Keyboard I am unable to type numbers on the (i called accounting keyboard) on right side of the keyboard. I have turned the "num lock button" on and do no get anything. I have resorted to using the numbers above the letters and it is a pain. Help

Press the num lock button - usually the top left hand button on the keyboard numbers on right hand side of keyboard.

Hi Kip,

On the right side of the number keypad on a Mac Laptop, there is a 'Clear' button above the number 7. Press Shift + Clear to turn Num Lock on. Press that again to turn it off. If the keyboard doesn't have a number pad, press F6.

it is located right above the number 7 on the key pad on the right side of your keyboard

Examine your keyboard to ensure your "Number Lock" key is not activated.

This activation is indicated by the key being lit up.

If the key is activated, press it to deactivate the lock.

The number lock key will deactivate an entire segment of your keyboard

Start, click Run, and type regedit to open the Windows registry editor.

In the registry, open the below folders.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Control Panel\
Keyboard\

Within the keyboard folder, you should have a string value named "InitialKeyboardIndicators" with a value of 0, 1, or 2. Below is the explanation of each of these values.

0 = Num Lock is turned OFF after the logon.
1 = Disable Num Lock.
2 = Numlock is turned ON after the logon.

hope this helps

Hello,

If this is happening only on the right side of you keyboard this usually means that the Number Lock (Num Lock) was turned on.

To turn in off simply select the "Fn + Num Lock" buttons to disable it.

Hi,

You have the Num Lock on.

To turn it off just hit the Num Lock key or press Fn and hit the Num Lock key to return the keyboard to normal.




Regards.

Your "Num Lock" is on.
Look for the num lock key (it's similar to the "caps lock" key in function)
If the "num lock" is blue, you may have to hold a blue "fn" key when you press num lock

There's is probably a light at the top of the keyboard that'll tell you when num lock is on.

Put the RAM back in or check the RAM in securely

You probably activated the "Num Lock" accidently. Just hold down the FN and look for the key that says "num lock" Now you should have your keyboard back and the numbers will just type when you hit the numbers key. I did this to myself yesterday!

Fn+Scroll will toggle the Num Lock
The ison on the keyboard is a purple Lock with the number 1 inside.
