Keyboard

The keyboard is not responding

Clean the keyboard by using an aerosol can of compressed air with a proper extension to remove dust and lint trapped under the keys.

A keyboard character is repeating

Ensure that there is nothing resting on any of the keys.

Check that no key on the keyboard is stuck. Press each key to loosen any keys that may be stuck and then restart your computer.

Spills on the keyboard

If liquid of any kind is spilled on the keyboard, turn off the computer. Clean the keyboard using the appropriate cleaning materials and turn it over to drain the keyboard. Once the keyboard has dried, turn on the computer. If the keyboard does not work, it needs to be replaced.

Keyboards damaged due to spills are not covered under limited warranty.
