How many of ye reading this have had trouble with your laptop? Well I have had a lot, mainly due to me. Today I needed to finish judging the 2011 Social Media awards but I was unable to stick to my timetable as my laptop became grievously ill. The keyboard would not work for me the I could not log on, I opened the “Ease of access” on the log on screen to gain access to the on screen keyboard – wouldn’t work, only button that would work was the backspace.

So more rebooting, five attempts later and the on screen keyboard was working and I managed to log on. I plugged in my 1TB hard drive and selected my C drive – but several other folders would become selected, so I would click on them to unselect them…this resulted in my screen lighting up so now every folder was selected. My laptop before I had to take off all the keys! It was as if I had the ctrl key pressed. “oh no” I said to my hands which were now cupping my face, I have been here before. Last time I had to take off all of the buttons, clean it and then put them all back (there were causalities my right arrow and the key beside AltGr…forget what it was)

I took off the ctrl key and cleaned for dust, didn’t help, so I rebooted. I logged on again using the screen keyboard only and as my keyboard was not working did a drag and drop of my C drive to the external hard drive, phew at last all of my work was save. I left the two hard drives communicate alone for two hours while I looked at the “Tipp Tattler”. After two hours I became bored so went back to the laptop and I did some Reki on it, after 10 minutes I simply pressed both of the ctrl keys and hey presto keyboard working properly!!!

Now I don’t know if it was the Reki or me pressing the ctlr keys or the combo of the two that got my laptop back to life but I do know this…..if your laptop is not working, try, try and try again – reboot, ask tech heads for help say a little prayer ask a Reki Master for help and just don’t give up!!

It is still not back to 100% as it just randomly adds 6’s to my text (which is worrying as yesterday was #rapture) so I wrote it the below apology in keep with my holistic side.
