Is your laptop keyboard misbehaving? If Yes, Read on


Recently my Asus laptop keyboard started typing stuff on its own (Not that I had been tutoring it).
So the only way to use my laptop was to

1. Manually disconnect the keyboard from computer
2. Disable the keyboard in windows

Step 1 involved opening my laptop using screw drivers which was a difficult task for me.

So I disabled my keyboard in windows. Here is how.

Important Note: Before starting make sure that You have a separate USB keyboard connected to your laptop So that you

I opened Device Manager
(Right click My computer icon and select Properties. There is a link on left to open Device Manager.)
Select Keyboard option and right click PS2 keyboard.
Now select update Driver Software.
Select 'Browse my computer for driver software'.
Now select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
Now uncheck Show compatible drivers option.
Now select a company other than your Laptop manufacturer and unusual layout (Toshiba keyboard with 109 keyboard did the trick for me.)
Click Next.
Agree to the warning that your keyboard might stop working.
Install the driver and after restarting the laptop. Your misbehaving keyboard is disabled.


Places to visit in Thane, Mumbai

I was looking for beautiful places to visit in Mumbai. Some I found in Thane are

1. Kopineshwar Temple in Thane
This temple has a huge Shivling and lots of pigeons in the backyard.
Note: Be sure to carry some grains if you want to feed the pigeons in backyard.

Directions: Exit from the Thane station west side and walk straight through the Thane market for 1 km. You will see the temple on your left.

2. Talao Pali or Masunda lake
This is a lake just behind the Kopineshwar temple. It's a good place to sit and enjoy the lake.
There is boating also available.

3. Upvan Lake
This is a beautiful lake around 6 km from Railway station. You can either take an auto or bus from station to reach Upvan lake.
The lake waters is clean and you can walk around the lake to enjoy the beautiful view of Mumbai and the lake.
