It is reported that clean-up keyboard can also be the first mechanical watch with a clear and camera lens dust “balloon” after blowing the dust to clear. He is reminding computer users, cleaning and maintenance keyboard connector plug should be pulled off after the cleaning agent should be selected cleaning agents, so that the keyboard’s metal parts from corrosion. then the keyboard can be used again after drying. You may also do the same thing on screens, mouse or other hardwares.

If you have to replace the keyboard, below are the steps you should follow:1. Remove sticky tape securing the keyboard cable to back of the  HP Laptop Keyboard  . Part of the keyboard cable is glued to the  HP Laptop Keyboard  . Carefully separate the cable from the keyboard.

2. Start peeling off the aluminum protective film and remove it.

3. After the protective film is removed it’s really hard to attach it back to the keyboard because it’s deformed. Most laptop keyboards have some kind of plastic separators. These separators secured on the back of the keyboard. Plastic pins are melted on the back of the keyboard and retain separators in place. Push all plastic pins though wholes on the keyboard. Start removing the separator. The plastic separator has been removed.

4. Before you start removing key caps, make a picture. In order to remove the key cap carefully lift it up with your fingers. Remove the key cap so the hinge underneath stays connected to the  Compaq Laptop Keyboard   . Some big keys have a different design. In addition to the hinge, some big keys (Back space or Space bar for example) might have an additional support bracket. Remove the key cap with the support bracket.

If the external and internal pieces got separated, you can assemble them together. On the following picture you see the lifting mechanism (hinge) assembled. As I mentioned at the beginning, I’m taking this keyboard apart just for fun. That’s why I don’t care about removed parts. If you following this guide to repair the keyboard, I would recommend to keep all hinges in the right order.

7. The keyboard has two sheets laying one on the top of another. Remove the sheet with silicone (or rubber) nipples.

8. Remove the second sheet with traces. Both sheets have been separated from the  Compaq Laptop Keyboard    base. The sheet with traces has two layers and all traces are running between these layers.

How to Play the Piano Using Your Computer Keyboard

Saturday, April 28th, 2012

Every once in a while we run across a cool integration of music and technology.

There is a cool robot playing the saxophone or another improvising drum beats real time. Moreover, Guitar Hero has combined true art with Peavey, the iBand was made for the iPhone to create actual music, a virtual drumset to be used with your iPod is available, and many more.

The MidiPiano Plugin may not be new but is still really cool. Using your regular computer keyboard, you can play every note or key of the piano.

Of course, it would take some time to get used to the placement of the keys, let alone get good at it. Still, it is pretty great for the musician who would either like a break from the real physical piano or perhaps cannot afford one. Furthermore, it would also help any train their ears and abilities…the rest is up to practice.

As indicated on the packaging, the IMN is a mini keyboard. When I mention mini keyboard, I naturally refer to the size of the device, as it is not the same size as a normal PC keyboard. More typical computer keyboard are about 18 x 2 x 8 inches, but this unit is only 5.9 × 2. 3 × 0. 5 inches and weighs in at only 3.2 ounces.

How to use a computer keyboard

Saturday, April 28th, 2012

Whenever you use a computer, you’ll probably use a keyboard. The most common kind is referred to as a ‘QWERTY’ keyboard after the keys on the top row of letters. It was invented by C L Scholes in the 1860s when he was working out the best place to put the keys on a manual typewriter.

Follow these step-by-step instructions to help you get to know what your keyboard can do
So that you can carry out the simple exercises below, you’ll need a document open to type into. Read our guides What is WordPad? and How to open WordPad. Then create a WordPad document and go through the following steps.
Step 1: Have a good look at your keyboard. The most important keys are labelled on the diagram below:
Click here for an enlarged version of the above diagram, which you can print out for easy reference.
Some keyboards, especially those on laptops, will have a slightly different layout. For example, yours might not have a number pad or the delete key may be in a different place. But virtually all keyboards will have these important keys somewhere.
Step 2: The main keys are the letter keys. When you type just using these, you get lower-case print. However, if you hold down a ‘shift key’ (there are two to choose from) at the same time as you type, you’ll get UPPER-CASE letters.
Try typing your name, including capitals (UPPER-CASE) and spaces. The ‘space bar’ (which you press briefly to make a space) is the wide key at the bottom of the keyboard.
Step 3: If you make a mistake in your typing, there’s always a remedy.
To delete a letter, place your cursor (mouse pointer) just after the letter and click. Then press Backspace briefly. (Always press briefly – otherwise, you’ll get repeated deletions, spaces, letters or whatever.) Or place your cursor just before the letter, click and press Delete.
Step 4: Now try typing a sentence:
This is a good sentence to practise because it contains most of the letters of the alphabet.
Step 5: You can move the cursor along this sentence without deleting anything by using the arrow keys:
Try moving the cursor backwards and forwards through your sentence.
Step 6: Now try using the number pad, if you have one.
To use this to type numbers, you have to press the Num Lock key. There may be an indicator light at the top of the keyboard or on the ‘Num Lock’ key itself to show that it’s on.
Step 7: You can also type using the numbers on the main keyboard. You’ll find them on the row of keys above the top line of letters.
Above these numbers are various symbols, which include ‘£’, ‘&’, ‘!’. To use these, hold down the Shift key while you type. So if you press ’7′ on its own, you get ’7′, but if you press ’7′ while you hold down the ‘Shift’ key, you get ‘&’.
Try typing:
You’ll find similar extra symbols elsewhere on the keyboard:
They operate in exactly the same way as the ones above the numbers.
Step 8: If you want everything to appear in upper case, press the Caps Lock key and then type:
Again, an indicator light may come on to show that your capitals are ‘locked’. Don’t forget to press this key again when you’re finished to turn ‘Caps Lock’ off.
Step 9: The ‘Windows’ key comes in a number of different designs, such as the example to the right.
It does exactly the same thing as the Windows button on the taskbar on your computer screen. You can choose to open the ‘Start’ menu by pressing this key or by clicking the button on the taskbar with your mouse.
Step 10: There are a number of ways that you can move round a web page. Try using the keys below to see where they take you:
Step 10: You’ll be told to use the ‘Control’ (Ctrl) and ‘Alternate’ (Alt) keys for some operations. When you do so, keep holding down one or the other key or both keys while you press any other keys.
For example, if you press Ctrl, Alt and Delete all at the same time, a menu will open. To make it disappear, press the ‘Escape’ (Esc) key in the top left-hand corner of the keyboard.
Step 11: Some of the things that you use the mouse for can be done with keyboard shortcuts. These require you to hold down one key while pressing another, and often involve using the ‘Ctrl’ and/or ‘Alt’ keys. Some people prefer using them to using the mouse. There are many shortcuts – check out the list provided by Microsoft Support.

Laptop Keyboard Repair – Replacement

Monday, March 19th, 2012

Before you consider laptop keyboard repair, check out all your options. Why spend all that money if you could do the work yourself? You need to think laptop keyboard replacement not laptop keyboard repair. You potentially could save yourself lots of money. For example, if you happen to own a Compaq Presario, replacing the keyboard is really easy and can be done in just a few minutes. Follow these quick step-by-step instructions to this laptop keyboard repair tutorial.

First, gather your tools. You won’t need many; all you’ll need is a screw driver and a credit card. Yes, I did say credit card, not to purchase anything but to use as a tool to pry up the bezel which you will learn about shortly.

For safety reasons, always make sure you turn off your computer before you start to poke around inside. Now turn it upside down and remove the two screws from the bottom of the computer case. These two screws hold down the bezel which is the bar located right above the “F” keys. Now turn the computer right side up again and take your credit card and wedge it between the keyboard and the bezel and gently pry the bezel up and out of the slots. You want to use something like a credit card that is plastic and has rounded edges rather than say a metal screw driver. You might hear a bit of popping noise as you lift out the bezel but that is normal.

Now you will have the top edge of the keyboard exposed. Take hold of the keyboard at the exposed edge toward the screen and gently lift it up and pull it away from the touch-pad end while slowly flipping it over. You will see the keyboard data ribbon. To remove this ribbon, you need to unlock the little plastic connector that is holding it in place. Do so by pushing down toward the system board and then pull up on the corners. The piece comes straight up, not out, and the ribbon will be released. With the ribbon now free, carefully pull the ribbon out of the connector and remove it along with the entire keyboard.

Finally you are ready to install the new keyboard. Take the new keyboard in your hands and place it upside down so you have easy access to the ribbon. Do not twist the ribbon as this could damage it. Put the ribbon end into the connector and lock it in place by gently pushing down on it. It only goes into the connector one way so there is no confusion about that. Now flip the keyboard over so it is right side up and match the pegs with the slots and push it in place. It is now time to replace the bezel with the two screws. Turn over the computer and replace the two screws you removed from the bottom. Now power on your computer and see if it works. If the keyboard is not working, turn off the computer and check that you properly installed the ribbon and try, try again.
