    Never seen that before. The scroll lock and numlock are light up and caps lock is continuosly blinking. I can not turn off any of the key but the numlock and caps lock are working in the background. Any idea if its a symptom of some failure or anything?

    That's cool.. I didn't know they put out codes like cars! When I clicked the link, I expected something like bad keyflex or sommething.
