Ask Superquad7 | Laptop keyboard issue Maybe someone more tech-savvy than I can help me out. I just bought one of those felxible keyboards for school and work when I travel with my laptop. I love it. However, just at home I don't need it, and here is the problem. When I unplugged it to just use the built in keyboard on the laptop, half the keyboard works, the other types random numbers (i.e. j=2, k=3, etc). Weird. I shut down the computer and let it rest, and it still did not help it upon restart. I am sure there is a very simple solution; can someone run it by me?
Thanks!  Feedback - Jeremy.B (formerly Sunnyday77) |

Don't know how to turn it off, but it that's the case, I'd bet the solution is in the control panel. I take care of people who jump out of planes and kill foreigners for a living. I have the best job in the world. Feedback here! Criminals are HOT. DO YOU LOVE SPIDERUS PRIME? |

Maybe something like that? I take care of people who jump out of planes and kill foreigners for a living. I have the best job in the world. Feedback here! Criminals are HOT.

I'm so overcome with emotion, I'm going to go write a poem about it. I take care of people who jump out of planes and kill foreigners for a living. I have the best job in the world. Feedback here! Criminals are HOT. DO YOU LOVE SPIDERUS PRIME? |

Ask Superquad7 | And while you do that, I will post every few minutes about the buttons I push and the updates I do on my computer, you know, to keep everyone up to date on my computer repairs...
I'm also very disturbed that I missed the whole function keys + number lock on the laptop...  Feedback - Jeremy.B (formerly Sunnyday77) |
