Which arrow key there are 12 keys with arrows on them. I can tell you how to take it apart, if it fails, it is your risk.

271169 2004-09-11 04:00:00 Depending on the guts of the keyboard, I would take all the screws out of the back and wipe the key pads and the board they hit apon. It should be an easy job. Rob99 (151)
271170 2004-09-11 04:12:00 Yeah it's not something that can be stuffed up easily.

Probably the fault is some moisture - tea, coffee etc got into it

271171 2004-09-11 04:15:00 Or quietly lever out the offending key and see what is stuck under it. drb1 (4492)
271172 2004-09-11 04:31:00 Actually both sides of the arrow doesn't work.

Up,down,left right doesn't work.And on the right hand side of the keyboard where the numbers are.Those arrow doesn't work either.

Is it just something loose inside?

271173 2004-09-11 04:39:00 The arrows only work within an application that supports them.

Where are you trying to make them work in?

Have you got the right keyboard selected in Windows? (101 key keyboard)

The fact that none work suggests that the problem is NOT in the keyboard.

271175 2004-09-11 04:43:00 All the navigation keys are not working .

Try someone elses keyboard first . 8 keys do not jam at once .

Is this a keyboard that has software like intelli type . there are settings and drivers for those boards .

There may be some issue there, corrupted driver ect, or it dead, test with another to see .

271176 2004-09-11 04:45:00 I think she has been using the keyboard for about 3 to 4 years.Its a keyboard which requires drivers.A hewettpackard keyboard.The keyboard has functions like volume control shortcut buttons etc yingxuan (3330)
