I have a acer 3680-2682 having a keyboard problem #3,qesihyvv do not work.went to keyboard prop.it tell me device working properly.just got laptop from mother she never used it.PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Try reinstalling/updating the driver, click: start>control panel>hardware and sound>device manager. Look for keyboards and expand the menu. Right click on the keyboard adapter and click properties. The first tab (general) will tell you if the device is working properly. Click on the drivers tab, choose update driver and search automatically for updated software. You can also try to; uninstall the keyboard, reboot the machine and let windows install a new driver.

OK you need to clean the keyboard. prop open the arrow key with your fingers and scrub it with a paper down. Prop open gently

check the status in device manager and try to desable-enable it and try again

> keyboard working properly

This only means that the keyboard has been "detected" as "connected" and as being a keyboard device.

It's time to take the notebook to a qualified technician, to purchase and install a replacement keyboard.

Hello,

I think you would need to contact an expert on acer products. But since you requested for an Acer expert in Mumbai. Here is a number you can call

1-800-11-6677 (Toll free from BSNL/MTNL landlines).

Best regards.

Sometimes the keyboard connector to the motherboard becomes loose it may workproperly sometimes sometimes it may not, its better take your notebook to some technical person open the notebook there and attached the connector firmly

I guess you have a mechanical problem, sounds like the mother board have some issues on starting all devices.

If you could use keyboard to go in the bios, and see the screen, if would be the OS that need to be repaired.

you may have shorted your keyboard (spillage??)

if your laptop is outside warranty you can check the connection to the keyboard, by removing the top bezel, undoing the keyboard retaining screws and then check that the ribbon cable for your keyboard is seated properly, If reseating this cable does not work the you can always order a replacement for your keyboard, you can find the part number for the keyboard you have, it should be printed on a tag on the reverse of the keyboard.

You might have a usb keyboard requiring a usb 2.0 driver. If no other usb device has worked with xp since you replaced your hard drive, that could be the point of failure.

Make sure you have installed windows xp service pack 2 to get the usb 2.0 driver.

Please tell me if it worked. Thanks.

the 'Add New Hardware Wizard' and force it to install the non-certified M-Audio drivers that were supposedly installed when running the M-Audio installer. (Skip internet search, and browse to M-Audio folder in Program files, it will eventually find them.) There are two M-Audio USB drivers that need to be 'forced' via New Hardware Wizard. But Windows thinks its drivers are a better match and even though 'device is working properly' it doesn't get recognized in your software. replaced them with the 2 USB ones from M-Audio, DAW finally recognized the keyboard. I even went through regedit to clean up all the M-Audio stuff so I could get a fresh install.

Good Luck you can do this /Have a great Sunday and a safe one.
