Yes, the keyboard was attached and the arrow keys
did nothing. And the touch screen was not
responding to touch input either. Sorry I forgot to mention these.
I didn't think to try any other specific keys but
the volume rocker key on top of the tablet would
have only given two directions and would not get
the cursor to move down and sideways.
