Solved Problem with Keyboard

ChanceLoveDance · Jun 7, 2009

Hello all.

I have an HP TX2508ca convertable tablet laptop. I've had it for nine months and it runs on Vista Home Premium 32bit. Just yesterday I removed the keys and cleaned out the keyboard. After fixing the keys back everything was working perfectly. However, this morning things started to go a little crazy. There is only one account on the laptop and that is my admin account which is password protected. My password has the lower case letter " l " in it but they " l " key on the keyboard had stopped working. So I tried to type it in using the on screen keyboard but still nothing. I tried restarting and repairing but still no go. The letter " l " key just simply doesn't work; be it on the regular keyboard or on the on-screen keyboard. So now, I'm locked out of my account because the " l " key doesn't work. Can someone please help me out?

Thanks,

Chance

Hello Chance, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Well, until you can get your keyboard fixed or replaced, you can use METHOD THREE in the tutorial below to reset the password.

Hope this helps,

Hey Brink!

Thanks for the reply but I managed to fix the keyboard. I took it apart again and found an eyelash under it. I removed the eyelash and lo and behold, the letter " l " key works again! Glory hallelujah!

Thanks again for the help!

Cheers,

LOL, all from an eyelash. I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted.
