T400 HELP!!! Only Fn key functions work, all other keys do not!

Everything was working fine till i was in my browser and somehow hit spacebar only find that the screen has been magnified. From then on only keys with Fn function(light blue keys) worked; I have tried (Fn+Num Lk), (Fn+Scr Lk), (<right,left>shift+f10/f11), rolling back to previous backup, rebooting. Nothing works!! I tried these commands in the on-screen keyboard but there is no way to use the fn key, it does not have one. I have uninstalled the keyboard driver only for it to reinstall upon boot, it still does not work.
Only keys with the Fn function; Fn+F2(windows lock), Fn+F3(battery), Fn+F4(stand-by), Fn+F5(wireless), Fn+F7(presentation/screen display), Fn+F8(keyboard pointer and touch pad), Fn+F9(i don't know), F12(hibernate), scrLk(numLk), home(brightness+), end(brightness-), pg up(keyboard bulb), spacebar(magnify screen) and the think vantage blue button. Only these few work. All other neutral keys do not work. I'm not sure about PrtSc(sysRq) and pause(Break). I tried them but doesn't seem to respond
I have searched for all possible fixes, I am at an end if no one here is able to help me. I have deadlines coming up and am really desperate, HELP!!!

You may have a Thinkpad keyboard fault - fortunately the keyboards are field replaceable units.

  • Qwertzuio not working - all other keys fine

    Hi,
    the aforementioned keys on my Air's internal keyboard have stopped to work. This has happened before, and it went away again. PRAM-Reset and Restart had not solved it at the time, I don't know what did.
    Now they are dead again. Does anyone know how to reactivate them?
    Regards,
    Torsten

    (Yes, it is a German layout, when switching to English, it is qwertyuio not working)

  • The backslash key bound to " " all other keys are fine [SOLVED]

    Hi, I was wondering how I could rebind the problem key to the right character, or change the keymap if necessary, although the other keys are all fine.  I hope this is the right place to ask and thanks in advance.

    I think that changing the keymap with xmodmap would work. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xmodmap
    Sorry, but I don't have any idea what caused that. So I have no better solution.

  • 1 SWF works all other 3 do not in IE

    Folks,
    This is my first time posting here and I can not seem to find
    an issue to this problem...
    Ok, I have a website that the main page has a flash header
    that works just fine in both IE & FireFox; below that on the
    body I have 3 small flash movies with just rotating images;
    everything works just fine in FireFox; but in IE the bottom 3 do
    not work or even show... But here is the funny part... if I start a
    new page test.html and add the 3 movies in there using DW CS3 and
    run it on it's own; then they work in both IE & FireFox... then
    if I copy that code that works into the full page... the 3 stop
    working in IE...
    my flash code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','

    Jim,
    Yes without center it works fine on every browser I have
    tested... Another thing I found out since my last message is that 1
    single center works fine... but the second you have sub centers it
    stops working in IE7...
    I know there is a hand full of ways to accomplish this; but
    here are some examples I used:
    <table width="800" border="0" cellspacing="0"
    cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
    <td>header here... </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>
    <div align="center">
    flash movie
          flash movie
          flash movie
    </div>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    The above works... which is what I am using now...
    But, initially I was doing something like this, which does
    not work...
    <table width="800" border="0" cellspacing="0"
    cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
    <td>header here... </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td align="center">
    <div align="center">
    <table width="80%" border="0" cellspacing="0"
    cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
    <td><div align="center">flash
    movie</div></td>
    <td><div align="center">flash
    movie</div></td>
    <td><div align="center">flash
    movie</div></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </div>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    Seems like any time you add sub levels of alignment is stops
    working in IE7... I know that instead of the div I could just use
    table align center but it's flexible...
    Thanks
    Mykl

  • Upgraded hard drive, now only Photoshop from CS5 works and other programs do not

    I recently changed out my hard drive for a bigger one during a computer upgrade.  I deactivated my CS5 through Photoshop, and then changed out the hardware.  I brought the programs back over and now only Photoshop works and the other programs of CS5 do not work.  Is the license unique for each one?  I assumed I only needed to deactivate one member of the CS5 family.  What can I do now that I have a new hard drive?

    If by "brought the programs back over" you mean you somehow transferred them from the old drive to the new one, transferring does not usually work.  Adobe programs need to be installed using installations files.  If you need to you can download those files thru the following page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html

  • TS1381 My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226).  I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, test all other keys with keyboard view (all others work)  - HELP!!

    My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226).
    I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, & tested all other keys with "keyboard viewer" (all other keys work except for the arrow). 
    In addition, I have gone thru all the recommended checks with universal access and have booted from snow leopard dvd and the left arrow still does not work. 
    I have tried using the left arrow key in all of applications I use such as: excel, ms word, address book, calendar, iphoto, terminal, & highlighting an icon and using the arrows to move to another selected icon.
    Here is the kicker!  In addition, I purchased a logitech solar bluetooth keyboard and the arrows work fine with my ipad but do not work when paired with the macbook pro. All other keys work fine on the macbook pro using the bluetooth keyboard.
    I believe this says that the problem is not in my macbook pro keyboard. So where can it be?
    Can anyone think of any other rabbit holes I can search?
    thanks and regards

    I would also like to add that I've reverted the two cd drive and hard drive mods I did and the laptop is back to factory hardware and there is 0 corrosion or mold visible.

  • What are the functions of all the keys on my (not wireless) keyboard?

    what are the functions of all the keys on the (non wireless) keyboard?

    System Preferences > Language and Text > Input Sources tab. Top of the left column, tick (check) "Keyboard and Character Viewer", Bottom of window next to search field, tick "Show input menu in menu bar"
    System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab; tick "show keyboard and character viewers in menu bar"
    If you open Keyboard Viewer and press the alt (option) key, the location of the diacritical marks and common symbols will be revealed. Note that five of them are highlighted in orange; these are the ones which can be used with multiple  letters (acute, umlaut, gràve, circumflex and tilde)
    Shift+Alt will show more.

  • MSI Wind U110 - Reverse/swap the keys functions of the "Fn" key with "Left Ctrl"

    Hi guys,
    is there a bios-fix to reverse/swap the keys functions of the "Fn" key with "Left Ctrl" for the MSI Wind U110. I don't know why this keyboard is still that disfunctional. I think this is a well known issue, people complaining about for a long time. I am really hoping that you can help me.
    Thank you, CyberKlabauter.

    Have you tried using the 'Search' function up there.
    I did. But maybe I'm to stupid to do it right. I found this thread http://forum.msi.com.tw/index.php?topic=121066.0 but there is nothing about the U110. If I'm searching for U110 I get only three topics (one is this one). I guess I shouldn't use any bios hack from a other model.
    May you're willing to help me a little bit more. Thank you.

  • Getting Super Key to work as FN key.

    Hi.
    Recently I've bought port replicator II for my Thinkpad T40. When laptop is connected to replicator the lid is closed and I use additional keyboard. I was wondering, do You know how can I change the Super Key (the one with windows logo) to work as a FN key?
    Thanks in advance.
    Szelek.

    Do you mean to work as one of F1, F2, F3, etc? Or do you mean to work as the FN modifier key, that e.g., combines with the left arrow key to produce Home, and so on. Neither is trivial. The first shouldn't be too much trouble. The second will be a lot more trouble, and depending on your keyboard hardware, you may find yourself unable to fully replicate the FN keys behavior you want.
    What you need to do is the same for remapping this key as for any other key. You have to set it up differently for in the Linux Console/Virtual Terminals on the one hand, and in X on the other hand. (Unless you only use one of these.)
    For X, read up on xmodmap (manpage and Google it).
    For Linux console, the pipeline works like this. You press a key, and that generates a sequence of scancodes. These are reported by "showkey -s". The scancode sequence is then translated into a single keycode/keynumber. This is reported by "showkey -k". Then your keymap file translates that into a keysymbol. You can load your own keymap file using the command "loadmap", and your file can include other files, so it only needs to specify the keycode->keysymbol mappings it wants to overwrite. You can see your current mappings with "dumpkeys" and you can see all possible keysymbols with "dumpkeys -l".
    As unwelcome as this may be to hear, I really recommend that you read around a lot about "xmodmap" and "showkey" and "key remapping." I fumbled around with this stuff for months without really understanding it and it was frustrating voodoo that sometimes worked and usually didn't. Once you understand it, though, the voodoo aura will go away.
    If there were one or two excellent documentation sites, I'd point you to them, but I haven't found them. I had to learn by reading the man pages closely and reading 20-30 sometimes outdated, usually incomplete, overviews I found by Googling.

    Hey, i have an iphone 4, and it is upto date, the problem is that my phone does not play any videos online except on facebook, all other videos do not play instead a crossed play sign appears on the video. Please help.

    I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis - mostly with the YouTube app but also with Safari.
    Some YouTube videos are supported to be viewed on a computer only or with a Flash capable device, which is becoming few and far between since Adobe no longer supports Flash on any mobile platform.
    Sometimes I get this video cannot be played on this platform, but rarely.

    Logic's preference files may have become corrupted:
    1. Quit Logic Pro
    2. In the Finder, press and hold down the "option" key then select "Library" from the "Go" menu
    3. Open the "Preferences" folder
    4. Drag the following files to the Trash:
        - com.apple.logic.pro.cs
        - com.apple.logic.pro.LSSharedFileList.plist
        - com.apple.logic.pro.LSSharedFileList.plist.lockfile
        - com.apple.logic.pro.plist
        - com.apple.logic.pro.plist.lockfile

  • DATEDIFF function work in Oracle database or not ?

    Hai all,
    I like to know whether DATEDIFF function work in Oracle database or not.

    And to add to what Stew and Ranit have said... if you need the months between two dates, there's a special function for that...
    SQL> select months_between(sysdate, date '2011-04-18') from dual;
    MONTHS_BETWEEN(SYSDATE,DATE'2011-04-18')
                                    18.37051So, number of years between two dates can also be achieved with the same function and dividing by 12...
    SQL> select months_between(sysdate, date '2011-04-18')/12 from dual;
    MONTHS_BETWEEN(SYSDATE,DATE'2011-04-18')/12
