I think I do have a keyboard. I'll try it.

I had what I thought was a bright idea: boot up in Safe Mode. The laptop, though, is now asking for a challenge phrase because of multiple login attempts. It's A1B2C3.

The problem is that A produces \A/ (though I can edit that), 1, B, 2 and 3 are OK..but C with caps lock on puts the C at the START, and shift-c erases the rest of the string.

But being a crafty git, I've got it: type C first, then add the rest. That worked, it's asking for PIN again...but I still can't type 7.

Adding the keyboard worked, I'm in. But uninstalling the driver and rebooting didn't work. I may have to contact PC Specialist and maybe send the thing away for repair or whatever. What a pain.

Now the 7 key is typing a dot. Weird.
