Single key has stopped working

HI,
the #'s on the right hand side of the keyboard have stopped working, and when you push one of the buttons it brings up a find it search bar on internet explorer or just beeps. I've tried num lock, scroll lock, and keyboard options in the control panel. I don't knw wat else to do.
Can anyone help?
Thank You

Hi annanel,
> when you push one of the buttons it brings up a find it search bar on internet explorer
Maybe you have a virus on the computer? You should run your antivirus and search for viruses.
Furthermore if a single key has stopped working you have only one option for repair and this is exchanging the whole keyboard because single keys cant be exchanged.
You can get a new keyboard from an authorized service provider and they can also exchange the keyboard for you. :)

  • One key has stopped working

    Hi, hope someone can help.
    The i key has stopped working on my 2011 Macbook Pro. i've tried taking the key off and cleaning underneath, pressing it hard, pressing on the side, tried turning off text to speech...
    All the other keys are working fine. Tried to book a genius bar appt but there are none available and i can't afford to pay for tech support!
    Any suggestions please?

  • The dash key has stopped working on my macbook pro

    help!!the dash key has stopped working on my macbook pro mid 2010 and its amazing how much i need to use it has anyone else had this problem with keys and would they be able to fix it at the genius bar at my apple store

    Well if you took it completely apart and couldn't get it to work by operating the silicone "cone" then the trace or contactor must be corroded or discontinuous. The only repair is to replace the keyboard. Sorry.

  • One row of keys has stopped working.   System was fine last night, sent it to sleep as usual. When I woke it up this morning, the keys were dead. I made no changes to the system at all recently (new installs, font changes, etc.).

    The keys that no longer work are on the lower row, from Z~/ (plus the left-most Command key and the space bar on the bottom row).  System is iMac (Intel), about five years old, running 10.5.8 (happily), with a wired keyboard (with number pad). 
    Solutions tried (all without fixing the problem):
    - change to another keyboard
    - change keyboard(s) to another USB port
    - reset SMC (twice)
    - reset PRAM (twice)
    - switch to another User Account
    Kind of running out of ideas ...  Anybody have any suggestions?

    Other things tried:
    - checked all the options in Universal Access, to make sure none of the 'Sticky Keys' etc. were activated
    - booted from the Install disc ... still no go. Even then, the same keys don't work.
    Looks very much like a major hardware fault, I guess ...

  • HT1338 My 'C' key  has stopped working unless I press it really hard. Does anyone know why please?

    I have a macbook but the c key only works when I press on it really hard. Does anyone know how to mend this problem? I've tyried switching the laptop off but it hasn't worked.

    Bubble membrane keyboards tend to wear out, use a external "clicky clack" IBM type keyboard with a nice 6 foot cable.
    These sort of keyboards last decades of heavy pounding because the key itself is designed to stop by hitting the frame before any damage occurs.
    Thing about using the extenral KB is that one takes the wear and tear of the weak bubble keyboards, also improves resale value.

  • Wireless keyboard - return key has stopped working.

    The return key on my wireless keyboard has just stopped functioning along with the backslash key to the left of it.  Any ideas as to the likely cause, or has it just packed up? I'm having to use the keyboard viewer or the old USB keyboard for these functions - which is a pain.

    Hello:
    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.  If that does not help, I would suspect a failed KB.

  • Control Key has stopped functioning

    Hi All,
    My MBP (early 2009) 17" has just come back from apple after having the motherboard, battery and magsafe port replaced. Unfortunately the ctr key has stopped working, this is osx (10.6.5) and Windoze 7. Does it need to go back to the shop or is there some firmware or software that hasn't been installed after its replaced innards that i can sort out.
    Mike

  • The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

    The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro.  If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
    This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
    Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi there,
    Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
    Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
    Best Regards,

  • Quicktime player has stopped working in Vista after registering Pro key

    I have installed QT player as part of the itunes QT package today and it appeared to work untill I registered it with my pro key which also enabled the additional function, but when i closed and restarted I get message "Quicktime player has stopped working...etc" and it never opens. I have repaired, reinstalled QT, reinstalled QT and itunes, all to no effect. I then restored to before QT and i tunes installation then reinstalled QT and itunes and it works again !, but only until I enter pro key and exit and restart. There is also an issue with the addin in internet explorer which also does not work, but generates a string of error messages when i try to play movies. Oddly enough, if I run QT as administrator it works, and if it seems the QT browser addin works in Firefox (when run off memory stick)
    I'm completly confused and frustrated; anyone any ideas please, I'm running Vista SP1 on Dell XPS420 Quad core 2.4 Gig 4MB RAM

    Have looked in this a little further and the problem may not be todo with the Pro registration as having restored to a point before QT installation several times I now find that when reinstalled QT works the first time you run it but once closed it will not reopen. However if I run as administrator it runs OK, also if i turn off User Account Control it works OK; this true for the Internet Explorer addin as well as QT player and even the picture viewer. The picture viewer actually reports an error "Quicktime has failed to intialize Error # - 2095". One final observation is that the QT addin works OK without user account control switched off in Firefox 3 b5.
    Something is amiss I suspect with permissions/security and i would rather not operate with User Account Control off.
    Much appreciate anyones advise on this it is driving me mad

  • My Apple Bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works but the rest of the keys do not. I was carrying this in my computer bag without turning it off and that is when this started.

    My apple bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works and the iPad sees the bluetooth keyboard (the bluetooth icon is active) but the other keys do not work. For the past coupld of days I have carried my keyboard in my computerbag without turning it off and I am thinking I have done something to make the letter keys to stop working. Two days in a row I did turn on the music as I carried the computer bag into work so I know that some keys were being activated.

    *UPDATE*
    I have been able to use the Zoom function to zoom in and the keys on the top row no longer are in the non-responsive strip of area.

  • My built-in  key board has stopped working how can i fix this?

    my built-in key board has stopped working all of a sudden how can i fix this?

    Did you spill any liquids on your keyboard?  If you are in the habit of eating and drinking while using your computer, the keyboard is probably dirty.  Use a can of compressed air or a vacuum hose to remove the debris underneath the key.  If that does not work, you may actually have a hardware issue.
    If you Apple Care, call them and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
    NOTE:  If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with.   They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
          If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.
