How do I fix sticky keys on netbook? - Acer Aspire One Netbook 8.9" Notebook

clean the keys by blowing air blower. else replace the keys.

If your space bar isn't responding when you press it, or if it responds sluggishly, it's possible that you have inadvertently enabled the "Sticky Keys" or "Filter Keys" accessibility option in Windows.

When these options are enabled, your keyboard response time will be dramatically slowed and may require more than one tap to register a keystroke.

Fortunately, it's easy to disable these functions and return your keyboard to normal working order.

Click "Start" and select "All Programs."

Click "Accessories" and select "Ease of Access."

Click "Ease of Access Center."

Click "Make Keyboard Easier to Use."

Click "Set Up Sticky Keys." Deselect the checkbox that says "Turn on Sticky Keys When Shift is Pressed Five Times." Make sure the box that says "Turn on Sticky Keys" is not checked. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Click "Set Up Filter Keys." Uncheck the box that says "Turn on Filter Keys."

Click on the checkbox next to "Turn On Filter Keys When Right Shift Is Pressed For 8 Seconds" to deselect it. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Click "OK" again to save all of the keyboard accessibility changes you have made.

Hope this helps

I found that if you hold down both left and right shift key at the same time (did this for several seconds), it somehow solved the problem. Hopefully that fixed the issue.


Also, go to control panel, click on accessibility options..in the keyboard tab, click on the settings buttons for sticky keys, filter keys and toggle keys and deselect the option to use shortcut..hopefully this will help you and other people that have had this problem.

Sticky keys might be the problems.
1.Press SHIFT 5 times repeatedly
2.Cleanup the touchpad on the right corners ( unit OFF )
3.Seem the PgUp and PgDn keys STICKY >>> try clean it with a dry soft brush

Hi Dgr Welcome to fix ya !

The sticky keys are part of Windows Ease of Access Center Accessibility program.

1. The easiest way to enable/disable the sticky keys is to press the "Shift " key five times. This will turn on/turn off the program.

2. The second way is to press the Windows logo key + U at the same time. This will open the Ease of Access Center. Then select the link that reads" Make the keyboard easier to use."

3. Under the section that reads, "Make it easier to type" you have the option to enable the Sticky Keys or a link to Set Up Sticky Keys. Select whether you want to set up the Sticky Keys or just enable them if you have previously set them up. If setting them up for the first time, remember to click "Apply" after making your selections.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance, just leave a comment at the end of this solution and I'll be glad to help. Thanks for using Fix Ya.

Hi there.
Treat this as a hard lesson learnt. If you are not experienced with this kinda thing, take it into a repair shop or claim on your extended warrenty from the store. It will involve taking the netbook appart in quite a major way that will void any warrenty. I would visit the store you purchased it from first before you start messing with it, then if you get nowhere, revisit this post and let us know your results so far then we'll go from there.

Hi, Ya sure you'll be able to clean it from underneath, but the sticky key i had never got good even after cleaning it , i got it replaced few days back from www.laptopkey.com now it works and looks just like new. you could try them out too if nothing else works.
all the best:)

Hi

Thank you for your query

Best thing would be to get a damp cloth and simply wipe over the keyboard when the laptop is switched off, this will remove the stickyness.

Please ensure when wiping that no water travels into the keyboard which may cause you problems

Hello, If your laptop keys are sticky and its causing problem typing, you can replace just the one key which is sticky, visit this site
