yellow normally indicates sleep or hibernate, have you tried to press keys on the keyboard to see if it wakes up? have you tried just pressing the power button once?
if keyboard problem on netbook. my best suggestion is to use external USB keyboard.
Their are lot of usb keyboard on a retail store which is very handy.
Did the old keyboard plug into a PS2 keyboard socket (round purple connector) or into a USB port (flat rectangular connector)? Similarly, what type of connector is the new keyboard?
If it is the round PS2 connector you may have connected into the green PS2 mouse socket instead of the purple keyboard socket. Although the sockets are similar, they work differently.
If it is USB, then try moving it to a different USB port.
Try the keyboard on another PC.
If you cannot get it to work then replacement keyboards are very cheap.
Hi,
Disconnect the power cord from the back of the system. Press and hold down the power button for 10 seconds.
Disconnect everything from the back of the computer ,except keyboard, mouse and monitor.
Reconnect the power cord and then check
I think the only solution is to phisically remove the key from the keyboard - VERY gently, in order not to break or send flying the pieces to which the key is attached. The little rubber button underneath might be squished below those pieces.
I have a dvd/rw,in my emachine, the device manager says it's working properly,yet it will not read any disc i put in it, accept a disc cleaner cd and i have cleaned the drive three or four times, when i put in a cd or dvd, the light comes on like it's trying to read it, but it doesn't, please help me, thanks
Make sure the power is completely off. Turn the power back on. Try using Esc key, F1, or the delete key. If you press the wrong key, it will give yoiu a keyboard error indicating an option to press the correct key. I'm pretty sure one of those keys will work on an emachine.
