If Something Goes Wrong

Resolving a hardware conflict

You have connected an external keyboard and the operating 
system displays one or more keyboard error messages.

If you have a second keyboard, try it. If it works, the first keyboard 
may be defective or incompatible with your computer.

Nothing happens when you press the keys on the external 

keyboard.

You may have plugged an external PS/2 keyboard in while the 
computer was turned on. Using the AccuPoint II pointing device, 
click 

Start

, then click 

Shut

 

Down

. When the Shut Down dialog 

box appears, select 

Restart

 and click 

OK

. The computer will 

restart and recognize the keyboard.

The keyboard locks and the computer will not restart.

Make sure the power is on and press the reset button.

AccuPoint II problems

Some of the keyboard problems already listed may affect the 
AccuPoint II. In addition:

Your finger slides off the AccuPoint II easily.

If the AccuPoint II cap is oily, remove the cap and clean it with a 
cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.

To remove the cap:

1

Firmly grasp the cap and pull it straight up.
