Reasons and Solutions for Keyboard Failure II

2024-12-06

The keyboard has become an indispensable tool for office workers, especially programmers. Without the keyboard or if there are problems with the keyboard, it can greatly affect one's work efficiency. So, what are the reasons for keyboard failure? What other solutions are there?

1、 Backlit keyboard cannot be recognized after insertion:

Gamers often encounter newly purchased backlit gaming keyboards that fail to recognize or install when connected to a computer, but can still be used normally when replaced with other computers. For players who spend a lot of money on backlit gaming keyboards, this phenomenon is like pouring cold water.

The main reason for the keyboard malfunction is that the backlit gaming keyboard has stricter requirements for USB power supply compared to regular keyboards due to lighting and programmable design. Due to insufficient power supply to the USB interface of the computer, it is unable to meet the power supply requirements of the backlit keyboard. Players can try using an active USB HUB to save it, and also avoid using the front USB interface.

2、 A single key on the keyboard fails and does not respond:

Compared to the above situations, the malfunction of this keyboard is even more disturbing. The keyboard is functioning normally as a whole, but one or more keys may experience issues such as inability to use or intermittent failure. The main cause of this problem is due to the breakage and virtual connection of the thin film conductive lines inside the keyboard. Players with strong hands-on abilities can use a multimeter to measure and find a broken circuit, and then use conductive paint or pencils to repair it. For ordinary players, it is more convenient and hassle free to simply replace the keyboard.
