You have to replace the keyboard. The remaining water is causing shorts and your keyboard is not functioning properly. The replacement is easy but requires manual skills. There are plenty of tutorials on how to disaccemble a computer to replace keyboard.

  • Picture turns upside down after being taken

    What could cause my phone to turn my pictures upside down after it is taken? As I am taking the photo it is the correct way but when it transfers into my camera it rotates to be upside down.

    That seems to be a bit too fast if it continues to drain that quickly. That would be 20° drain each hour only giving you 5 hours of battery life. Give it some time before you make any real assessment, the battery indicator can act sort of funky at times. My indicator will stay on 100° for 15 minutes and then start to drain rather quickly until it evens out and gets to where it should be. From that point on, it will reduce at a normal rate.
    You can try resetting the iPad. Sometimes that cures hunky little software issues. Sometimes, restarting the iPad can return the gauge to a normal reading.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Thinkpad keyboard problem - some keys generate multiple keys when pressed

    thinkpad keyboard problem - some keys generate multiple keys when pressed
    For example, "t" generates "tr", "y" generates "yu", "backspace" generates "backspace" plus "IBM access connections", "m" generates "mn" and "n" generates "mn".  Not all keys are wrong. 
    For what it's worth, the odd behaviour started shortly after a trip to Miami in which I had a meeting at a cafe in which we were undercover but it was pouring cats and dogs - it was like having a meeting in a sauna - so I am wondering if the high humidity could have caused the behaviour.
    I tried replacing the keyboard but the new keyboard has the same problem.  
    The machine in question is a Thinkpad T23 running Windows XP Pro
    Any help would be appreciated as I am now in Los Angeles using a borrowed Mac! :-) 

    i have something along the lines of the same problem.

    my conclusion is something in the last system update screwed it up.

    How can I allow the application to line through a field that has been locked after being digitally signed?
    We have multiple sections on a form with some fields being proposed information and other in another section having the approved information. once the approved information is entered we line through the proposed field so the data entry clerk won't pick up the wrong information.  However we are receiving an error when attempting to enter data  in the field which we have this edit.  Error property: line through cannot be set because doing so would violate the document permission setting.  any idea how we can get around this issue?

    You can control which fields are locked down after signing by setting up a collection. Then those that are not locked can be changed after signing. If this is not possible, then the line outs must occur prior to signing.

  • TS4080 apple thunderbolt display image on display intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys. Rebooting by pressing the power button resolves issue.

    My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.

    Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
    Long shot but...
    I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
    Resolution
    Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
    If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
    Additional Information
    This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
        1.    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
        2.    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

  • How do I make drag sources disappear after being moved to the correct drop target in Captivate 7

    How do I make drag sources disappear after being moved to the correct drop target in Captivate 7

    Thank you so much. I could have searched a very long time and not found that. It is counter-intuitive to me that I would set the behavior for the drag source on the properties for the drop target.

  • Can you make core center automatically close after being called on startup?

    Can you make core center automatically close after being called on startup so it can set cpu fan speed to a slower fixed speed then exit?
    If core center really cant do such a simple task then can speedfan or another program?

    Quote from: bassmadrigal on 13-July-05, 07:42:36
    Why don't you want them running. Speedfan has a very small footprint.
    Just seems unnecesary seeming as it does its task as soon as it runs and its changes then stay applied. Speed fan is probably better but core center takes 10mb.
    Quote from: syar2003 on 13-July-05, 07:57:02
    You dont have to have it running to set a user specified fan rpm .
    Once it's set it is stored in the corecell/cmos chip on the motherboard .(until a cmos reset) .
    So to answer your question .
    There is no need to have it autostarted at each boot ...
    Thats how i have used it .
    Only reason to have it running is with MSI's "CnQ" control of the fan , varies with the load of the processor
    Thats strange for me the speed resets to default as soon as I restart my pc (about when the bios engages which is however tangibly after the graphics card fan revves up to its full speed). Depending on the temperature of the proccessor it goes to 3300rpm (less than 42c) or 4500rpm (too loud for ~45c IMO and MSIs "cool&quiet" option seems to agree, it doesn't even set it as high as 3300rpm)

  • Shift key randomly gets locked without being pressed (mbp 13" retina, late 2012)

    I've been looking everywhere for answers for this problem, with no success (although many people raise similar questions on older models).
    My MBP 13" retina 10.8.2 is new, clean, nothing spilled on it.
    Ocassionally I connect it to external keyboard and mouse (USB or BT).
    Regardless of that, sometimes the SHIFT key gets randomly locked - Without being pressed (whether the native keyboard, or when connected to external).
    I could just be browsing the internet or be viewing a document in Word or GDocs, and suddenly - while mouse-scrolling - things will get selected, and the mouse-click becomes SHIFT-Click only.
    When it happens, disconnecting/reconnecting the external keyboard or mouse has no effect - the problem persists.
    The only workaround I found is to put it to SLEEP when it happens, and immediately wake it up.
    The problem started a few weeks ago, and the behavior is completely random (it can happen twice in 10 minutes, or once a week).
    Any ideas anyone?

  • My macbook behaves as if the shift and alt keys are constantly pressed causing permanent special characters. Any ideas how I can stop this happening?

    Any help would be hugely appreciated, thanks

    But with my function the program doesn't know if the pressed key is printable or if it's shift, ctrl
    or something like thatProbably the easiest way is to check and see if e.getKeyChar() < a space character or if e.getKeyCode() >= 127. You can use e.getModifiers() to get the modifier, etc... -- take a look at the documentation for java.awt.event.KeyEvent class.

  • My macbook pro retina F2 key makes a squeaking sound due to heat!?

    Hello All,
    My brand new Macbook Pro Retina's F2 key makes an awful squeaking sound when i press it.... The sound got even worse when the macbook ran hot and i had to presse the key for multiple times....... Now it seems like even my F3 key is slowly dying when my macbook is under heat stress and i am pressing it.
    Does anyone else have this problem? Its really bothering cause its a brand new computer, its still practically warm from the production line..... I called apple and they told me to go to a service centre :-( but i need this machine for my work and a service centre takes the minimum of 10 work days to repair it.........
    What can i do....
    Kind Regards Cor.

    Hi guys, i know exactly how you feel. The rmbp should be perfect, i mean common its a 2300++ system... After i posted the above i deceided to take it to the apple store and let them fix it. I must say they did a good job! I got my rmbp back within 3 days! I think thats very fast.
    What they did is they replaced the top case, cause the keyboard and mousepad are fixed to it. Also the battery is so thats brand new as well.
    Now everything seems to work properly, i tested every key and searched for scratchtes or any imperfections but all seems ok.
    I can only give you 1 advice if your key squeaks, take it back it should be perfect! In my case the squeaking only got worse and i still think it has something to do with the heat of the rmbp cause it came when i was gaming and the macbook got really hot.
