Here I’m going to give you a perfectly working fix that will solve this problem permanently. It’s not a good reason to replace the entire keyboard due to a defect in one or two keys.

Also, before you run to a hardware store to get a new keyboard installed, listen to me for a second. You can go ahead and disable the keyboard on your laptop and use the USB keyboard, but that’s not feasible. So, I disabled my laptop keyboard and used an external wired keyboard, and the problem was gone.Īs it turned out, laptop keyboards are very fragile and prone to long-run problems compared to desktop keyboards. That’s when it hit me- W hat if there’s a problem with the keyboar d ? I gave it some thought and then I realized that maybe the Page Up key is stuck and that’s causing the problem. When I had this problem, I tried to search through a variety of forums, but there was no solution for me. I’ve experienced this problem myself on my own LXDE desktop environment, and I know this issue is really frustrating for both new and experienced users.

Notice how I can’t scroll down on YouTube even when I’m dragging the scroll barĪt first, you might think that this issue is related to your touchpad, which may be true in some cases, but the touchpad issue is not always the reason for this problem. To know what the problem looks like, I have embedded a video of the problem below so that you can relate to the issue you’re facing. This problem happens with the File Manager, any Webpage, Text Editor (where the cursor is automatically sent to the start of the line again and again), and everywhere else. If you’re running a Linux distribution on your laptop, you may have faced a problem where, when you scroll to the bottom of the page, the page will automatically be scrolled back to the top, and you won’t be able to scroll it back to the position you want.
