Unexpected Scroll Lock issues

My T400 laptop will suddenly act as if the scroll lock is on. 
I cannot turn off the scroll lock when I am using the laptop keyboard; in that situation I must log off and reboot. 
 I can stop the scroll lock when the laptop is docked and I am using an external keyboard.  When I disengage the scroll lock, the scroll lock light turns on and operates backwards until the laptop is rebooted.
Please advise if this problem has a fix.  (One of my co-workers also experienced this on the same model laptop.)

I got this problem on excel running under Parallels
Finally got it, I hope it helps:
Or, if you're working on Windows on a mac via bootcamp or virtualization software (Fusion or Parallels), you can either do:
fnaltF12
Or go to:
Start->All Programs->Accessories->Accessibility->On-Screen Keyboard

  • Excel arrow keys stop working (NOT SCROLL LOCK)

    Excel Office Pro Plus 2013 on windows 7 64 bit.
    This has happened since I loaded it.. older excel never has this issue on same host.
    When I am working in a spreadsheet and moving around with arrow keys.. they stop working randomly.
    It is NOT scroll lock... I can turn scroll lock on and off no effect.
    IF I change to another tab then back to the same tab .. the arrow keys work again!!!
    This happens in many spreadsheets... seems like the larger they are the worse it it.. VERY annoying and makes it unusable!!
    I have all the latest patches and have rebooted .. this has been going on since I loaded excel.. I was hoping a patch would fix it.. 
    but it keeps happening randomly... 
    ANY ideas?

  • Excel scroll lock problem

    No matter what I do, I can't turn the scroll lock off on Excel. It was all working fine until today. I assume I accidentally hit a wrong combination of keys.
    In any case, it is driving me mad. I have wireless keyboard with buttons up to F12, so the F14 fix that I have read about doesn't work for me.
    Please please please help. This is consuming me.

    Hi,
    possible solution - worked for me
    I had the same issue on a macbook pro.
    As the macbook keyboard has no f14 key I had to find a workaround.
    Here we go:
    I downloaded "big screen keys" (virtual keyboard), installed, hit f14 on the onscreen keyboard and saved a few thousand mouseklicks.
    Big screen keys is freeware. I hope it works for you.

  • My keyboard has gone haywire, shift keys and scroll Lock keeps turning on by themselves!

    Hello, recently I have a problem typing with my laptop. Mutliple times a day, both of the shift keys, and the scroll lock key turns on by themselves. These are the problems I face when typing: 1. Unwanted text is highlighted2. Letters are capital although caps lock is not on.3. When I try to browse in Google Chrome, text gets deleted and random windows start to pop up4. For some reason the word "QWEPRUIO" starts appearing sometimes when I type.
    5. Someimes while I type, suddenly the text gone missing and an asterik * appears.6. Also when this happens, my wi-fi gets turned off automatically. IT guys at my work place tried fixing it but we can't seem to find the problem source.Please help me, this is getting rather annoying especially I am using the laptoo for work!It took me more than half an hour to type a decent email to my client  Thanks!

    By any chance did something get spilled onto the keyboard (even a small amount)? Liquids can definitely cause this type of issue (Trust me, I know from experience, I have kids.). If you rule that out then open the System Preferences and click on the Keyboard settings, put a check in the 'Show Input menu in menu bar' box. This will add a menu bar pull down menu that will allow you to 'Show Keyboard Viewer.' If you select the 'Show Keyboard Viewer' option does the keyboard layout match the keyboard you are using? When you press the keys you are having issue with does the corresponding key light up on the keyboard viewer? Please post your results.

  • Scroll Lock function with ultra thin mac keyboard

    In the Boot Camp Installation Guide (on pg. 17) there is a table showing PC key commands and the corresponding Apple keyboard commands for both external and built in keyboards.
    The table shows F15 to be the single stroke for scroll lock.
    Yet, I can't seem to get it to work.
    We want to use the scroll lock function to work with x-Fire while playing Halo to chat with other players (something that is easily done on a pc).
    I tried some of the other Apple commands -- and get no response from any of them.
    Suggestions?
    Danty

    I realized it is simply a matter of Windows not recognizing the Mac keyboard.
    Anyway the warning window went away and isn't an issue any longer.
    The keyboard works just fine.

  • Lenovo W510 scroll lock stuck - no scroll lock key

    I know this has been brought up before, but I cannot remove the scroll lock from Excel as there is no scroll lock button.  I have tried Fn+C, Fn+delete to no avail.  It must be there somewhere??

    Hi, Anton8
    I did some research and found this document from Microsoft that may help. If Scroll Lock is turned on, but there is no Scroll Lock on your keyboard, then you may want to try using the On-Screen Keyboard and see if it is enabled there, There is also a setting on the status bar that should allow you to disable it.
    Hope it helps,

  • Scroll lock on apple keyboard

    Is there a way to mock a "scroll lock" on an apple keyboard? I need it for a remote linux app.
    Thanks!

    I have the exact same keyboard and issue. SHIFT+F14 did not work. I also saw another suggetion for CTRL+F14. That didn't work either. I've tried a bunch of keys and sequences to try and find it by chance, but no luck so far. Did anyone ever find a fix or workaround? Is there a key mapping software or app that would let me make a key sequence to match that of a scroll lock under Windows? I'm brand new to the mac world so any info on how to go about finding a fix would be helpful too. Thanks!
    Oh, one other thing, somewhere I saw mention of an "extended keyboard" for the mac that includes a scroll lock key. Anyone know what that is all about? I would assume that the mac keyboards can send the Windows scroll lock command if the exteneded keyboard can do it.

  • X1 Carbon Scroll Lock

    Hi
    Having a issue with Scroll Lock on the X1.
    I have talked with Lenovo support and they tell me that Fn + C should turn on and off Scroll Lock but that does not work. Have the latest Hotkey Features Integration for Windows installed and running Windows 7 Enterprise Sp1. If i connect a external keyboard i can turn on and off Scroll Lock with the Scroll Lock-key.
    Anyone with same or similar problem?

    Also you can bring up the onscreen keyboard to turn it on and off.

  • Scroll Lock key missing on a W540

    Well, we do have many things missing on this Workstation (see other comments), but here is the latest discovery.
    All last week I needed to do some cross referencing of Excel worksheets and Access databases.  I use "Synkronizer", and excellent Excel comparator who's author fears piracy and links the application to the machine and checks EVERY USE!.  So I'm not at liberty to move the application easily.
     When needed I export an Access table to Excel, and compare, merge, etc, then reimport into Access or work in Excel....  Long story. BUT the issue.  ^K (Ctrl-K)  which is the cryptic Scrl-Lock key on this so called workstation with 4 dumb wasted keys in the upper right hand, does not work within two Excel sheets.
    The work around is within Excel, using [Syncronized Scrolling], and [View Side by Side]. BUT now it forces an horizontal scroll, when a vertical would be desireable. What a pain!
    After I got back, I tested the same thing on my desktop, WITH A REAL SCROLL LOCK KEY, and it worked correctly.
    If there was a REAL scroll-Lock key on the W540, this would not be an issue.
    What is the point?
    The W540 is NOT a Workstation. If you do not program, work in Excel or Access, then this is a moot point.  The W540 is a dumb terminal for cloud applications, surfing, eMail, watching YouTubes and videos.
    For this one, there is really NO workaround.
    Am I wrong?  Has someone tested the multiple windows scrolling on Excel, and locked from the keyboard two sheets?  I also discovered a similar issue when comparing two ASCII files in my editor.

    Yes, I noticed this as well. The workaround I have is, go to Windows and search for "On Screen". You will get to the On Screen Keyboard where you can toggle the Scroll Lock.

  • Why has HP decided to remove the capslock/numlock/scroll-lock LED indicators.

    On several new Touchsmart(Envy 23 TS)/Omni27 models, the bundled keyboard does not have a LED indicator for capslock/numlock/scroll-lock.
    I understand that the HP My display solves this issue by providing briefly appearing popups on screen, however at the Login screen these do not appear for W8.
    My only question is this:
    Is there a reasoning behind this decision to exclude these indicators?
    Thanks for the provided feedback in advance.

  • Report Designer Locking issue

    Hi,
       We have found locking issue while accessing same report(Created in Report Designer) by multi users at a time .
       Has anyone face this issue and How to fix it. It's major concern because same report can be accessed by multiusers at  same time
    Thanks
    Siva

    Siva,
    only one person at a time has permission to open the report in the Report designer - just like with Queries in the query designer.  This should not have any effect on you actually executing the report in the portal - multiple people can do it then.
    this is a security issue that other software vendors use as well - just like you cannot open any MS Office files on the network for editing that someone has opened already.
    Thanks
