It seems unlikley that the oprginal keybaord that did work for years and also the new one are defective. What's surprising to me is that thje isseu also happens with Linux Mint - i.e. it does not seem to be a software issue - could there be an issue with the motherboard keyboard connector or...

Hello! I have a ThinkPad X230 23243QC S/N PK0ZY2Z with i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60 GHz – System Board 1ZSSK698FP1 - BIOS G2ETB7W (2.77) everything works fine, except some of the keys don't type the correct letters e.g., when I type 6 on the keyboard it shows 6, when I type 7 – it shows 7 & 8; when I...

Yes I did tear down the keyboard and left it to bake in the sun for about one week! Will a T420 keyboard fit and work in the SK-8855 assembly and usb cable connection! Be a ThinkPad user for more than 20 years I am reluctant to switch brands - which newer ThinkPad USB keyboard is worth buying?

Unfortunately water spilled on my reliable ThinkPad wired keyboard (USB type "A") with trackpoint Sk-8855 which I have been using for 10+ years and now may of the keys don't work - even after drying out the keyboard for one week! I understand that the keyboard uses keys from a T420 series...

Ok - I downloaded the newest bios from Lenovo.com and ran the bios installed and selected update machine type and it didn't update the machine type or serial number!

I recently needed to replace the motherboard in my ThinkPad T450 Type 20BV - on boot up after the Lenovo screen it comes up with the following error message "2200 Machine type and serial number are invalid" and then boots into Windows and works fine. Is there any way to add the correct machine...

No - unfortunately the HP info it doesn't help. It seems that the screen is stuck in play/sleep mode?! I changed the hard drive to a known working windows 10 hard d rive and the sleep message still comes up!

I own two HP Envy 34" Curved AIO - Model #: 34-a010 - M9Z77AA#ABA: When I press the power switch on either computer - the screen says that it is in "PC Mode - display going to sleep". The computer shuts down! Kindly please advise what to do asap. Philip
