Locked HP Wireless Keyboard no Help from HP

@Prom1950, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
It sounds frustrating to have your wireless keyboard locked. Let's try a few troubleshooting steps to get it working again:

Check the Lock Status: Some wireless keyboards have a "Lock" function (e.g., Num Lock, Caps Lock, or a dedicated lock key). If there's a lock symbol, press the appropriate key to see if it unlocks.

Power Cycle: Turn off your keyboard, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on. Restart your HP desktop as well.

Check the Batteries: Ensure that the keyboard's batteries are not depleted. Replace them if necessary.

Reconnect the Keyboard: Unplug the USB receiver from your computer and plug it back in. Try a different USB port if the current one isn't working.

Re-pair the Keyboard: If the keyboard is Bluetooth, you might need to re-pair it:

  • Go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices and remove the keyboard.
  • Put the keyboard into pairing mode and add it again.

Driver Update: Ensure that your keyboard drivers are up-to-date:

  • Open Device Manager and check under "Keyboards" for any issues with the driver.
  • Right-click and choose Update Driver if needed. 

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.

This Keyboard has none of what you ae asking. I could not even give the Tech I spoke with a Serial number, because it is imprinted on the bottom next to where the Batteries are, and it is so dark I had to take a really big flashight to even see it using a Magnifying glass. The only thing I can tell you why I believe there is nothing wrong with it is when I changed the Batteries, the light under the Caps/Lock Key does come on, then turnes off.
