For the past 6 months I’ve had a problem with the keyboard on my Vaio laptop.
I’ve seen various posts on the forum about Sticky Keys, Num Lock being activated, and Regional Settings being wrong but I?ve already checked these out and none of these are causing my problem.
When I use my left shift key to capitalise a letter or to get a character I always get the number 9 or a left bracket prefixed. So if I wanted to type my name, I’d get 9James or sometimes (James.
My right shift key does similar. It prefixes a lower case L.
Also sometimes hitting the L key without holding shift generates a capital.
I have been using the Caps Lock key when I want to capitalise, but when I want to use Shift + character or Shift + number to generate the top character I have to use Character Map. As you can imagine I?m pretty much fed up of this now!
I’ve not tried using an external keyboard. But I’ll take my work one home with me tonight as I’ve just checked and it’s USB.
Has anyone experienced this sort of problem before?
Cheers
James
