I'm sure your local Vauxhall dealership parts department will tell you what it's called and sell you a new one ...... or once you know what's it's called try Autovaux tel: 01924 376003 . None of your links work by the way and turn off your caps lock.

Far left hand side of the keyboard is a key which should say 'Caps Lock'. Push it once to turn on, and again to turn off. The 'Shift' key (perhaps identified by an upwards pointing arrow) is below it (and again repeated on the right hand side of the keyboard) and this turns caps on whilst you hold it down. WRITING EVERYTHING IN CAPITALS is considered shouting on the internet, hence the earlier comment.

Regarding your question. A good motor factor should be able to identify and supply the switch at maybe lower cost than VX.

When you switch your PC on, by default the caps lock is off so you must have pressed the button at some point. There is usually an LED on the keyboard that indicates when you've got caps lock switched on.

If all else fails, then just reboot the PC and it will default to the off setting.
