Keyboard Problems

If you are having trouble with the keyboard, check the

following:

1. If the screen displays a keyboard error message when you

turn on or reset the computer, make sure the keyboard is

securely connected to the computer. See “Connecting the

Keyboard” in Chapter 1 for instructions.

2. If the cursor keys do not work properly, the num lock

function may be on. When num lock is on, the keys on the

numeric keypad work only as numbers. If the

Num Lock

indicator in the upper right corner of the keyboard is lit,

press

to turn off the function.

If you want to change the initial setting of the num lock

function, see “Using the Keyboard and Speaker Options” in

Chapter 2.

3. If nothing happens when you type on the keyboard, see

“The Computer Does Not Respond,” above.

4. If you still have trouble with your keyboard, run the

keyboard diagnostic tests described in Appendix C.
