I've changed keyboards. Now, with the old keyboard, I'd long ago accidentally broken the regular arrow keys. Which was a pain, but whatever, I just used the navigational keys on the numerical keyboard instead.

Now I'm using this newly replaced keyboard (which is in pristine condition yay) and it occurred to me - I can use the arrow keys again! The arrow keys work fine. The PgUp and PgDn keys attached to the arrow keys do not work. Every other key appears to be functioning normally. It's just those two specific keys.

WTF?

Google is no use, either. Apparently, nobody has had this trouble in the past 10 years or so with a Lenovo computer. SO IT IS COMPLETELY USELESS TO ME.
