[SOLVED] MSI GT70 keyboard buttons not working

Hi! I am a normal user of computers that like games, so I bought this awesome notebook MSI GT70 i7 16gb ram GTX 675MX 128ssd+750hdd, with a keyboard by steelseries.
Everything was ok, using the notebook as came when I bought, with OS windows 8, with no format nor modifications by me, using it since January 2013.
The problem is that about 1 or 2 weeks some shortcuts of keyboard arent working anymore:
- Wifi button isn't working and isn't becoming orange when pressed, and Fn+F8 isn't working either;
- Screen shutdown button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
- Cd-dvd eject button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
- I tried also Fn+F9 and Fn+F12 shortcuts, and I think they arent working either.
At the same time, the Cooler button and the Backlight's Keyboard button are working correctly. Turbo button maybe is working too but I don't know if something become overclock when I activate it.
I would really appreciate some help, since I love my notebook very much, and I hope it's not a hard problem to solve.
Thanks!

Try resetting EC: >>How to reset the EC (Embedded Controller)<<
If that doesN't help uinstall SCM and after reboot install latest version: http://www.msi.com/service/download/utility-19670.html
Also try updating .Net Framework 4.5: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36377
Hi,
I followed your advice:
1. uninstalled SCM, restarted
2. installed SCM, restarted
3. tried to update .net framework, had it already
4. resat the EC
But unfortunately it did not change my GE60 2OC's behaviour: when i press the back-light button it opens my browser with dragoonarmy/msi.com>/ BUT NO LIGHT.
Do anybody have a suggestion to solve this??
Thanks Kurt

Keyboard Buttons Not Working With Update

When I first installed iTunes, I noticed that the media shortcut keys on my Labtec Media Keyboard were not working. They worked perfectly fine for Windows Media, but my primary audio player is iTunes. Then when I installed the 7.1.1.5 update, I noticed that my keyboard buttons were working for the first time with iTunes. Now that I just updated to 7.2, I notice that the keyboard buttons do not work again.
Any suggestions?

Maybe some of the following ideas will help those wanting to control iTunes in the background (I don't).
1. If you are running iTunes on a Mac (MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, or iMac) running Windows (via Boot Camp) then you can use the Apple Remote with iTunes (Boot Camp 1.2 drivers added support for the Remote). Therefore with initially iTunes in the background you can press the menu button on the Apple Remote to bring it to the front, and use the remote to control iTunes as normal. Furthermore, if you also have the Microsoft Media Center remote, you can still use the Media Center button to bring Media Center back to the front (pushing iTunes back in to the background) and then control Media Center.
2. The KeySpan Express Remote is a USB infra-red controller with both Mac and Windows software. I have not tried this on a PC but on the Mac, the software has a special iTunes mode to let you control iTunes in the background. Even if you don't use this special mode, it can still be configured have the equivalent of the Apple menu button to bring iTunes to the front and then let you control iTunes. See http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/urm17a/homepage.spml
Most of the time, I actually don't use iTunes to play music, but to merely act as a server. I use a Roku SoundBridge M2000 to play music (I have three of them around the house), and this can be used with a Mac or PC. There are also other similar devices available like the Sonos ZonePlayer or the SlimDevices SqueezeBox (or even possibly the Apple TV or XBox 360).
Note: If iTunes is already in the front then you can even use the Microsoft Media Center remote to control iTunes!!

9630 Keyboard/Buttons not working; hard resets and multiple reloads of OS did not correct

My BlackBerry 9630 Tour is a little more than a year old. Yesterday the keyboard, trackball, and all buttons stopped working while I was typing out an email. I could not power off the Blackberry without removing the battery for a hard reset. Unfortunately, even after many hard resets, the problem persisted, so I went to the forums for help and tried everything that seemed relevant (multiple times) with no success.
After reviewing a number of tech support posts, this problem does not appear to be unique to any given model of BB and contact with liquids is cited as a common but not the only cause for this condition.
I was outside on a very hot and humid day when the malfunction occurred so it is possible some perspiration may have come into contact with the keypad, convenience buttons, or trackball and caused the lockup.
I'm looking for someone with more smarts than me to help me troubleshoot, identify the actual problem, and identify the proper corrective actions. See below for a synopsis of my actions taken, with the exception of taking it to the shop for repair/replacement.
The corrective actions listed on the forums and blogs are varied but essentially fall into two primary solutions:
1. If moisture is suspected to be the issue, let the BB dry out overnight
    a. Pull the battery, naturally air dry or use a blow dryer, let it sit unplugged with no battery for at least 12 hours
    b. If this doesn't immediately work, try a clean install of the OS (see below)
    c. If this doesn't work, take to the shop and they'll either replace the keyboard and/or trackball or replace entire unit
2. If moisture is not suspected to be a factor then perform a backup followed by a clean install of OS
     a. Backup your files using Desktop Manager Backup and Restore
     b. Do a clean reinstall OS using Desktop Manager Application Loader
         i. The OS installation process is dicey and takes a little patience and focus-- you have to wait for the Desktop Manager to properly recognize the device before it can proceed on some of the steps and it may take several iterations to get completely through the process and get the "successful installation" message.
         ii. Further, you may need to keep the battery removed during the initial steps in the process and only insert it when the process gets to the point of actually trying to copy files into the BB memory
            * The BB LCD will display an icon that looks like a battery with a slash through it letting you know the process cannot proceed until a battery is inserted and the Desktop Manager Application Loader will also give you an error indicating it cannot find the device.
            * After inserting the battery, it will take a few seconds or more for the computer to recognize the USB device and for Desktop Manager to respond with the BB password pop-up window.
            * After typing in your BB password, the installation should continue.
    c. If you can get the OS successfully reloaded and your keyboard/trackball/buttons work -- great -- now restore your files and settings using Desktop Manager Backup and Restore and get on with your life.
    d. If this does NOT work after multiple successful clean OS installations apparently you are completely hosed; the only other option is to get it to the shop for repair or replacement.
1.. Does anyone have a troubleshooting procedures that will identify whether moisture is the root cause or not?
2. Is there another corrective procedure that's been missed?

Took BB to Sprint Store and technician took it apart, saw no evidence of moisture or any other damage, and concluded that the keyboard had failed. Not an uncommon occurance.
Also, he told me you cannot simply replace the keyboard, it is integral to the systemboard, so you need to replace the entire device.
He did commend the troubleshooting approach used prior to going to the store -- most folks won't take the time to do even basic troubleshooting (like taking out the battery), they just go to the store and say "fix it please". He confirmed that the steps outlined in the initial post were correct and did not have any other solutions.
Take away:
If you want to do some troubleshooting yourself to check for moisture, the process was pretty straightforward. After watching the technician, most folks with a little technical or mechanical aptitude should be able to manage the dismantling process. You just need a small phillips head screwdriver and a little patience. Good lighting and a magnifying glass or reading glasses also help!

Special keyboard buttons not working

Hello, everybody
I have got a HP G62 notebook and some of the "special" keyboard buttons are not working ( in other words, nothing changes ).
For example:
- display chooser button ( i.e., either just the laptop, either the projector, either both, etc. )
- sound on/off button
Anyone had any experience with this ?

While the keyboard binding part might not be that hard, I am stuck with figuring out how and what to get for the VGA and HDMI port switching ( see below ).
[ click for a bigger image ]
Any suggestions for a specific application or at least an idea of what should I search for ?

Keyboard buttons not working (FN, tab, caps lock)

i got the late 2012 imac back in january, and i'm using the keyboard that came with it.. a few days ago a couple keys on my keyboard randomly stopped working. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue, the keyboard looks perfectly fine and i havent damaged it at all/spilled anything on it.
the keyboard came with the computer and it's only a few months old so i don't know what the problem is.
i have my mac boot camped with windows 7, and the keys dont work on there either.
The only thing that makes me think that it could be a hardware issue, is that when i press caps lock the light dosent turn on. I've changed the batteries at least twice and that dident seam to fix it either.
Any help is appreciated and sorry if i posted this in the wrong section.

You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.

Keyboard buttons not working -- WiFi, Sound, etc.

Hello, I have a black HP Mini. I'm not quite sure of the exact model, since there isn't the usual sticker on the back.
The problem is the Wi-Fi supposedly disabled, but I can't enable it because the button isn't working.
The volume and backspace key also aren't working.

Ah, I found the product number on the computer.
It's an HP Mini 210-1000.

Hello all, I noticed my Turbo button doesn't work anymore. It doesn't lit up when I press it and the Enable and Disable options for the VGA overclock tool are greyed out.
The VGAOCAP.exe process is running, but I'm not sure if it depends on other processes or services
What should there be running and/or how can I reinstall the VGA overclock tool so it'll work again?

What OS are you running?

MSI GT70 0NC Bluetooth not working, not a driver issue

My Bluetooth was working just fine until recently. If I try to receive files, I get a message saying that files cannot be sent since a connection cannot be established, I need to make sure the Bluetooth radio is plugged in. I tried reinstalling the drivers, but once again, I am getting a message: "The software removal you are attempting cannot proceed. To remove this software, please first be sure that the Intel(R) wireless adapter is correctly installed and enabled.". If I go to the device manager, I cannot find any Bluetooth device, which on the other hand, might be because the Bluetooth is part of the Intel wireless card. I have been cleaning the laptop on my own, by opening the "hood", is it possible to have disconnected something accidentally? I have no clue what to do, and I need the Bluetooth a lot. I don't want to do a system restore just because of the Bluetooth.

MSi GE70 - Top Buttons not Working

Hi,
Quite a simple problem, that I've been working around for a while: all of the buttons on the top row except on/off and what I assume is fan speed, no longer have any effect.
I've had a few searches for this problem, and all I've been able to find is "update windows 8", which doesn't work (obviously!).
These buttons aren't part of the keyboard, and everything that is "Fn +" still works. I can eject discs using the button on the drive. Also, the Turbo turns itself on/off as necessary.
If anyone has any suggestions for fixes, I would most appreciate it!
Thanks in advance.

Quote from: crracer_712 on 28-December-13, 03:33:46
What buttons are you referring too? On my GE70 2OE, there is only a power button, top right, and a turbo fan button, top left, with a keyboard LED just to the right of that.
I have (from left to right) - Eject CD/Screen OnOff/Wireless/Fan Speed/Turbo/"P1"/OnOff above the keyboard.
Quote from: James D on 28-December-13, 05:26:07
He may have GE70 0ND.
Uninstall latest updates regarding net framework.
Reinstall SCM.
How do I do this?
