Is the Num Lock key supposed to light up when activated?

On a new Oct. 2005 rev PowerBook; Is the Num Lock key supposed to light up when activated? I know it says its supposed to light in the manual but I've never seen ours light up. I can't even see an LED on the key.

Thanks. I also found this:

  • How to get the "Num Lock" key's original status in RedHat Linux FC4 ?

    I have realized it in Windows XP platform by
    Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_NUM_LOCK),
    and it works very well in Windows XP platform,
    but it doesn't work in Redhat Linux FC4,
    and throws UnsupportedOperationException.
    Anybody can tell me whether there is any other methods
    to get the "Num Lock"  key's original status in Redhat Linux FC4
    by jdk1.5.0_02 or later.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated here in advance,
    and thanks a million for your attention.

  • Num-lock key not illuminating

    Hi,
    I have an HP Pavilion 17-e031sa Notebook PC purchased only 2-weeks ago and running Windows 8.  The num-lock key does not illuminate when activated (the caps-lock key does illumnate when activated).  Any help would be appreciated.

    Is it a glitch or do you have "sticky keys" turned on in Universal Access?

  • Numeric Key Pad doesn't work.....Where's the Num Loc Key

    I read the MAC OS help....no help there. I think I may have hit a key, that is invisibly set as the Num Lock Key. Anyone know how to turn on Num Lock?
    Thanks

    Hi Alan,
    Thank you for the info links. I needed that keyboard viewer, I didn't know what all the icons were, that made up the keyboard shortcuts, I'm used to OS9 simplicity, of shift, control, option etc + this key = shortcut...lol.
    I wonder why Apple doesn't mention the Clear key in the KB doc. They just keep using the term "Num Lock key", like there a key that says "Num Lock" on the new keyboards....lol. I never noticed if my other keyboards have a lite num loc key or not.
    Thanks Again,

  • Turning On Num Lock Keys

    I can't seem to figure out how to turn on the num lock keys on my keyboard. I have an iMac 20" with the standard keyboard and supermouse. I've tried searching the support pages.
    Thanks,
    kayjh

    I've worked the problem out (I used Apple Chat assisstance). In Preferences, Universal Access, Mouse Keys - the Mouse Keys must be set to "off" which will then enable the Num Keys.
    I'm not sure how you use the mouse keys as well as the num keys, but I guess I'll work that out later.
    Thanks for your help,

  • X775-3DV78 - Num lock key light no longer turns on

    I just took apart may laptop for cleaning and upon re-attaching the keyboard and everything else, I noticed my Numlock key light no longer turns on? I double-checked and made sure the wires were all plugged correctly. The Caps Lock key light works fine. Any ideas? Perhaps it burned out?

  • Blinking Caps Lock and Num Lock Keys Lit after spilling water Macbook Pro.

    What does it mean when the caps lock and Num lock key blink, after spilling liquid on a Macbook Pro? Does this mean that liquid is still present? Also, the white light by the latch was blinking. What does this all mean?

    Possible liquid damage.
    Immediately disconnect all peripherals, power cord & remove the battery. Turn the computer over with the lid partly open and the hinge facing upward to let the liquid drain. Do not flop it over and lay it flat - you want to separate it from the moisture. Place paper or cloth towels under the machine to sop up the mess.
    After the computer disgorges whatever you spilled on it, don't turn it on for 72 hours or longer. You want to computer to dry out completely before turning it on again.
    Some users here swear by hairdryers. Blow drying the innards may bake whatever was in the liquid onto delicate computer components. Better to let the computer air dry.
    Use plain tepid water to clean out the computer. If you spilled iced beverage more than likely this ice fried the hot motherboard.
    Sugary, acidic or milky drinks will almost always cause problems later on as the residue starts slowly corroding the computer innards.
    Swab down any sticky parts with distilled water or denatured alcohol.
    If none of the above works, you will need to take the computer to a repair shop. Apple Care does not cover liquid or food damage. Believe me, they can tell. So the old "my computer stopped working" line is not going to work.

  • Pressing num-lock keys causes applications to crash

    I have a problem with the standard Apple USB keyboard. If I press any key on the num lock pad all my applications crash. It really doesn´t matter if it is e.g. Quark, Mail or any other application.

    hey Tobsel,
    as far as i know, there should not be any issues if that process is killed. However, your num lock key may or may not work sporadically.
    For which ThinkVantage software has it, it is both the Power Management as well as the Hotkeys

  • Where's the num lock?

    Does anyone know how to toggle the num lock? My number pad stopped working on my other iMac (G4), and I can't use it. When I try, the computer freezes for a couple seconds then resumes working. I can't find out where the darn num lock is.

    There was a key labeled 'num lock' on the older keyboards but it never really did anything (Apart from also being the 'clear' key) I don't think as I don't think Apple ever really used Num loc (There really wasn't a need as numbers were all the keys did)
    Usually when the numerics keypad stops working its because Mouse keys has been switched on somehow and the numerics pad is now being used to move the pointer.
    To turn it off (Or make sure its off already) go to
    'System preferences' 'Universal Access' Click on the 'Mouse' tab at the top and make sure Mouse Keys is off.

  • W520 & Windows 8 - Is it possible to disable the Caps Lock Key?

    Hello All:
    I have a W520 running the 64 bit Window 8 Pro OS.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the CAPS LOCK key on the ThinkPad keyboard?  I keep hitting this key by mistake (fat fingers, I guess) when using the laptop keyboard, and it is a PITA.
    When I have the W520 docked and I am using an external (Microsoft hardware) keyboard, I can disable the CAPS LOCK key on the external keyboard using Microsoft's keyboard control panel application.  But, this application doesn't appear to support disabling the CAPS LOCK key on the keyboard embedded in the W520.
    All suggestions will be gratefully received.
    Michael
    W520 (4270 CTO), which replaced a W500 (4062-27U), which replaced a T42P, which replaced an A21P...

    You cant technically disable it, BUT you can go to settings>General>Auto Lock - Never
    The screen will never dim and you wont have to slide to unlock - but keep in mind this will drain the battery much faster since the back light is constantly on.

  • Converting the Caps lock key to a "Fn lock" key

    It would be nice of the little green light in the caps lock key also worked to show if the "Fn lock" key is activated.
