Some keys on keyboard dont work sometimes?

audiobahn1000 · 12-08-2006, 10:04 AM

I have this keyboard: http://www.sunbeamtech.com/PRODUCT11.html

Sometimes I will be doing something and some keys will become unresponsive. As in I press the key but it does not function. Most commonly it’s the “g” and “h” key that stops working. However I am fairly sure it is not the keyboard because sometimes I can unplug the keyboard from my tower and replug it in and the keys will start working immediately. Sometimes not. I tried downloading and installing the latest driver off their site and it just overrides the current one. I did it many times so the driver is there. Any ideas?

maybe a stupid suggestion.. (also have no idea if it would make a difference...

) but, have you trie changing the language of the keyboard?
I mean, try setting it to english UK for example,.. ok, you would lose the $ sign, and get the Pound sign instead.. but its worth a shot it gues, to see if it would make a difference? =o

(btw, link doesnt work.. it goes to an index page, not a specific item

)
Is it a USB keyboard btw? trie putting it into a other USB port? (preferably one that is directly mouned on the motherboard, since those can deliver the most power.

edit: also tried using the keyboard without installing drivers? (could be them beeing dodgy? =o )
