subject: How to Fix Your Keyboard Problems [print this page] Author: Molly Smith Author: Molly Smith
A keyboard is a very important input device in a computer. When you buy a computer you have to equip it with a keyboard. Though you can boot up your machine, without a keyboard you have no way to input characters and password, or change settings, etc. And it would also be damaged during using. Some of the http://www.driverchecker.com/" target="_blank" title="driver checker">common problems are: 1. "Keyboard error or not present" on start, and keyboard does not response no matter which key you press down. 2. Computer prompts on start: "Keyboard error: press F1 to continue".
3. Blank screen on start and the PC will have a sound like "tick" when you press a key.
4. Computer can not enter its operating system or only can enter its Safe Mode when connected a keyboard. 5. The keys do not strike correctly. 6. You can operate your PC normally, but when you press a key, you will hear a "tick" in this machine. 7. Black screen on start and its three lights flicker regularly. When you try to locate the keyboard problems, you should also observe the state of its three lights: "Num Lock", "Caps Lock", and "Scroll Lock". If they all flicker in the meantime, usually it indicates that probably the MCU circuit in this device is damaged; if these lights are being off all the time, may be you haven't connected your keyboard correctly or its cable is broken. Solutions: 1. Make sure the keyboard connector and its port on the motherboard have not been distorted and they are connected securely. 2. Install another good keyboard onto your computer. If the failure still continues, the connecting port on your main board may be damaged, and you need to repair it or swap a new one. But if this failure disappears, well then possibly your primary keyboard's cable is damaged and you need to replace it, or some part like a switch on the device's electric circuit is mangled so you need to repair it or buy a new one if necessary. 3. Uninstall, reinstall or update your keyboard drivers. You can download a driver tool like Driver Checker to help you manage your keyboard driver automatically. 4. If you spilled some water or liquid into this device by accident, you can take it apart and clean the water, liquid or other dirt there with some alcohol. If it does not work, buy a new one. 5. Use a USB keyboard if possible. Click here for a FREE SCAN to find what problem your keyboard has.About the Author:
