Yep-it worked exactly as suggested. Sharp end of a small safety pin and bobs your uncle.

Thanks again. Was worried that it could be something worse.

Ok, it works perfectly…, thank you to your suggest.

My Acer Aspire ES1-512-C08J, did not accept anythink from keyboard to input password at start of windows 10, but in Bios setup did it works.

No solutions to change keyboard, or reset bios to default configuration, but only when i pushed in the pinhole reset switch battery on back laptop, while laptop was on, and it immediatly drops down switch off, and when i restart laptop from normal push button power on, all works another time ok…..

Sorry for my bad english…
