The keyboard is NOT RESPONDING at all, I cannot even switch it off beause it uses the battery.
DS says I must be patient "it takes as long as it takes" he says. Hmmm.

I'll try removing the battery

How old is your lap top? It should only take about 20 mins.

You could take the battery out for a short while then put it back in and when you start it back up do it off the mains.

Its 5.30 now and its been stuck here since 1.15

Its a laptop so uses a battery. I did try it with the lead plugged in and without. Should I unplug it and wait overnight for the battery to run down?

Unplug from the mains for about 10 seconds.
