Hope this help!!!

Try the "On-Screen Keyboard" and see if it has the same problem. If not then the key on the keyboard is bad.

On my acer aspire 5551 it works if you press the ALT Car Button on the right site and the green key

Hey, I've just been having this problem. Try pressing CTRL + SHIFT + FN all at the same time. I found out that I had to press them once to turn on the green keys, and then press them twice more to turn it off. I hope that works for you.

not sure whatur talkin about but my advise is to look for a alt (alternative) key or a func (function) key would work like shift for capitol letters

On my acer aspire 5551 the green keys working if you press the ALT Car key (on the right site) and the green key

There is a small green Fn button near the start button you will have to use this with shift to use the green keys if you are in multi lingual mode, if you only use the laptop for french you can also change the regional settings for the keyboard to Just French and then they will work just by using shift.

Hope this helps FixYa,

it sounds like you have turned on either your language bar settings and sometimes switch to another language, there is a function key you are hitting causing the keys to lock on that setting
