My eee pc 901 doesn't have a working keyboard, someones fiddled with it and now normal keys don't work, but if i press the G key it brings up the goto line box, and all the other keys you'd normally operate using the CTRL key as well as work too, but no normal keys. i can't even do a system recovery as the F buttons don't work either, how can i fix this

Press and hold the "Fn," or function, key on your EEE PC-1000's keyboard.

Press "F3" while holding "Fn" to lower the brightness on your monitor.

The brightness on your computer decreases each time "F3" is pressed.

Press "F4" while holding "Fn" to increase the brightness on your monitor.

Each time "F4" is pressed, the brightness increases.

Press "F8" while holding "Fn" to decrease the volume from your EEE PC's speakers.

Each time "F8" is pressed, the volume decreases.

Press "F9" while holding "Fn" to increase the volume from your EEE PC's speakers.

Each time "F9" is pressed, the volume increases.

Press the "Ins" key while holding "Fn" to take a screen shot, or make a copy of what is currently on the computer screen.

hope this helps

What exactly is the problem? Wireless not working is not very descriptive of your problem because there are many things that come into play in order to have wireless.

Maybe you don't have your wireless turned on. Look on both sides and in front for the Wireless Switch and turn it on.

Also once the wireless switch is turned on there are keystrokes that can toggle the wireless on or off. Normally you would Press and Hold the FN function key located at the lower left of the keyboard, then hit the correct F1 thru F12 key that toggles the wireless. The correct F1 thru F12 key to hit will have the wireless signal icon )))) on it. Or it might have the icon of a tower with the wireless signal icon )))). Normally the screen will display Wireless On or Wireless Off when you toggle the wireless.

Your numlock is turned on. There is more than one way to turn it off.Find a USB keyboard, and plug it in. Then push the numlock key on the USB keyboard to turn it off.OR, if you don't have access to one of those, hold down the fn key (lower left hand corner of the keyboard) and press the key with numlock or number lock written on or near it.

You could have deleted the keyboard in the device manager. If so, rebooting your computer and it will find it.
Are all the keys not working or just some? Take a look at this hint and see if it fits.

Hello,

This is because you have Num Lk activated.
To deactivate, hold down the Fn key and press NumLk (it's the same key as insert)

Now you will have the normal characters when typing.

Hi,
Do the other key using 'Fn' functions like 'End' ,Number works fine?
thank you

Press Fn+F11 to activate the letters. Here is a link with the keyboard: http://www.mobilecomputermag.co.uk/img/fckimages/reviews/2008/06/eee-pc-901/eee-pc-901-keyboard.jpg

Perhaps you can check your manual. Many notebook keys do not function as expected. If you do not have the manual, you may download one here:

have it checked by asus service center, it seems like a keyboard hardware problem
