how do you correct keys that don't respond (work) when pressed?

Should have paid attention to the reviews more...This thing is junk. I gave it a bad review and returned it. Solved the problem 100%.

I freak out and cuss! Even though it shouldn't be, this item seems to be a line-of-sight kind of thing rather than like a 2.4GHz wireless home telephone. Getting it back into line-of-sight might obviate the need to swear. c

Hold it upside down shake it, to let debris fall out, blow all over it with compressed air, make sure the batteries are good. That's about all I would know to try

I can press "open" or "close" and it will respond, but not automatically. It has 'fixed' itself numerous times. I did nothing.

No, it will not work properly because numerous keys do not work. Sent mine back.

You may be able to fix, using your 'settings', under language/input where you define how the 'device' expects to get information. There are basic 'keyboard' options, and more advanced settings for how much you want the device to make [what it considers] corrections' to your input 'errors'. Of course, you know that you put in what you 'wanted to input', but based on those 'translation/dictionary' settings, it can take over and [over-rule/over-write] your input. Best of luck.

It sounds like the Microsoft keyboard software got installed or upgraded. The F Lock button will resolve this issue, but you have to do that every time you restart the keyboard. The permanent fix is to install the MS keyboard software and then re-assign each function key from the default action back to the Function action as a Macro. Example: F1 becomes help and F2 becomes undo. Most of these functions still work within popular applications when they are functions keys.You have to do the same thing with newer laptops regarding the top row of keys.

The system volumn should be variable and not fixed. The volumn normally will respond to both the keyboard and desktop/screen controls.

Try the function "FN" key with the "Z" key. On my laptop it switches through one of 3 modes each time I hit function + z: keys lit for 10 seconds after last press, keys always lit, and key lights always off.

I hated that keyboard from the start and ordered a different brand. Sorry that I can't help you solve your problem with the key that is stuck!

I solved a similar problem by going (on my mac) to System Preferences...Keyboard and unchecking the box named "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys"

Mine switched from 12 to 24 hour format the first time I pressed a set key, and nothing I did afterward would switch it back to 12 hours. I went through every possible combination of the three buttons.

I face this problem every 6 months or so ( I've had this piece of crap for 2 years now). Fixing it is easy, follow the instructions here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Unresponsive+Keyboard+Keys/11932

Yes, however you will need to use the number keys at the top of the keyboard.I haven't solved this situation!

no issues with the keys repeating. having issues with the keys not working. sometimes i have to hit the key twice, esp the space bar. what other issues are you having with the keys?

I've not had this problem, but sometimes the on screen keyboard will not respond, not really a delay because it just won't work. It will make the sound but not print the letter or number.

Me too. Sometimes giving the offending key a quick jab works, sometimes GENTLY flexing the keyboard, sometimes flipping the on/off switch... but sometimes nothing works and then I just have to force my tablet off and on again :( Sorry. I hope someone else (like the manufacturer!) has a real answer.

Hi Thomas,Sorry you're having a problem. It doesn't sound normal though since all of my function keys produce the correct corresponding symbol. You might consider contacting the vendor through Amazon to see if they can trouble shoot or exchange. Best of luck. Susan
