I have a HP 430 Laptop and the light on the Caps Lock stopped working. I had to type something to know if the Caps Lock is turned on/off.
To get the HP support I need to get the product # and the serial #, so I removed the battery from the laptop and when I put it back in, the light on the Caps Lock started working again.
Why didn't restarting my computer fix the light? why did I need to remove the battery (and put it back in) to fix it? The problem is fixed, but just curious as to why.
Just a guess; but the inside of keyboards get very funky. Maybe just the process of turning it upside down, giving it a virtual kick by snapping the heavy battery back in, might have dislodged a little bit of krud blocking the led switch connector. – jdh – 2012-02-23T15:49:25.403
