Hi,

ive just replaced the HDD on my girlfriends laptop ater she dropped it. Ive had to re-install everything. It all works but now the numlock is permanently on, meaning that the letters U, I, O etc are coming up as 4, 5, 6 etc on the screen.

Is there any way in which i can change this - the keyboard doesn't have a NumLock button. The "function" button works to change these problematic keys to the proper letters/characters expected however it needs to be held down for each button press. And it does not toggle Numlock off.

Any suggestions - im stumped with this one?

Cheers

Agar

 

Press the FN+insert and give it a try.

Failing that, see if you have turned it on in the BIOS

 

Thanks Adrian - i'll give that a try tommorrow.

 

ofcourse the laptop has a numlock button look for blue writing on the keyboard.

alternatively plug ina keyboard, press numlock, unplug keyboard

 

This might help if you want it off permanently.

All sorted, had to alter the BIOS settings.

Thanks for the help.
