Thank you for your prompt response and link. In desperation I downloaded another version of MalaRom 2.3.3 this one for the Samsung 2gb (even though I had the 4gb upgraded memory) flashed it and by God it worked. The keyboard is fine now. I am so relieved. Getting my M701 updated has taken me the better part of two days. Again thank you, I don't know what I'd do without this Forum. I got my Haipad two years ago for Christmas and now it works even better than new. Merry Christmas to you. Marie the GeekyGrandma
