Move your hands in a swiping motion from left to right all around the keyboard, especially where the semi-colon key is. You want to make sure that no keys are sticking.
If it keeps happening then that means the keyboard is faulty and would need to be replaced.
Semi colon is usually on the right side of L key. May not be at the same position on all keyboards. semi colon looks like this : (two dots) colon looks like this ; (a dot above a coma) To type a semi colon, you have to hold down the Shift key while you press the semi-colon key. Good luck luciana44
Has it always been like this? or you noticed it recently?
The thing is, sometimes the characters on the keyboard are not where they're mentioned. So check all the other keys while holding down the 'Shift'. I am sure you will find your 'colon' under a bracket or a number.
HOME KEYS: Left index finger goes on the "F" (you should feel a small bump on the key), left middle finger --> "D", left third finger --> "S", and left pinkie finger --> "A". Right index finger --> "J" (feel bump), right middle finger --> "K", right third finger --> "L", and right pinkie finger --> ";" (semi-colon/colon key). Both thumbs rest on the space bar While the fingers basically stay on those keys, you stretch up & down for the keys closest to the "home keys" (example: use pinkie for "enter" key on the right; use left index finger for "R" and "T). It takes a little while to get used to this but it's the proper way to type, and it is efficient so once you get used to it, you'll be typing like a pro!!
