Welcome to the forums. Please start a new thread with your questions instead of posting in an ages old thread..

btw, you can ask the manufacturer and they will change the key for you...

Different Keyboard Problem

My Toshiba Satellite has a different keyboard problem... whenever I press the <t> or <i> keys a "ti" is actually typed. This also happens when several other keys are pressed, such as <g> and <,>.

Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on what's going on or how to fix it?

Thanks.

This is a very good site put up by a fellow devhardware member. It contains guides for opening up Toshiba laptops and replacing its parts and doesn't cost a penny.

Thought it might be helpful..

Laptop keyboard issues

Hello folks,
To add to the problems, while I am typing, my keyboard will miss a letter here and there. I usually have to backspace and retype what I missed. Let me show you..."To add to the problems, wile I am typing, my keyboard will missa letter her and there. I usually have to backspace nd retype whatI missed." In this case it even missed the spacebar. I'm not sure if it has to do with the keyboard or memory. I haven't spilled anything in the keyboard. And the laptop (Acer Travelmate 4500) is just a year old. Realtime - I've had ther laptops longer than this and never had a problem with the keyboard. Can someone help me? (ther laptops was actually typed "other laptops"). USB external keyboard works fine.

There's no BIOS option for it, and I can't get inside the thing (as much as I hesitate to do so) because of stripped screws.

So. Has anyone encountered this problem before, and do they have any suggestions? I went to the manufacturer, and they passed me off onto their non-english speaking site. I have a lovely laptop that works perfectly except for the fact that I can't enter any information into it.

Packard Bell keyboard weird happening

Hi all,

Please can someone help??

I recently remotely connected to a friends Packard Bell laptop to help with a situation and since then some of her keys have been all funny. when she type o she gets a 6, i=5, u=4, l=3 and so on on a few more letters. Is there a known reason for this to happen? I have read that plugging in a desktop keyboard hitting the number lock and unplugging it can sort it bit i am miles away from my friend and she does not really understand what i am trying to say.

Any help offered on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Paul

Hi,

Ensure that she is running the correct language (presumably English) under Control Panel -> Regional and language settings.

Laptop Keyboard

Yes all the regional settings are fine, I read that connecting a desktop keyboard to it b4 boot and when booted hitting number lock could sort it out but there is also a surposed key combination that can be pressed to get it back to normal.

Sounds like a key mapping problem. Even international keyboards don't have numbers in letter positions.

ya but most lappies have the keypad into the letter and can be accessed by using the fn key and the letter. At least all the lappies I've seen have that
