    Laptop keyboard not working

    in Computer Desk

    Posted

    That's for Intel? I'm pretty sure this laptop has the cheaper AMD option. I don't know if it will matter though.

    That doesn't matter

    I got some help with removing the keyboard. It looks fine and is very clean. It is now showing very erratic behavior that seems to be pointing to a software issue. It gets locked on the "f" key now. A few other keys also give an "f" and most keys don't respond. (The "h" is the only one that is normal.) It is becoming increasingly difficult to work on as the "f" key gets stuck most of the time which interferes with the touchpad buttons. (The other keyboard uses the mouse input, so I'll have to find my usb mouse.) The onboard keyboard does not disable when another keyboard is plugged in.

    I doubt it's a driver issue. If it was, then booting into a LiveCD would make it work just fine. Didn't you say you tried booting into a LiveCD OS and it still acted up?

    I tried updating the drivers again. It could not find a better match online or on the disc. I then tried to choose my own location to search and it immediately came up with a warning about how changing the keyboard drivers would also affect the touchpad. I clicked ok and it instantly displayed a driver updated message asking for a restart. Upon reboot, there is no change. (One of the times I tried to update, it displayed a blue screen, but before I could read the message, it rebooted.) I think I'm going to have to install by command line or something. (I do know someone who can probably help me, but he is out of town at the moment.)

    I HIGHLY doubt that the keyboard problem is driver related, because if it was, then it wouldn't work during bootup at all because it wouldn't have a driver loaded. Plus, with how laptop keyboard are wired in, it's like PS/2 (they don't require any drivers).

    I hope I'm helping you get somewhere with this.

    Ok it must be super old because I cant even find that on HP's site, nor Google.

    Dust shouldn't be an issue. I don't really have any sites I recomment...although www.tomshardware.com probably has some guides. I use their comparison charts a lot, it's a very helpful site in general.

    All I have to say if you don't know about laptop internals, is remember what goes where, and be very careful with snaps and stuff not to break them, etc.

    Good luck.

  9. Torrent or direct download for 0ad

    It will probably be both. The majority will probably start out as direct download, then as we grow it will move to torrents.

    The game should be relatively small compared to some free-to-download games pushing 2-4 gigs these days.

    Torrents are great, but first we have to get a user base built up, and without that, torrents are useless.

    I agree with what is already said about how it may be carbon neutral, but moving the carbon/pollution from the ground to the air does us absolutely no good. I'm not a big "global warming" guy but I do think that we should take better care of our planet for our kids, and grand kids, etc. sake.

    I think if we put effort in it we could come up with a way to neutralize this with some sort of new super catalytic converter that would neutralize it altogether.

    Need Help Installing a Monitor

    in Computer Desk

    Ok after a little brainstorming, the main thing I think it could be is an incompatible refresh rate between the video card, and the monitor, however, this should still not cause the beeping, it would simple display a message on the monitor saying that are incompatible so I'm still thinking...
