Non functioning of keyboard of laptop

I HAVE LAPTOP PAVILION G6 WITH ACTIVE WARANTY.MY KEYBOARD STOPPED FUNCTIONING RECENTLY .PL. SUGEST ME TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

Hi chansoram,
First I would like to welcome you to the HP Forums!
As your keyboard has stopped functioning, which can be a little frustrating. I have included the document Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 7). The part that you will want to take a look at is Pressing keys does nothing (keyboard is not working), and follow through the steps.
If for some reason these steps do not fix the issue, please let me know the full model number of your g6 notebook. I have included the document 'Guide to finding your product number'. As well, what is the current version of Windows that you are running. If you need help in finding the version, please take a look at the following document 'Which Windows operating system am I running?'.
Good luck, and let me know the outcome of the troubleshooting steps!

Slim Keyboard special keys non-functional

Picked up one of the awesome new keyboards tonight, installed keyboard update, rebooted, but the special keys (itunes, dashboard, etc) don't work.
I can assign fn-key to say dashboard, that works, but in non-fn key mode, they do nothing.
Any ideas?

I have the same issue. Basically, after installing "Keyboard Update 1.1" the special keys above F1-F4 (Brightness, Expose and Dashboard) do not work. I have the keyboard plugged into a MacBook Pro and I expected the brightness keys to change the brightness on the MacBook Pro LCD. The iTunes play/pause and the volume keys work fine, but the previously mentioned ones do not.
You should not have to change the keyboard shortcuts (keyboard pref pane) to get this to work, because if you do, then when you unplug the keyboard (as laptop users do frequently) the buttons will be off compared to the laptop keyboard.
I went into the store today to find out if anyone has noticed this, and all the keyboards attached to the new iMac machines work fine. This must be something with the MacBook Pro's

After I installed 7 on my IPad none of the keyboard functions work properly. seems like microsft had something to do with this new operating system. any know what I did wrong

Thanks for the quick advice!
Unfortunately, I am still unable to open my core productivity apps, namely Skype and Evernote. Twitter, as well, could not start. But interesting quick fix though, I never knew you could do that.
Here's the error log after the restart:
What else should I try?

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. How do I fix?

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work. It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).

There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.

Wired interface non-functional

So I have a most unusual problem with a mac mini server that is driving me banana's that I hope someone in the Apple community has run into, and found a decent solution..
The mac mini (2.3GHz quad core i7, late 2012) is running 10.9 and server 3.0.1.   I did an upgrade from 10.8 (and whatever the previous version server was)..
Since then the wired ethernet interface (en0) literally stopped working. (Links up, but no connectivity.. no ping, it does not even send an ARP)
Data points about the problem.
- It worked flawlessly up until the upgrade to 10.9.
- wireless interface is still fine, static or dhcp.
- The IP is statically configured via System preferences - Network.
- ifconfig in terminal show NO IPADDRESS assigned to the interface.
- if I reconfigure the interface to DHCP, it will not receive an IP and ends up with an APIPA address..
- if I go into terminal and 'ifconfig en0 down' then 'ifconfig en0 <IP> up' the interface works again until restart. It will also correctly display the IP in terminal.
- If I reset, it goes back into this same state (network preferences shows proper config, ifconfig does not, and the interface is non functional)
- If I then go to cli, and manually ifconfig down then up, all is good again.. Doing so from system prefs has no affect..
Here is where it gets really interesting, and why I am convinced this is a software issue..     I did a clean install of 10.9 and Server on an external USB disk, and things work exactly as expected if I boot from that Volume.. If I boot from the internal drive, Its in the broken state again..
This absolutelty tells me its some kind of software issue, and I am out of ideas short of wiping the internal drive, and reloading all the data from scratch..
Anyone else run into this? If yes, were you able to fix it without wiping/reloading?

First, thank you for taking the time to respond and offering great ideas..
I'd delete the interface & recreate it.
In 'System Preferences > Network tab' select the ethernet, click the - button. Then add it again. Reboot & see if it has any effect.
- Had no affect.. More accurately, it works the same as doing ifconfig down/up in cli, where the interface will work again until the next reboot.
See what appears in Console (Spotlight search for it) in the 'All messages" section when you remove connect the ethernet.
- Log messages are below.. Interestingly, I do not get the failure messages that I have highlighted in red on another machine that is is also running 10.9, with server loaded.

Have you tried changing the port on the switch it is connected to?
- Yes, for ease of testing I have it plugged directly into my MacBook Pro (I also tried new cable first )
Does safe mode have any effect?
- No, Same results.
Again, booting the machine from a clean install on a USB disk, does not show the issue..    I’ve got a lot of data on the machine, so I am doing anything I can to avoid wiping and reloading it all.. Ive added the output of etrecheck, in case its of any help.

Late 2013 15" Macbook Pro - iCloud Apps become non-functional

Hi Everyone,
My new top of the range Macbook Pro has some issues... Here's the specs:
2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
1TB Flash Storage
Arrived on Tuesday last week. Obviously very excited etc...
Noticed after 30 minutes that all my iCloud apps failing (under my account).
All the following apps fail to open with a beachball timeout
iMessages
FaceTime
iCloud (via System Preferences)
Maps
TextEdit (won't show any existing iCloud documents
Airplay
However oddly enough Calendar works.
It's currently with Apple Engineering who are yet to reply.
Now the weird bit.... If a create a new login account under the macbook and utilise my wife's iCloud (apple id) everything works perfectly.....
Apple are now in the process of sending me out a new machine since they're considering this one Dead On Arrival..However I've now got a 3 to 4 week wait due to 16GB ram supply constraints.. :-(
I've reinstalled Mavericks 4 times now and the same issues come back within about 30 minutes.
Very frustrating to spend that much money and have a non-functional computer..
Anyone else experiencing these issues?
Cheers.
Benjamin.

I can happily report now that the issue has been resolved.
Via the logs sent to Apple engineering the issue was found to be a conflict between iCloud contacts and Google contacts.
For some reason (a bug in Mavericks) even though I didn't tick the box for google contacts to come across to the MacBook, it turned itself (in Internet Accounts via sys pref) on when activating my mail (gmail).
I'll say it again. It turned the tick on internet accounts / gmail / contacts without me asking it to!
Also of note. If I had iCloud contacts turned off. After the 30 minutes iCloud contacts were also turned on. Very very weird behaviour!
The above meant that the Mac's contacts were syncing with iCloud and google. :-(
Why this issue affected all the other iCloud apps I'm not sure why. However it definitely did something! :-(
Resolution Path:
Go to Sys pref/internet accounts, select gmail and click the minus button. It prompts you if you want to delete from ALL associated machines. Click YES!
Only after confirming I wanted to do a remote delete of my iCloud internet accounts across ALL machines did the issue resolve itself.
It appears that iCloud and google contacts can't live (stay sync'd) together. Which of course was never my intention. I only wanted to use iCloud.
Doesn't explain why it failed internally but a resolution path was found :-)
The inbound replacement laptop has been cancelled accordingly.
My new MacBook is now running perfectly !!!
I hope the resolution path here posted may help others in the future if you encounter this issue!
Take care,
Bennie.

Storing a Non Printable -from keyboard- Character in Varchar2 Column

Hi,
I want to store a non-printable character in a varchar2 column. This character should be non-printable -from keyboard- for all character sets -or very difficult to print from keyboard-. It doesn't matter, whether it can be displayed on screen or not. It does matter INSTR function returns the character position of that character. It should be able to import export data without any problem for any NLS specific operating environment. For example, I plan to use chr(1) do you think it's appropriate? I appreciate your helps.
Best Regards,
Salim

What is the business requirement you're trying to satisfy?
If your database character set is based on ASCII, CHR(1) (the Start of Header) character is likely to be transferred between systems without character set conversion. Non-ASCII character sets (i.e. Big5 for Chinese data) don't necessarily share the same control characters, though, and generally won't have the same binary representation of an ASCII control character (so CHR(1) in a non-ASCII based database wouldn't necessarily return the same character that CHR(1) would in an ASCII based database).

Tx2z - CPU non-functional?

Hi, my tx2z died on me this morning around 5 am when I tried to turn it on to finish up some engineering homework. The computer power on, fan on for a bit, but it got stuck on the black screen with blinking caplock and numlock light.
I don't know if this have anything to do with it, but now I think about it, it might be related. Last time I use it, it was the same day, or night, around midnight. I was working on some physics homework on the laptop with my friend. So I finished my part, and went over to help her. So when I tried to show her how to solve the equation on the calculator, we got a static electirc shock, and I didn't even touch her. Ok, so we laughed about it since we are doing stuffs dealing with electric fields. When we finally finished at 1, I went back to my dorm with the laptop, put it down to let it charge. Then when I try to do my engineering homework soon after with the computer, I was shocked again. This time by touching the comptuer.
So I believe my Tx2z died because of "CPU non-functional" according to the LED Blink Sequence table. The LED only blinked once in each cycle. Is that correct?
So if this is the case, what are my options? I doubt I am still under warrenty, since I just got the laptop before going to college 2 years ago. CPU non-funcational means that the CPU is dead and need replacement, right? And if I am correct, it is usually not possible to install new cpu in laptop. So I need to send it in and let them replace it? Will it be cheaper with I just go buy a new computer?
I am still hoping that it is not the CPU problem, since I really like this laptop, it is really not that old, and I have been taking care of it. It does overheat very easily though, sometime burn my hand when I am doing some 3D modeling / rendering. But even on power saving mode, when I am just checking email, it still overheated.
Any replies, helps, suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.

yup, I have pretty much given up by now. I started to make a list of hardwares that I want to buy to assemble a new computer. Tablet is good, but the fact that it can't last me through college, that's just sad. So $400 to repair, and the new computer that I am planning to put together cost around $500. I think I will go with the new one with way more processing power, way better cooling, and most important, the ability to upgrade / replace broken parts without having to pay a fortune.
LIST
Case, power supply, motherboard w/ ATI HD4250, AMD Phenom ii x4 3.4 Ghz, 4 GB DDR3, 1 TB HDD, DVD Burner, Card Reader...
So as for the tablet, I am starting to harvest parts from it. So far, ripped the hard drive out to recover some data and to use as an portable hard drive. Will probably take the RAM out in a day or two. The ony big disappoinment about not fixing the tablet is that the touchscreen is pretty much wasted, since I have no clue how to utilize that. Wish I have taken Computer or Electrical Engineering.

My BB 8320 Camera and Sound recorder non functional

For the past year the camera and sound recorder are non functional. I have tried the following.
1.Removing the battery and SIM and rebooting.
2. Sync the BB using my Laptop Desktop Manager to sync.
3. Downloaded latest o/s available.
Nothing works. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Hello arindamd and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you're having an issue with the sound on your device.
To rule out a software issue, backup your data (see KB12487 How to back up the data on a BlackBerry smartphone) then follow the steps in KB11320 How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows or KB19915 Perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer).
Before any software is restored test the sound recorder.
If no sound is recorded then it's likely the issue may be a hardware one in which case you will need to contact your point of sale for hardware repair options.
Hope this helps.

Non-wireless backlit keyboard

Looking for a non-wireless backlit keyboard. Have done lots of searching online and in forums but finding very little useful info. Anyone have one that they really like?
Thanks.

I tried a few shortcuts that make use of the "control" key on the Mac, and the Logitech keyboard's CRTL key works just fine. Examples:
Control+mouse click = right click
Control-Command-Up Arrow = "Open enclosed folder in a new window"
The dedicated "Windows" key performs the "command" function just fine as you'd expect.
The only thing I haven't tried is getting the Logitech's F1-F12 keys to map to the respective functions on the MacBook's built in keyboard, namely brightness adjustment, keyboard backlight adjustment (as useful as that could be in this case anyway), volume, and eject. I should note thought that for volume/mute the dedicated Logitech keys on the right side work just fine without any tinkering, and for the rest (Exposé/Spaces/Dashboard) you can just map the F key directly to trigger them.
Hope this helps!

Hi I'm new to Mac. I have a macbook air and for some reason the top keys, ec, f1 etc etc are not functioning and emitt the non function noise when pressed. Also the volume keys don't adjust the volume. Have I done something to disable them?

I don't have the same version of OS X here but try System Preferences>Keyboard. Is there an option similar to "Use the F1, etc, keys as standard function keys"?
If so, and it has a checkmark, uncheck it & see if that does the trick.

Power Button only works at startup, but non-functional afterwards.

For a Macbook Pro 15
A1226 / OS 10.6.8 / 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
(1) When the computer is on, and i press the power button , the shutdown menu used to come on, but does not now.
(2) When i press & hold the power button, the computer does not force shutdown, even when i hold it down for 30 seconds.
(3) When I shutdown the computer via the apple menu, i cannot start the computer up using the power button
(4) However, disconnecting the trackpad ribbon cable from the logic board, then reconnecting, the power button is operational allowing the computer to start back up
(5)When I put the computer to sleep via the apple menu, it goes to sleep, and i can wake it up
(6) When I restart via the apple menu, it powers down then restarts without any problems
(7)The force quit keyboard short cut will not work most likely in that it uses the power button as a shortcut.
So pursuant, to (4) above, it seems that the power button is non-functional after starting it up, and will only work after connecting/reconnecting the ribbon cable
Bracing myself for no replies or "take it to the genius bar"

S10 HW 1/06, bge driver non-functional

Hello,
I'm having a problem with a new installation of Solaris 10 (HW 1/06) on a Fujitsu Siemens ESPRIMO P5905. It's a fairly new model x64 box. The system installed fine, but the on-board Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet is non-functional. I've tried both the Broadcom bcme driver and the Sun bge driver, plus I've installed the latest patches from Sunsolve (118844-30, 122028-02) with no luck. The system finds the card and appears to receive packets but not send.
Is there any way I can report a bug without a Support Contract from Sun?
The card is an on-board PCI-E chip and works fine under Linux 2.6 or Windows Server 2003. The PCI ID is pci11e4,1677 which is listed in /etc/driver_aliases for the latest (patched) bge driver.
One other detail are the following messages from the bge driver on load:
ddi_intr_get_supported_types(): Returned 3
Using legacy interrupt type
bge_add_legacy_intrs
Thanks in advance for any help...

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

DVD Drive Non-Function Mac Mini 3,1 (late 2009)

Hi
The DVD drive in my Mac Mini has recently become non-functional, "About this Mac" sees the drive fine,
OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5670S:
Model:          OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5670S
Revision:          2AHI
Native Command Queuing:          No
Detachable Drive:          No
Power Off:          No
Async Notification:          Yes
Bay Name:          Upper
But when you insert a disc there is no response, it does not see to attempt to read it just ejects after about 20-30 seconds.
Any suggestions as to what could be the problem? This issue started sometime after I upgraded the memory, but I cannot be sure that the two things are connected as I very rarely use the DVD drive and the first time I tried to use it was several months later.
Many Thanks

Optical drives are pretty short lived in my experience.
Might try a cleaning Disc.
Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
