HP DV9291ea Number pad not working after been in for repair

I have a HP DV 9291ea laptop. It is a 17 inch model with a numeric keypad on it. The problem is, when the numlock key is turned on the keyboard number pad get's enables. I recently had the mother board changed by HP/Tarsus. I suspect that they didnt load the correct keyboard profile. They (Tarsus) said that should bring the laptop in and they will fix it (for free). I will do that if no one can help me here, Is there an easy and permanent fix for this problem?
I can temnporarly get around it by doing the following:
making sure the numlock is off.
opening the on screen keyboard (start>programs>accessories>ease of access>on screen keyboard)
a keyboard layout will opens on the screen
I hold down the FN button down on the real keyboard and clicking the nlk button on the onscreen keyboard by using my mouse.
the problem is is i press the numlock key again I will have to go through the whole process again.
Anyone have any idea what could cause this or how to fix it permanently?
If you might have a suggestion, please post it to me....

This thread's been dead for a few years, but since I had to really search to find the answer to this issue, I thought i'd share what worked for me.
In Win7, go to Start->Accessories->Ease of Access->Ease of Access Center, click "Make the mouse easier to use" and uncheck "Turn on mouse keys".  
This fixed my problem on a HP G72 with integrated numeric pad.

    You need to turn off Mouse Keys in System Preferences - Universal Access - Mouse & Trackpad.  Also uncheck "press option key five times to turn mouse keys on".

  • Purchased adobe acrobat x serial number does not work after two computers i need it put on a third computer help

    I purchase adobe acrobat x   I put it on two computers in my office I need to put it on one more but the serial number does not work anymore   is there a way to put it one the third computer?

    Also, you can only use it on two computers if they belong to the same person, are used only by that one person, and are not used at the same time. To install on two computers for two people needs two licenses. Adobe sell volume licenses, but do not sell an "all the computers in the office" license.

  • Cisco ISE 1.2 keyboard number pad not working in CLI

    I cant get a keyboard number pad to work in ISE 1.2 when accesing via the SSH CLI.  NumLock makes no difference and changing settings in my Putty session doesnt make any difference either.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Have you tried to ssh into the router and then ssh into the ISE node? Are you running this on a vm or is this an appliance, by any chance is this the UCS appliance, try accessing the console port through CIMC if possible.
    Thanks,

  • W700 Number pad Not working

    W700 Windows 7 Pro x64
    The full 10 key pad is working.  It does not work if you try to use it to login but right when windows starts, it will work for about 3-4 keystrokes and then stop working.  When it stops working, nothing.  No arrow movement or numbers.

    W701 - Win 7 / 64.    My number pad is also not working  (mostly).  This has been the case since purchase, about one year ago (04-2011).  It works as soon as Win 7 starts, but after a short time it no longer functions.  However the Fn + NmLk keys do produce the short-cut to the calculator.  I thought it had to do with sleep mode or hibernation, and if I waited, a new driver would be available, but this is yet to be the case.  Perhaps it is a loose cable connection under the keyboard (?) -  it remains a mystery.  If I discover a solution I will post back here.  

  • Keyboard and Touch-Pad Not Working After Having to Install New Hard Drive

    I had to install a new hard drive in my HP Pavillion DV9700t that has Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  After going through the recovery process with backup disk the built in keyboard and touch-pad do not work.  During the installation, an error message came up saying something along the lines of "the drivers are not supported by this verison of windows because they are unsigned."  The drivers that had that error were "hpqkbfiltr keyboard filter driver," "HP remote control HID Device," and "hpqkdfilter driver."  I tried to update the drivers for the keyboard from the hp website, but the keyboard and touch-pad still do not work.
    My question is, where do I find the digitally signed drivers for the keyboard and touch-pad that Vista won't flag and disable?
    Help please!

    Sparkles,
    Thanks for the suggestions.
    When dealing with MS Fix It, I was choosing run.  Upon further investigation on that site, there really isn't a scan that applies to my issue anyways I tried the .NET Framework repair tool, and that seemed to work.  It told me to try re-running what I was having issues with, so I tried running the Windows PowerShell again, but again was faced with the following message "windows update standalone installer encountered an error: 0xc8000247." I went back to the .NET screen and hit "Next" because it didn't work, and that responded by saying they were going to submit logs to Microsoft.  I won't hold my breath on that one.
    I'm to the point where I honestly don't care anymore.  I have no idea what to do, because doing a clean install with the discs HP sent me isn't going to help because they are just recovery discs, and not an actual Windows disk.  This is the second hard drive I have had to put into my laptop and use those recovery disks on in the last 3-years.  The built-in keyboard hasn't worked during that time frame on either hard drive.  I don't think the recovery disks I was sent install properly.  Not sure where to go from here.  I spent way too much money on this laptop years ago having it custom built to handle all of my drafting programs, so I don't want to just kick it to the curb.  I was looking into the possibility of just replacing it, but I cannot stand the Windows 8 interface.
    I guess I should have fixed the issue with the keyboard on this hard drive before loading all of my programs.  Between the recovery disk install, formatting of the hard drive, and installing all of my programs it took well over 12 hours.  Not really looking forward ot that again Then there's shockwave and flash and all of the other goodies that my recovery disks won't restore anyways.
    Sorry if this seems like a negative post, but I'm just tired of trying to no avail.  Maybe I should just take it somewhere to get it looked at, but I can't see them being successful if the recovery disks won't help anyways.
    Thanks for you help,

    Hi,
    does the numpad work in other Windows programs, or is it just the MS Office programs ?
    Have you tried the 'clear'-key (the one above the '7'-key on the numpad) to enable the numpad ?

  • Wireless keyboard number pad not working

    I purchased a wireless keyboard about 4 months ago and realized about a month ago the 9 digit number pad on the right stopped working. Every other button still works just not 1-9. Is there a number lock button that I may have pushed???

    What brand and model of numeric keypad are you attempting to use?

  • Keyboard number pad not working....

    I have installed Leopard, and now my number pad won't work. I have looked under System Preferences, and found nothing wrong there. I have the aluminum keyboard that is wired. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks...

    I am having the same problem on my 24" imac (late 2006).
    My keyboard is a wireless mac keyoard.
    All the number keys (0-9), as well as the decimal key do not work. When trying to use these keys in TextEdit or TextWrangler, they actually cause the keyboard to appear to lock up (command-option-esc clears, with no need to actually force-quit anything). The F-keys also appear to continue working.

  • HT1338 track pad not working after upgrade to mountain lion

    I have just finished installing Mountain Lion and it apears to be ok but I have two imediate problems.  Firstly the track pad gestures are not working, I can only select anything with the click switch, single selection by finger is not working.  Secondly I have used the migrate assistant to transfer my files but I appear to have lost all my desktop shortcuts.  I have installed all the upgrades which were advised on start up.  I hope someone can help.

    For the first problem, you need to re-enable 'tap to click' in Sys Prefs:

    Hello Joaquinfromhi,
    You may need to press the 'Num Lock' button or key on your keyboard, or you may have enabled 'Mouse Keys.'

  • T43 Touch Pad not working after Window 7 installation.

    The Touch Pad on my T43 is not working with Window 7. I have tried several drivers without success; any suggestions??
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Did you try to install system update 4.0 to get all the correct drivers?
    You can also enable/disable the touchpad in BIOS so you could doublecheck it's actually enabled. You can also enable/disable touchpad by going into the control panel, mouse and the Ultranav tab if you have the correct driver installed. Another options is to press Fn-F8 to enable/disable touchpad, but this one also require some drivers and software from Lenovo to work.

  • Qosmio x500/02G Number Pad Not Working

    Hello,
    I have a x500 that i recently purchased and installed Windows 7 Professional on it. Now i cannot use the number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard.
    I've tried using various combinations of NUMLOCK and SCROLLLOCK to no avail. Surely there a seperate number pad doesn't require drivers?!

    The problem was a faulty keyboard. there was a bank of keys on the numeric pad that were non-functional.
    A bit dissapointing given i'd had the laptop for less than 24 hours. Took it back to the store for a replacement.
