    Nokia Asha 302 keyboard jumbled for Shift Key characters

    The final step in setting my my new phone as the write fake texts. That's when I found out that using the Shift Key for characters other than the centre keys (numbers and *# came out ok) resulted in a mess. The right hand keys produce french vowels (with
    accents) when I press them (e.g. looking for a + = - ') and the left hand keys show the wrong character or there's a character where there shouldn't be.

    Even though the phone was new, I reset it again - it didn't help.

    It's like the wrong keys are assigned to the Shift Key characters (other than the centre).

    Any way to correct this at my end? Is this a common problem and can I expect it if I exchange the phone for another one?

    Thank you.

  3. Keyboard character key mapping

    In summary, what I need to do is to map:

    • key e0-34 to the "$" character (Shift-4)
    • and key e0-33 to the "€" character (Alt-0128)
    Voila.

    Please help.

    Thanks.

    Shift key produces wrong character and same with new keyboard

    Both shift keys

    Hello.
    I have problem with Lenovo Idea Pad 100 laptop (OS: WIN10). After replacing HDD into SSD I faced a strange problem. Both Shifts of the keyboard doesn‘t work .
    I have tried to:
    • Check if sticky keys are off. They are off.
    • Connect external keyboard via USB port. Shift keys on external keyboard works good.
    • Check the keyboard on online tester which indicates pressed buttons. It can‘t indicate press of the shift
    • Change several different input languages. The problem is on all of them.
    • Reinstall keyboard driver
    • Check if connection is OK. It is OK.
    • Tried to run computer without screws (I have read in one forum that screws could touch the keyboard from the bottom and it wouldn‘t operate normal)
    I believe that keyboard is not damaged because connector damage could cause just exact part of keyboard failure, while it is impossible to do physical damage for both shifts. Any solutions?
