Problem with Shift keys

#1 Post by PeterVO » Tue Feb 21, 2006 3:58 pm

Hello,

I've had a T20 for 5 years now and suddenly and strangly both Shift-keys stopped working at the same time. I pulled the left Shift key off and cleaned it but to no avail or is this a Win XP software problem?
What could be wrong and what could be done about it? :(

Kind regards,

PeterVO

you might have enabled sticky keys by accident, that happens when you press shift 5 or 6 times in quick succession

can't remember how to turn it off off-hand, but I don't think your keyboard is broken :)

The options for StickyKeys can be found under "Accessibility Option" at the Control Panel.

Hello,

the sticky keys were enabled but disabling it didn't solve the problem. :cry:
Any other ideas to solve this annoying problem?

Kind regards,
