Acer Aspire 5920 keyboard problem

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 

Hi I'm new to posting here, here goes I have an Acer Aspire 5920 with a very strange keyboard problem, some keys type different symbols others dont work at all and others work fine, This the second replacement keyboard I've tested on this laptop (used but both from a 5920 laptop) and the problem still seems to be there, strange but a usb keyboard works fine, I was considering buying a new Keyboard for this but now i'm not sure if its even a keyboard issue, forgot to mention the think the guy said the powerboard has been replaced on it, this is not my laptop but I think the keyboard worked fine before this, any help appreciated on this difficult one

Have you looked around and checked out the threads about "keyboard issues" in this section? MichelleG has put up some tip about resetting the battery of some sort that might pertain to your issue

Thanks for your reply qhn, wow your some poster here 53,000 posts smile.gif well I had a look at the other posts and did manage to unplug the CMOS battery cable but still the problem exists and can't flash the BIOS with latest 3813 for some reason, I also changed HDD  reseated the Ram modules but still no use

Tempting with a new keyboard myself, but I do agree with your assessment of "other" issue.

This Laptop problem has been a difficult one, service people kept it for 2 weeks trying to locate and fix the problem (so they told me anyway), well the good news is that they fixed it but as to how I'm not all that sure, all I know is they eventually replaced the keyboard with one that worked but I'm told earlier keyboards didn't work, so there you have it Laptop will be back with its owner tomorrow and I hope they will be happy with the result, I for one am happy that it worked out well in the end, thanks for the advice guys I appreciate it, until next time take care (wont be very long I'm sure) 001_rolleyes.gif

Hi, Did you ever manage to solve the problem with the Acer Aspire 5920 keyboard? Ihave this one seccond hand so... anyway, for example the @ is not shift+2, it´s left of the 1 among many other anomilies. I spend half my time trying to remember where the question mark is. Otherwise it´s an ok-ish notebook. Yours, Stuart (stuartswaller@hotmail.com)
