Original Title: The caps lock is messed up.  i cannot get the lock to work on capatilizing or work w/symbols.  i have gone to keyboard and tried to fix the problem, but nothing works.

All of a sudden my CAPS-lock has not been working, when i type in sentences.  if, i put it on by just hitting it for one letter, it does not work.  if, i lock it on, i can get a capital, but still no use of symbols.

    Wireless-Toshiba.  i tried your suggestion, to no avail.  If. I use my right shift key, I can work the keyboard.  But, I would rather have the use of the left shift key, too, again.

    Hi,

    1. Are you working on a wireless keyboard?
    2. What is the make and model of the keyboard?

    You can try the steps below:

    Check if the ‘Caps Lock’ is turned ‘Off’ or ‘On’ in the ‘On-Screen keyboard’.

    How to turn on ‘On-Screen keyboard’

    Try to turn-on the ‘Caps Lock’ on the ‘On-Screen keyboard’ and then type using your physical keyboard to check the status.
