One button of the keyboard doesn't work correctly

Hi there,
I have a problem with my keyboard:
One button of the keyboard doesn??t work correctly: I want to write down a vowel with an accent (like in French and Spanish?), but if I press the button ´ and then the vowel, TWO dashes (´´) and the vowel appear: ´´i. Normally, there would automatically be an accent on top of the i.
I have already tried a different keyboard, but it??s the same problem when I connect it to my notebook. I have also tried to choose a different language like French and Spanish, where they have those accents, but it still doesn??t work.
It would be great if somebody could help me.
Thanks a lot,
Hanna

Hi Hannah,
You do not say which options you have changed to try using a different language, but there are several options which do slightly different things.
If you go into Control Panel and select "Regional and Language Options", a new window opens with 3 tabs across the top. Choose "Languages" (the middle one), then press the "Details" button. This opens another window which allows you to view and change settings including the current input language and keyboard settings.
Changing some of these settings will not make any difference until you reboot your machine.
I hope this helps, let us know how you get on!

  • How do I turn on my wireless keyboard and make it 'discoverable'?  I got a message that the batteries were low, so I changed them for new ones and now the keyboard doesn't work.

    I got a message saying that the batteries were low, so changed them for new ones and now the keyboard cannot be 'found'. There seems to be no way to turn it on and make it 'discoverable' to the system.  At the moment I'm typing this on a spare keyboard plugged into the  back of my mac via a USB.  Please help!

    Have you checked to make sure the batteries are inserted the correct way? Have you tried to turn it on by pushing the right upper (round) edge of the keyboard - if you do that, do you see a tiny little green light? Since you have a wired keyboard, can you get to the Bluetooth setup/preference pane so you can manually try to sync the keyboard?

  • Since OS X update, under Citrix Reciever, the keyboard doesn't work anymore. The trackpad does. Please help.

    I have a Macbook air. OS X 10.9.5. Since OS X update, under Citrix Reciever, the keyboard doesn't work anymore. The trackpad does. Please help.

    The following from the Citrix forums indicates others are having the same problem and that one has opened a case number with Citrix: http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/355864-os-x-1095-safari-71/

  • Why in spanish the keyboard doesn´t work Q or A letter

    That side doesn´t work sometimes in games, anybody that the same problem?

    I get erratic loss of input capability into my Touch. On some days in the browser ,the W key doesn't work but the adjacent Q or E keys work just fine when I slide my finger back and forth. A few hours later, it works just fine. Last night I was entering a new location in the weather, the keyboard worked fine but after a search, it would not let me click on the new location to set it up. I could get a blue background but it would not click to complete the entry. Again, I tried it 20 min later and it worked just fine. Same thing on iTunes, there are occasions when the screen is unresponsive to my input and other times when it works just fine. I have one of those plastic covers sold at the Apple store to protect the screen and maybe that's the problem. However, recent rollerblade fall proved the worth of the protector as the cover was deeply scored but the screen was fine (was erratic before fall, not caused by fall). Touch is not jailbroken. Don't want to give up the protection film but I'm not sure whether there is a problem with my iTouch or just with my touch.

  • The SD (Standard Definition) button in the Store doesn't work for seasons of TV Shows I have downloaded from

    The SD Button in the Apple Store doesn't work whenever I click it for seasons of TV Shows seasons I have already downloaded from, it works perfectly fine for shows I haven't downloaded an episode from but not for shows I have downloaded anything from. I can click the button but it doesn't open up a new menu anyway and just stays on the HD menu, this is annoying because not only does it cost more for HD but it is a much larger download that I want.
    I have updated to the latest iTunes but this hasn't helped the problem, I am considering re-installing iTunes but will that mean that I have to download the other shows again before I can watch them? Or do they remain downloaded? Just because I don't want to spend a lot of data re-downloading everything I have already downloaded.

    Update: I've just figured out that the SD button doesn't work if the 'Buy Complete Season' button is blue, if it isn't blue then the menu can alternate between the HD and SD options easily but if it is blue then it won't switch between HD and SD. This is just getting weirder as I continue investigating...
    So it seems that if the button for buying the rest of the season is light blue then that means I can only purchase in HD? Is this a software issue?

  • Updated to OS X Maverick and now the keyboard doesn't work. Anyone with similar problem and a solution?

    I recently updated to the OS X Maverick  and the keyboard   just stopped functioning after working fine the first day. Pressing any key just produces a ding, but no mark. Pressing the return key produces a black dot as if you were putting in a confidential password. Has anyone had a similar problem and a possible solution? Thanks. mj-t

    I am having the same problem and its not on every call, its very hit or miss, but very aggrovating. The screen just goes black and the home key nor the power button on top have any affect. Then the locked screen will show but you can't unlock the phone. I have to let it sit for a minute and then I can push the home button and go on in and the call is finally disconnected.

  • The home button in the toolbar doesn't work anymore. It takes me to a search page not my homepage

    instead of opening new tabs I do a lot of surfing from one tab. Before when I wanted to get back to my homepage I would click the Home button in the toolbar and it would take me back to my homepage. A nice feature. But lately when I click the home button it takes me to a search window and I have to type in yahoo and then click on yahoo login.
    Anyone know how to fix this?

    ... and 99% of the time the site you want is at the top of results.
    or hit down arrow to get to it from history...
    Believe it or not but most people use the url bar for searching.
    .... it should never had been that way by default(.com)

  • Iphone 4s is frozen and won't turn off.  How do I turn it off if the button at the top doesn't work?

    My iphone 4S is frozen and won't turn off.  Is there another way to reboot or turn off the phone besides the button at the top?

    Try to Reset your device. 
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button (I know you think it's broken, but try) and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).

  • The 'back-button' on the screen doesn't work/clic anymore..

    Somebody who had the same troubleshooting?
    Can I fixe it, or does it have to go to Apple?

    Try this:
    Calibrate Home Button
    1. Open a stock application like Calendar, Weather or Youtube
    2. Hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" control appears
    3. As soon as you see it, press the Home button and keep it pressed until the red slider disappears and the app is forced quit to the Home menu

  • Help: BB keyboard doesn't work correctly

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with my BB curve 8520. Yesterday the keyboard started to do strange things:
     when I'm writing text messages it skips some letters 
    it starts automatically to cancel all I have wrote without I have pushed "del"
    sometimes it automatically locks and no one key can remove the lock
    I already tried to remove and replace the battery but the problem still remain.
    Please  tell me if  there's a solution.

    Sometimes, the OS just get's corrupted...and reloading it clean is then the next step to try...
    At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/downloa​d_sites.jsp
    From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste​...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
    You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

  • The Flash doesn't work Correctly when using Photo camera in iOS5

    Hi ! I'e updated my iPhone 4 recently (yesterday) and this evening I've use it to make some photo and I've turn on the flash but when I take the photo the flash turn in advance or make a little glow and the photo saved result totally black. It is this bug to someone else? There's a solution ?

    I'm having exactly the same problem. The flash goes off, but the resulting photo is completely dark. It seems as though the flash burst is not synchronized with the camera "shutter."
    The camera seems to work fine otherwise, and if I record video with the flash on it looks fine. Flash photos looked fine before I upgraded my iPhone to IOS 5 today.
    I'm wondering if it's a widespread problem—this is the only other mention of it I could find.

  • Satellite L10 - keyboard doesn't work correctly

    Hello
    I have problem with my keyboard. I install Windows XP from recovery CD and make updates form Windows Update. Sometimes when I write something ex 1234567890, I see on the screen 123567890 or 123456790.
    I took the laptop to the service and they said everything is OK, but for me it`s not!!
    What is wrong with it, can someone tell me ??
    Thanks

    Just small update: I have also heard when MSN search bar is installed the CPU activity goes permanently up and down between 2 and 20 % and if you pres the keyboard key in this moment when the CPU activity goes to higher percent it can happen that the key will not be displayed.
    As I said it should be fixed with new BIOS.
    Bye and good luck!
