Title: I almost forgot to post this
Post by: Jessie on May 08, 2005, 09:36:42 PM
I was about to lay down to read when I remembered that I had a question.

My keyboard has three buttons that are the most frustrating thing in my life right now (haha, yeah right!).

They are:  Power, Sleep, and Wake.

I tend to regularly drop, knock over, step on, drop things on, and otherwise abuse my keyboard.  One or all of these buttons get pushed when this happens.

My computer goes into sleep mode, but the god damn thing won't ever wake back up.  I have to hold in the power button on the tower for ten seconds or whatever to shut it down, and then restart.

Is there a way to disable these keys or to actually make the wake button work?

I think so on one, not sure on two.

Thanks! Now that I got a reply, I'm going to lay down and read.

Swap out the keyboard with one that doesn't have those buttons.
