Keyboard and Mouse Problems
The built-in touch pad performs erratically -
Make sure there is no excess perspiration or humidity on your hand when using the touch pad. Keep
the surface of the touch pad clean and dry.
Do not rest your palm or wrist on the surface of the touch pad while typing or using the touch pad.
The built-in keyboard accepts no input -
If you are connecting an external keyboard to the system, the built-in keyboard may not work.
Try restarting the system.
The characters on the screen repeat while I type.
You may be holding the keys down too long while you're typing.
Keep the keyboard clean. Dust and dirt under the keys could cause them to stick.
Configure the keyboard to wait longer before the auto repeat feature starts. To adjust this feature, Go
to [Start > Settings > Control Panel], and double-click the Keyboard icon. A dialogue box shows up with the
adjustable settings for the keyboard.
