see the poster that came with your computer.

extension to remove dust and lint trapped under the keys.

■ Try a keyboard that you know works to make sure that the keyboard port works.

■ Reinstall the keyboard device driver.

A keyboard character keeps repeating or you see a “keyboard stuck” or “key failure”

error message

■ Make sure that nothing is resting on the keyboard.

■ Make sure that a key is not stuck. Press each key to loosen a key that might be

stuck, then restart your computer.

Liquid spilled in the keyboard

■ If you spilled liquid in the keyboard, turn off your computer and unplug the

keyboard. Clean the keyboard and turn it upside down to drain it. Let the keyboard

dry before using it again. If the keyboard does not work after it dries, you may

need to replace it.

failing.
