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.

I will rebooting but it is just amazing to discover all these glitches which is absent from PCs.

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

    My num lock appears to have stopped working.  I have a HP Pavilion dv6 notebook running Windows 7 with a 10 key pad integrated with the keyboard.

  • 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.
    Need some help.
    Kind regards,
    Markus

    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

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Num lock is not working

    I posted this message a while ago and just doing a follow up. Hope somebody's out there,
    My num lock function is not working properly when I press the F6 button. It's a 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, running Tiger OS 10.4.11. When I want to use the num lock, all of the num lock keys start working like a directional button and disables hot corners, the track pad and pretty much everything else except F1-12. The only way to regain control is to force quit the program that I originally started using it in. Any thoughts. Anyone?

    How about removing the keyboard ... here's how to do that: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=95132 The article title is how to replace memory but it has the instructions for removing the keyboard also. Very handy article to save!
    There might be dust or lint particles there. I use a can of compressed air with the keyboard ON about once a month or mine stick too. Maybe that will help.

    Lock key not functioning properly.
    Phones gets lock on clicking it 2-4 times

    This has happened because your phone was most likely imported and modified before it was sold you you. Updating the firmware has reset it back to it's default configuration
    You need to contact a nokia care point for help getting it back working properly. If the care point isn't an option visit the retailer where you purchased it.

  • 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 while under XP

    The numeric keypad on my iMac works just fine while I'm operating under Mac. But when I boot up under MS XP, the keypad doesn't work. It's like I need a 'num lock' key and there is none.

  • 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.
