Some keys faulty after spillage

Hi. Spilled water on to my Apple Wireless Keyboard recently. It's nearly working again, save for a couple of particular problems.
For a day or two, one keystroke caused multiple characters to appear - presumably because of water still being in the keyboard.
I've left it to dry out while using a spare, and nearly all keys now work just fine. The two that definitely don't are the space bar and backspace keys.
Is there any way to fix those keys at all?
And I've heard about SMC and PRAM resets - would those have any effect, or are the remaining problems just down to water damage?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello:
You could try the resets, but I doubt if they will fix the water damage.

Some keys stopped responding apparently after latest update

Dear all,
all of the sudden, apparently after the latest update, some keys on my native keyboard stop responding from time to time. Mostly I can verify the problem with the a, s, k and l keys. It seems that pressing the combination ctrl+alt solves the problem for some time.
What I tried was
- checking the Activity Monitor for processes that take a large amount of CPU -> no.
- performing a P-RAM reset -> problem disappeared for an hour or so.
- safe mode, restore permissions -> did not have any affect at all.
It also seem that the external keyboard works without any problem (bluetooth).
Any hint or solution?

It's possible your macbook keyboard needs cleaning out. If you eat while using your computer, crumbs could have gotten underneath the keys. You should visit the macbook forums for instructions on keyboard cleaning in case that is the cause of your problems.

Wireless keyboard right shift don't work with some keys but left shift works

So, this is really a strange behaviour under Mavericks 10.9.5
My right shift doesn't like some "keys" and some keys don't like the shifts ( either left or right ). For example:
doing a " ? " or a " B " or a " % " with the right shift doesn't work. I mean, after i remove the batteries and stay without using the keyboard for a day or two, when i get back to it, it works for a couple of minutes. But after that... i just can do a capital B or a ? with the right ****. Although i can do all other characters.
the " t " key is another one. No caps here, with either left or right shift key. But the key by itself is working just fine.
So i'm not really 100% convinced it's an hardware fault, because the all keys are working properly in other situations.
Any idea about this strange behaviour?
thank you for your time,
Regards
Pedro.

Hello Postmodum,
Check out the article below and turn on the keyboard viewer to see what happens to the keyboard when you press the right shift key. You may find out that it may be linked to add another combination of keys, which can produce the odd behavior that you are describing.
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

Some keys are not working, stopped functioning suddenly

Hi All,
I am using a t440s laptop and we can call it brand new (using for 3 months so far). Yesterday suddenly key "o" stopped functioning suddenly and I pressed somehow harder to it and it was back again. After a while yesterday night, suddenly some keys stopped functioning. The keys that are stopped functioning are;
"q w e r u ı o p" (one of them is i, as this is a Turkish keyboard. Let me state that no food or liquid spoiled on it or anything like that. Notebook was staying idle at lock screen on the desk.
Restoring, reverting or reformatting is my last chance as this is a critical notebook for me as I use it for my company.
Thanks in advance

Hi Buraktibet,
Thanks for the reply.
Try to update the driver and check for the issue.
Click here for the driver.
Also try to reinstall the operating system and check for the issue, if still the issue persist then it is a hardware issue, as you have mentioned the system is in warranty please contact the customer service center for the replacement or you can also visit the nearest authorised service center.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!

Some Keys are not working on Lenovo G570

Hello all
I am new here, looking for some help regarding my Lenovo G570.
Yesterday, it was working perfectly, I properly shut is down. I have set a BIOS pasword.
Today, when I switch it on, I was unable to type the pasword becasu some keys were not working. However, I managed to loged in with the help of On Screen Keyboard. After analysing it, I came to know that some keys on numpad includeing 0,2 and on the 2nd line(vertical numerical keys) 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,0 are not working. I tried to re-install the OS but I set a BIOS paswoed containing one of the missing keys.
Please let me know whether it is a software problem or should i take my laptop to some repairing shop?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Asadkhan92,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing an issue with the keyboard in your Lenovo G570 laptop.
As you have mentioned that the some keys are not working in your laptop, as you have also mentioned that the onscreen keyboard is working, please connect the external keyboard and check for the issue, this is to confirm if the issue with the hardware or software.
If the external keyboard works fine and if the keypad is not working then it’s a issue with the keypad of the laptop.
Please visit the nearest service centre for further details.

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.
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56777
my conclusion is something in the last system update screwed it up.

Worn key letters after a month

I really like my brand new HP Pavillion dv7-6c52eo. However, after using it for just a month, the letters on some keys are already worn. That I don't like. What do HP think about this? It feels a bit excessive to fail a complaint about it, but still it is a quite expensive thing and quite annyoing.

We get this complaint every now and then and I have seen it on many laptops. 2 copies of the same model laptop can be used the same amount by two different people and the rate of wear on the key lettering will be different. My own theory is that some people just have skin oil that wears out keyboard keys more than others, or perhaps there is some sealant that is supposed to go over the key letters and every now and then a batch of keys goes out that is not properly sealed. In my opinion the keyboard letters ought to remain visible for at least a year even under the most intense usage. The problem is even if HP will replace the keyboard do you want to be without the laptop for 4-5 days for a new keyboard and will it just happen again? Keyboards are very cheap and easy to replace but replacing the keyboard yourself runs the risk of voiding the warranty.

Apple Keyboard used on MacBook: Some keys not working

Hello,
I use an Apple Keyboard (USB-connection, aluminium, Model No.: A1243, 2007) for typing longer texts when my MacBook is connected to an external monitor.
Since I have re-installed the OS X software on my MacBook because I had to replace the hard drive, the Keyboard doesn't work successful. Some keys just don't work; The letters cannot be typed. (Affected keys: "8", "I", "K", "," and number pad keys "7", "4", "1")
I installed all software updates for keyboards that could be found on the apple support webpages.
The keyboard istelf doesn't show any defects for me.
What can I do to solve the provlem? Or to get to know if it's a software-based problem? I want to exclude all possible software reasons.. In a worst case I have to replace the keyboard, I think. But it always worked fine and a new one can be expensive.
Thank you for all hints!
Message was edited by: fritzmartini

have you tried command-option and the keys? or command and one of the keys? if so did it work??? if not, try going into the finder, and go to preferences file, but did not know which one would be the culprit. The strategy I adopted, which took me back to my System 9 (and earlier) days, was to go into the Library folder of the affected user account, open up the Preferences folder (after backing it up elsewhere on the hard drive), and take out a small number of files (.plist files, etc) at a time, log out then back in and note any changes. The theory is that if there were any changes then it is most likely that the offending file was in the last group to be removed. You would then replace those files one at a time until the problem returned. Eventually I found the culprit. To my surprise it was the com.apple.loginwindow.plist file. Removing that cured things completely.
Why that particular preference file affected that particular key is beyond me, but it fixed the problem!

Laptop Keyboard problem, some keys get randomly ignored

Hello,
This is a problem that occurs with all razer blade notebooks when running linux (does not occur in Windows 8); some keys get randomly ignored when you type at your normal speed, and it is very frustating especially when typing passwords or programming. At the moment we have to type very slowly in order to get all keystrokes caught. The keyboard has antighosting technology, maybe that info is useful.
This is the further we went in this post:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=161634
In that post, a forum partner proposed to modify "drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c" and set "interval = 1;" right after the mouse pooling interval was set, around line 1134 of the file. When we use that modified kernel, the keyboard feels a little better but i still get ignored keys when typing at normal speed.

Does anyone know, based on their experience, what could be the cause of the keyboard malfunction?
Does this type of error occur for some other notebooks too?
It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction for where to look.

For all i know (Not a lot) I'm thinking it might have something to do with your usb?(Worst answer ever!)
Did you try a different port.
Please let me know if this worked .
On the side(What kernel version are you running?)
Hi. Well in this case the problem is with the Razer Blade Laptop's keyboard, therefore i cannot choose another port. You gave me an idea however, i will try to get any usb keyboard, plug it into the razer blade and make sure it works so that i can discard any major problem.

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys that are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this. Can anyone help? of course this happened after my warranty expired.

**update**
I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose. In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!). Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind. I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store. But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working.
So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off. Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
Hopefully this might help someone.

Hello mahi_20. Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand certain keyboard keys are not working. The issue could be hardware or software related. Before anything else, I would attempt cleaning the keyboard. For more information on how to clean a notebook keyboard, please reference this guide: How to Clean a Laptop Keyboard
If the issue is not resolved, after cleaning it, there is likely a software issue. To assist you thoroughly, I require the following information:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Locating the Model Number of the Computer
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Have you installed any new hardware on this computer, before the issue appeared?
4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
Please respond as soon as possible. I look forward to your response.

System Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts does not recognize some keys

Upgrading to Snow Leopard meant leaving Unsanity's elegant Menu Master behind. I've been trying to make do with System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Applications Shortcuts. I've had some success. I'm now looking for help dealing with unfortunate shortcomings.
At the top of my list:
Keyboard Shortcuts doesn't let me use some keys I was accustomed to using in Menu Master:
• Delete, Help, forward Delete, Home, End, Page Up and Page Down just beep.
• Enter is accepted, but it's treated the same as Return -- these are two different keys!
Is there some way to trick/force Keyboard Shortcuts to accept these keys?
For example, I seem to recall Menu Master required a mouse-down to enter some special keys.

not for me. it's both displayed and treated differently. I suspect what you are seeing is a byproduct of using a haxie such as Menu Master.
no it's not. it's treated differently.
In Leopard, Menu Master let me assign Command+Enter to Address Book > Edit Card. When I attempt the same using Keyboard Shortcuts, both Command+Return and Command+Enter are displayed as Command plus a "return arrow." After that, in Address Book, both Command+Return and Command+Enter invoke the "Edit Card" menu action.
not for me.
if you want to use those keys in the shortcuts use one of the many 3rd party app launchers. any one of them will let you do this: Qucisilver, Butler, Spark, Launchbar, ikeys, quickeys etc.
I've been using QuicKeys since the beginning of time, and I have some experience with Butler and LaunchBar. They're useful for what they do. But, as far as I know, none add keyboard shortcuts that are displayed directly in the menus. That display feature is what makes Menu Master and Systems Prefs > Keyboard Shortcuts so attractive.
that's because Menu Master is a haxie. none of the other programs mentioned are. you want such functionality you are going have to use a haxie. personally - i stay away from them as they destabilize the system.
When I'm considering new shortcuts, I use KeyCue to display all current shortcuts in a single display. KeyCue now displays QuicKeys shortcuts in the same display, which is a big help.

Hp pavilion d4 : some keys are not working

some keys are not working as i used it after 4 months gap. do it need hardware replacement or it is due to moisture?

Hi,
While this could be a hardware issue, it's always worth trying the following.
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Regards,
DP-K

I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event and the number of pictures.

Hello,
I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event with the event title, the number of pictures and the pictures itselve as small thumbnails. BUt ounce I want to open the event to see the pictures in full screen the event title annouces 0 pictures and no pictures are visble anymore to mee. I have checked if the pictures are marked as hidden and this is not the case. What's going wrong. All the other events are visible in a normal way.
The albums with the same pictures into them are visible.
Thanks for your help,
Raf

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.
