Keyboard Problem, as if num lock is On

When I type K a 2 is shown. Same with the rest of the keys, J L U I O are shown as 1 3 4 5 6 respectively. But num lock is not on!
If I set num lock on, none of these keys work.
Curiously when I turn on the computer the first Key I press works fine, but the second keystroke has the problem.
Could someone give me an idea?
Thanks in advance,

  • Num Lock problem after windows7

    Hello
    since the installation of windows 7 home premium on my HP Pavillion dv9040ea Notebook, it is not possible anymore to use the numbers of the Number Block together with the letters on the Main Keyboard block. It means: when I want to type numbers with the help of the number block on the right side, I need to press the button NUM to switch it on. Then the numbers there work. BUT therefore, the letters of the main keyboard block do not work! ( I live in Germany by the way and use German ). There are some letters where when I press them there does not appear this letter but a number on the screen. when I presse NUM again to switch it off, the letters work perfectly again but the numbers of the number block don't - there instead the page down/up etc is activated.
    How can I get it back that I can use the numbers on the right side while using the letters of the main keyboard?
    I've tried through execute OSK.exe and regedit initial keyboard indicators, no success. In BIOS I don't find any option for NUM lock.
    Thank you all!

    I don't think it is serious enough to return it. I have problems with my num lock and caps lock keys also, but I think it is a problem with the PMU firmware. Quite a few people are having an issue, so I don't think it is a hardware problem.
    There are also people having other problems related to the PMU, such as the coloured lines at startup. I suspect we will see a firmware update at some point that can hopefully fix it.
    My advice would be try resetting your PRAM with command-option-p-r at startup (until you hear the second chime). Or resetting the PMU by turning off the 'book. disconnecting power and taking battery out, then pressing power button for 5 seconds. Then turn it all back on again and it should be ok.
    Stay away from 10.4.7 too, it's just trouble.

  • MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) - Boot Camp/Win 7 - Num Lock Problem

    Hey,
    I have a client who has a MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) who is experiencing a problem when booted into Windows 7 via Boot Camp in that he cannot type certain character like # (hash character by keystroke alt + 3) without Windows 7 error bleeping at him. He needs the # character as part of his password for logging into webmail.
    The Boot Camp setup has the latest Boot Camp drivers installed (this was a fresh Boot Camp setup/install today) and every other part of the hardware works I suspect that this problem is not a key mapping problem but more something to do with Windows registering Num Lock as being active.
    If the problem is that Num Lock is enabled then what is the keystroke to disable Num Lock? I thought it was fn + 6 but did this change since the Unibody MacBooks?
    I understand that there are ways of resurrecting number pad fuctionality as decribed in the MacWorld article (see link below) but this is a Mac OS X System Preference and as such would not operate when booted into Windows via Boot Camp.

  • Num lock problem - Keeps flashing

    I've got a num lock problem on my new Macbook at the moment. It keeps on flashing randomly, even when I don't use it. And when I press it when the led isn't on, it doesn't do anythin. Any ideas what might be wrong?

  • Num lock problems after start

    I have just startet my HP Pavilion 500-106eo today with windows 8.1. The problem is, that num lock is off after start and restart, and bios is set correctly to on and value in H-key is 2 ( num lock on after start) I have tried to shut down fast start up and it didn't work either. I can manually set num lock on after start....Help me solve this issue, please.

    The reason that you can't change "fast startup" is because you have to click on the phrase at the top of the page "Change settings that are currently unavailable".  Once you click on it the settings that you weren't able to change will become available.  Uncheck "Turn on fast startup (recommended) and close the Control Panel and restart the computer.

    Hi @Lewery
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see that you are having a problem with your Num Lock and keypad. I will be happy to help you with that. I would recommend that you uninstall the generic keyboard driver (there is no specific keyboard driver) and let Windows reinstall it. Go to your Device Manager and expand Keyboards. Then right click the keyboard and select Uninstall. Then restart your computer and Windows will reinstall the driver. Give that a try and let me know how it goes.
    Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.

  • 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 :)

  • NUM LOCK toggles on and off

    I've just started having problems with my NUM LOCK.  For the last 3 years I've had it off - no problems.  Now all of a sudden it's toggling on and off by itself.
    I've gone into registry editor for Keyboard and set the InitialKeyboardIndicators to zero - is that right?  The default has no value.
    I have a Satellite A505-S6015 laptop.
    Any help is much appreciated - thank you.

  • How do I toggle num lock in Windows 7 via Boot Camp 4.0 on a MacBook Pro (Late 2011)?

    Is there a keyboard shortcut to enable num lock on the MacBook Pro 2011 (Late) in Windows 7 via Boot Camp 4.0?  I have a mouse with a numpad mapping on the side of it.  When I press the number keys, the cursor responds in the way one would expect it to with the num lock off (ie, 6 moves it right, 4 moves it left, etc); however, I need to use it to produce numbers. 
    I have read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1220, which covers the previous MBP keyboard (on which the F6 key function was numlock), but I can't find any information regarding the possibility of doing this with the new MBP model keyboard (on which the F6 key function is increasing the keyboard backlight).  Any thoughts?  Suggestions?

    I was looking for this answer and found it on another site. I realize this is an old thread, but just in case someone else stumbles here and needs to do it, here's how to turn numlock on or off in Windows, and to make it stick:
    Run Registry Editor (RegEdit)
    In Windows 8 or earlier you can press Command-R, then type regedit
    In Win7 or earlier, you can also just click Start menu, and type regedit in the search field.
    In the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Control Panel -> Keyboard
    Within the Keyboard folder, you should have an entry named InitialKeyboardIndicators. Set the "Data" value accordingly:
    0 = Num Lock is turned OFF after login
    1 = Disable Num Lock
    2 = Numlock is turned ON after the login
    I hope this helps.

  • Can't get my number pad to work - No Num Lock

    Hello,
    I recently got my iMac with the wireless keyboard and noticed that I can not get my number pad to work. There is no num lock button to turn on/off, just the clear button. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks
    Jay

    This is from the built-in Mac Help.
    Hope it works for you.
    My numeric keypad doesn't work
    The way the numeric keypad works depends on your computer, the keyboard you're using, the application you're working in, and whether the Num Lock key is engaged. Usually, the numeric keypad is used to enter numbers in a document, but in some applications you might be able to use the keypad to navigate (move around in) your document.
    Press the Num Lock key to switch between the ways the numeric keypad functions.
    If you have a separate numeric keypad on your keyboard, the Num Lock key is located in the numeric keypad. If you're using a portable computer, the Num Lock is a function key, marked Num Lock (F6). If your keyboard has a separate keypad but no Num Lock key, try pressing Shift-Clear.
    Most portables have a group of keys on the keyboard that can function as the numeric keypad. To find the keypad, look for small numbers or symbols in the lower-right corner of keys on the right side of your keyboard. Press the Num Lock key (F6) to turn on the keypad. The green light glows on the Num Lock key when the keypad is active.

  • Num Lock issues

    Hi all,
    I think i'm being stupid but.... it seems like my num lock button is stuck on, on my iBook G4. The num lock button is lighting on and off but the keys on the keyboard only respond to num lock keys.
    Also the apple keys act as a power button, pulling up the sleep/restart/shut down menu.
    I've had a look through keyboard and international but can't seem to alter anything.
    I've connected an external keyboard and that works fine.
    Hope somebody can help, if this a hardware issue, it feels like software.
    Thanks everybody.

    OK, I'd backup your data. This further suggestion could disable your machine and may require a logicboard replacement in event the CMOS capacitor has gone south. That's why I'm saying the backup is important!
    Once backed up, shut down, and disconnected all peripherals, try zapping your PRAM:

  • W530 Num Lock problems with VMWare

    All,  I am having a major problem with VMWare and the W530 "Num Lock".  When I move the cursor into the VMWare window a message comes on say "NUM LOCK: ON" when I move it out of the VMWare window I see message "NUM LOCK: OFF".  I do not have any key on the keyboard to disable Num Locl.  There are utilities I can run in the SUSE VMWare image to capture the key binding and remap, but I do not have anyway of turning Num Lock on or off to capture
    the key binding.
    Suggestions ?
    Solved!

    Hello and welcome,
    A couple of things you might try.  Don't know if they'll work on your W.  They do work on some other Lenovo machines.
    Plug in a USB keyboard that has numlock.  Use that and see if it sticks after reboot.
    Use the on-screen keyboard.  Click "options" and enable numeric keypad.  That should add a keypad and NUMLOCK key to the on-screen keyboard.  Use that.  See if it works - and if it sticks.

  • Portg Z30-A-108 - Num lock does not work on external keyboard

    Hi,
    We have a Portg Z30-A-108. We use it with external wireless keyboard and mouse. On the external keyboard is used, the num pad does not work (as if the "num lock" was off). I tried using the function key FN+F11 on the laptop but without any succes.
    Does somebody had the same problem or any idea to solve it ?
    Thanks.
    Nicolas

    >On the external keyboard is used, the num pad does not work (as if the "num lock" was off)
    You are talking about the external keyboard.
    But from my knowledge the internal Portg Z30-A-108 keyboard does not contain the num pad. Possibly this is the reason why the Num Lock is turned off.
    By the way: the NumLock can be enabled in the system registry.
    Open Windows registry editor using the command regedit.
    In the registry, go to the folders.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Control Panel\ Keyboard\
    Within the keyboard folder, you should find a string value named "InitialKeyboardIndicators" with a value of 0, 1, or 2.
    Here the value meaning:
    0 = Num Lock is turned OFF after the logon.
    1 = Disable Num Lock.
    2 = Numlock is turned ON after the logon.
