Arrow Keys Don't Scroll

[diddlydo]

Lenovo laptop on Windows 7. I must have inadvertently pressed something as all of a sudden I can't scroll with the arrow keys. There's no scroll lock key on the keypad so how do I get the function back as it's driving me mad?

[Old_Geezer]

Not really into laptops; but is there a numlock button ?

[ummmm]

How old is it?

[diddlydo]

Yes there's a number lock button but that doesn't affect the scrolling. Laptop probably 5-6 years old - can't really remember!

I can't help with your specific question but, as the owner of a Lenovo laptop myself, I'm sure they come pre-loaded with a mischievous spirit, hell-bent on driving the user insane with random glitches.

Try pressing f7

I think you are right in thinking that you have pressed something and thereby applied the Scroll Lock. On some Lenovo Laptops it's a combination of Fn + c but on others it could be Fn + k or some other combination.

Tell me the model and number so that I can try to find an answer for you.

Thank you Hans. It's a Lenovo G575.

On page 21 of User Manual it indicates to Enable/Disable Scroll Lock......press Fn + Insert.

Try it and let me know the result.

Tried that Hans - no joy I'm afraid.

Try holding down the Fn key and then try the Arrow keys. Refer to page 16 of the manual.
