Meanwhile, 

Here's what you need to do, to identify the issue and resolve it accordingly:

• If not done already, check if it works fine on the BIOS screen to identify if it's either a hardware or a software issue:
  • If it works fine on the BIOS (Accessed while tapping F10 during a restart) it's a software issue & I suggest creating a new user account to check if that works better, for starters)
  • However, if it doesn't work within the BIOS either, I'm afraid it's a hardware malfunction.

Thank you for your answer!  Luckily, it was resolved by re starting a couple of times.  Since I use Windows 7, I have until the end of this year, then .... PooF!  

I appreciate someone "being here" regardless of  how silly the question was,  because it matters.
