Someone hit some random combination of keys that locked up some of the keyboard. A few of them started working but there is still a couple that don't work. Does anyone know how to unlock these keys?:uhh:

There are a few reasons why your keyboard may be locked, such as accidentally pressing the "Caps Lock" key or activating the "Sticky Keys" feature. To unlock your keyboard, try pressing the "Caps Lock" or "Num Lock" key to see if that resolves the issue. If not, try using the "Fn" key or a combination of keys to toggle off any activated features.
If certain keys on your keyboard are not working, try cleaning the keyboard with compressed air or a soft cloth. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the keyboard or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
Yes, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot a locked keyboard. First, check if the issue is with the physical keyboard or the computer itself. If it's the physical keyboard, try connecting it to a different computer to see if it works. If it does, the issue may be with your computer's settings or drivers. You can also try restarting your computer or updating the keyboard drivers.
In rare cases, a virus or malware can cause a locked keyboard. If you suspect this may be the case, run a virus scan on your computer. If the scan detects any threats, follow the recommended steps to remove them and see if that resolves the issue. If not, you may need to seek professional help to remove the virus.
If your keyboard is still locked after trying the above solutions, it may be a hardware issue. You can try using an external keyboard or contacting the manufacturer for further assistance. If your keyboard is still under warranty, you may be able to get it repaired or replaced for free.
