TROUBLE SHOOTING back to top

  1. If your keyboard is not responding, check to see that the correct driver is installed (if appropriate), and that the connector is securely plugged into the correct port in the computer. Also, check to see if there are any breaks or sharp twists in the keyboard cable.
  2. If your USB keyboard does not respond, first make sure that your computer is turned on. If you connected your mouse while your computer was shut down, try disconnecting and re-connecting the mouse while the computer is turned on.
  3. Keep all items away from direct sunlight, moisture, dirt, extreme heat, and abrasive chemicals (cleaning solutions).
  4. If any liquid is spilled on the keyboard or mouse, switch off your computer immediately and unplug all items. Turn the keyboard upside down to drain the liquid.
    1. If the liquid is water, simply let the keyboard dry before using it again.
    2. If the liquid is a sticky substance, drain the liquid and then completely wipe the keyboard with a damp cloth. Allow the keyboard to dry completely before reconnecting it to the computer.
  5. For optimum performance, keep your keyboard clean and free of debris, such as food crumbs or dust. Keyboards should be cleaned on a monthly basis, with “spray and wipe” cleaner applied to either a cloth or tissue. Be sure the computer is turned off before cleaning.
