Answer» Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right section for this topic but here it goes.. Try this and report=Hold down "fn" and depress the "numlock" key good luck,truenorth 'Fn' can change 7-7 8-8 9-9 * then 6=O 5=1 4=U and L= 3 K=2 J=1 and M= 0 I fail to see the relevance. Quote from: truenorth on December 03, 2010, 03:42:48 PM Try this and report=Hold down "fn" and depress the "numlock" key good luck,truenorth If I am not mistaken, do you mean holding down "fn" and pressing the numlock one time and see if there are any changes? I tried this method but it failed. Kinda desperate now. Yes that was what i meant. I note Mulreay's comment re that and i can only say that once i too had the problem of keys misbehaving and that instance was solved by the method i stated. However obviously it does not apply to whatever is your issue. Have you tried an external USB keyboard to see if it does the same?truenorth Quote from: truenorth on December 06, 2010, 07:30:44 AM Yes that was what i meant.

An external USB keyboard does solve the problem. But the problem is, I need the laptop for portability... so I can't just bring around an external USB keyboard to use. Any suggestions?What's the brand and model of your computer? When you have the usb keyboard plugged in, is the light above the Num Lock key on? Try plugging it back in and press the Num Lock key. Make sure that the light above the Num lock key is off, then disconnect the keyboard. Quote from: JJ 3000 on December 07, 2010, 02:56:25 AM What's the brand and model of your computer? Acer Aspire 4740G. The laptop keyboard was acting funny before I plugged in the external USB keyboard. I suspect that something is WRONG with the laptop keyboard, it should have nothing to do with the external USB keyboard.Doing further research on your behalf i have come across another possible area to investigate. This is a direct quote from another Microsoft Forum. "If this is happening only in Word, then it's not due to the keyboard setting in Windows (unless you're pressing a key that switches keyboard layout). You might check your keyboard settings in Windows Control Panel to make sure that you don't have any other keyboard enabled or any shortcut key enabled for switching keyboard layouts." truenorth Quote in Windows (unless you're pressing a key that switches keyboard layout). YouI'd agree, if any of the key behaviour they were witnessing corresponded to another keyboard layout. The keyboard is either loosely connected (on the inside) or broken. This is only reinforced by the fact that an external keyboard solves the problem, which means it's not software, either. |
