I have a microsoft wireless entertainment desktop 8000 keyboard and mouse. The mouse works great but the keyboard for some reason has lost its connection to my laptop. The connection is bluetooth and I have bluetooth built into my laptop rather than using the supplied usb bluetooth adapter (which conflicted with other bluetooth signals from mylaptop). I have no idea how to reestablish my connection to my laptop from the wireless bluetooth keyboard and need instruction on how to solve this connection problem...

For the extra buttons to work you will need to install the software that came with the keyboard. If none was provided the instructions will usually tell you a website to get them from.
Here is a link to microsofts site containing downloads for this product.

After the proper drivers / software is installed, the extra function keys should work. If not the keyboard may be defective, or issues beyond the scope of this question may exist such as virus or other interference.

Hello, Welcome to fixya.com

Sorry to hear that your do not have a matching receiver for this set.
The type of transmitter in this set is not compatible with just any actually its programed just for that keyboard mouse combo, However have you tried ebay.com?

See the transmitter in this unit is not like any remote control type of thing so what your thinking of will not work. You could call microsoft with a part number of ther set and see if they could get you a replacement but there is no gaurentee's.


Thanks,

You choose your own code. It's a keyboard right? So it has numbers on it...and an Enter key.
1. Press and hold in the small button next to Bluetooth symbol under the keyboard for 5 seconds. The charge indicator lights at the top of the keyboard should alternate flashing red then green.
2. Search for Bluetooth devices on the devices you wish to connect the keyboard to. The Keyboard should be listed there.
3. Enter a code of your choice into the device you are paring the keyboard to and submit it. I used a 4 digit number which worked without a problem.
4. Type the same code and press Enter on the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 Keyboard.
The keyboard should now be paired with your device.
Good luck, - GregAndo

Yes, you can. Bur you need to insert the dongle to USB port which is came along with the Keyboard. Also install the driver for the same.

You can change in the keyboard program.

Do not use device causing issues. Incompatibility problem.

Go to Youtube and watch the video of key placement on
any microsoft keyboard but you need Eye piece (Lens) to
clearly see the precision parts to repair, dont loose the plastic parts.

try to check whether the drivers are properly installed

ENTER THE BIOS AND ENABLE SET-UP CONFIG. AND REBOOT.RICHARDM69
