cross posted in computer forum

i apologize in advance for the poorly typed post

i messed up something on my laptop and cant type periods commas et cetera

i was cleaning the keyboard and hit some odd key combination that apparently locked out some of the keyboard functionalty

toshiba is no help and best buy says i need to bring the laptop into a store

nearest store is some distance away

the scrolling is locked

caps lock works in reverse

mouse functionality works backwards < as in if i right click on something then the pc responds
as if i had left clicked

number keys act as if shift is always pressed !@#$%^*()

function key also works backwards < for example under normal circumstances if i hit "function U"
then then cursor moves one space to the left (same as hitting the left arrow key) but now when
i hit the U key the cursor moves one space to the left

if i want to type a U then i have to hit "function U"

help what the [censored] did i do to this thing

Exactly how much water did you pour over the keyboard to clean it? Did you let it soak in the tub for a while?

make sure you did not turn off numLock.

i'm sure you tried this, but have you cleared cookies & rebooted? leave off for 30 seconds

GL!

Fixed it. It was a feature that locks the Function key. FWIW on the Toshiba Satellite that is toggled on and off by hitting Function-F11.
