Keyboard Sleep Button

[Andrew S]

I have a Microsoft Internet Keyboard, which includes a
Sleep button. It has
worked well for two years. Suddenly, it has now stopped
performing.

I can perform the Sleep function still by using Start,
Turn Off, Standby+Ctrl+Shift.
That works fine.

Anyone know why the keyboard should suddenly refuse to
work on this button... and how i can fix it?

Hi Andrew,

First try reinstalling the keyboard driver. If that fails, it may simply be
that that particular key is dead. If all the other "extra" keys work fine,
then I would suspect this is the case.

Go into the CMOS setup, ans set a power option from "S3" to "S1".
