W520 Keyboard lettering and numbering Quality Question

When I comparing my recently acquired W520's keypad with my other Lenovo Thinkpad keypads (listed below), it seems all the lettering, numbers, etc on all keys look somewhat like decals that have lifted or are crinkling and appear somewhat blurred around the edges of the symbols when light reflects off them at certain angles ..... equally so on all keys. The distortion from reflected light at certain angles makes the smaller symbols on some keys unreadable from the glare, which is not the case on any of my other ThinkPads.
I do not see this on my T42, T61p or T500 units .... all keys look equally clear and smooth from any angle on those units.
I'm under warranty so should I call support, or is this the new normal for newer ThinkPads?
Thanks
Two (I used to have Five) - T61p 15.4" WS T9300 2.5Ghz units, August 08/08 Builds with FX570M Nvidia Graphics; ... One W520 i7-2860QM w/2000M Nvidia Graphics (most recent acquisition and stupidly fast); .... One - T42 4:3 15" Flexview 1.8GHz with ATI Graphics (still perfect for traveling); ... Two - T500 15.4" units both with ATI HD3650 Graphics.

Thanks ... they all become unreadable (especially the small blue ones) when light reflects off them at certain angles .... very different from my other 5 ThinkPads when viewed from those same angles.
Probably just a "bad-day" production error during the applique process on the keys ..... you have to hold it at certain angles to truly catch it .... I'll call warranty tech support (besides, my right shift key is sticking intermittently).

Keyboard letters and numbers not working after (?) serious memory use (?)

So I've been having problems with my keyboard on my MBP 15-inch, Early 2011 (OS version 10.7.5, fully updated). It stops working after I use Photoshop or InDesign (cs6) for a long period of time or when I'm surfing the web a lot. The best example where it for sure stops working when surfing the web is when I'm on tumblr and I scroll through dozen of pages on my feed. When it stops working, the only keys that continue to work is everything but the numerals and letters.
I've taken it in, replaced the keyboard and talked to apple support and they can't figure it out. I assumed that it stops working because of all the loading images, info and memory that is in use when applcations are open but I don't know if it's because of memory.
One thing that always occurs right before the keyboard stops working is this sound from the speakers that sounds like gears turning three times or three fast ticks. Only once has the letters and numbers start working and I don't now what I did to make it come back but I heard the three ticks play again.
But my only solution to make it start again is restarting the computer.
Does anybody have this problem/know the solution to make this stop?

The only Upperfilters and Lowerfilters you were supposed to remove were the ones in 4D36E965 which is for the Optical Drive.
The other keys, for example 4D36E966 and 4D36E967 etc.. are for other devices, such as the keyboard, mouse, and possibly other devices like sound and graphics. This is not good, because its hard to manually restore those filters without knowing what was in there before you deleted them.
Did you backup the registry before deleting the keys?
You could try a System Restore to restore the registry back to a previous state. If you boot into Safe Mode (press F8 or F5 before XP boots up), you can select a previous date to restore back to.

HT4623 I down loaded ios 7 to my wifes ipad 2 but because of the streamlined look my wife can bearly see the letters and numbers on the key board because of an eyesight problem She had no problem with the old keyboard. Is there a way to make the letter

I downloaded ios 7 to my wifes ipad 2. The only problem was, with the new system the letters and numbers on the keyboard became so streamlined that my wife had trouble seeing them because of a eye problem. Is there a way to get the old keyboard back and if not how do you uninstall ios 7?

I had thought this situation was solved but it just got worse. In addition to being without service for several days I am now being charged a cancellation fee for a broadband service that BT disconnected in error. BT Vision was also terminated by BT but the set up charges are still in place. Does anyone know who the relevant Ombudsman is? I called BT from America on Friday - for an hour - while someone called Aruj sorted out why there is an order 'in progress' that I didn't initiate; why I have fees relating to a problem created by BT and why there are references to a house move that didn't take place and a BT Vision service I no longer have but didn't cancel myself. He assured me it would be rectified and my bill would be reduced by 139 pounds and we would get confirmation of this later that day. I asked him what chance there was that this would not actually happen - he said no chance at all; my new bill would be 23.50.
There was no text message. An online chat person today told me there had been a fee reduction request which had been declined and there was nothing else he could help me with as he dealt only with broadband. But he would get BT Vision to email me. They always seem so helpful.............
I'm sure I'm listed somewhere as 'a problem', there's no other explanation for why I get the runaround

TS2634 My wireless keyboard is auto filling letters and numbers what do I do to stop this?

My wireless keyboard is auto filling letters and numbers what do I do to turn it off?

Hi Pegfraser,
Does this happen only with the wireless keyboard and not the touch keyboard? And which Apps does this happen with?
In general, auto fill is a settings thing.
For Safari: Settings, Safari, AutoFill
System Wide: General, Keyboard, Auto-Correction (may seem like auto fill)
and you can setup Shortcuts in the Keyboard settings, but you would know if you'd done that.

I see where you say a newer version fixed the printing bug, but when I try to check for updates, it tells me I have the newest version. Your posts concerning the small print questions are a month old. What do I do?

Oracle jdbc driver: sort order between letters and numbers

Hello,
I am facing a very strange problem with sortering of data between letters and numbers.
I'am executing the following SQL request:
SELECT nummsg FROM CWD01 where nummsg = '00000001' or nummsg = 'AAAA0001' order by nummsg
When this request is executed with sqlplus or SQuirreL, I receive the expected result:
NUMMSG
00000001
AAAA0001
When I execute the following java code:
try {     String className = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";     Class driverObject = Class.forName(className);     Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("myurl", "user", "pass");     Statement stmt = con.createStatement();     ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(           "SELECT nummsg FROM CWD01 where nummsg = '00000001' or nummsg = 'AAAA0001' order by nummsg");     while (rs.next()) {           String x = rs.getString("nummsg");           System.out.println("nummsg " +x);     } } catch (Exception e) {     System.out.println("Failed: Driver Error: "+ e.getMessage()); }
I receive the unexpected result:
nummsg AAAA0001
nummsg 00000001
We are using the following version of Oracle:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bi
and the following jdbc driver:
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) JDBC Drivers (ojdbc14.jar (1,536,979 bytes) - classes for use with JDK 1.4 and 1.5)
Any suggestion?

I checked, I'am sure of the problem:
package test;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class Test {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               String className = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
               Class driverObject = Class.forName(className);
               Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@<server>[:<1521>]:<database_name>", "user", "password");
               Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
               ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(
                  "SELECT nummsg FROM CWD01 where nummsg = '00000001' or nummsg = 'AAAA0001' order by nummsg");
               while (rs.next()) {
                    String x = rs.getString("nummsg");
                    System.out.println("nummsg " + x);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Failed: Driver Error: " + e.getMessage());
}The table CWD01 defines the column NUMMSG as VARCHAR2(8).
The output gives:
nummsg AAAA0001
nummsg 00000001

I-phone unlock screen has very large letters and numbers.

I-phone has large letters and numbers on the unlock screen. can see only about 1/4 of the screen it's so large. can't see the slide to unlock bar, only part of the actual time. will not compress with fingers. phone recieves e-mail/phone calls but can't unlock it. tried restore twice and shutting phone off. pulled SIM card too. when it's restoring the screen is normal size as soon as it's finished it goes back to super -size.

I'm having exactly the same problem, but It doesn't do a thing when I tap it twice or even three times. It's just locked on my screen saver. I can unlock it with some difficulty, because the screen is so enlarged. But, then I just get a big screen with numbers. I've reset it multiple ways, but with no luck.

Each time I type an apostrophe on pages it comes out as a divide sign and alters any preceding italicised text into meaningless letters and numbers. How do I change this?

Does this still happen if you set your font to Lucida Grande?
Could you use the camera icon here to post a screen shot of how this looks with the meaningless letters and numbers?

Letters and numbers like on lcd-screen

hi there,
i want to do a frame, where you can see something like a lcd-display with such letters and numbers (like on many counters). how can i do this ? are there any (standard)fonts i can use, or do i have to use images therefore ?
thanks in advance,
tobias

You're probably gonna have to find a truetype font similar to what you want and then you can:
InputStream is = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().
getResourceAsStream( "com/youpackage/yourfont.TTF" );
Font f = Font.createFont( Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, is );
is.close();
Font lcdFont = f.deriveFont( 26f ); //sets the size you wantWhere com/youpackage/yourfont.TTF points to the font in your class path. Probably just stick the font in your jar file and it will find it there.
This will install the font on the users system to use in Java.

PIXMA MX522 using the keypad for letters and numbers

I need to use a password to log onto a wireless network which has letters and numbers. The letters are the easy part but how do you get the keypad on the printer to give numbers. The password is: abc261 (example only) they key pad does the "abc" part but how do I get it to add the number "261"? Your help would be appreciated. Thank you.

This might help
Press the SETUP button on your printer's control panel.
Using the arrows, select DEVICE SETTINGS, press OK.
Select LAN SETTINGS and press OK.
Select Wireless LAN Setup and press OK.
If a message appears to press the WPS button, press STOP to cancel.
Select STANDARD SETUP from the next screen that appears and press OK.
Highlight your access point or router and press OK.
Press OK again to confirm the access point name.
Enter your passphrase using the keypad to the right.
At the screen where you enter your passphrase, in the top right corner of the LCD screen you should see a :1 . This indicates that you are in numeric entry mode. If you press the asterisk key (*) it will switch to :A or uppercase letter mode, pressing asterisk again with switch to lowercase letter mode. To enter a letter in either letter mode, you will press the associated number key to cycle through the available letters. For example: To enter a letter "c", you will press the "2" key three times.
Press OK when done.
The LCD screen will say "Connected" if the password is correct.

My serial number will not work because it is letters and numbers...

My serial number will not work because it is letters and numbers but I can't type letters into the boxes on the Adobe installer.
I've tried holding shift, putting caps lock on, and leaving it lower case. It just won't let me type letters into the boxes. Is there a work around or some other solution?

You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

Try this. Open one of your files. The window that contains your picture is named at the top. Command click on the name and you'll see the entire path starting with its name and then moving to the folder, the folder it is contained in, etc all the way to down to the hard drive volume name. This should tell you where to find the folder.
