| 786758 | 2009-06-28 23:10:00 | Hello everyone, i have the logitech wave keyboard and my qwer row doesn't seem to work when i hold shift. Also i have found out that my second (or right) shift key is held i can't get the arrows < and >. I have to turn on caps lock just to type an uppercase. I'm using the operating system window's Xp professional. thank you. |

| 786760 | 2009-06-28 23:37:00 | Hello i don't think my keyboard is dying because i recently got it. it's been with me for no more than 3 months. I also found a similar topic with the same problem but it was a different OS on this website. Which is why i brought my problem here. forums.pcworld.co.nz thats the topic =) |

| 786761 | 2009-06-28 23:46:00 | That issue was fixed by giving the keyboard a whack - eg it wasn't a software issue. Just cause your keyboard is new doesn't mean it can't be faulty - occasionally it happens. That's what warranties are for. :) I'd try your keyboard on another PC, see if the problem persists. If it's only 3 months old then it's under warranty, so you'll have no cost incurred to get it replaced. |

| 786762 | 2009-06-29 00:00:00 | Well lets say i lost my warranty would should i do ? (i am looking for at the moment) but i don't want to depend on the warranty :( thanks |

| 786763 | 2009-06-29 00:03:00 | If it's faulty chances of it being economical or even possible to fix are very slim. You ought to be able to RMA it without your original invoice, where did you buy it? |

| 786765 | 2009-06-29 00:17:00 | Ah right, you're not in NZ then? Have they shut down? Tried to access the US site but get a message saying they are no longer operating. If that's the case, contact Logitech support directly. |

| 786766 | 2009-06-29 00:21:00 | Well actually, i'm in kuwait where there is an open Virgin Mega store :p. Wouldn't the system restore of XP fix the problem as it did in the vista version from the link i put up ? :x |

| 786767 | 2009-06-29 00:24:00 | Ah, OK. It looks to me like the person in that thread didn't actually try the restore, they just gave a keyboard a hit. It can't hurt to try a restore, but it's extremely unlikely this is a software issue. Is the Virgin store in Kuwait an online store, or a actual shop? |
