Hi Jim.<br><br>You can search into system logs and look for keyboard-related messages, that will provide some hints of errors that could be happening. <br><br>You can try from console:<br>dmesg | less<br>cat /var/log/messages | less<br>
<br>Or from gui you can use the system logs viewer in Applications -&gt; System Tools -&gt; System log<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/12/13 Jim Duda <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:jim@duda.tzo.com">jim@duda.tzo.com</a>&gt;</span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I have a very weird problem.<br>
<br>
Compaq Presario F500. &nbsp;Only about a year old.<br>
<br>
Recently (past few weeks), whenever I boot up, the following<br>
keys are non responsive; asdfjkl; and the enter key.<br>
<br>
If I wait a few minutes, like 3 or 4 minutes, they start<br>
working. &nbsp;If I restart a couple of times, they start<br>
working too, however, I think this is the same 3-4<br>
minute delay.<br>
<br>
It would appear to be a hardware problem (bad keyboard),<br>
however, once the keys start working, I never have another<br>
problem, until the next reboot.<br>
<br>
Could there be some software issue here?<br>
<br>
I really like the laptop, works well, I really don&#39;t<br>
want to take it apart unless I have to.<br>
<br>
Jim<br>
