    Lightbulb How to take a Screen-Shot on a LAPTOP!

    EDIT: It has come to my attention that this may not be relevant to ALL PC users as some laptop's e.g Toshiba, Dell's and Sony's have the 'Prnt Scrn' key already on their keyboard. Although, some PC's like Compaq and Acer do not, so this thread is still useful. The title says "How to take a screen-shot on a laptop" so I'm not going to mislead you guy's with the 'Prnt Scrn' key. This guide should help anyone with that key: http://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Screen...rosoft-Windows

    Hey guy's what's Crankin' it's Bro here .

    OK let's get straight into it... Taking a screen-shot on a laptop is simple and of course free. Normally, for a PC with a keyboard port there's a button located somewhere at the top called 'Prnt Scrn', BUT, on a laptop they don't include it WHAT WILL WE DO!?!?

    Fortunately, there's a short & simple way to take a screenie with these few steps:

    1. Look down the bottom left-hand corner of your keyboard, in between the 'ctrl' and the 'Microsoft symbol'(Start button), there will be a key that says: '[Fn]' and another key in the top right-hand corner of the keyboard that says: '[sys rq]' (It's the same key as 'delete' )

    2. Now that you are familiar with the keys, pick something on your screen you wish to capture. Once ready, hit them both together then let go. Simple.

    3. Now, presuming you have Microsoft paint, open it up and paste the shit out of it (Ctrl+v). It should appear in front of your eye's in a flash.

    4. Congratulations! You have taken a free Screen-Shot using your laptop No program's needed . Now it's up to you whether or not you save it. If you didn't like the pic, you can always take another one with the same procedure.

    Thanks for listening, Hope I helped.

    My laptop has the

    PRTSC
    SYSRQ
    button, and I believe I've seen that on pretty much every laptop I've used :\ Print Screen activates whether or not I hold FN with it. Try clicking SYSRQ without FN, see what happens

    Nicely written tut though.

    Thank-you, Runescapian.

    I don't know what sort of laptop you have or have used, but most commonly, Compaq's and other large labeled computer companies have a small number of keys removed for, as silly as it sounds, convenience. The 'Prnt Scrn' is one of them.

    By the way, this is my 50th post, oh yeah, oh yeah

    Yeah, Toshiba ftw

    I believe I've seen the key (or something similar) on Dells, Toshibas, and Sonys.

    Just had a look at my sister's computer. HP also has a 'Prnt Scrn' option.

    I think I greatly underestimated the amount of laptops with that key.

    Oh well, I'm probably not going to remove this, as it is still relevant to some PC user's.

    Then its a software problem, or you got to open it up and spray some compressed air in it to remove the dust
