Hello everyone this is my first post I have got a lot of great info on this site.

My issue is that when I am typing a text or email i used to push the alt key hold it down and hit a number key while holding down the alt key and the number would type. for some reason today now i have to hit the alt key let it go then hit a number key and it types in. how do i get it back the way it was i got used to it and now its a hassle to type. any suggestions?

I'm guessing its just a glitch. Try pulling the battery.

sometimes the entire keyboard can shift a little, try sliding it around and if it clicks back into place you know the key was not directly on top of the button.

you don't use num lock for strings of numbers?

I usually press alt key and the key with an up arrow (next to 0), it will allow you to input a string of numbers. Press alt key to cancel this mode.

no need to hold the key down.

I've always just done ALT and then the Key rather than a combo keypress. I've always found the holding keypress to be flakey for me.
