Oh...oh my god.
Dec. 15th, 2010 11:21 amI've become one of those people. After spending about half an hour on the phone/internet trying to get my computer information so I could register it, because all my info's up in Chicago I finally found out I wasn't even supposed to be talking to Staples (the store), I was supposed to be talking to Acer (the manufacturer). So I called them and talked to the Indian tech support lady and then...
"Have you tried pressing FN and F7?"
"What?"
"The function key and F7."
".............................."
"..."
"Oh my god. You just saved my sanity, thank you."
My touchpad wasn't broken. I'D DEACTIVATED IT. Who knows how, probably a random combination of pressed buttons, but it's working fine now. So nobody is allowed to say anything bad about Indian tech support anymore.
At least my father consoles me. [Seiber] – Glad to hear all is well with your computer. Reminded me of the time I was on the road and some letters on my keyboard only typed numbers. Tech support here finally figure out that I had pressed numlock.
