Acer Wireless Keyboard Driver Kg-0766

I recently change to win 8.1, everything works fine except my wireless keyboard:- Acer KG-0766. It has another MG-0766 mouse and it works fine. They both have a same Receiver RG-0618U.

It used to work fine in win 7 and win 8 but in win 8.1 when i try to pair it, it does not even get paired. I tried lot and finally find that if i keep pressing the space key i can use all the other buttons, and when i release the space key then 'nb' appears and if i now press any key either the laptop get turn off or the n keep self repeating until i either remove the receiver or the battery of keyboard.

Found the solution to my problem, the fault was in the circuit board of the keyboard which can be reset. Indication: When you reinsert the batteries, the indicator LED on the keyboard does not light up (it should do!). There are two steps to be taken, read them before starting the operation. Tools needed are a screwdriver PH1, a small electrical wire (or paperclip) and a magnifying glass (optional).

Step 1 (reset the circuit board of the keyboard): Remove the batteries and leave the lid open, then remove the 14 screws from the backside. Separate the backside from the key-face of the keyboard by pushing through the open battery compartment. Go around the perimeter of the casing, gently prying it open with your fingers. There are retaining notches at the sides and lower side that will easily give way.

Lay the backside down and remove the two screws with the retaining plate holding the small circuit board Turn the circuit board over and use the magnifying glass to locate the contact node reading Reset. Remount the lid of the battery compartment and insert the batteries from above, mind the polarity. Use the electrical wire to connect the Reset-node to the Ground (the black wire from the batteries) for a second. Release this connection and you should see the LED on this circuit board light up. Remount the small circuit board on its connection strip with the two screws and the retaining plate. Step 2 (reset the USB dongle in the computer): Remove the Mouse/Keyboard USB dongle from the dedicated USB-port and reinsert after 10 seconds, you should hear the computer acknowledging this.

Test the keyboard before closing it by pressing the position of the key with the Windows logo, maybe you have to repeat the reset procedure. Dsheuman, I've had all three issues. The keyboard not working after shutdown, the mouse skipping, and the audio issue. To resolve the keyboard issue is easy. All you need to do is disable windows fast start. But let me tell you what I did to resolve all three issues. I reset the computer to factory defaults.and just started over.

Everything is working fine now. I have all Windows updates installed (except the optional ones). I was using the intel AMT driver before and I had issues.

So I decided not to use it this time, and everything is working fine (I didn't download it from Acer's website). And I don't even see that Intel Technology Service in task manager anymore. More than likely the problem is related to an interaction of Windows updates and iAMT and/or the chipset driver. Addtionally, I use the updated intel video driver directly from intel's website. And I use the updated intel chipset driver (inf) from Acer driver downloads. I can't guarantee my methods will work for you as my computer is a little different than yours. I have Acer desktop TC-605 windows 8.1.

And actually, I have two of them. One hasn't had a single problem and the other is a problem magnet. It could be that I just got lucky.for the moment. But I'm leary of that intel AMT driver. Others have said that installing the intel AMT driver resolved their issues.

Just the opposite in my case. Jillbee53, was kind of shocked to receive an email that you had replied to such an old request, but was deeply thankful. They wanted so much money to buy a new keyboard I couldn't afford it.I thought they would relace it free since I have 15 year old keyboards for other brands that still work.

Anyway, after many trials and failures, I went upstairs and got an old sony keyboard, plugged it in and it.WOW.works and have been using it ever since. The other keyboard is still dongled and it works once in a while, but not those letters that refused from the beginning. Again, I thank you so kindly for your reply and I WILL try to plug into a different USB. EdTouchPC wrote: Here are some pics of the details mentioned in my entry above. Your solution only partially fixes the problem but it does not identify the cause of the problem.

In my case I took out the 2 alkaline batteries and using a multimeter found that 1 of them was faulty. That likely shorted the circuit board. I then followed your instructions, and used 2 fresh batteries (with back holder inserted to hold the batteries in place). I then used a paper clip to reset the board, and the pilot light did come on.

I suspect if I had reinserted the bad battery your fix would not have worked. I then reassembled the keyboard and it is working as I type. Thanks for providing detailed instructions on how to fix the problem. Thank you for caring to respond, that is so kind! Back when this happened to me, I did get brave enough to follow all the insstructions!I truly am just a 'dumb woman', but I did it. I did get it back in operation, but here and there there were letters that just would not type. Yes, I repeated the whole thing again.but, well, my thinking, I may have messed up that rubbery thing that makes contact with each letter.

I gave up, ran upstairs and found an old keyboard I didn't use anymore.plugged it into the keyboard plug on the back and have used it ever since. The mouse still works very well. Thank you again for your kindness.
