I am unable to do anything on famcraft because my keyboard is messing up. It started doing this thing where I can't type anything or even use my keyboard. When I try to use a button on my keyboard, all I hear is a *tick* noise. I have no idea what caused this and I have no idea how to stop it from happening. If you have any suggestions as to how to fix it, please tell me. Thanks. Also, I owe LightBulbasaur 40k for doing something for me and I done want to not pay him.

Might you have spilled water (or any liquid) on it? Put it in a bag of rice (if you have that much xD) or just put it on a tray and poor rice all over (make sure it covers every part of the keyboard) and leave it there for a day or 2.

What kind of Keyboard Mechanical, gaming roll-up, egronomic? depends. The "Tick: noise is that the sound it normaly makes?
-
A tick noise from the pc and not from the keyboard? Windows? Try this- press shift 5 times to turn off sticky keys. Hopefully, that's all it is. This has happened to me before too.
-
The keyboard is connected to my laptop, I didn't spill any kind of liquid on it, I've had sticky keys off since before I joined famcraft.
My engineer - father also had no idea what was wrong with it. The Internet also didn't help. All I know is that some of the special keys (ctrl, vol up/down, brightness up/down) work, but they do what they do slower and with more noise. No other key works. Thanks for the suggestions though.
-
Can you boot into safe mode and does the keyboard work there? Do you know how to access the on-screen keyboard you can use with your mouse?
-
My computer doesn't have the on-screen keyboard thing, but my keyboard works fine when I type in my password, but nowhere else.
-
Is it a windows pc? They usually have an onscreen keyboard hidden somewhere in the accessibility settings
So for Windows 7 for example-
Click start
Type "access"
Go to the "Ease of access Center"
Click "Start On-Screen Keyboard"
The reason I suggest this is because it might help you hunt and click around to look for issues.
-
It won't even let me type "access" :'(
-
Oh yeah... :( I'm so sorry.
-
Look at its properties use large icons at the control panel and go to keyboard then look at its properties and look from there
-
Panda, if worse comes to worse, you could always get a new one. They are only about 15$ :3
-
I don't know if this would work but u are able to type your password, correct? What if u typed in your password as "access", copied it, then log in with your real pass, then do everything Anna said (some serious run on sentencing goin on right dere...).
-
That is a very good idea evil :)

The amount of happy I am right now is measurable. I have no idea which one of your suggestions worked (cause I tried them all many times), but my keyboard works now. Like I said, I have no idea how it happened, but it happened so I won't question it. Thank you guys so much for the help. There is no word that can describe how grateful I am. You guys are the best. Thank you Tech, TMG, BoxyBox, Evie and Anna for not giving up and for offering different suggestions. I <3 you guys. Like I said before, there is no word that I can find that will describe how thankful I am that Famcraft is full of nice, awesome, caring people like you guys. Thanks so much <3.
