As--you--can--see--by--this--question--my--spacebar--is--not--working.

 

Other--keys--that--are-malfunctioning--include--semi-colon/colon--apostrophre/quotation--delete.

 

Unaware--of--anything--that--caused--this--because--it--worked--fine--up--until--I--logged--off.

 

Have--tried--everything--that--I--could--from--uninstalling/reinstalling--driver--to--checking--for/installing--updates--but-nope--nothing.

 

One--IT--suggested--that--I--run--my--hands-back/forth--across--keyboard--a-couple--of--times--to--see--if-that--sovles--the--problem--(lol)--and--if--that--didnt--work--to--replace--keys--on--keyboard.

 

Anybody--have--any-suggestions--as--to--what--the--problem--could--be?

 

Thanks--in--advance.

Re: keyboard-malfunction

 

Appreciate--the--input--but--it--is--individual--keys--that--will--be--replaced.--Each--button--has--a--pad--underneath--and--they--wear--down,--so-Ive--been--told.

No--need--to--replace--entire--keyboard.--Thanks--for--the--suggestion--but--Ill--wait--for--feedback.

Just as a test, click Start, "All Programs", Accessories, Accessibility,

On-Screen Keyboard. See if it works correctly. If so, you can get an

external kb, or send it in to be fixed.

 

A hardware ng might be a better place to ask, btw.

Re: keyboard-malfunction

 

Thanks--Elmo

 

On-Screen--works--it--was--first--thing--I--checked.

 

I--can-replace-individual-keys--apparently.

 

I-was-told--that--pads--under--the-keys--where--down--it--would--be--cheap--to--replace--them--and--that--it--could--be--done--on--the--spot.

 

Youre--right--a--hardware--ng--is--a--good--place--to--ask.

 

Will-do--that--thanks.

Re: keyboard-malfunction

 

Excuse me. Great feedback Rachel. Please find somebody else to help.

 

Elmo, just curious, but is it possible that MS Word could have something

to do with the problem I'm having? It seems to have started there.

Re: keyboard-malfunction

 

Cool, Im sure you can understand how frustrated I am right now. I wouldnt

know a joke if it slapped me in the face. Been trying to resolve this

problem since yesterday morning. Computer problem, eat, sleep, and then back

at it again.

 

No worries.

 

Best Regards

It's not likely. But look at the LEDs that are lit to see if some

strange kb mode has been turned on, with a Fn key, combination.

Holy Sh*t, there is Elmo. I noticed it before but never thought any of it.

When I press fn and F10 or F11 the green light goes on. What do I do?
