Z key

Kahlan · May 31, 2005

I have a weird problem with one of my keys. It's the z key on my clamshell
computer. I'm not sure if it had this problem before now, I'm almost positive that it didn't, but can't say for sure.

My OS 9 and OS X are on different partitions. When I use OS 9 the z key works fine, but when I'm on OS X it only works if I press shift and z to give me an uppercase letter. It will not work if I just press z (I get a system sound ping) or use the cap lock.

I'm not sure what to do next. The last thing I did on it was assign the F number keys on OS 9. Any idea's on how to get my key back would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
kahlan

Smae Z-key problem

Hi Kahlan,

Did you ever get to the bottom of your z-key problem? I have the identical problem on my Powerbook. CAPITAL Z is OK; lower case z does not work (I'm typing this on a PC). It MUST be software/driver related.

What did you do?

Cheers

Ray
