No keys work?

so this has happened before, but it was only my spacebar
last night my O key stoped working, and it was the last key i needed to unlock my phone
this morning, EVERYTHING has stopped workng, all my keys except my K (which is one of the few letters for my password), my track pad (which has stopped working in the past to the point where i had to get a new one), and my bb sign, and the pick/hang up buttons
ive already tried taking the battery out n blowing on it.
my mom is advising me to take out the battery for an hour n put it back in, but i dont have much hope for that working.
ive had this curve for about 6 months, my previous curve i had for 7 months, because the trackpad COMPLETELY stopped working.
no water damage i would know of, but i do drop it every now n then.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP IT IS MUCH NEEDED

It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out. It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
*Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
*On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
*On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

    billwyatt, welcome to the forum,
    I think you forgot to mention which ThinkPad you have. It would be even better if you could post the Type and Model Number as this will help members to hopefully help you. If it ends in CTO please provide some details about the ThinkPad. Please do NOT post your s/n.

  • When I get a phone call or text message it will not make the sound. Just vibrate. But the switch is on normal. When I change it to vibrate the volume thing will not show. Nor will my up volume up key work. Is there any way to fix it?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    Serial numbers for older versions do not work across platforms.
    At one time, when the product was current, you could get Adobe to switch you to the other platform, but I don't know whether Adobe will do that for old versions.  I do know it's not going to work if you try to use your Windows license for a Mac installation.

  • All my keys work all my keys work except my spacebar on my wireless keyboard

    all of my keys work on my wireless keyboard except the space bar.

    hi. first off, don't try anything about closing apps and all that, unless you make sure you've turned off quick nav to type. for some strange reason, in iOS 8, you can't type text into a edit field, if you don't turn that off. that's by pressing the left and right arrows together. if this isn't the problem, then i'd try toggling off the keyboard, then toggle off bluetooth on your device, then back on, and finally turn the keyboard back on.          

  • Media Keys working/Volume keys broken

    I used to use MultiPlugin by localhost to make the media keys on my keyboard work when iTunes was minimized. This worked great. When I updated iTunes to 7.1, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the media keys worked fully without any plugins. However, after using my computer for a few hours I found that the volume keys performed a "double press" when I was only pressing the buttons once. What happens is that when I try to mute/unmute the system the volume will be muted and immediately unmuted or vice versa. I have narrowed this problem down to iTunes, seeing as when I stop running iTunes, the keys work fine. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Justin

    "Compatibility with Windows Vista
    iTunes 7.1 addresses a number of known compatibility issues with Windows Vista. Apple is actively working with Microsoft to resolve a few remaining known issues, including:
    Ejecting an iPod from Windows Explorer or the Windows notification area (system tray) using the "Safely Remove Hardware" feature may corrupt your iPod. To always safely eject an iPod, choose Eject iPod from the Controls menu within iTunes. If your iPod becomes corrupt, selecting your iPod in iTunes and clicking Restore in the iPod's Summary panel should return your iPod to a working condition.
    iTunes may display text or graphics incorrectly on your screen. Resizing the iTunes window should correct this issue.
    Contacts from Windows Address Book may not sync with iPod.
    iTunes remains unsupported on 64 bit editions of Windows, including Windows Vista and Windows XP x64."

  • No keys working on 2011 MacBook Pro Keyboard

    No keys work. Completely defective
    Haven't SPILLED anything on the keyboard, but I did windex to clean and wipe the screen and decided to do the same on the keyboard to clean it. Didn't think this would cause any damage but could this be the reason? That's the only thing I can think of that could've caused the keyboard to be defective.
    None of the keys are sticky though, and when you press them, all the keys feel as they would when the keyboard was functioning normally.
    Looked up solutions, and in system preferances, under accesibility, mouse keys, slow keys, and my shortcuts(speak selected text when the key is pressed)  in dictation & speech is all disabled.
    I've been using an on-screen keyboard so typing is significantly slower (using a different computer now)
    Seeing if anyone has any last-ditch solutions that I could try before taking it to the apple store/getting a keyboard replacement.

    steppJ,
    did you spray Windex directly on the keyboard, or did you spray a cloth and then use the cloth to wipe the keyboard?

  • Only F keys work in Numbers and Pages after iWorks Update 6

    Within Numbers and Pages only the F keys work. Is anyone else having this problem since installing iWorks update 6? What can be done to regain use of the keyboard?

    Update - I am using Better Touch Tool (BTT) which provides additional gestures for my Magic Mouse. Disabling BTT for Numbers and Pages restored the keyboard functionality. If you experience similar problems, open BTT and add Numbers and Pages to the program list and select the option to disable BTT completely for these two programs.

  • Only certain keys work on Apple Bluetooth keyboard

    Discarted my Apple Wireless keyboard that came with my imac because only certain keys worked (4 or 5 keys). Finally bout another Apple Wireless keyboard, and have the same problem. All the settings are correct. any advice?

    Sometimes this is caused by accidently setting "mouse keys" on by hitting the Option key 5 times. 
    Look in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Turn Mouse Keys off.

  • Startup, "desktop" screen is stuck in a loop, no keys work, must "power" switch down.

    Upon power up, all normal until the loading of the "desktop" screen.   It does not finish loading,  All icons and their text ids load, but the "icon" pictures do not finish loading.   The computer then goes into a reload of that screen, rather rapid loop, no escape from loop.   No keys work, mouse does not work, touch pad does not work.  Must use power switch to shut down. Norton 360 security, current, no problems reported.   Backup thumb drive startup also fails. Thank you for any ideas....  

    I took computer to our local gurus.  How he managed to gain contol I didn't ask.  He removed Norton 360, and all went well afterwards. When I got home with computer, I began to reinstall "Norton 360" and received the following message that "Norton 360 is not compatible with your computer..."  Well, it had worked for 1-1/2 years flawlessly, but what the heck.....?  I scrapped the "360" plan, paid for "Norton Security", installed that new-to-me program with no errors. Up and running with no problems, and as the new "Norton Security" was able to access "my vault", I have all my passwords, etc. to various URLs.  That I might have lost all of them was a horrible thought, even tho' I have them off site. In summary, the "Norton 360" brand new incompatiblilty with Windows 8.1 and my HP ENVY shut me down this a.m. Best of luck to you with your computer...

  • Making Enter key work

    I have made a GUI and I want to make the 'Enter' key work on dialog boxes to operate the ok , button if it is the only button on the dialog box.
    I have used the setMnemonic method for all the other buttons on other dialog boxes, but i don't want to have to press alt-Enter - i just want to be able to press Enter is this possible
    cheers
    David

    To make a 'Default' button (that has a darker border, and will be pressed whenever Enter is pressed, look at getRootPane().setDefaultButton(button) called on a JDialog or JFrame. The keystroke for pressing a button with focus is actually Space.
