Zxc and command key not working on apple keyboard

Does it happen with another KB?
If only this KB then the is either dirty or faulty. Maybe this will help

  • Volume and brightness keys not working with new keyboard on imac

    I just purchased a new wired keyboard for imac and brightness and volume control keys not working . i have tried adjusting keyboard settings. I have software version 10.5.8. Do I need to upgrade software. Thank you for any help.

    Do you have "Automatically Adjust Brightness" check box ticked in System Preferences > Displays > Display ? If so, you can't manually adjust brightness.

  • Various keys not working on apple keyboard in 64-bit windows 7

    Has anyone ran into an issue with the 64-bit version of windows 7 where the "=" on the numeric keypad of the apple usb keyboard stops working?
    I have tested it in OSX and the key still works, and it also even works in the 32-bit version of windows 7. The only thing that stupid "=" key doesn't work on is 64-bit windows 7.
    Any ideas to resolve this issue?

    I've tried several different versions of the On Screen Display from the Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 7, including 6.60.03, 6.60.01, 6.60.03, 6.42.00, 6.24.00. And every time, it's the same thing. Everyhting works but the brightness control OSD.
    What else can I try?

  • '{' Key not working with Apple Keyboard in Windows & Visual Studio

    Good morning,
    I've been bugged by this forever now and tried it with Windows XP, Vista and 7 now on my macPro & (the latest version of) Bootcamp: I can type the { and } brackets just fine in most windows apps (e.g. start > run etc), but in visual studio, for some reason the 'ctrl + alt + 7' (for the '{') does result in the whole line being commented with // instead of the expected opening '{'. 'ctrl + alt + 0' ('}') does however work just fine.
    Now I am really not sure why this is happening, but it's the same for VS2008 and the VS2010 beta and developing in C# without a proper '{' combo is somewhat.. difficult
    Has anyone ever come across the same behavior and knows what to do?
    Cheers and thanks,
    -J

  • Satellite L300 - 'W' and 'F' Keys not working - can't log

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300.
    My 'F' and 'w' keys arent working, and because I have a Built-in HDD user password of which contains those letters, I can not start up my computer.
    I had a 'startup' problem a couple of months back, and what I had to do was restore my laptop to a previous date. I did this through Boot management during startup. The only thing is I cant remember how to do it now.
    I cant find any restoration disks that may have come with my laptop- so the only way I can do it is through boot management.
    So, how do you do a system restore? or is there another way of fixing this problem?.
    Please help!! :)

    Hello
    If W and F key dont work I would recommend replacing the keyboard or use an external one. In my opinion its the best choice because you also need the keys for typing letters or emails
    You can get a new keyboard from an authorized service provider in your country.
    > I cant find any restoration disks that may have come with my laptop
    I think you should read the user manual because you have to create this disk yourself ;)

  • "backspace," "g" and "h" key not working

    Hello,
    Suddenly the "backspace," "g" and "h" keys stopped working. Due to this issue, I can't log in to use my computer. 
    Please, help.
    I have a Pavilion g7-1260 us Notebook PC, Windows 7.
    Please help becasue I can't use my laptop at all.
    Thanks,
    Carlos-Manuel

    Hi Carlos,
    Well, to get logged in (assuming your PC is at least booting up to the Windows Logon screen), you can try to use the On-Screen Keyboard, just click on the Ease of Access button (should be on the lower left hand side of the logon screen) and put a check mark in the box next to "Type without the keyboard" and select OK.  This should bring up the On-Screen Keyboard and allow you to enter your user name and password.  Note that I'm assuming here that you couldn't get logged on because either your user name or password or both uses one of the keys that isn't working.
    Alternatively you can also just connect an external USB keyboard, like what you might use with a Desktop PC.
    That should at least allow you to use your computer somewhat.
    To test your keyboard, reboot the computer and press F2 to access the UEFI diagnostics.  You can find the full procudure in this document:
    Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista)
    If you don't have the lastest UEFI diagnostics installed on your PC, you can get the download here for your model PC:
    HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Support Environment
    There is a keyboard test under system tests, it may take a while to get through the test procedure, but it will verify if the keyboard hardware is functional or not.
    If the keyboard test all pass, but you still have problems with some keys on the keyboard, check that the keyboard language has not been changed.  Go to Start --> Control Panel, choose "Change Keyboards or other input methods", then click the Change Keyboards button.  Based on your model, you should have the English (United States) - US option selected.  If some other keyboard is selected, that can cause some weirdness with your keyboard.
    Good Luck!

  • HP G62-348CA number keys and arrow keys not working

    Good day Experts! Can someone help me fix my laptop? I got G62-348CA unit. only number 5 and 6 in my number keys are working and also arrow keys down and right are not functioning. at first it was built with windows 7 home premium 64bit but then i have to reformat my laptop with windows 7 ultimate but i dont have available 64bit so i install 32bit of the OS. before i install the OS, number keys and arrow keys are working fine but after I reformat my laptop with ultimate 32bit, the said keys are not working. please guys help me. im having trouble with my unit and i dont know what to do. its pretty bad i dont have any idea. all the best with you guys and i'm hoping for your fast and kind response. thank you!

    Because the operating system does not affect the keyboard in that way . .. If the operating system has issues it would switch keys or assign wrong characters.
    I have replaced over 200 keyboards because of such issues

  • Command-delete, command-left and command-right not working as expected

    On a Mac (in my case OS X 10.6.8) when entering text into a text-field or text-box 'command-delete' in any other application deletes everything between the cursor and the beginning of the current line. I'm using Firefox 10.0.1 and this does not work.
    Also, in certain rich text editors such as Gmail's compose mail text-box 'command-left' and 'command-right' which would usually jump to the respective beginning or end of the current line doesn't seem to work.

  • Option and Command Key Swapped on Built-in Keyboard

    My option and command keys are swapped on the built in keyboard. They work fine with a external USB keyboard. I have checked that the keyboard & mouse > modifier keys preference and they aren't remapped in there. In fact, changing the mapping in there has no affect on the command and option keys.
    Any suggestions? Is there a plist file that I can trash?
    Thanks

    I was finally able to fix this by plugging in my non-Apple external keyboard. Once I did this, a drop down menu appeared in the modifier keys window that let me select the internal MacBook keyboard and fix the mapping issue.

  • Some Keys not working on the keyboard

    Specifically the "T" and "5" keys refuse to work.
    Have tried a reboot, logout, no luck.
    Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo "Mermon" 2.33 Ghz 3GB Ram ....
    Anyone else with this problem, or solutions?
    Thanks
    -Robert

    I have spent 20 minutes loging on in order to complain about my MacBook Pro underLeopard.
    1 the keypad is capricious. It changes the location of the cursor when I use certain keys, especially capitals. This happens all the time in Mail and Gmail.
    2 the trackpad is UNUSEABLE when connected to a projector. This happen often and i have to reboot to recover. A mouse works however.
    That is about all not much but these probelms did not exist on the old model. The eradict trackpad is annoying and the keyborad not working are both exteemely annoying.

  • Using shift key not working with bluetooth keyboard

    Am I missing something here? Or does the shift key not work with the iphone using a bluetooth keyboard?  I'm using the logitech K810 for reference on iphone 6 iOS 8.1

    The shift key works just fine on my Bluetooth keyboard.  So I would imagine this is an issue with your keyboard.

  • Command key not working and clacking when touched

    My left command key just stopped working. When I press the key, even just barely tap it, it makes a faint "clack" sound- (especially on the edges of the key). It is only the left command key and does not work for ANY function. Any ideas as to what could be wrong???

    Are you sure you are using Command+C and Command+V.
    Works fine on my MBP Lion 10.7.2 in all applications.
    You could also try using the Space bar and the Shift and Enter/Return keys when asking a question.

  • New Apple Keyboard - Dashboard and Exposé Keys not working

    I have the new Apple Keyboard connected to my PowerMac G5 and i have installed the lasted Keyboard Software Update (1.1) from the Apple website. All new function keys are working (the media keys, brightness, etc.) except for the dashboard and exposé keys. I cannot get them to work, not even asign them in the preferences. Anyone else have this problem? Solutions?

    I bought the new aluminum keyboard the other day, but didn't notice there was a software update required. Last night a keyboard software package appeared in Software Update, so I downloaded and installed it. Now virtually nothing works in the function keys except brightness and volume. No dashboard where it's supposed to be, no Exposé, and worryingly no F12 Preview In Browser, which I use a lot for Dreamweaver and web design. Dashboard now appears in F13.
    I then went and downloaded the 1.1 Update I should have done in the first place, but this has changed nothing. And yes, I think the PowerPC users are being forgotten when this new stuff is made. But...just how many million of us are there?
