Hi I recently purchased this item and have found that a couple of keyboard commands dont work correctly. Firstly the @ key does not produce the symbol but instead the 2 key when hit with control does prodece the @ symbol? Any ideas why this could be and secondly the £ sign does not appear at all when i hit control and 3 at the same time as it should. I hope you can help Alan

Hi, its easy to fix. you have your keyboard layout set to US Layout, ie americans have a couple of keys in reverse from ours. All you have to do is this Windows XP Start, Control Panel, regional & language settings, change all US Settings, in there to UK British, And it will fix your problems :-) if its windows 98/ME ETC start, control panel, Keyboard, and change the US Keyboard setting to UK British, u usually have to set it twice, ie select uk, apply it, then do it again before it changes... If you dont get it sorted will guide u though it just email me.. All the best John [email protected]

I've had the same Yahoo email account for years now it's saying my email is not correct
Firstly, make sure that you dont have a " " space character at the old of your email enyrtrd. This is sometimes added by auto select keyboard such as swift key Hey board on Android or if auto correct is select on the standard keyboard. If this doesnt work, re-type your password to make sure thats ok. Still not working? Select forgot password, follow the instructions and reset your password kind regards Dave

Letter between c and b wont work! its the paste code key also and I dont recall using it to paste anything Whmat's your problem?
Of course, it wont work because you used a wrong short cut key. The correct short cut command for copying is press the control C simultaneously then for pasting it, it should control V simultaneously. Try it again using the right short cut command. Good luck!

Certain keys on the Gyration GC15CK keyboard have stopped working
If this is hardware problem, it'd be hard to repair. I don't mean it's not repairable, but what i mean is i don't recommend since repairing a keyboard and purchasing a new item will cost you more or less the same.
Well try this, Press Fn + Numlock (simultaneously on both the keys) on the keyboard and check if it helps or not [press once and then type the malfunction keys, if not press twice or thrice]. Most keyboard with Fn key's functions can be deactivated or activated with this key combination.
Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Problem with keyboard or input of certain keys
hi.. is that a bi-lingual keyboard that you purchased? If so, what model? If that's a toshiba laptop w/ a bi-lingual keyboard, press the left (shift+ctrl) buttons for 10-15secs then release it. You should be able to bring back the normal function of your keyboard. If your having problems pressing the "n" key and it replaces it with a number on the screen when you type it, it's most likely that you enabled the "num lock" function of your keyboard, on Toshiba press FN+F11, on Dell FN+F11 also i think, it may differ on other models, sometimes FN+ Print Screen or Pause (above F11).

Hope this helps.

The Print key is not working

it depends what system you are running cetain programs and windows operating systems dont accept this shortcut

try going into controll panel clik keyboard and make sure hot keys are on

the only other reason is if you have eny other wireless functions running these can disrupt the signal from the keyboard to the computer turn off all wireless items and try agen

if none of these work try replacing the keyboard as it should work as long as hotkeys are on and the operating system you have accepts this function
