My @ key stroke on my laptop is not recoginized...

  • all the other hey strokes work fine but not the @ so I can't type in my email address. How do I change it?


  • thanks to all...


  • My German keyboard has the @ sign at "alt Gr" with Q. "Alt Gr" is a key to the right of the space bar. The "Alt Gr" (= alternate upper case) is a misnomer, it shifts to symbols adjacent to the primary item on the key, {[ for example on the keys for 7 and 8, or on the M key. If you are using Word (and probably other text software) you can click on a field at the top of the screen (mine is German: "Einf gen": insert, symbols, ...?) and find the @ and give it a two key code, say, "ctrl A". I don't know if this will work when you are in your email account. It doesn't work for me here or there with non-English letters I have coded.


  • My @ sign is two keys along to the right from the L key and produces ' when I click it (with or without the Shift being pressed). I have tried very key near it and they all work except for the # key . My key board is not dirty, all keys actually work, but simply doesn't produce the @ sign.


  • Perhaps this will solve the problem. Problem: Dirty Keyboard Resolution: Clean Keys 1. Pry up keys and use alcohol to clean area under keys. 2. Replace keys


  • what keyboard layout are you using? in the U.S., most keyboards have the @ sign as what is produced when you hold shift and hit the 2 key above the letter keys.


  • another thought -- the key two keys to the left of the 'L' on U.S. keyboards is the ' key. maybe your computer has an incorrect keyboard layout active?


  • Hi Where is your @ key located? On most keyboards it is 2 keys to the right of "L". The reason I am asking is, on my keyboard the @ key is printed on a different key, which does not work. However, if I press the key 2 keys to the right of the "L" key, which is marked with something else, I actually get the @ sign.


  • that should read KEY strokes not hey strokes


  • Many thanks to amglasgow-ga - I tried using shift 2, it worked!
