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 numeric keypad or cursor
control light is on, press

Fn

and

F10

simultaneously to turn off

the cursor control light or press

Fn

and

F11

simultaneously to

turn off the numeric keypad 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’s 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.

If you have a second keyboard, try it. If it works, the first
keyboard may be defective or incompatible with your
computer.
