  1. F9 key not registering after using key repeater


    The F9 keystroke is not registering on my keyboard and there's seemingly nothing I can do to restore it. Here are the things I'm tried.

    1. I tried another keyboard, two in fact: another external keyboard and the internal keyboard on the laptop.
    2. I tried mapping another key to F9 via the keyboard's control panel.
    3. I checked for driver updates; there weren't any.
    4. I tried uninstalling all the keyboard drivers and reinstalling them on bootup.

    At this point the only thing I can think to do is reinstalling the OS; a step I'd rather not take. Especially since I don't know that it would work. Any others ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Windows 7 repeating keys uncontrollably

    I have tried cleaning the ports and the USB connector but not the keyboard itself which appears to be clean even under the keys after removing them.


    I would assume its the keyboard as well but even when disconnected the key repeats, would it be doing that due to a problem registering the keystroke as stopping?

  4. F9 key not registering after using key repeater

    FN key always on

    To clarify, I was saying "Accessibility" features maybe be controlled via the BIOS, not the Fn keys. And one of the Accessibility features makes the keys "sticky". This allows folks with some disabilities to press, for example, the Ctrl key, then the Alt key, and then Del in sequence instead of all at once. Same with the Fn key. The sticky feature would let you first press the Fn key, and then the F9 key (for example) and not Fn + F9 at the same time to enable/disable whatever Fn + F9 does with that notebook (it is the touchpad on my Toshiba).
