I would like the keyboard light to stay on - or always come on when I begin to hit the keys...

some rhythms have only accompaniment in it. This is not a malfunction I think. And What about this ? This is my problem with casio ctk 7000.. Can you try on the keyboard ? : Hello. I bought a Casio keyboard CTK 7000 two months ago. Firstly I did not notice the problem. But a few days ago I perceived this malfunction; Sometimes when I hit the "INTRO" button during any default (Not user) rhyhms and accompaniment plays, the playing chord is jumping to C chord. For example; When the accompanimet is playing Am chord and I push the "INTRO" button, the keyboard changes the "Am" chord to "C" chord automatically. It always happens when I hit the INTRO button at the just beginning of the measure but not at the middle of the measure. Its troublesome for me, specially during live performance. Can you help and give information about this problem? Thank you very much already now.

You have to Press and Hold the FN function key at the lower left portion of your keyboard then hit the volume or brightness keys. Notice that the volume and brightness keys are the same color as the FN function key. That means you have to press and hold the FN key while you hit the volume or brightness key.

you probably want to try to clean out your keyboard.

Are the keys below the number keys in this order QWERTYUIOP
The A key should be below the Q key.
If not then someone have swapped the Q and A keys around. This is a favourite joke by some people.

it is primarily used to return the cursor to the beginning of the line where the cursor is located. When the text is not editable, the home key is used to return to the beginning of the document; this can also be done in editable text if the key is pressed along with control.
The home key can also be used to highlight all the characters before the cursor in a certain line if pressed along with shift in editable text.

The home key will take you to the beginning of the line you are on - try it, type a bunch of stuff then hit the Home key and you will be brought to the beginning of the line. If you are in a multi-line document, hitting CTRL+Home will bring you to the start of the entire document.

Similarly, the end key will take you to the end of the line while CTRL+end will take you to the end of the document

Hope this helps. Please rate my response.
Thanks.
Have a good day

my keyboard is way too sensiticve. when ltyping if i don't hit my key dead center and just a small lportion of my finger touches a key arouind it, that key is also typed. I am a good typist, but when not looking at keyboard and going too fast I don't always hit jmy key dead cwenter. i would like a keyboard like an old typewriter. do they sell less sensitive keyboards ???

Either you are pressing the HOME key on the keyboard - it should fall somewhere under your right ring and little fingers - or the HOME key is defective, i.e., stays half-way pressed. Check it if it "feels" different. If it does, Dell keys may be removed by GENTLY lifting them with a fingernail from the bottom and twisting them upwards. Ensure there's no grit, dust, or hair under the key, and verify that the little pod below the key feels right (if it doesn't, the keyboard will have to be replaced. You can find instructions on Dell support site, and a brand new 1525 keyboard should set you back around US$ 15 on eBay). To put the key back in place, position it where it should stay and push it down firmly, first on the top then on the bottom, until it clicks.

If your problem is typing on the HOME key by mistake (or maybe the Ctrl-H key or some other, depending on your word processing software), maybe you can have benefit from one of the many freeware programs known as "keyboard remappers". Just remap the HOME key to something harmless (e.g. shift) when starting the word processing session and remap it back once you're finished.

I think ya need a new keyboard, that is NOT normal.. & KB's either work right or replace

Try and take off the keys and clear the gunk from underneath the keys. If this doesn't work, a new keyboard will be pennies.

Depending on your keyboard it could be scroll lock, caps lock, or num lock is on. You can turn them off by depressing the appropriate keys on your keyboard until you find the one that turns the light off. Hope this helps.
