Computer Problem - Help?

[Wahesh]

Hi guys,

For some reason whenever I hold down a key on the keyboard it doesn't repeat - eg I need to keep pressing backspace in order to delete multiple letters, or keep pressing spacebar to leave multiple spaces etc - it's pretty annoying. I've already searched google and can't seem to find a way to fix this. It's not the sticky keys as I've toggled that on and off. Any suggestions?

Thanks

If you can get another keyboard plug it in and test it out. That way you will know if it’s just the keyboard or a software/setting problem

My first question is, are you using a typewriter? If yes, it's a hardware issue. Try upgrading your system to a PC.

I don't think it's a hardware issue because the problem would affect one or 2 keys...

You mustve triggered something when you left the Vaseline bottle on the keyboard

Try go to keyboard settings and adjusting the repeat delay bar or try doing a driver update on your keyboard.

That's usually filter keys (it's below sticky keys)

I was also struggling with the no repeat on the keys but after holding the right shift key down for about 10 seconds there was a small beep and now every key will repeat just by holding it down as it should.

I read that online somewhere.

I turned on filter keys following the steps in the video below - no luck

I read once somewhere that putting a slice of cheese in the cd drive might help.

Do people even have CD players anymore? Heck, do they even make CD players anymore?

UN plug the key board.

Take it out side.

Smash it pretty hard against a wall a few times.

Plug back in and see if that fixes it.

That's how we do it in the Neanderthal community.

I thought that was how you romance a reluctant woman.

Thanks mate. That was actually one of the first things I tried yesterday and read that solution on the Microsoft forums. It didn't work on my laptop. Anyway I shutdown my laptop and went home for the day. I logged back on to continue working from home and it worked (without me doing anything). Then this morning... same problem occurred. I tried the right shift key trick and it worked. We're in business.

Thanks dude
