Cannot activate Num Lock on my Satellite notebook

Hello,
I have my new laptop for about a week now and still I cannot activate the Num Lock for the numerical Keys to work.
I also accessed the Desktop Assist, tools and Utilities and the changed the keyboard settings to Special Keyboard as well as FN-F12 but to no avail.
Can someone help me out there???
Thanks

I have no information about your notebook model but ususally you could activate the Num Lock pressing the NUM button. In many cases this button contains also a small green LED which should glow pressing this button.

  • Cannot activate the WLan card on Satellite A30

    I have a satellite A30.
    In the manual I got with the laptop it said some models have a built in wireless link. My computer has an on/off switch for wireless but i haven't been able to activate it.
    How can i tell if this models wireless connection will work.
    I have downloaded drivers from this website for wireless . After unzipping the file I found that there were no installation instructions or an executable file.
    What do i do with the unzipped files.
    Just a note i do have a belkin wireless router and have my A30 laptop wireless at the moment but i need a big clumsy network adaptor plugged into a USB port
    Any help appreciated
    Thanks Mark.

    Hello Mark
    First of all you must be sure if your unit is delivered with WLAN card. You can check this on two ways. First one is to check bottom side of your notebook. Every unit delivered with WLAN card has WLAN sticker. Other way you can check entrie in device manager under Network adapters. If the unit has WLAN card it will be listed there.
    As far as I know WLAN card for Satellite A30 is optional and if the unit has no card on board you can buy compatible one or use external cards like USB WLAN stick or PCMCIA WLAN cards.

  • Satellite S50D-A-10G - Windows cannot activate at this time

    Good Afternoon One & All
    Can anybody help or advise me please on a few issues that I am having.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite S50-D, which I bought from Laptop Outlet Ltd through Amazon in Setember 2014.
    Was really happy with it until recently.
    I activated Windows 8.1 when I first received it but just lately I am getting messages saying that I need to activate Windows.
    This I have tried to do several times & each time that I do the screen shows that " Windows cannot activate at this time please try later " I dont get get a telephone option to phone, and so am confused as to why I am being asked to re-activate.
    I tried to contact the vendor who told me to contact Microsoft, this I did & was told that the product key that came with my laptop is for Windows7 or Windows 8 not 8.1, he told me to get in touch with Toshiba for a new Product code,this I did & after an hour on the phone where the Toshiba engineer remotely went through my laptop informed me that I have a trojan (which Norton nor Eset Nod 32 discovered BTW) & that he could sell me an AV software for 99, at no point did he try to give me any advise on why the product ID would not work nor did he try to give me another code to try.
    Is anybody else out there finding that they are being asked to re-activate Windows 8.1 which comes pre-installed on their laptops or anyone who knows how to fix this issue?
    Sorry for the long winded post, but needed to vent as getting quite frustrated & dont really want to take laptop back to factory settings & lose all my stuff.

    Hi Stephen.
    Just some essential information:
    the notebook was preinstalled with Win 8.1 64bit OS.
    This OS is preconfigured and will be activated automatically connection the notebook to internet for the first time!
    More info:
    Windows 8 has not been automatically activated after the first boot of your new Notebook
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ET0000R01.htm
    if the system cannot be activated even connection to the internet, perform the HDD recovery and try again.
    You said you are novice: well, the notebook contains preinstalled user manual. I recommend you to read the whole document.
    There you can find necessary and useful info about the notebook.

    We certainly want to make sure you get the most out of the GPS, wplaxico! Was this tested primarily outdoors? When did this begin? Any other recent apps of updates installed when this started?

  • Satellite L50t-A-145 - Num Lock ON as default on Boot Up

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone on here knew how to set an L50t-A-145 running Win 8.1 to boot up with Num Lock on as the default boot state.
    I have tried looking at the BIOS settings, where I have always set this before on other computers, but can't find the option here.
    Many thanks
    Iain

    No, this option isnt available in BIOS.
    My Toshiba notebook does not contain such option in BIOS but the NUM LOCK in still enabled after the notebook has been rebooted.
    For example: I boot up the unit NUM LOCK is disabled.
    Now I enable the NUM LOCK pressing numlock button.
    Now, NUM LOCK is ON.
    If I reboot the notebook, the numlock is still ON.

  • Satellite C55-A and Ubuntu - Caps Lock and Num Lock key leds always off

    I use Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 and Mate Desktop and LightDM. My Toshiba Laptop is Satellite C55-A-1JH (PSCG6E) model.
    Cap Lock and Num Lock is working , but their leds always is off.
    I don't find any Linux driver in Toshiba support web site.How I solve this problem?

    Hi. Are you sure this is a Linux-issue? Please try this: reboot the unit and press F12 several times when the Toshiba logo is shown. When the boot menu is shown try Caps and Num lock again.
    Same issue or not?

  • Satellite A660 - Num Lock LED not on

    Hi everyone!
    I've a problem with the Num Lock LED. Although the num lock is on, LEDs do not indicate this. This interferes me at work, a bit.
    Any Ideas?
    Regards, G.

    Hi buddy,
    So you can use the number pad but just the LED is not on?!
    Well, theoretically the LED could be faulty so its not on. Thats the only explanation I have. I mean if the num pad works its no hardware malfunction of keyboard itself so it must the LED
    Do you use the preinstalled Windows version?
    If your notebook is under warranty you can get a new keyboard for free. Just get in contact with an authorized service provider and explain the situation. The guys will help you to get rid of this :)

  • Satellite P500 (PSPE8A-01R002) - Number pad and num lock not working

    After upgrading to Windows 7 the number pad and num lock on my P500 PSPE8A-01R002 is not working.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Since keys worked in vista then its reasonable to assume there is something in the "software". I doubt that windows can make changes to the bios though there is Toshiba HWsetup but that does't look to do anything relevant.
    I don't know what conclusions could be drawn from the results of trying an external keyboard.
    How about trying various boot sequences such as direct to the command prompt and direct to safe mode to pin down it the problem is specific to your W7 installation? - why not try making a bootable cd (i'd have to google to find out how but you should be able to try windows 98 or even DOS - there was also a run from cd/dvd version of Linux and there's also the new Google os to consider).
    Within W7 the only things that affect the keyboard would be settings in control panel > ease of access where the keypad can be set up as a mouse or keys remapped so num lock is "something else" and, clutching at straws, I presume keyboard language settings - are there any languages that require use of a numeric key pad to give a full character set (keyboard set to foreign language and Windows set to "English" so that the foreign character set isn't displayed?

  • Num Lock (P845)

    I have a new Satellite P845 and cannot find how to activate the num lock.  I searched in the user's guide (the pdf file) but I could not find anything by entering keywords like lock, num lock etc. or looking at the F keys.
    Can someone please tell me how to activate it?? I tried FN+F11 because I read somewhere that this is the way to activate the num lock on Satellite laptops, but it doesn't work with this model...
    Thank you for your help!!

  • Number Lock Problem on Satellite Pro L20

    We have about 60 Satellite Pro L20s on a network. When the user starts the computer sometimes they start with the number lock on. Its seems to be worse on some that others. This is very annoying as it causes problems with logons.
    Is there any way of disabling the number lock function on these laptops?
    Thanks
    Mark

    Hi
    Your right, the num lock key can be switched on or off by using FN & F11, but I was wondering if there is a way to disable the num lock function entirely.
    The problem is that on some of the laptops it is activated at switch on and on some it is not. This is causing problems as we are using windows 2000 network and some uses are becoming confused when they try to login and it fails as a result of having characters in their password that are shared with the number keys. They cannot tell that they are typing the wrong letters as they are obscured.
    I appreciate that it is easy to switch off the num lock but as a technician it is creating unnecessary work for me with users repeatedly complaining.
    Thanks
