How to know the caps lock status in Dell Mini 10v?

There are only two things emits light in Dell Mini 10v, the monitor and the power indicator LED. It’s doesn’t have the beauitful LEDs like other Dell notebooks.

The worst thing, is that we can’t know the status of caps lock. This is particularly makes problems when you type password as you can’t see the original text. You have to try the caps lock in some editable windows and back to the password field.

Even those Dell laptops which has all indicators including caps lock, it used to display ON/OFF status in a quick small message text on the right bottom side. With Dell Mini you can make use of this handy tool to know the current capslocks status.

The disadvantage is that it will be popped up only when we hit the caps lock key. It’s hard to know the current caps lock status without changing the current capslock state.

But it’s still better then a total blank

Download the system tools from Dell Mini 10v Driver Download Page. I’ve given direct link to Dell Caps Lock Application (this URL may changed by Dell in Future or on upgrade)

Once you finish installing this, you can see something has below on hitting the caps lock key.

    This utility worked when my mini10v was running XP, but now running Win7 the utility installs but does not display anything… it’s useless.
