Keyboard stuck on Num Lock

All of a sudden while typing my keyboard switched to num lock (as far as I'm aware I didn't activate it).
The num lock key wasn't glowing green!
I tried to press it but keyboard was still stuck on num-lock.
Luckily restarting has got the keyboard functioning 'normally' - but I was worried it would not accept my password.
Is this a sign of worse things to come?

You may not be alone with this problem.

  • Stuck in NUM Lock

    I am a new user.  My Curve 9300 seems to be stuck in NUM Lock so I cannot enter the letters in my password.  I have tried everything and no luck.  Any suggestions?

    Did your everything also include depressing the Shift key?
    If still locked, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.

  • T430 usb keyboard num lock

    I have a T430 with Win 7 and in a docking station with a usb external keyboard.  When starting up, the keyboard default is Num Lock off.  Can that be changed to Num Lock on?   Without affecting laptop startup when not docked?
    Thx,

  • Pavilion 17-f053us num lock

    I'm sure this is a simple question. I have a new Pavilion 17" notebook.  Is there an indictor light on the keyboard for the num lock or some on-screen indicator.  It is annoying to use the keypad and not knowing if the num lock is on or off. Thanks

    That's too bad about the Pavillion 17 not having a NumLock light.  I use it mostly for security things which do not display and I get VERY frustrated when the security doesn't pass.  Sometimes the NumLock key also resets when I'm filling out forms that have numeric fields in them; also frustrating when the data is recorded errroneously.  ALSO, its very frustrating that the NumLock isn't on at power up time for the security sign in.  Overall, a very BAD design to not include the light!!!

  • HP P6730f window 7, no video/wireless usb mouse wont respond/no caps num lock lite on keyboard

    Good Morning, I have a HP P6730f running window 7 home that has developed a problem.  It had shut it down & rebooted but when I pushed the power on button on the box which turned on & started the reboot. However the monitor remained black (it was turned on), the usb wireless mouse didnt work, & the keyboard didnt respond (num &  cap lock lights wouldnt turn on or off).  I turned it off & removed the cables & replaced them & tried to start up again & same thing happened.
    The system is abt 3 1/2 yrs old. 
    Any suggestions?

    Hardtarget2, welcome to the forum.
    The symptoms that you describe could be a failing power supply unit (PSU).  Here is a guide to help you troubleshoot it.  If the computer doesn't boot completely or there is not enough power for the computer to operate properly, the USB devices won't power-on.

  • Num Lock on new Aluminum Keyboards?

    Anyone know how to enable Number Lock on the new aluminum keyboards? This is usually not an issue with Macs (as by default num-lock is assumed on), but I use remote desktop to control a Windows server and I can not use my number pad because you would normally need to engage num lock to be able to do this on Windows.
    On my old Apple keyboard there was an actual Num Lock button (shared function with the Clear button).
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Try any of the following F13 to F19, because an standard pc keyboard does not have theses keys, so it might be possible.

  • 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.
