keyboard trouble 7422GX

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hi. i have a 7422GX whose keyboard just went haywire. First, the f8 key snapped off. i'll figure out how to snap that back on soon, but i wonder if that affected everything else on the right side. i'm only able to type there by using fn + letter to get the blue character. None of the letters actually works, making typing very slow. what to do/ call BB or gateway/ to illustrate, i'll type the same paragraph without using fn

Turn your numlock off (Fn+scroll)

Oh boy, thanks. I guess that's pretty much the dumbest question I've ever asked. I appreciate your sparing me the ridicule of the BB people. I guess I freaked when F8 snapped, which I still haven't gotten back on. Thanks much!

No worries. I think we have had this question pass through here before. Hope you get the F8 key snapped back in and nothing is broke. Best of luck!
