Wired keyboard usually do not have locks, However some wireless keyboard do. A switch is usually on the top side of the keyboard that slides back and forth.
However you may also be seeing "Caps Lock" which means the Caps lock key is engaged. Simply press the "Caps Lock" key again to unlock it. The caps lock key is located at the left side of the keyboard.
Try this. Press: Start>Accessories>Accessibility>On Screen keyboard. Try turning it off from there. If that doesn't work:
1. Choose Start'Settings'Control Panel and double-click Regional and Language Options.
2. In the Languages tab, click the Details button.
3. In the Settings tab, you should see a button called Key Settings. It may be grayed out. If it is, click the Add button and add another keyboard layout (it doesn't matter which one). Press OK.
4. Back in the Settings tab, click to make sure your original keyboard is highlighted and press the Key Settings button.
5. Now under To turn off Caps Lock, click the radio button next to Press the Shift key. Click OK.
6. Click OK twice more to exit the other two dialog boxes.
Caps Lock will be on the left hand side of the keyboard and probably above the shift button and below the tab button. It's usually labelled as 'Caps Lock' or as an arrow pointing up.
There shoudl be a Caps Lock button on your keyboard....look on the left side of your keyboard between the Tab and Shift buttons.
Also, one way to see if your Caps Lock is on is to look on your keyboard, typically in the upper right hand corner and look for a light eminating from your keyboard and it should look like the letter A inside of an image of a palock, if the light is on then Caps Lock is on, just hit the Caps Lock key to turn off.
brand new Compaq 620 the keys stopped working. FIrst with 6,7, "_", then some other character keys also stopped working. Please let me know how to fix it.
You need to press the Function button, then the num lock button. The function button may be labeled FN or F in a different color, the same color as the num lock button.
If that doesn't work, go to start, all programs, accessories, accesibility, on screen keyboard....it will display a regular keyboard on your screen, then click on the num lock key on that keyboard.
On some keyboards, there's a hidden 'feature'
where if you hit CAPS LOCK and Shift at the same time, everything works
backwards, until you hit that combo again.
I have the HP Pavilion and cap locks does the same thing.
THIS WORKS EVERY TIME. Hit both the right and left shift lock simultaneously about 5 to 10 times. It immediately disengages the cap locks. It is a little bit of a hassle, but I'm just used to it. It may happen 3 times per week, but I LOVE the machine, so I just fix it this way!
