Keyboard Issues..

So i used my open laptop as a sort of tray whilst carrying things down the stairs...

And I've just attempted to type something, but now it will not type.

It does however now have sound effects when i press the keys



Currently posting via mobile, any help would be appreciated

try do a quick reboot of the OS. Hold down the power button for five secs, then turn on again. see if anything has changed...

Look for and hold down the "fn" key on your keyboard and at the top of your keyboard look for a key that has either a keyboard or a lock symbol on it, then press it while holding the "fn" key.
That should unlock your keyboard.

Well, at least you didn't break the retractable cup holder, right?

I was taking a practice exam for comp TIA a few weeks back and one of the questions was exactly what you are describing. I cant quite remember what the answer was now

I would be massively helpful if you had mentioned what operation system you are running. There is an onscreen keyboard you can use but as you didnt say what operating system you have i cant tell you how to access it.

Have you tried removing the battery for a few mins?

If you have windows you could have turned on stickly keys. Just click shift 5 times in a row and it should turn it off.
