When there are children in the house, parents try to protect the equipment as much as possible from their intervention. A laptop is no exception. If you leave it unattended, then the child can send a lot of messages in the correspondence, open new windows, change the settings and even jeopardize the functioning of the equipment. To prevent this, it is necessary to block the keyboard in a timely manner.
Do I need to resort to blocking?
Usually users do not think about the consequences of a non -blocked keyboard. This is especially true for families with children. Curiosity will surely lead the kids to the technique. In the best case, it will end with the opening of a pair of windows, but deleting files and a settings failure are the worst options.
The keyboard can also be blocked if it is more convenient for the user to use an external model. The laptop differs from the computer in that it is convenient to transport it and transfer it from the room to the room. In order not to accidentally click on the keyboard, it is most convenient to deactivate.

Using combinations on the keyboard
The simplest method is the use of special key combinations. If you squeeze Win and L together, then the keyboard will immediately become inactive.

In this case, a dilemma immediately appears, how to remove the block if the keyboard is not working. Do not worry - the system will respond to a special combination to remove the lock. To do this, hold Numlock and FN, and then specify the user password.

Different laptops are characterized by different key combinations in order to achieve the desired goal. Sometimes you need to determine the method of trial and error which of them in a particular case. For example, some models respond to a FN + F6 combination, and some on FN + F11.
Turning the keyboard
If the desired combination has not been possible to choose, then the keyboard can be turned off physically. This is a simple procedure that is easy to perform in the reverse order.
To achieve the goal, it is necessary:
- open the body so as to leave whole seals (when the equipment is under warranty);
- turn off the train that connects the motherboard with the keyboard. This must be done carefully so as not to damage it.
When you need to re -make the keyboard active, you should do the same manipulations in the reverse order.
The disadvantage of this method - you will have to spend a little time and be very careful during the procedure. An awkward movement may turn into the fact that the service center will be refused free repairs.

Blocking the keyboard on the laptop using special programs
This method is also considered one of the most convenient. No need to disassemble the laptop, but just click on the label on the screen.
