys that are not working or not working properly.
Also, try an external keyboard. If you have the same situation on an external, there is some problem other than the replacement keyboard.
For future reference for your friend, you NEVER want to use a hair drier on a water spill. The best thing to do is to turn the Mac off, remove the battery, and lay it keyboard down on a towel for several days. You want all the water to drain out and any internal residue to dry completely before putting power to the machine again. Most of the time, the water will dry and everything will work again.
The forced air from the hair drier could have blown water deeper into the machine and there could be some residue causing problems. When you take the machine apart to check the cable, also check for any remaining moisture that could still be causing problems. If the machine had not been allowed to dry for several days, it needs to.
Good luck!

Trackpad/point not working after keyboard removal

Earlier today I opened up my T510 for maintanence. In doing so, I removed the keyboard. After putting everything back together, the trackpoint/trackpad did not work. That includes the the **bleep**-mouse, trackpad, and all mouse buttons. The trackpad wasn't even removed, but I guess the data connection for that goes through the rest of the keyboard (?).
I took the keyboard out several times to make sure the connection was secure and inspect for physical damage. There was nothing.
The obvious thing to do here is replace the keyboard and desperately hope that the problem is not with the mobo connector, but the problem is sufficently strange (keyboard working but not mouse) thatI figured it would be worth posting here to see if anyone has any insight.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Solved.
As I mentioned in the last post, the trackpad connects to the mobo through the cable labled as a speaker wire in the manual (this can be easily seen after removing the keyboard bezel/trackpad from the machine). There is a small latch to hold this cable in place on the mobo end. I had mixed up the secured and unsecured states for this latch, which apparently broke the connection. Fixed that now and everything works.
It's probably worth explicitly pointing out that the **bleep**-mouse and mouse buttons on the keyboard do seem to be depenent on the trackpad being properly plugged in, despite having a seperate connection to the mobo.

T and Y not working on keyboard despite replacement

I'm having trouble with a laptop keyboard T and Y keys not working.
I've replaced the keyboard with a new one and the problem remains.
I've updated drivers.
T and Y work using the on screen keyboard and with a USB keyboard plugged in.
There is a similar post on here marked 'solved' but the 'solution' was to return the laptop to HP under warranty.
Big help! This laptop is out out of warranty of course...
I've searched the web but although this seems a common problem, nobody has the solution.

Thanks for any suggestions.
Steve.

Were those the same keys not working before replacement? The only thing I can think to do is take the keyboard off, clean the ribbon cable with alcohol, and reseat it real well. It is a long shot, though. Where did you get the keyboard? Not impossible the replacement is bad.

CS2 not working with keyboard

Hey!
I just installed Photoshop CS2 and it's crashing as soon as I press any key on the keyboard. The stuff is still working as long as I use the mouse.
Is this a known problem? Are there solutions?
Thanks for your help!

Hey!
I'm not pretty sure what you mean with skin utility...(english isn't my mother tongue).
It's Windows XP with Service Pack II and all those updates coming every few days.
In addition the keyboard I use is a non-wireless and so doesn't require any drivers or so I could deactivate.
The computer was asembled by Fujitsu-Siemens (Scaleo-T with totally normal hardware;-)
Any other stuff you need to know?
Thanks for trying to help!

Dimmer and volume keys not working on keyboard

I went to up my volume from the f5 key on my keyboard and it didn't work. I tried to dim and lighten the screen and that too didn't work. Any suggestions on how to resolve this situation?

Did you check your Keyboard Shortcut settings in Sys. preferences, Keyboard & Mouse perhaps something is off there.

Launch Keys not working on keyboard

I have a keyboard with some special launch keys. I am able to set some of them with KDE's global shortcuts settings, but others aren't recognized when I try to set them as the trigger. They are recognized in dmesg though as unknown keys. How do I get these buttons to work?
Thanks.

I've had no luck following this page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … o_keycodes
I'm using a PS/2 keyboard, not USB. I'm having no luck either using the hwdb or setkeycoads. I just can't seem to get KDE to recognize the key.
