Some keys don't work in combination with Shift

Okay so I have the Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b011nr
Serial Number: [Personal Information Removed]
Product Number: C6N92UA
and today I noticed certain keys don't work in combination with the left Shift for example, Shift+S (both left and right), Shift+M, Shift+Z, Shift +X, Shift+C don't work, shift+F does work but gives me this FV. same with j it gives me JM instead. I installed an updated bios, ran a diagnostic test using F2 and under the compenant test for the keyboard it failed and gave me this
keyboard test failed
failure Id # U375BD-6m96P5-MFPX1F-G03B03
product id # C6N92Ua#aba
now while trying to type all this I found other letters now working as well as me not being able to input the semicolon with either shift key. frustrating since I got this laptop in June so it's still under warranty. Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so how do i fix mine? I'm pretty tech savvy so feel free to let me know, or is my only option is a replacement from HP?
Thanks!

[Solved]Keyboard layout screwed up and some keys don't work

After I reinstalled xorg-server 1.5.3-1 and installed xf86-input-evdev 2.0.1-1 and xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1 some of my keys don't work and keyboard layout screwed up. I had finnish (fi) layout, but now it's "us". Arrows, insert- delete- home- end- pg up- pg down- print screen- scroll lock- pause- keys don't work. All characters behind Alt Gr + "" don't work either.
How to fix this?

Bluetooth Keyboard - Some key don't work

Hi friends,
I have a 2011 (intel based) 27'' iMac with the bluetooth keyboard. I have two non working keys (control and 1).
There's a way to repair it? My iMac doesn't have warranty and I would like to repair it. What can I do??
Note: I remove the key and see everything fine, but still don't work.
Sorry for my bad english.

Macbook pro 13inch,mid2010 qwertyu keys don't work after upgrade os x Yosemite

macbook pro 13inch,mid2010 qwertyu keys don't work after I upgrade os x 10.10 Yosemite. but it works on keyboard viewer. I'm not sure if it's hardware or software problem, how can I fix it?

Hello there, kipolo.
Great job using the Keyboard viewer to troubleshoot your issue so far. The following Knowledge Base article provides a great checklists of steps to pinpoint the issue a bit further:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond - Apple Support
Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane in System Preferences, then click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

I have an ancient laptop (from 2005) that has my entire music library. This laptop barely works and some keys don't type anymore. How can I get all this music transferred to another computer, or available to me on the cloud?

No... do not move programs.
About the iTunes library files
Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

Some of my keys don't work and now I can't login

Yesterday I accidentally spilled some liquid on my keyboard. A vey small amount and generally my computer is fine. I used q tips and paper towels to clean under the keys as best I could, turned it off, and put it in rice. unfortunately a few of my keys don't work--u i j k " : m < . The rest of the keyboard is fine and when I checked my laptop was still working fine. I"ll buy condensed air, and then pop off the keys and clean it if necessary. But I figured even if it didn't fix the problem I'm not buying a new laptop right now so I would just work around the missing keys. But I decided to restart my laptop and now I'm stuck on the login screen bc my password requires some of those keys. I was hoping to use my appleId to get in but I'm never prompted for it after entering wrong passwords. I was going to create a new user and bypass the password but the commands to do that also require those keys. I don't have access to my
installation discs.
Other options?

Keys don't work with firefox 5.0

I uploaded Firefox 5.0 and now the Home, End, Page Dn/Up keys don't work! I need these on eBay. The arrow keys now send you all the way to the top or bottom of the page with no stops in between. I really hate it when you guys change things; there was nothing wrong with the previous version. Now I have to use Internet Explorer. Boo.

No but what I have is on my this page at the top. (see profile for more pages)

Pause, back, and fwd (F6-8) keys don't work with iTunes. [Windows 7 64-bit]

All my other F# keys work (I can adjust the screen brightness, adjust the volume...etc) but my Pause (F8), Back (F7) and Fwd (F9) keys don't work with iTunes. Though they DO work with Windows Media Player.
How can I get them to work with iTunes?
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit on a macbook pro.

Same problem here.

Function keys don't work on New IMac with Leopard.. very sad

We just got a New IMac with Leopard at work and my F Keys don't work at all. I have tried everything, even checking the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys", but it doesn't work at all. I use these keys all the time. How can I fix this?

My Bad, I am sure I am not the only one that has done this. I had not assigned the F Keys to their function under Exposé, I thought they didn't work after I turned on the F Keys under the Keyboard & Mouse window. So, I thought I would post this to help anyone else that did this.
They now work, yea!!!!
Sometimes we solve our own problems quite well
I believe that Leopard does reset to the default F keys.

Some keys are not working properly

Hello,
This is my first time having to come on and ask for help. This morning I cleaned the screen and keyboard on my HP Envy laptop while it was turned off. After, the keys wouldn't work properly. The caps key won't work, and some of the keys won't work at all. So, I refreshed and thought that would help set things back in order. But, now Microsoft is asking me to sign in and I can't because the keys don't work properly. Also, I think I made a mistake in refreshing the laptop because now the my finger print won't work with the simple pass on the keyboard. How can I fix this?
Look forward to hearing from anyone who has had this issue, and has a solution.
Thank you,
Maureen

What can I do if my function keys don't work correctly?

QuestionWhat can I do if my function keys don't work correctly?
AnswerFunction keys can mean a few different things. You might be having a problem with the F-keys near the top of your keyboard (F1, F2, etc.), the secondary functions of the F-keys (toggling the wireless or touchpad, for example), or special media keys on your laptop.
There are a few steps you can take to try to resolve these issues. Try the suggestions listed below in the order presented. If a step fixes the problem, you're done! If a step doesn't fix your problem, continue to the next step.
Understand the FN key
First, ensure you understand how to use the FN key. In most newer models, the special utilities of the F-keys are used when you press the F-keys. To use the F-keys, you need to hold FN first. In older models, this was reversed. pressing the F-keys activated the F-keys. The special utilities of the F-keys are used while holding FN. If you're having trouble using your F-keys, try both with and without the FN key.
Reinstall TVAP or Toshiba Flash Cards Utility
Some models may use the Toshiba Value Added Package or the Toshiba Flash Cards Utility. Check the support site to see if these utilities are available for your model. If you see either listed, download and install it. Some models don't use these utilities; it's okay if you don't see either of them.

Next / Previous media keys don't work on 3rd Party Keyboard, Play/Pause does work. [MAC]

Hello!
So I am using a Logitech G710+ keyboard with my Mac (running 10.9) , and the media keys (Play/Pause, Stop, Next and Previous) work perfectly fine with iTunes, even in background.
Now, when I use Spotify, I usually quit iTunes (to stop conflicts), but only the Play/Pause key seems to work.
It does work in the background, which is good, but crucially the Next / Previous keys don't work at all.
Any ideas?

So I have the exact same issue as everyone else here. I have a Logitech K750 wireless keyboard running Yosemite on my MBP. I don't necissarily think this issue resides with Spotify, but instead with Logitech. If I use the media keys on my MBP I am capable of using Next/Previous even when Spotify is in the background. On the wireless keyboard only Play/Pause and the Volume buttons work. I think the issue is with the key mapping with the Logitech. Then again, I don't know how the code is written. Maybe Spotify missed an alternative key map for the media buttons. I didn't write the code.... The logitech forum is a ghost town for this issue though. Only post I found was 5 years old. EDIT: With further reasearch I DO believe the problem lies with Spotify. A tech for Logitech explained to me that Spotify wrote some "interesting" code for the keymap functionality for its Mac client. A quick Google search shows that it is not only Logitechs experiencing this issue. It would be great if we could get someone to look into this. It isn't critical, but it sure would be nice to get fixed.

Freaky Gigabit Ethernet Powerbook C T OPTION keys don't work

OSX 10.3.9 installed here...(1) to mount as a Firewire drive, holding the "t" key has no effect - goes to Finder (2) to boot from CD/DVD, holding the "c" key has no effect - goes to Finder, and (3) to try to run Apple Hardware Test before sending this unit to AppleCare, holding the "option" key has no effect, nor does the "commandoption+shiftdelete" key combination with a USB keyboard - goes to Finder. Going into AppleCare because certain keys don't work at all (Zero, hyphen, Delete, Return), but c, t, option, command, shift keys do. Any ideas? AppleCare demands that Apple Hardware Test be run on this unit...

Tom: You say you've tried Command-Option-Shift-Delete to boot to the AHT CD using a USB keyboard, without the desired result. Have you tried the same key combination using the built-in keyboard? I'm not sure whether you're supposed to be able to use a USB KB to control the startup process, and it may matter what USB keyboard you use.
Once you've booted to the HD with the USB keyboard connected, can you use it to type the characters that don't work on the built-in KB, including c, t, Option, Delete, zero, hyphen, Return and any others that seem to be broken on the PB's KB? If so, your built-in KB may be bad, or it may not be securely connected to the logic board. Have you disconnected and reconnected the KB cable (it's right under the KB)?
