My keyboard was working fine and all of a sudden it has started repeating the keys, not responding at all. One minute it is fine, the next it starts doing it all over again. I have put new batteries in, shut the computer down, checked to see if the drivers needed update, but the system says they are updated. Please help

Please open Device Manager and uninstall what is showing under "Keyboards". If you're unsure on how to perform these steps, follow this link:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03540049&lc=en&product=5450010&tmp...
Once you have uninstalled the keyboard driver, restart your notebook and it should automatically reinstall for you.
Let me know if this resolves the issue.

If the keyboard is not working in Windows, continue with these steps to uninstall and reinstall the keyboard software in Device Manager.

Click Start , then click Control Panel.
Control Panel opens.

Click Hardware and Sound.

Click Device Manager under Devices and Printers.

Device Manager opens.

Click View, and select Show Hidden Devices.

Double-click Keyboards, right-click the keyboard name, and then click the Uninstall button to remove the device from Windows.

Restart the computer.

The keyboard should now work correctly.

Your computer comes with several software programs that can test the keyboard for key or hardware failures. For more information, see the HP Support document Testing for Hardware Failures.

Notebook key presses are slow to respond
If there is a short delay from the time a key is pressed to the time the character displays on the screen, the Filter Keys function might be activated. The Filter Keys function provides a greater range of key press options to fine-tune key delays and prevent inadvertent key presses. To disable Filter Keys and return to the default keyboard behavior, use the following steps:

1. Click Start , and type keyboard in the Search box. Then select Change how your keyboard works under Control Panel.
2. Remove the selection from Turn on Filter Keys. Then click Set up Filter Keys.
   
3. Remove the check next to Turn on Filter Keys when SHIFT is pressed for eight seconds.
   
4. Click Apply, click OK, and then close the Ease of Access Center.

1. Click Start , and type keyboard in the Search box. Then click Change how your keyboard works under Control Panel.
2. If selected, remove the check next to Turn on Sticky Keys. Then click Set up Sticky keys.

4. Click Apply, and then click OK to return to the Make the keyboard easier to use page.

   If selected, remove the selection from Turn on Toggle Keys by holding down the NUM LOCK key for five seconds.
   
6. Click Apply, click OK, and then close the Ease of Access Center.
   The beeps no longer sound.

1. Click Start , and type region into the Search field. Click Region and Language from the search results.
2. Click the Keyboards and Languages tab, and then click Change Keyboards.
   
   The Text Services and Input Languages page opens.

4. Select the keyboard you want to use, and click OK.
   
5. From the Text Services and Input Languages page, select the new keyboard in the list and click Move up until it is first in the list. This makes it the default keyboard.
   
6. Click OK. You can now use the new keyboard.
   If you find that the new keyboard service works correctly and you do not want to use the other keyboard, repeat these steps and Remove the keyboard service that you do not need.

Leave key in ignition and turn to ON (do not start) Leave in on position for exactly 10 minutes. After 10 minutes is up and your anti-theft light is off, then immediately start the car.
Sometimes the key also need to be reprogrammed for the car.
insert the key and turn the key to "on". The DIC will say "Remove Key, Starting Disabled", and the security light will remain on.

approx. 10 minutes later. Remove the key. wait 10 seconds and repeat this another two times, for a total of 30 minutes "key-in" time.

Now insert your key and start the engine.

To learn additional keys:
Start the engine up with a working key. Shut the engine off, and within 10 seconds, insert the next key you want to learn and turn it to "ON". When the security light goes out, that key is programmed. Repeat for the next key, up to 10 keys can be programmed per car.

Hmm, sounds like starter. Next time it will not start, don't hold the key for almost a minute. Try turning the key several times if no luck, grabb a hammer and LIGHTLY tap on starter. If it turns over normally then, starter is going out.

To adjust the key repeat rate

1. Open Keyboard in Control Panel.
2. On the Speed tab, make changes as follows:
   • To adjust the amount of time that elapses before characters repeat when you hold down a key, drag the Repeat delay slider.
   • To adjust how quickly characters repeat when you hold down a key, drag the Repeat rate slider.

Note

• To open Keyboard, click Start, click Control Panel, click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Keyboard.

Good luck and please rate me

Solution. My wireles keyboard stopped working except for the F-Lock key, the Media key and the sleep key. It wasn't batteries, even though I tried, communication was there because the above keys were working. Remove the batteries from your keyboard and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Press the red connect button a few times and other various keys every few minutes during that time. This may be the whole "capacitor discharge" trick, but I tired that with someone elses instructions and my keyboard did not work after 2 minutes of key pressing. I think it just needed more time to clear out the secure settings. Good luck, I was about to trash this keyboard until I tried again
