    So I got a few ferrets and they have a tendency to walk across my computer. Well I think they may have pushed some buttons on the keyboard and it doesn't work like it used to. When I push the down key, it takes me to the bottom of the page and the cursor (like the one when typing...the little line in front of the words) shows up all the time. Any help?

    There might be ferret poop in there or something.. I can't imagine their feet are strong enough to break the keyboard. Try cleaning the keyboard with compressed air or a vacuum... Or just buy a new keyboard on Ebay. If it is still under warranty take it in and leave out the ferret issue. Just say it "mysteriously" stop working.

    The keyboard works fine, I was just thinking the might have changed settings without knowing it. There is no way there is poop in it...too big and it would be easily noticed.

    Is your 'End' key near the down key?
