Keyboard Not Recognized

There is no key command. It has a mini receiver that you just plug into a USB port. The mini receiver just snaps into the mouse, so you may not have noticed it. See this... http://viotekusa.com/hawkpeck.html

You may have a USB keyboard that is not recognized by the BIOS on powerup, but is later recognized by Windows when that starts running. Try connecting a keyboard with a PS2 connector, enter F2 on startup and set the BIOS to enable USB devices in BIOS. If this still doesn't work, then keep a PS2 keyboard around in case you ever need to activate F2 or F12.

hello sir..

Hi,

This should be similar for your keyboard. Please refer to the instructions on the link for how to dismantle the keyboard from the laptop.Then you can go and replace it or send it to the manufacturer for replacement.

Regards

I have come across this before and it turned out to be a bad ps2 port on the main board. I just used a cheap usb keyboard and never worried about it.

If it's a PS/2 keyboard (round connector, about the diameter of a pencil, check to see if you're plugging it into the keyboard port. It's easy to plug it into the mouse port by mistake.

Another thing to try is to turn off the PC, plug the keyboard in, and turn back on so it will initialize on bootup.

If it's USB, it should be recognized immediately if the keyboard is functional.

I'm afraid that if the keys "keep coming off" then the very small bits of plastic that keep them down have permanently broken (very common) and that you must replace the keyboard. Page 5-28 of this document from HP explains how to replace the keyboard of that model.

I'm assuming it's a wireless keyboard?

Have you tried "ReSyncing" the keyboard?

1) On the base unit for the keyboard/mouse plugged into the computer press the button on it.
2) Press the button on the bottom of your keyboard.
3) Try to use the keyboard.

You might have to try it a couple of times. That'll fix the problem 99% of the time. The other 1% means your keyboard is dead.

once you have switched pc you will need to re-sync the wireless keyboard and mouse with the new pc, because although you have switched pc the keyboard and mouse do not know this. there should be a reset/resync button on the bottom of both the keyboard and mouse
