Button not working

Hi there,

Small issue here, but when I try to use the Print screen button, it will not let me use it.

I'm using a laptop AND have tried alt-prt sc and those methods, but not working.

Tried it. No luck.

Perhaps you need a photo of my laptop?

I'm going back to basics here.... You press the PrtSc / SysRq, then what?


As I said - Basics. To display the Screen Image;

Press Key PrtSc / SysRq, then > Left Click Windows Start Orb at bottom left of screen > Select All Programs > Select Accessories Folder > Select Paint > Press Keys Ctrl + V .... and your captured screen image will be displayed.

Hope this helps.

If I press PrtSc, nothing happens.

No luck using your solution.

What is the model number of your laptop?

Try this, copy some text, any text, then paste it into a text file (notepad). Does it paste ok? If so, now press the Print Screen button. Try to paste into the same text document. Does the same text you pasted before paste again? Or does nothing paste this time? If you have Word, use word instead of notepad, does the image paste the 2nd time, or the text, or nothing? A Guy

How do I find out the model number?

When I copy and paste, it works. It does not paste again, and acts as if nothing was ever copied into the clipboard. When I try to paste it in Word, it shows a big, black dot. Strange....
