Well, I'm having more tech problems.

My wireless keyboard has been acting up for the past thirty minutes. The first time it was acting up it wouldn't let me type any letters. So I thought "The batteries must be low" I've just replaced them and my keyboard is still acting up.

Any help here?

Restart the computer or try and unplug/replug the receiver.

I have no idea where the reciever is. I'm trying to find it but I can't. I've restarted the computer at least 3 times due to this problem and it still doesn't work.

Is it working or not? In the shoutbox you said it was.

dude, this happend to me before

wireless keyboards eat batteres sometimes.

are you sure it's not being pressed?

also, rechargable batteries seem to work better

I'm sure that it's not being pressed. I'm looking at the key while I'm pressing it.

the reciever is the USB plug that you put in to recieve the wireless signal. it looks like an oversized flash drive. find it and make sure it's plugged in good or unplug and replug it

Try reseting the signal for the keyboard :)

Kinda funny how no one said that lol thats like the first thing I'd do other than maybe check the batteries but most wireless setups (like keyboard and mouse) a lot of times have a battery indicator thing :)

Some keyboards allow you to change the frequency with a switch (usually marked 1 or 2). If not then press the button on the wireless receiver then the button on the keyboard (usually found underneeth), this will re-synchronise the keyboard and receiver and will hopefully work.

If that fails, make sure the bettery terminals are clean, if there's any rust or battery acid on there, it will cause a bad connection or a high resistance meaning the keyboard wont be getting enough power.

Or if you still have problems with the wireless keywords use a wired keyword
