My keyboard is locked and I cant shut it off or move it at all. What do I do?

This can be done by software (locking the keyboard). I'd try a hard reboot, and see if that solves the problem.

If that doesn't work, sometimes keys get stuck down and cause the keyboard to stop working, it's odd but I find pressing (mashing) each of the keys 2-3 times will often fix keyboard issues. I typically start with the common keys like the ctrl, alt, shift, space, enter, etc.

Hope that gets ya moving again.

If you keyboard is locked up and unusable you might want to try rebooting your PC. However since you cant use your keyboard and IF your mouse does not respond either, simply hard boot it by holding in the power button until your PC shuts down. This should cure the problem.
Restart your PC and you should have your keyboard back.
I hope this help you
Thank you

you need two people one to pull the release handle for the hood ,the other needs a screw driver and put it in the latch and pull up to move the latch assy to the open position.

Hi. Please do troubleshooting steps below:

1. Check to be sure your "Number Lock" or "Function Lock" keys aren't lit. These can lock out certain parts of your keyboard. If either of these is lit, press them to unlock the locked portion of your keyboard. These can be found at the top right on a laptop and between the number pad and main keys on a desktop keyboard.

2. Save all open programs using your mouse. Use your mouse to restart your computer. This will only work if your computer isn't frozen. If your mouse doesn't move, press the power button on your Dell until the computer turns off. Press it again to restart. If the issue was lack of memory or a locked program, this will unlock your keyboard. Continue to Step 3 if the keyboard is still locked.

3. Shut down your computer using your mouse or power button. Don't restart. Unplug your Dell.

4. Remove the battery if you're using a laptop by turning the laptop over and sliding the battery release latch. Slide the battery out and replace after one minute.

Have a good one!

Step 2 Save all open programs using your mouse. Use your mouse to restart your computer. This will only work if your computer isn't frozen. If your mouse doesn't move, press the power button on your Dell until the computer turns off. Press it again to restart. If the issue was lack of memory or a locked program, this will unlock your keyboard. Continue to Step 3 if the keyboard is still locked.

Step 3 Shut down your computer using your mouse or power button. Don't restart. Unplug your Dell.

Step 4 Remove the battery if you're using a laptop by turning the laptop over and sliding the battery release latch. Slide the battery out and replace after one minute.

I believe it's the num lock that is causing that locked 9 to illuminate on your keyboard

Wondering if this is what your asking about, I cant find reference to Cable only mode...

- Line 7 : “CHANNEL BLOCKED”
Indicates that all channels are locked except the selected channel.
The following complaints may be generated due to locked channels:
- TV cannot be switched on from standby with the local keyboard buttons.
- “CH+” and “CH-“ buttons on local keyboard do not function.
To disable the LOCK feature:
Select ”FEATURE” menu (with the Remote Control).
Select “LOCK” (with the Remote Control).
Set to “OFF”

Try this:

Shut down, unplug the AC adaptor, removed the battery, and hold the power button for up to 1 minute to discharge.

Make sure there are no stuck keys.

Restart.
