donigspain: My HP Compaq Mini Laptop is faulty.

ORIGINAL KEYBOARD FAULT
- All the keys work except keys A S D F G Z C.
- Key Z repeats itself multiple times once you boot to desktop. Stop only when you hit the keyboard a little.

I was advised to get a new keyboard which I went for yesterday at Computer Village. I tried many keyboards but they kept repeating the following error sequence:
- All keys respond when punched
- Key Z no longer repeats itself
- When you press key A it displays AZ, key S displays SX, key D displays DC etc. and these are the keys that DON'T WORK in the original keyboard.

The technician cleaned the Keyboard Controller on the motherboard with brush (no spirit) and tried the keyboards again but it still repeated same errors. He now concluded that the Keyboard Controller is faulty and cannot be changed. I only have to make do with external keyboards.

MAIN-POINT:
Engineers in the house, what do you think of the above situation.
- Is the technician's diagnosis/troubleshooting correct?
- If yes, is the keyboard controller fixable/repairable?
- If yes, what will it cost me to fix it?

Please kindly assist regarding my laptop computer (Samsung Mini).

The mouse pad has bn behaving funny for some days now. It tends to stop working or tends to be freezing whenever I plug in a charger, and returns to a normal working condition if I unplug the charger.

Thanks for you precious comments.

LordReed:

Most likely driver issues. Update the touchpad drivers or go to synaptics.com and get the latest touchpad drivers.

haibe: You probably didn't do a backup

LordReed:

This one is just about the same with the other one. It will barely play modern games and older games will run on low quality settings. What he needs is at least a Core i3 laptop.

all4naija: It is better because it has 4 cores and equivalent to i3 third generation and has a dedicated graphic.

MARKone:

Is ur PC a desktop or laptop?

In either case, I will advise you first check if ur system recognises the Ethernet controller. You can do this by going through the device manager. The device might be seen as not available, bad or Disabled by the system and hence will marked by a red "x" or is merely being queried for a driver, in which case you will need to install the appropriate driver to run the Ethernet device.

Please note that their are instances these Ethernet controllers just gets bad. If ur PC is a desktop, all you need to do is to get an PCI Ethernet card, and install. For laptops, a PCMCIA Ethernet card would do(though not integrated in all laptops).

Note also, that the Main and Aux cable of a laptops Ethernet cards can also loose contact or just needs cleaning to get it back on.

* modified *

I did not see where you wrote that ur device manager okay ed the device.

From what loodreed suggested, you should start by checking your IP, and also look at your system firewall and your AV firewall.

LordReed:

Most Ethernet ports have an activity light? Does yours have? Is it lighting?
Is the IP configuration properly set up?

dober:
Yea the light is blinking as usual.
IP is okay. I have set IPs for some colleagues and it worked for them.

LordReed:

Are your Ethernet port drivers properly setup?

dober:
Thanks for your reply. I have tried most of the suggestions, remaining the firmware thing. For the PCMCIA Ethernet card, what is it all about?

LordReed:

I checked the config there is no dedicated graphics stated there. What is stated is Intel HD graphics which is most definitely not dedicated.

liminister: pls help me out. my avast anti-virus stop working. it wil xpire 2038 n is registrd bt on d top of d avast is 0 days remaining n also i cant uninstall it o install another avast vasion. tnx

MARKone:

PCMCIA is an Add-on card for laptops, and from what you've described you'll not be needing it.

What OS are you running sef.

Where you able to PING Internet gateway.

You said you did a system restore, did you do a factory reset.


Try to describe your Equipment and the network structure you have, might just be a minor problem.

Oxone:

You're welcome man, glad i could be of help
