SUPPORT SOLUTION:
When you turn on the NUM LOCK (number lock) function of an external device that is attached to your portable computer, the NUM LOCK function is also enabled on your portable computer. Therefore, the numeric keypad keys on your portable computer type only numeric keypad characters even though you did not turn on this function on the primary keyboard.In this scenario, external devices include separate keyboards that have a numeric keypad section, and stand-alone numeric keypads, such as the Microsoft Bluetooth Number Pad..Some computer manufacturers do not allow 10-key numeric keypad operation at the same time as standard keypad operation on the keyboard. When you connect specific portable computers to an external numeric keypad or to an external keyboard that has a numeric keypad section, pressing the NUM LOCK button on the external device turns on the NUM LOCK function on both the external and primary keyboards..If you use an external keyboard together with your portable computer, do not use the NUM LOCK function on the external keyboard. Use the NUM LOCK function only on the primary keyboard.If you use a stand-alone numeric keypad that is attached to your portable computer, toggle off the NUM LOCK function when you have to use the primary keys on your portable computer..This problem has been reproduced on some models of portable computer, including those manufactured by Asus, LG, Sony, and Fujitsu. This problem has also been reproduced on some netbook computers.This problem does not seem to affect portable computers manufactured by Compaq, Acer, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, or Apple.The third-party products that this article discusses are manufactured by companies that are independent of Microsoft. Microsoft makes no warranty, implied or otherwise, about the performance or reliability of these products..
