    Hello i have a FUJITSU A3040

    I bought it over a year ago and never had any problems
    all that changed yesterday

    something happend with my keybord it is not working anymore
    none of the strokes are working
    for the rest the computer is working okay
    i checkt the system and it gives me the tipical measeage
    " this device is working correctly "
    there have been no updates made resently
    did not change drivers did not do anything it just stoped working

    i checked the connection and all is okay nothing seems to be broken

    ( i think mabye my kid pressed some of the button she does this sometimes
    but this should not brake the keybord can it ? )

    i am hoping it is something simple like a button my kid pressed and turned of the keybord
    is there a button to turn of the keybord does anyone know ?

    i realy need my computer can anyone help

    No clue, sorry. Did you take it apart to check that the cable which connects on the back of the keyboard is still connected? Is that what you meant by 'checked the connection'?

    There is a Microsoft app called "Sticky Keys" that can be accidentally activated, and it might be the case here.

    Try pressing both shift keys at once, which should turn off Sticky Keys. It can still be turned on again. But it is some odd key combination.
