Pc keyboard will not type letters when keys are struck, i typed this with the on screen key pad.

Alan, good day.
no PC told, makers name and model ( and super hard to guess me)
quark 7 is an app for word press. i guess and is unrelated. !
no OS told, at all, windows (what V) MAC, android, Chrome, Linux?
what OS?
does the keyboard work in BIOS correctly then the keyboard is ok and the unstated OS is a wreck. or , (ESP day)

the keyboard has 104 keys are you saying the all fail, NO.
bingo below (MY ESP)
or just the KEYPAD right side is wrong,(below numlock)
but a 104 keyboard, PAD never does letters. ever on the PAD !!!


so this must be (unstated) undersized laptop? that has those horrid,
key PADS stuffed into the main A to Z board. set.
and those are a pain, they have 3 levels, via FN key use.
the manual on your PC shows who to USE the KEYPAD
it shows on some how to set the way it works in BIOS settings
one cure easy is buy external real keyboard 104 keys.
bingo;
or learn to use yours, via RTM read the manual, there are special Fn keys to use, no 2 PC do this same way, ever. (brand/model)


got a PC like this,??? with super undersized keyboard.
NO PC TOLD I guess and show this. a prime example
the blue letters on this kbd , mean virtual keyPAD

since the laptop is only a few days old I would recommend performing a factory restore to the "out of box" state.

Hi, hold down the ALT key and then type 0244 on the number pad on the right of the keyboard, then let go the ALT key. You should then get the letter: ô

If you want the upper case ô - do the same as above but use the number 0212

Press Fn+Numlk. Check whether that solves your problem or else Press the button Fn + Shift +Numlk

remove keyboard and replace if USB type otherwise reboot the PC

Try this. Touch Keypad simulates a wireless phone keypad on the touch screen to allow you to enter text, numbers, and symbols just as if you were using a wireless phone keypad. Touch Keyboard simulates a 20-key QWERTY (typewriter) keyboard on the touch screen to allow you to enter text, numbers, and symbols similar to the way you would using a QWERTY keyboard. To use Touch Keypad or Touch Keyboard:  In a program, tap the Input Selector arrow, and then tap Touch Keypad or Touch Keyboard. To type lowercase letters, tap the keys on the dial pad or keyboard. To type a single uppercase letter, tap the Shift key and then tap the corresponding key. To type all uppercase letters, tap the Shift key twice. To change back to all lowercase letters, tap again. To enter a space after the word, tap the Space key. To start a new line, tap the Enter key. To backspace and delete a single character in any input mode, press the Back key. To open the Symbol pad, tap the Symbol key. To change the input mode:  Tap the Input mode key to switch to a different input mode: XT9 (predictive), Multitap (abc), or Numeric (123).

Hope this helps, let me know if this works or if I can help you with anything else.

Sounds like the windows key is stuck down, pressing start+r opens run, start+e opens explorer etc. The start key being the one between control and alt.

Make sure NumLock is OFF.

1. Open the on screen keyboard by going to "control panel" then "Ease of Access Center" then click on "onscreen keyboard".

2. click and hold down the "Fn" key on the physical keyboard and then hit F11 on the onscreen Keyboard.

3. All Fixed. Spread the word.

Do you use a laptop or some sort of keyboard with a mouse pad? My son used to have that problem when he would type as his thumb would accidentally hit the mouse pad and move the cursor. We solved it in a very low tech way by taping a notecard over the mouse pad when he was using the computer. Depending on the manufacurer, there are ways to turn off the mouse pad while continuing to use a mouse.
