My friend spilled a beer on her lap top key board last night. Now some of the keys don't work. A shop says the key board has to be replaced at $160 parts/labor. Is it possible to remove the keys and clean the contacts myself?

Quote: It�s been rumored that Intel would offer a liquid-cooling solution instead of a stock cooler with its new Sandy Bridge-E �extreme� processors, and multiple enthusiast sites have indeed snapped photos of the new cooler on the IDF exhibition floor.
From the photos, we can determine that the RTS2011LC cooler has been created in conjunction with Asetek, which had previously announced it was working on a Sandy Bridge-E liquid-cooling solution. According to Legit Reviews, Intel reps said it�s similar to the Corsair Hydro H70 kit that Asetek designed, but that parts were updated, including a 120mm fan. The fan even includes blue LED lights. While designed with the LGA2011 socket, it will also work with Intel�s 1155, 1156, and 1366 sockets. Source
Quote: The X79 Express chipset is the successor to the X58 and will be paired to Intel�s upcoming LGA2011 socket for next-gen processors. The motherboard seen here is the Intel DX79SI, obviously based on the chipset. As its name suggest, the RTS2011LC liquid-cooling solution is also designed for said socket.

I accidentally spilled wine on it and the keyboard no longer worked.I purchased a Microsoft wired desktop 600, but it has no function keys. On the original keyboard I used Fn E12 to connect to a network, but with the new keyboard I can no longer connect to a network. There must be a workaround?

I need to get into setup using f10 or esc to change the boot sequence. By the time my keyboard is operable Win 7 is running.
So I just installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on my Sony Vaio VGN-FZ240E Laptop. Everything installed okay and worked just fine until I restarted it for the first time to update my touchpad drivers. After I restarted, my keyboard would not function and Sony provides no drivers for it on their website. Sony also makes it clear that they do not support a Windows 7 upgrade on my model(which is slightly ridiculous, but whatever...).
It's an Intel Core 2 duo, so I know it's 64-bit capable and everything WAS working the first time I installed it. I have no clue what to do, but my laptop keyboard is slightly useless, which poses a big problem, lol. If there is anyone out there with advice, I would greatly appreciate it!
What Keyboard do you like to use, do you have a favourite ?, I use a Logitech G15 on my main Computer and a Chicony KU 0418 on my second Computer, i use these two Computers the most and all in all i prefer the G15, so what do you use ?

My laptop seems to have problems with most USB devices. It is running Win 7 professional 64 bit. Firstly it will only take a HP external keyboard. I have tried a Microsoft KB and a Kensington KB and neither would work. A standard mouse will work OK. Then I tried to use a Plantronic BUA200 BT dongle. Had one working after about 2 days of fiddling, then got a new one and it sits with a yellow triangle saying it needs a driver, but can't find any. The odd thing is the dongle will still pair with the headset. So I bought a USB headset today and gets the same thing. Windows tries to install it, but says it fails to find the drivers. Have run Windows update twice recently, so that is all up to date. USB flash drives seem to be OK.

Cancel the upgrade, open Control Panel and search for "update device drivers", or go to the device manufacturer's website to search for updated drivers." Keyboard Filter And

I'm afraid to continue the upgrade because I don't know what's going to happen or how it's going to affect the programs and devices. Should I just go ahead and uninstall everything listed in the second message? And how do I update the driver for the Keyboard Filter? I don't really know what I'm doing.
i have installed 7100 on two machine... one is Dell XPS, one is sotec... These are Japanese machine, so i have japanese keyboard.
On dell machine, i can use the keyboard as it is, i mean, the keyboard layout is japanese layout... (ie:the @ symbol is not on top of no 2.)..
but i cannot make the same on sotec machine, eventough i have set the same setting as the other machine. When i choose the Japanese keyboard layout, and click preview, it show the normal US layout.
How can i make this japanese layout to work?
I have been wondering about this one since the first beta. In your default docs link is (well if your running it in "display as menu") a notes sub dir. There are a lot of cool little apps here. Journal , reminder,to do etc. I'm sure you all know this. What I have never been able to find is a way to switch these out of pen mode. Don't have touchpad, do not plan on getting one. Hate them. However these are utilitys I would like to utilize. Is this jus t for pen/touch screens? Is their @ least a reg hack?
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have a Compaq 615 running Windows 7. Recently, I have heard a beeping sound that isnt too disimiliar to the BIOS beeps on start up. However, this can be heard when the OS is running.
There is no set pattern to the beeps. It can occasionally be 2-3 beeps very close together but is mostly just one beep. It is starting to worry me a little.
Here are a list of things I've done to try and resolve already:
Remove an USB devices that have been plugged in Clean the keyboard with compressed air incase this was caused by a stuck key Ran system check Cleaned up the C-Drive Ran a HDD check from booting up Checked eventvwr
I had this issue with the Windows 7 beta and the RC. and with both i ended up just going back to vista hoping it would be figured out by RTM. The issue i have is.....
I can be typing anything really and all the sudden the cursor will just move somewhere within the sentence i am typing in. It gets very annoying and i cannot figure out why its doing that or how to fix it.
If it makes any difference i have a dell m1530 laptop. and NO my palm isint hitting the mouse pad and causing it to move.
I've spent countless hours looking for solutions on google and i can't fix it.My HTPC can go in S3 standby mode successfully. BUT the only way to wake my computer is to press the power button. When i wake it up, it starts where it was before so S3 mode is working. Problem is just waking it up.The weirdest thing is that it USED to work. Around 2 months ago i was waking up my computer with my keyboard and it worked. But i stopped to use this feature, and now that i need it, it isn't working anymore.
Oh, also wake-on-LAN isn't working neither. And it also used to be working 2 months ago. I really don't know what happenned.Here's a couple of screenshots. Sorry my windows is in french, but i'll translate the text for you:

I run Win 7 and added Dutch so now a lot is in dutch (help excluded).
Allas the keyboard is changed to dutch.
Tried to remove that keyboard, no luck.
How do I tell Win Seven that my default keyboard is USA international.
In Region it is the first keyboard, but if for instance I go to CMD, it is changed to Dutch. I can ofcourse klik on the keyboard icon and set it back to USA.
But I would like Windows Seven to forget the dutch keyboard, I do not have one.
I installed Windows 7 last week. Ever since I am having issues of the calendar/clock window opening, the page randomly scrolling down, a window minimizing or the cursor disappearing whenever I am typing. It happens when I am typing in a search on the internet, typing in my blog, writing an email, commenting on FB or IMing a friend. It has happened several times during typing this post. It is really annoying me.
It is obviously some kind of short cut issue but I am not typing any of the known shortcuts while I am trying to do anything I mentioned above. The one shortcut I have identified as causing problems is the space bar. Pressing the space bar caused my browser (or Word doc or whatever) scroll to the bottom. I really just want to put a space in NOT scroll. Is anyone else having this problem? How can I fix it. I can barely type a sentence without something happening that shouldn't.
My pc has been working very well. While I was sleeping yesterday there was a thunderstorm. The pc first appeared ok, but upon typing a bad problem became apparent. The Logitech usb keyboard was producing extra characters. I thought the keyboard had been damaged by the storm so I powered down and rebooted with a HP ps2 keyboard in place of the Logitech usb keyboard.The HP keyboard also produces double characters, but the corrupt keys are different keys than the corrupt keys on the Logitech keyboard. [code] I see a pattern here in that the letters all relate exactly to the row below and then the row above.Also, I use the GOM player for video files. The spacebar is PAUSE, but it is also opening up some shortcut in the GOM player.This keyboard - the HP pci wasn't pluuged into anything during the storm. I have gone into Regions and Settings to verify all is standard U.S.. I also went back 3 days and did a System Restore to see if it would help, it didn't.Do you know how I might stop this corrupt double character problem? If I only need a new keyboard, great, but since it is malfunctioning with 2 different keyboards that doesn't seem likely to me.

View 9 Replies View RelatedA few days ago my keyboard stopped working. I believe I was uninstalling VMWare, which did not complete (but I don't know if that has any effect on it). I obviously tried the batteries, different keyboards to make sure it wasn't something simple. I tried plugging in to different USB ports (which all recognize the keyboard and installs the drivers) but it simply does not recognize the characters that I type. I have a several different keyboards that I have tried and I can not get them to work on the computer. The mouse works fine, and the volume and calculator key's work, along with the function keys. Everything else on the keyboard does not work. I have uninstalled all the hubs, re-installed driver's, which show the keyboard is installed (with no ! or error). I have ran out of options to consider, I am about to delete all the registry keys regarding the keyboards. I have been using the onscreen keyboard to login.I have both Logitech and Microsoft keyboards and installed and uninstalled Setpoint, Intellitype.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWell as I say it can't work. I'm currently using an USB connected keyboard and mouse(The only thing that goes on my nerves is that my keyboard and mouse use battery!)It's ok for mouse, he can hold up to month, but keyboard can't! And my old cable keyboard simply doesn't work. I've tried to plug and unplug it few times. First when OS is down and then. I started my comp and i saw no green lights on old one. I thought it was wrong ps/2 but not. Is it possible that she's broken...or that my new motherboard's ps/2 is broken.
