Print Screen
9 years ago
My Print Screen key stopped working. I'm using an Arctosa Razer, same keyboard I've been using for ages, and yesterday, the key just stopped working.
I checked online, no one seems to know how to do it, all the times the issue showed itself was a feature only present either on wireless keyboards, or keyboards with an Fn key. Which I don't have.
Both my Insert key and PrSc key stopped. What can I do to fix them!? D:

Might be able to use some software to remap the keys or to make shortcuts of the key functions.

Based on the description, test it on another computer. If the keys still aren't responding, then the contacts beneath the keys have failed and will need repaired. This process will vary depending on the type of keyboard you have, and availability of parts. (contact vs microswitch/mechanical). You may have to open up the keyboard and bend the contacts back out, clean them. Either way it's not a quick fix. If you're fine using different keys for the same purpose, there's software like autohotkey, etc which you can use to make a small program to run on the side to execute the same key command when a different key is pressed.

OP
I'll try opening up the keyboard. Back when my keyboard went fritz, all I did the day I was gonna throw it out was open it to remove the junk in it, and I just cleaned the circuit board there and it literally fixed it all.
