Dell :: Studio 1537Swap Left And Right CTRL Buttons

Feb 1, 2009

I have find myself struggling to open links in new tabs with Firefox and IE because the keyboard shortcut to perform this action is Right CTRL + Mouse Click.

Is there anyway I can swap the Left and Right CTRL assignments around in Windows?

Dell :: Broke The Left Ctrl Key On My Latitude D800

Feb 12, 2009

I think I've bent one of the metal connecting parts on the actual keyboard too, so I think I'll need to replace the whole thing and not just the key.

In either case this key is not getting back on. Do current Dell Latitudes use the same keyboard, or am I going to have a hell of a time finding a replacement?

I took the key off because the button wasn't working, and sure enough there was a big wad of dust/hair blocking it...problem is I think I was too forceful when I removed it.

Notebook is a 2003 model.

Lenovo U/S Series :: IdeaPad U530 Touch - Backlight For Left Most CTRL Key Stopped Working And Turn Off Completely

Jul 21, 2014

Before the end of 2013 I bought an Ideapad U530 Touch for school and it's been working fine up until a few days ago when the backlight for the left most CTRL key stopped working and shut off completely. Every other key on the board is fine, except for this one. Is there any easy to fix to this problem, or do I need to send the entire computer back?

Dell XPS M1330 :: Left And Right Click Touchpad Buttons No Longer Work

Mar 18, 2013

I have owned my Dell M1330 notebook PC (specs in signature below) for over 4 years.  Several weeks ago, the left and right-click touchpad buttons stopped working.  The touchpad itself seems to be operating normally.   I surmise I inadvertently deactivated the touchpad.  I checked the manual, but it did not reveal how to reactivate (or deactivate) the touchpad buttons. How to reactivate the touchpad buttons, such as using the shortcut keys?  I read one post in a PC forum of a similar situation; in that situation, the user's touchpad cable had come loose, but I understand this is a rare occurrence. How to reactivate the touchpad left and right-click buttons.

Dell :: Do All Studio XPS 16 Have Unbalanced Left And Right Speakers

Feb 14, 2009

Is there any Studio XPS 1640 users out there who gets perfectly balanced sounds from their left and right speakers?

My right speaker's volume is louder by default. Yes, I can adjust the balance using one of Windows' sound configuration screen, but it's annoying to have it reconfigured back whenever I plug a headphones.

Dell :: Studio XPS 16 Media Buttons?

Aug 21, 2009

I can still change the volume, but that little graphic that pops up when you turn it up/down is no longer there, making it hard for me to see what the volume is.

Second, and more importantly, the "eject" button no longer works. I have to manually goto the disk drive, right click, and click eject............

Dell :: Studio 15 Media Buttons

Sep 16, 2008

is there a way to get them to do the exact opposite...instead of being off and lighting up when you touch can they be lit up and then go dark when you touch?....what would be really nice is if you could make them light up when you light your keyboard up and not light up when your keyboard isnt lit....

Dell :: Studio XPS 1640 Surface Buttons

Jan 12, 2010

I recently restored my XPS to it's factory image and am in the process of removing all of the odd bits-and-ends that came packaged in the computer.

However, I am unable to remove this blue icon that pops up whenever I use the surface touch-buttons which control the volume, and a similar icon pops up whenever I use the wireless networking on/off button.

A picture of what I'm talking about can be found at: http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/7...mapimagemx.png .....

Dell :: Studio 15 Touchpad/Buttons/Media

Jun 25, 2009

I've had my Dell Studio 15 (1535) for nearly a year now, problem free. But last night, my touchpad moving extremely choppy,

and my CPU/RAM meters (on Vista) were at nearly 50%, sometimes even spiking higher; I've never seen them that high before.

Here's what was going on when it happened. I was using Facebook Chat, which I don't believe was the problem, but what I believe started it was when i tried to turn up the volume using the touch sensitive media keys at the top, and hit play on iTunes. When i went to turn the volume up,

it froze for about 30 seconds, and then turned the volume all the way up, and now none of my media keys work, my keyboard barely works, and my touchpad/mouse buttons don't work at all!

Dell :: Studio 1535 Very Hot Charger, Hdd, Left Palm Rest

Jul 2, 2009

I used my Studio 1535 without problem about 4-5 months and temperatures were fine. But from some time I have very strange problem. First my charger became relatively very hot, my mother consider it as very hot as well.

After my hard disk becomes hot 39-40 C, and now I guess as result from fan system and HDD high temperature, my left palm rest (typically warm on most notebooks) is hot too.

Dell :: Studio 1558 Left Touch Pad Button Not Working?

Jan 31, 2015

I have a dell Studio 1558 laptop. I'm extremely careful not to have liquids anywhere near my keyboard.  However I was drinking tea and felt I was far enough back that liquids should not even reach the laptop. I was probably about a foot back. Well one of my cats nudged my arm and hit it with enough force that a few drops hit the touch pad.  I cleaned it up.  This morning I turn my laptop on and now my left touch pad button does not work. I figured that I probably needed to clean it. So I pried the button off gently.  And used a little rubbing alcohol on a q-tip and cleaned it off. When I pried it up it didn't look really dirty at all. There was no residue on the inside that I could see.  I put the button back on, and it still doesn't work.  So now I'm wondering if enough got inside to actually cause damage or if it's just coincidental that the button stopped working at the same time?  I used it all the time for copying stuff and scrolling. I can use all the other buttons and scroll without using it.

Should the cleaning underneath have cured it if it was the liquid? If the liquid got past the underneath of the key itself then it should have affected the whole key pad not just one key, right?

Dell :: Studio 1535 Media Buttons, Staying Lit?

Mar 25, 2009

This is a pretty nice glitch, even if it is completely accidental.

So I was powering on my laptop just a few minutes ago, and during boot, the progress bar was going slower than usual and stopped at one point, about 3/4 of the way through. So, I wondered what was going on, and tapped the media buttons to see if the whole thing was locked up, and they all lit up.

However, they never actually turned off. Now, I'm booted into Windows and everything's working normally, but the buttons are still lit! And the best part is, they function like normal when pressed!

I wish there were a way to set this up to work like that all the time...the buttons are impossible to see in the dark.

Here's a pic. Sorry for the cell phone camera quality, but you can still see that all the buttons are lit up, along with the Wifi light on the far right:



So, does anyone know of a way I can get it to do this every time without an unusually slow boot?

Dell :: Studio 15Volume Buttons Blinking For No Reason

Oct 16, 2008

I just got a brand new Studio 15 laptop a couple of days ago. So far, I love it, but there's one really odd thing. All day, the mute and volume up buttons have been blinking, and the volume down button has just stayed lit. There does not appear to be any reason for them to be doing this. Also, it's not affecting the buttons' performance. Does anybody have a theory as to why it's doing this? And is there any way to make it stop?

Dell :: Studio XPS 1647 Media Buttons Not Lighting Up Or Working

Jan 28, 2014

The touch sensitive media buttons above the keyboard on my Studio XPS 1647 stopped working the other day. When I tried to turn my laptop back on the computer beeped a few times and the screen flashed a few solid colors and then went black. I had to turn the laptop off and on again and it booted as normal except the media buttons stopped working. They do not light up or respond to touch.

I have restarted the laptop, updated the Dell QuickSet drivers and the BIOS and nothing has fixed it. According to this post the media buttons need to be replaced. How can I do that and where can I buy the parts needed?

Dell Studio 1537 :: Media Buttons And Touchpad Scroll Not Functioning?

Sep 7, 2014

I have the Dell Studio 1537 and I have two issues :

1. Since I bought the laptop, the media (light) buttons aren't functioning properly. The media player-button isn't working at all, and after I upgraded to Windows 8.1 only the Eject-button does work. Earlier I tried some Registry tweaks, but they did not do the job..

2. The scroll line on the touch pad doesn't work, even when the driver for it is installed properly. How I can bring it to usefulness again?

Acer :: Change CTRL To FN, Possible

On my 1810TZ I have to use 2 hands to change brightness as FN is on opposite side of the keyboard.

If the right hand CTRL can be used as FN this would be a much better 1 hand action.

Jan 14, 2008

last night, I got on my desktop momentaily. Closed the laptop lid(laptop is still on) and placed the keyboard on top of the laptop so I can open the Linux gFTP program, connect to my sites FTP and run a full backup before I went to bed. No problem.

Slept about 8 hours, woke up. Opened the laptop LID to check email and forums, and I'm greeted with a BSOD. Great. Laptop is extremely warm too. So I soft shut down (holding the power button down) and the computer reboots itself.

Well, it takes a little while for the PC to boot, then I'm greeted with a.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T440 Fn Ctrl Reverting After Sleep Mode

Feb 27, 2014

I have a T440, and I've set in BIOS to swap places for fn and ctrl. This works great until the machine goes to sleep or similar. After awakening the machine the keys are back to their original setting, with fn being fn, and ctrl being ctrl.
 
I havent explored this in detail but just found the machine sporadically losing the setting, but never while I'm working on it. So either from sleep or from locked screen.
 
I always use FnLk as well and that is also lost when this happens. I have to restart to get back the setting for fn-ctrl swap, but FnLk i can just enable,
 
I run Windows 8.1 on my T440.
