The 'caps lock indicator immediately truns off when any key is pressed.

I have a 6 week old system. When I press(turn on) the 'CAPS LOCK' key it does lite up . However it reverts to lower case - and lite turns off, immediately when ANY OTHER key is touched on the keyboatd.
I ran the anti virus program and it appeared to be fixed. However it does the same thing today, even after I run the anti VIrus program(s) again.
Help!?.........

Wired keyboard issues-caps lock won't turn off and other keys do not type

I sat down today to use my May, 2010 iMac. Fully up to date with Lion.
I am using a WIRED keyboard.
The caps lock key is permanently on and the remaining keys when pressed do nothing. They do not work. You can press the keys down but they don't type any letters or symbols of any kind.
I cannot log in because I can't type my password as the keys don't work.
I can't do a PRAM reset because the P and R keys and others don't work.
I don't know what an SMC reset is but I can't do that either because the keys don't work.
Why would a keyboard stop functioning? Yesterday, it was just fine. Now it doesn't work.
What causes the caps lock key to stay on?
I have unplugged the keyboard etc, but nothing changed.
Doesn't anyone know how to correct this problem? Do I just need to buy a new keyboard?
I called Apple but they were closed.

Please read teh directions for an SMC reset:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Equium A210 hangs on Post when any key is pressed

Hi, I have a Equium A210-1C4 that has an odd error, when I boot the machine and don't touch the keyboard it loads into Windows fine and everything works as it should.
If the machine shuts down unexpectdley,on restart it shows the common selection of safe mode and so on with the countdown timer, if I try and select one of the other options with the arrow key the timer stops and the machine hangs (as soon as I press any key) I then have to power it off and allow it to boot without touching anything in order to get it working again.
The same thing occures if I try and press F8 on boot, it just hangs.
I can get into the BIOS settings and also select the boot order settings. The keyboard is functioning well within windows (no stuck keys) and I have reloaded the O/S and flashed the BIOS to try and resolve this.
The Laptop had Vista loaded origianlly but now is Win 7 - both O/S's have had the same issue
Any ideas would be great
Thanks

Since you traded keyboards and got the same results when booting into Windows, it sounds like a Windows issue. Running the Recovery disks would reimage the hard drive and probably fix the problem. However it would wipe out all of the programs, files and settings that you installed and set since you got the computer. It would fix the problem but could cost you a lot in time and preparation by having to backup all of your files, music and pictures. Plus you may need to let some of your program publishers know that you are doing a reimage so you can get your software reinstalled without having to pay a second time. Depending how much stuff you have to backup, this could be a very time consuming process to fix this one problem.

Y2P dim screen, caps lock indicator stuck on. Already disabled adaptive brighness... Warranty?

Hi guys. Recently bought my second Y2P, this one second hand.
Reason being my previous one was the 4GB i5 model, this one is the 8GB i7
Now I've noticed a few things when I compare them. Firstly, and most annoyingly, the screen on this one is significantly dimmer than on my previous one. When I put it it max brightness it's only a little brighter than half way on my older one. When I put the brightness all the way down the screen turns off...
I''ve already disabled auto dim in the battery settings, windows setting AND intel graphics control panel so I'm sure it's not down to that. I'm running the updated BIOS on both the systems also. This is unbelievably frustrating.
Another annoying thing is that the CAPS lock indicator light is always on. Apart from when I press a button, it turns off whilst anything is being pressed (on the keyboard). It does this as soon as the machine is switched on.
BIOS setting have been reverted to standard etc and nothing seems to be fixing any of it. I have also done a full reset of the machine on numerous occasions. Nothing.
One last niggle is that I've noticed that the touchpad is ever so slightly sunk in (something that I probably only noticed because I have another yoga to compare it to) and there is some play in the touchpad which I would have noticed this regardless.
Is it time to contact Lenovo warranty team?
Sorry for the long post, and I'd really appreciate any advice!

Just to keep the thread updated in case by any chance someone has similar problems...
I've contacted Lenovo who are saying it's likely a motherboard issue, I'll be getting a letter with details of how to arrange a courier to collect the system within the next few days. I'll let y'all know what comes of it!

Caps lock indicator

My Pavilion P6320 came with the standard HP wireless keyboard and mouse. No problems using these, but there is no direct indication on the keyboard as to whether the Caps lock and Num lock are on or off. When either is changed an indicator appears briefly in the bottom right of the screen.
Is there any way this indicator can be permanently displayed, for example in the task bar?

Any way to have the caps lock indicator display on the monitor? Can never figure out whe it's active.

Caps Lock Indicator on Wireless Keyboard

I recently purchased and installed HP's wireless Keyboard and Mouse LV290AA. As this keyboard doesn't include lights indicating whey Caps Lock is on, is there any software or other way to indicate when the Caps Lock is on or off?

Hi,
I found this... actually, I knew I had it and it occurs to me that it may work for this application.
Like many HP packages, the information avavilable on the contents is sketchy. Neither do I have access to the code so I cannot glean the details. Nonetheless, it is a tiny program and it may work to restore your Caps Lock on/off indicator

Description:
This package provides the HP On-Screen Display Utility for the supported notebook models and operating systems. The HP On-Screen Display Utility enables the pop-up graphic displays that are shown on the screen when certain characteristics, such as volume or brightness, are changed.
If I find anything else... I will POST!
Good Luck!

The Caps Lock Symbol shows up automatically in the password login box

All of a sudden this keeps happening, and I can't log on as the Administrator anymore, as I usually do.
When I restart the computer, the Caps Lock button lights up automatically, before I touch anything.
When I click on the ID that I want to use to log in, and type in the password, it doesn't work (presumably, because the letters are all cap, and my password is all lower case.
If I press the caps lock button to take it off, the caps lock symbol shows up in the Password box, so my password still doesn't work.
Any ideas on how to get rid of the automatic caps lock, when I can't even log in as Admin to make any changes?
I've already tried re-starting; taking the battery out and restarting...

I've figured out a way to log in as Admin, so I've solved that problem, and I've figured out that the problem is that the caps lock button is reversed somehow; when it is lit, then everything is lower case. If I hit it to take off the light, then everything is upper case. I'm sure there must be a way to solve that. I'm going to check on that now.

Apple wireless keyboard caps lock light wont turn off

I have an apple wireless keyboard that came with my 2011 imac and up untill last month the caps lock light wont turn off even when i turn caps lock off and its draining my battery. usually the keyboard will turn off whenever the computer was off but now i have to turn the whole keyboard off everytime im not using it to save battery.

It is probably faulty. If you are close to one, I suggest you take it to an Apple store for diagnosis.

Turn of the Cap Lock?

My text tool only allows all capital letters. How do I turn of the Cap Lock?

Your keyboard must have a key called: Caps Lock
This is normally above the shift key.
It is a toggle key so press once to turn it on; Press again to turn it OFF; You get the idea.

You might consider zapping your PRAM.

How to turn the Caps Lock notification off?

Every time I press Caps Lock, a giant grey notification appears in the middle of my screen for a few seconds. I really want to turn this off because it annoys the hell out of me. Any idea how?

hi JoeMorris,
Thank you posting and welcome to the community.
After reading you r post I'd like to get a clarification of the Issue? May I know which Lenovo Model do you have in your possession? Another thing i'd like to know is which windows version are you using?
Most newer lenovo models when hitting the caps lock on or off will display a small icon. on the bottom right of the screen and none like the ones you mention in your post which is displayed in the middle of the screen. These type of display are normally seen in the older machines.
The display option you mentioned are normally controlled by the "On Screen Display" Driver which can be found in the control panel.You might want to uninstall the "On screen Display".
Do let me know on how it goes and post your finding. I'll assist you further with the information provided.
Regards

Is there a way to eneble the caps light while the caps lock is off

I would like to have my computer so that the green LED is on when the caps lock is off. Is there any way?

It's very unlikely that there is any way to do that. Why not just learn to accept that what the light means is what it means?
