Keyboard won't type letters q,w,e,r,t,y
I saw this code like <shift>+Fn+o and it unlocked it but now my keyboard is broken again and won't type those letters
I have to use "windows on-screen keyboard" to use letters q,w,e,r,t,y
Please help
Now shift button doesn't seem to be working either

As your inquiry is in the "Desktops" section, can we assume the computer is a tower case and you are using a keyboard attached to the computer with a cable? If so you should try another keyboard, basic models are inexpensive if you are unable to borrow one.
You may also want to check if any of Microsoft's aids for disabled users (like sticky keys) have become active accidentally. Check the "Accessibility Options" applet on the Windows Control Panel.
I'm concerned about the inclusion of "Fn" in your description of a keyboard sequence that cleared the problem previously though. Notebook/laptop computers often use some system of an additional modifier key for a substitute numeric keypad or for notebook computer functions like enabling external displays. Activation of these features might temporarily disable some of the normal typing functions of the keyboard. Such features might be manufacturer and even computer model specific. It would probably be more helpful to provide the manufacturer name in a new thread's title and model number in the inquiry's body text if the computer is a notebook or laptop.

Does your keyboard still type " S-O-L" ? Because that is what you have now.

Yes, you are Sh*t Out of Luck --- S.O.L.

Just get a new keyboard instead of a new computer.

I agree with Goddard. Walmart sells keyboards for as low as $9.99. It could be your present keyboard has dirt in it which is why it is not working.

The simplest solution IS to try another keyboard before you do anything drastic. Walmart is a good option since it's easy to return if it turns out to NOT be the keyboard.
Let us know.
