Hi
Why do you think that the motherboard is ok?
Maybe its a keyboard controller issue
Did you check if the cable was connected properly?
In my opinion if you are 100% sure that the keyboard is ok then the issue must be related to the motherboard because there is no other part which is placed between the keyboard and mobo.
Bye

Volume and brightness keys not working with new keyboard on imac

I just purchased a new wired keyboard for imac and brightness and volume control keys not working . i have tried adjusting keyboard settings. I have software version 10.5.8. Do I need to upgrade software. Thank you for any help.

Do you have "Automatically Adjust Brightness" check box ticked in System Preferences > Displays > Display ? If so, you can't manually adjust brightness.

Satellite Pro A300 - FN Key not working with xp downgrade

I have just purchased a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 and downgraded the o/s to XP.
There is a problem with the FN key on the keyboard, it does not function. I dont know if this has something to do with the xp downgrade?
Any ideas please?

If you have downgraded to Windows XP with the Microsoft disk you must install the Toshiba utilities and Hotkey Utility.
This is necessary for the FN keys in Windows XP so check the Toshiba website for these utilities:

Using shift key not working with bluetooth keyboard

Am I missing something here? Or does the shift key not work with the iphone using a bluetooth keyboard? I'm using the logitech K810 for reference on iphone 6 iOS 8.1

The shift key works just fine on my Bluetooth keyboard. So I would imagine this is an issue with your keyboard.

Hello Everyone
I have a problem with my Toshiba Notebook Satellite A110-178 (PSAB0E). I replaced the original WIFI card Intel 3945abg with Intel Link 5100 and on the new wifi card wifi hardware switch is not working.
New wifi card is discovered and drivers working correct but when I try to scan for wifi networks with IntelPro/Wireless software I have message to turn on hardware switch but it's turn on and not work. On old wifi card swich is working correct - orange light is on. On new card light is off and swich is not working.
Please help

Hi
Maybe you could enable the Wlan card using different way;
Go to device manager -> WLan card properties -> Advanced tab
There you could check if there is a option which would enables the WLan.
Its worth a try
Otherwise its a compatibility issue like suggested by PinkPanther
I read in different threads that this could happens if there is a different pin assignment on miniPCI WLan card and this could not match with the miniPCI slot on the mobo...

Satellite Pro 6100: Fn keys not working

Hello,
Ive got a Satellite Pro 6100 notebook. Im having trouble using the secondary function keys (im not sure what they're called!). When I press the function (Fn) button, the light below the F10 button come on as it should, but when i press any of the F buttons i.e brightness up/down, nothing works!
I had a quick look at some of the keyboard help and troubleshooter in control panel which suggested the driver may be incorrect so i tried looking for an updated driver, but windows said i have the latest driver.
Does anybody else have this problem with the SP6100? Can it be fixed? If so how?!
Any help would be great.
Thanks - Kavi.

Hi
Even the Windows said you use the latest drivers, you should reinstall the drivers.
Firstly remove the Hotkey Utility Emulator for Display Devices from Add & remove programs.
The reinstall the common modules and Hotkey Utility Emulator for Display Devices.
Hope it helps pleas let us known if it will work or not

Apple Wireless Keyboard - some keys not working with iPhone 5

I just bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard (2011) and paired it with my iphone 5 (iOS 7.0.3).
All keys work except the following:
Space bar
Delete
Caps Lock
Down Arrow
Tab
I can understand if iOS has no concept of Tab, but Space and Delete are essential.
Did I get a bad keyboard?

Some Keys not working on the keyboard

Specifically the "T" and "5" keys refuse to work.
Have tried a reboot, logout, no luck.
Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo "Mermon" 2.33 Ghz 3GB Ram ....
Anyone else with this problem, or solutions?
Thanks

I have spent 20 minutes loging on in order to complain about my MacBook Pro underLeopard.
1 the keypad is capricious. It changes the location of the cursor when I use certain keys, especially capitals. This happens all the time in Mail and Gmail.
2 the trackpad is UNUSEABLE when connected to a projector. This happen often and i have to reboot to recover. A mouse works however.
That is about all not much but these probelms did not exist on the old model. The eradict trackpad is annoying and the keyborad not working are both exteemely annoying.

How can I restore my keyboard to factory settings? (some keys not working on new unit)

I bought an HP dv6-6167cl last night from Sam's Club and I like the notebook but for some reason the right shift key - ( a longer shift key with both "Pause" and "Shift" written on the key) does not work at all. I'm trying to determine if this is a driver or system configuration issue or if I need to exchange the computer for a different one. It may even be user error - is there some sort of trick to using this shift key? (function toggle or something)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Try to backup your personal files and perform a recovery which would put the Notebook back to factory condition. The instructions can be found below

Ten key not working with wireless keyboard

Hello everybody,
Does anybody know how to configure the wireless keyboard, so the ten keys will work?? It frezzes my laptop everytime I active any of the these keys...
Thanks!
Enriqueta.

what kind of keyboard, Apple brand or some other?
also what are "ten keys" - function keys, number keys?
usually no configuration should be required once the keyboard is recognized,
keyboard is not supposed to cause your system to freeze.

'{' Key not working with Apple Keyboard in Windows & Visual Studio

Good morning,
I've been bugged by this forever now and tried it with Windows XP, Vista and 7 now on my macPro & (the latest version of) Bootcamp: I can type the { and } brackets just fine in most windows apps (e.g. start > run etc), but in visual studio, for some reason the 'ctrl + alt + 7' (for the '{') does result in the whole line being commented with // instead of the expected opening '{'. 'ctrl + alt + 0' ('}') does however work just fine.
Now I am really not sure why this is happening, but it's the same for VS2008 and the VS2010 beta and developing in C# without a proper '{' combo is somewhat.. difficult
Has anyone ever come across the same behavior and knows what to do?
Cheers and thanks,
-J

Does it happen with another KB?
If only this KB then the is either dirty or faulty. Maybe this will help

Re: Qosmio F50-12J - FN key not working with new Value Added Package

Hi,
I have Toshiba Qosmio F50-12J and have trouble with Value Added Package v 1.2.28.
I can't get the flash cards to work. When I press FN key nothing happens. BTW, I installed VAP on freshly installed Windows 7 64 bit. With the previuos version of VAP that I tried on Windows 7, KeNotify.exe was crashing. Now there is no apparent crash, but nothing happens.
Also, there is a problem with the Button Support utility (touch sensitive controls). Whenever I reboot my system, all the white illumiation LEDs on my laptop are lit although I turned them off.
So, could someone confirm that they have a working Value Added Package v 1.2.28 on Windows 7 64bit ?

Hi buddy,
Your posting is a little bit confusing and in my opinion you make something wrong. My Qosmio F50 runs pretty good on Windows 7 and I dont have any problems with the FN keys, illumination buttons or other function.
First of all make sure that all drivers are installed!!! I mean chipset, graphic, sound, etc. Check the device manager and if you can find unknown devices or yellow exclamation marks download the missing drivers on the Toshiba page.
The Button Support Utility has nothing to do with Flash Cards support utility. So before you make something wrong, please uninstall Toshiba Value Added Package and Flash Card Supports Utility. Restart the notebook after uninstallation and clean the registry using CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/). If you have clean the registry, restart the notebook again.
Now you should install newest Toshiba Value Added Package. Restart again.
Install Flash Cards Support Utility for Vista. Restart again.
Now you should check if it works or not.
Sorry but thats all what I can say. I dont have any problems on my Qosmio F50 and Windows 7.

Spilt milk. Some keys not working. External keyboard?

I have a 2009 macbook. My daughter spilt some milk on the keyboard and now a few of the keys won't work. One of the keys is used in the password I use to get the desktop. Can I hook in an external keyboard and override the laptop keyboard?
Are there any other solutions to this problem? I need to get in to computer to backup some files.
Cheers

Keyboard: some keys not working

Some keys not working. Need help/suggestions. Not great with computers so PLEASE give details/steps re: how to do what you suggest - thanks!
Details: intel based iMac running snow leopard 10.6.8. Apple wireless/bluetooth keyboard (came with the iMac).
Some keys suddenly stopped working: space, tab, capLock, option key to the right of space bar (one on the left works), down arrow
The problem happens in various programs (safari, pages, etc)
The keyboard is fine on another iMac
A different keyboard is fine on this/the involved iMac
(nutshell: keyboard works fine - computer works fine, unless they're together)
Here's what's been tried/checked:
-checked the settings for universal access ("mouse keys" are off) and checked for any bluetooth keyboard shortcuts.
-in system preferences "speech" is not set for "speak selected text when the key is pressed" - this is not checked/selected
-tried creating a new user but had the same issue so it's computer-wide rather than just a user account
-removed the keyboard and reconnected (using the +/- signs and "disconnect" and putting in a new code of numbers to pair keyboard)
-language/text is set for english
-did the keyboard viewer and the keys in question did NOT highlight when pressed (but don't forget the entire keyboard is fine on a different computer so thekeys aren't the issue)
-"slow keys" is turned off re: keyboard in system preferences.
Any help is welcomed. It's frustrating knowing the keyboard works, just not with this computer. Please help. Many thanks!

yes - not sure how this works...if you can see my original post there are a lot of details in there. If you can't...
nutshell: the keyboard works on a different iMac
             a different keyboard works on this/the involved iMac
             I tried to create a different user and the keyboard still does not work so it is computer-wide
             I also removed the keyboard from the computer (using the +/- symbols and disconnecting and then repairing it. The problem remained
Thanks for any help. It's crazy that the keyboard is fine and the computer is fine but together, there's the problem.
Thank you!!!
