CAPS LOCK and mouse problems on an HP Pavilion dv5000??????? How did you fix it??????

Question

I have an HP Pavilion DV5000 notebook (bought in April 2006). Over the past month or so, I've been having frequent instances of Caps Lock/mouse problems. When Caps Lock is on, the type is in lower-case, and when Caps is off, the type is upper-cased. Regardless of the case or SHIFT being held down, the top row of numbers types only the symbols.

My mouse is acting strange as well - left-clicking doesn't work well (one click will select everything in a folder/page/document). The mouse wheel isn't scrolling up or down, but acts as back/forward in a browser.

These happen both at the same time and suddenly, unexpectedly, and regardless of what I'm doing: e-mail, web browsing, chatting, etc.

Restarting the PC fixes it, but it usually reverts back to this problem in a matter of time; this problem happens practically daily. I've already tried the Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager, then to "Uninstall" the "Quick Launch Buttons," then restarted comp... all to no avail

Answer 1

one of your shift buttons is stuck down or broke that's why caps lock does the opposite and why the top numbers are giving you symbols instead of numbers

Never heard of that problem... Personally, I'd return it for replacement, and if the forst poster's reply and directions don't work, you may have to.



Mind, since the computer is two years old... Unless you bought a 3 year warranty, you might have to pony-up for a repair bill, or replace it if it becomes bad enough.



Good Luck!
