Title: iPaq folding keyboard
Post by: Timelord on February 16, 2007, 04:08:06 PM
Greetings

does anyone know of a source for a British driver file for the iPaq folding keyboard.

I have a British keyboard but the latest driver from HP is only a US keyboard.


Thanks

it's a long time since I've used mine, but I seem to remember there was only one driver, which is this one:

Newer driver posted below

Is your iPAQ set to English (United Kingdom) in settings, regional settings?

Greg

hank you for the reply.

I have downloaded this file but still only get US keyboard layout.

I used to have an iPaq 2470 running Windows Mobile 2003 which worked fine with this KB, now I have a 2790 running WM5. The settings are for the UK.

The touch screen KB works fine but the Folding KB refused to give me the English layout.

Any ideas would be appreciated. A hack into the registry perhaps?

Thanks in advance.

There are so many numbers on thie back of this thing, but here goes.

The Model No is G750.
There are two parts numbers shown (Assy and Sps)
The first is 249711-032, theecond is 250060-031.

NONE of the above numbers apear on the HP website but the keyboard seems identical to the FA118A keyboard (this number does not apear on my keyboard!)
