Dell Studio 1555: missing PAUSE/BREAK key

Hi everybody,

I've just received my brand new Studio 1555 Laptop but I was disconcerted when I noticed that there is no PAUSE/BREAK key. This is a key that I actually need for a few applications.

Could you please let me know which is the shortcut to reproduce the PAUSE key?

Along the same line, it looks like that also the embedded numerical keypad (i.e. small blue numbers on JKL UIO 789) is gone. That was useful to type accented letters with FN+ALT+0234 (and the like). Any way to reproduce that behaviour?

Thank you for your assistance.

H.

Sorry, I couldn't delete the previous message. These are the right values:

to Del key:
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,1D,E1,53,EO,00,00,00,00,00

to F10 key:
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,1D,E1,44,00,00,00,00,00,00

Understanding the "Scancode Map" hexadecimal value, you can remap any key with any keu.

These are the details:
00,00,00,00 this is the header (leave it as four 00s)
00,00,00,00 these are flags (also leave them as four 00s)
02,00,00,00 this is the number of pairs that we will remap starting with 02,00,00,00 for just one pair.
1D,E1,44,00 the first remap all the remaps are in the format 2-byte target, 2-byte original and we want the F10 key (44,00) to become the Pause key (scan code 1D,E1) so F10,Pause.
00,00,00,00 this is the null terminator (leave it as four 00s)

Just for those who couldn't remap Pause key with previous solutions (like me):

I could remap Pause key with the following values:

to Del key:
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,1D,53,EO,00,00,00,00,00

to F10 key:
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,1D,53,EO,00,00,00,00,00

Understanding the "Scancode Map" hexadecimal value, you can remap any key with any keu.

These are the details:
00,00,00,00 this is the header (leave it as four 00s)
00,00,00,00 these are flags (also leave them as four 00s)
04,00,00,00 this is the number of pairs that we will remap starting with 02,00,00,00 for just one pair, 03,00,00,00 for two, 04,00,00,00 for three etc.
32,E0,3A,00 the first remap all the remaps are in the format 2-byte target, 2-byte original and we want the Caps Lock key (3a,00) to become the Web key (scan code 32,E0) so Caps Lock,Web
65,E0,37,E0 the second remap Print Screen key (37,E0) maps to the Search key (65,E0)
E0,20,E0,46 for the final pair the Scroll Lock key (E0,46) is remapped to the Mute key (E0,20)
00,00,00,00 this is the null terminator (leave it as four 00s)

In light of how many people has this issue, one would think the information would be posted on Dell's web site.  Why don't they have a break/pause key.?  Why don't they have the control sequence already coded to a key.

Does anybody from Dell read this??????


I guess we should inundate the Dell executives with these questions.

I assure you mr. Dell would love for you to send the complaint directly to him, because he does not have people for that kind of things.  : )
