Keyboard problems
If, when you type, strange things happen or nothing happens,
the problem may be related to the keyboard itself.
The keyboard produces unexpected characters.
A keypad overlay may be on. If the numlock light or cursor
control mode is on, press
Fn and F10 simultaneously to turn off
the cursor control mode or
Fn and F11 simultaneously to turn
off the numlock light.
If the problem occurs when both the keypad overlays are off,
make sure the software you are using is not remapping the
keyboard. Refer to the software documentation and check
that the program does not assign different meanings to any of
the keys.
You have connected an external keyboard and the
operating system displays one or more keyboard error
messages.
The keyboard you connected may be defective or
incompatible with the computer. Try using a different make
of keyboard.
Nothing happens when you press the keys on the
external keyboard.
You may have plugged the external keyboard in while the
computer was turned on. Click Start, Shut Down or Turn off
computer, and Restart the computer using the TouchPad on
the internal keyboard. The computer will restart and
recognize the device.
