Dell Inspiron 1011 :: Keyboard Missing Many Of Letters In Upper Case
Mar 17, 2013
My qwerty keyboard is not doing or missing many of the letters in upper case - just lower case, and the letter 'L' seems to have given up completely - it will not type neither lowercase or upper case. This problem exists in what seems to be all applications.
I've browsed the discussions and have seen problems similar to, but not exactly the same as, my problem, hence the new thread.
Problem: I have a brand new Inspiron 1545 from Dell online. When I type text in Internet Explorer (e.g. webmail applications or this forum), even at a relatively slow speed, many of the keys don't seem to register --
that is, letters or spaces whose keys I press do not show up on the screen. As a result, I must type verrry slowly to make sure that every letter/space shows up, or else go back to re-type it. Strangely, I do not have this problem when typing text in, say, Notepad .....
I have only had this latop 3 months and it is missing keys when I type. It isnt that the laptop is slow and needs to catch up, it just misses letters and I have to keep going back over the text and filling in. It gets very frustrating putting passwords in and letters and numbers miss.
all newbie nik here would love a bit of help with this please when i type certain letters on my dell vostro llaptopthey dont work nothing happens the cursor keeps flashing in the same place .....
I just found that my E6530 keyboard bends a little in the left upper corner. When i push a little bit harder the A or S or D key, the keys around move a little bit.
My keyboardd generates double letters (I'm leaving them in as I type to show what II mean). I've searched this forum for similar probleems and have already done the following:
Updated BIOS Installed/uupdated toouchpad ddriver and input ddriver Installed touchfreeeze Unchecked the keyboard driver in device manager andd restarted the computer
I've had my DV7T CTO for less then one month and the keyboard letters (on each key) are already starting to fade/rub off. This is insane! I suppose I'm going to have to do without a computer now to send this in to get it replaced instead of HP just sending me a replacement keyboard... Why do they insist on everything being sent into them? A keyboard replacement takes all of 5 minutes to do.
I have an issue with the keyboard on my new 15z. The cursor seems to have a mind of its own and jumps all over the place while I am composing emails and letters. This happens at random. What is causing this. I have tried disabling the mouse pad and using a USB mouse but the problem persists. I have tried being extremely careful not to touch the arrow keys located in the bottom right hand corner of the keyboard area but the problem continues
My keyboard randomly inserts a double letter as I'm typing. But I do not see a ffix anywhere (just did it again). I've tried changing keyboard settings, downloading updates, etc, etc. This is actually the THIRD HP Envy computer in a row to have this problem.
Just for the record, the ctrl f 11th key combination does work to restore this model to factory settings. I know because I just used it. Also, I have to say, this was the best computer ever! I used this thing HARD, everyday, hours on end. And had no hardware issues at all. Never had to replace anything. It's never let me down. I had dropped it several times in the 6 years I owned it and it kept trucking right along. I only an
m restoring it because my sister bought me a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop and a Samsung tablet for Christmas and I am going to let my son have the net book now.
My netbook Lenovo Ideapad S110 keyboard alway types uppercase letters, even if the caplock key are turning on or off. I must press Shift+Fn before press any letter key for lower-case letter. x it!
I have a inspiron 1710 It has been ok for the most part But the issue that i seem to have and bugs the heck out of me is that when i'm typing and tap the caps lock its like every thing stops and it is a few seconds then the caps lock changes to upper or lower and i have to wait for it to come back on then i can type again But i can not just tap caps and type , BUT if i have a external key board No problem.
Does anyone know if its easy to add bluetooth support to a Dell Mini 10v 1011 ? I dont really want to have an external USB stick and would prefer to just pop the back off and add an internal card ??
I'm a proud new owner of a MBP 13-inch. couple of matters.
(1) A good skin/sleeve/cover/case to protect it on the go. Ideally I'd like a very lightweight and elegant skin or shell that's on all the time to protect the exterior from wear and tear, without trapping too much heat.
(2) I need a sleek padded case to carry the unit and typical accessories (charger, adapters, mouse) and other small items.
(3) I'm looking for a convenient laptop stand for my desk to set the MBP alongside an external monitor.
I have had my Acer 8920g for 6 months now. I was running Vista 64 bit and win 7. I am now running Sabayon 4.1 and have had the same issues in each system. I can type a few sentences then look up and realize I am 1 or 2 sentences up in the paragraph typing in the middle of a word etc. Luckily I dont type alot on this computer but I need to. For example, while typing the I after luckily in the previou sentence, I look up and the I was in front of the I in the 3rd sentence. I have the touch control center to the left locked. I have emailed Acer support for a few months!with no response. I live in the US and Acer support is non exsistant here. I like Acer but if I had known about the poor support I probably would have purchased another brand.
I have a inspiron 1440 that is my daughters and I would like to change the case top to pink.Has anyone changed that cover and does anyone know where to get a Dell cover?
I recently bought a nice Targus back pack for my new laptop, but I noticed that it will not fit due to the battery sticking out the rear about an inch...does anybody know of any aluminum cases (preferred) or nice back packs that will fit this inside it?
I cleaned my xps 13 ultrabook last week with foamclene. I didn't spray it directly on to my keyboard but must have had too much on the cloth. Anyway my fn key is now typing letters from the middle row of kes, in varying combinations - jfsda, jfsd, jfs, jfa, jfk. When I noticed, I left the machine upside down to dry out for a few days but nothing changed.
I just bought an Acer aspire 4530-5627 and the onboard Nvidia Geforce 9100M G graphics card is getting quite hot. Sometimes the GPU temp gets to the mid 70s (Celsius) averaging around 67 or 68*C! According to CPUID HWMonitor the ACPI temp gets to 55*C and the Processor to 50*C. The hard drive runs on the cool side at 39*C. I bought the laptop on newegg and they do not accept returns for refunds.

I regularly find that, with a single keystroke, my brand new Dell Latitude e5540 laptop randommly produces 2 spaces (most often) and double letters (sommewhat less often than the doubled spaces, but consistently and predictably). The faster I type, the more oftenn the errors occur... I have found it to be an issue of how hard I strike the keys. The keys controlled by my dominant right hand are most often affected whereas those controlled by my pinkie fingers NEVER have been affected.
I amm only one of many employees at my place of work who all are experiencing the same problemm. I have asked repeatedly for Dell to let me know the extent of this problem and whether they have a recall of this model (which, as far as I can tell, is pervasive with this particular mmodel). My persistent questions have never been answered by Dell, despite numerous contacts with 3 different agents.
P.S. If you notice double letters where there should be single letters or extra spaces in this e-mail and this post scrippt, please read on for the reasonn: I am using the brand new Dell Latitude e5540 computer our school system recently purchased to write this e-mail. I have simmply givven up editing my typing... you're getting the spontaneous errors caused by this computer so you can see for yourself and hopefully to motivate Dell to fix the problemm soonner, rather than latter.
IMPORTANTLY, if you are having similar problems with YOUR BRAND NEW Dell Latitude e5540 laptop you specifically will NOT have tthese problems if you use an external keyboard... it only occurs with the laptop's built in keyboard) PLEASE send me your servvice tag (S/N) nummber from the bottom of your Delll LLatitude e5540 computer and I will include your commputer in my conntact with Delll about this problem. (It is a problemm of this particular model... I have never experiennced this before with any other computer).
After reinstallation of drivers on my Dell Inspiron E1705 after a reformat, im getting a yellow question mark next to network controller and video controller what are the drivers i should install?
