Hello!
A few days ago my keyboard lights got "stuck". I used capslock and the light went on as usual. When I hit it again I could type normally in lower case, yet the light was stuck and stayed on.
The same was true for numlock. The light was on but I could turn numlock off and use the other functions of the keys.
This has happened about 4 times in the last couple of days.
After a reboot the lights work normally again.
It seems to happen at random and there are no error messages anywhere as far as I can tell.
Since the keyboard functions normally and it's just the lights that get stuck I assume it is the keyboard itself but I figured I'd make sure.
Any thoughts/ideas?
EDIT: On further investigation I've noticed that it can happen quite often. I played around and hit capslock quite often and eventually the light got stuck. Exiting the X server has no effect. A reboot is required to make it work properly again. The keyboard does _always_ work during the booting procedure which leads me to believe that it might not be the keyboard itself after all.
