    Use the on screen keyboard as described in the answer to the duplicate. – DavidPostill Dec 24 '17 at 18:51
  • Thanks David! but for some the scroll lock keeps turning on. I think there is a shortcut key. I was wondering if anyone has this info. I am planning to be more attentive to see if I can understand what is triggering this when I use Excel. – Venkata Vishnumolakala Dec 24 '17 at 18:57

    I think i found the answer.!! For HP laptops it is fn +c . It is getting triggered when I am trying to do a ctrl + c as the fn key is just next to it. – Venkata Vishnumolakala Dec 24 '17 at 19:18

As Venkata's comment suggests there is a shortcut for scroll lock at Fn+c on many HP laptop models.

I'm not sure exactly what range of HP laptops have this shortcut, but it is mentioned several times for different models over at the HP support forum. E.g. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Software-and-How-To-Questions/Scroll-Lock-keyboard-key-location-on-ProBook-450-G3-laptops/td-p/5564167
