Solve : Keyboard Problem.? |
|
Answer» This is my first post; don't know if I'm on the right board. first tell about laptop ? I don't see how this would work if the keys do work when FN is held down...It's a Patriot 2000 with Windows XP Home. He brought it to me YESTERDAY, it was blue screening. I tried to restore it with the restore disks that came with the laptop, without any luck. I then installed Win XP Pro. I think the problem with the keys was there before installed XP Pro, because when I entered the BIOS to change the boot order to the cd-rom drive, I couldn't scroll down the menu options with the down arrow key, until I pressed down the FN key. I just plugged in a PS2 keyboard, the B, N and Arrow keys all work fine with it, but STILL not on the laptop.Hmmmm....Not sure what the problem may be.... If you go to Device Manager, are there are any Yellow Question or Exclamation Marks?There's no problem in the device manager. I noticed that if I hold down any other key on the keyboard the problem keys work. I have never seen anything like this before.It sounds like a problem with the keyboard itself. How old is this laptop?Its about 7 years old.Hmmm.....Then warranty is out of the question. It's possible the keyboard on your laptop is damaged or its cable is loose. Try this though: Download, and install Everest: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html Open it, click Computer, then Summary. In upper menu, go Report>Quick Report-Summary Save it in text file, and paste it in your next post. Don't include anything under line Debug - PCI |
