Re: keyboard problem- spacebar doesn't work properly + much more

Can't hit the space bar b/c the screen zooms in instead of giving me space in the text  - Can't use space bar at all Can't use the letter T either. Various other buttons don't work either (I actually had to cut & paste the spaces and letter "t " into this post!)

 

Please help!!

Re: keyboard problem- spacebar doesn't work properly + much more

And now that  have full use of my keyboard, let me explain more.. This problem happens randomly, usually when the computer has been on for more than an hour and generally I will have put it to sleep and I discover this problem when I resume my windows session (I'm running vista). Wihtout NumLock on the 9 letters on the right side of the keyboard act as their corresponding numbers, th spacebar causes the screen to zoom in as if I was holding in the blue Fn key, and none of the arrow keys on the bottom or home keys on the top right will work. I have no idea how this resolves itself, I generally just restart it and leave it alone for several hours (note that restarting alone will not help).

 

If anyone has any ideas as to how to correct this problem, I am open to suggestions. The only thing I can't do is wipe my drive b/c I have a program for the Bar Exam in July that I cannot re-register so if I delete it, I'm S.O.L.

 

Thanks!!

Re: keyboard problem- spacebar doesn't work properly + much more

Hi danacas1,


Have you tried updating the BIOS? if this doesn't help then I think the keyboard would need to be replaced, if there is warranty on your machine then contact lenovo to send you a replacement keyboard.


Hope it helps.
