• I have a Toshiba Satelitte A505-S6965 Specs are below Issue: I have an issue with my keyboard and trackpad not working after windows loads. Keyboard will work in BIOS but when windows loads it stops working and isn't even in Device manager unless the PS/2 keyboard is the keyboard on this laptop (not sure).
• I've got a Toshiba Laptop and Vista OS. Laptops usually have an American-style keyboard, and Spanish (as well as other languages) requires some special keys that aren't on American keyboards. I cannot make special characters using my keyboard.

(Solved) - Cannot make special Characters on my Laptop using ALT

I've got a Toshiba Laptop and Vista OS. Laptops usually have an American-style keyboard, and Spanish (as well as other languages) requires some special keys that aren't on American keyboards. I cannot make special characters using my keyboard. I check some forums over the internet and they suggest to use the Fn keyboard in combination with ALT, but this trick does not work for me.To get the characters I am using the CHARACTER MAP. Does anyone knows a way to insert this characters using the keyboard?
I will appreciate your help.

Try pressing FN + Numlock (in my laptop, it's the F11 key). This should make your keyboard lock to the numbers, like in my laptop M = 0, J = 1, K = 2, L = 3, etc.

HTH

Thank you Pipo,
The combination of Fn + F11 make my keyboard lock to the numbers, but I cannot still generate special characters such as the 'ň'.

it works with numlock on or off
Are you holding down the fn & Alt keys when you tap in 164?

how'd you make it work? maybe you can share what you did (just in case i might encounter a similar prob with my laptop :D )

What I did it is to update the driver for the keyboard and then lock the numbers ( By clicking Fn + F11) and press the corresponding letters for ALT 164 (ALT + J + O + U).
Thank you again for your help.

I am using a Dell Laptop with a Targus keypad and this is what I have to do to type special characters on the keypad: On your laptop press ALT and hold, then press Fn+ the numerical code for the special character, such as 0242 for a ñ.

Which is the 'Fn' key? I have a Dell XPS 410,w/ Standard keyboard, and don't see this key anywhere. And where can I look up the Character Map ?

Odeho, Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map. Or type 'char' in start search.

Thanks Moderator Team, I figured a) you'd know, and b) it would be easy. Never really looked before, and don't use a laptop.
