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.

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.

Eskil4930, welcome to the forum.
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.

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?

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.

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.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

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.

Strange caps lock / num lock issue after sleep

When I return to my desktop after the macbook has been put to sleep sometimes the CAPS LOCK / NUM LOCK are activated on keyboard. Actually it's not activated, it is only the small green dots on the keys that shine, however when typing anything it's not in CAPS.
This is really strange and I have no idea why this happens? Any one else got this, and/or a possible solution?

sorry for this dubblepost. Anyway please answer my question

KEY LOCKING problem after updating to belle in e6

after updating to belle, it is difficult to unlock/lock using the trigger... Suppose if the phone is locked, when the trigger i locking pulled, it unlocks for a second and gets locked again.

Reinstall the Firmware and check. I am not ssure about the compatibility, but if you re-install using the NSU may give better results.
Pl. post the results after you do this..

MacBook starts with caps lock and num lock ON

From time to time after upgrading to Leopard, my caps lock and num lock lamps are lit after startup. However, all other keys work normally, caps lock and num lock are not actually turned on. Is there a way to avoid this misbehaviour?

Do computers have child diseases? My computer's immune system now seems to have taken care of the caps lock/num lock problem. I haven't had any inverted startups in weeks now. Very strange!
In my experience, the treatment is to ignore the fact caps lock/num lock is lit, and to restart the computer. If you need to log in to restart, do it as if startup was normal, since caps lock/num lock is not actually turned on.
And hope for the natural healing.
Does anyone have different experiences?

MacBook Keyboard Caps Lock and Num Lock are working in reverse!!!

Ok, this sounds very strange...my keyboard on my MacBook only works when both the num lock and caps lock keys are depressed (so the green lights are illuminated). if the num lock is off then the keyboard does not work. if num lock is on and caps lock is off then the keys only type in ALL CAPS. if both num lock and caps lock are on (green lights) then the keyboard behaves as it should--except it's supposed to be that the num lock and caps lock keys should be off! I've checked system prefs for keyboard and mouse and for universal access, i've reset to defaults, i've restarted the machine...NOTHING works!
Has anyone ever seen this before? Any clue what to do?
thanks
Mark

Problem with Caps Lock and Num Lock after 10.5.1

I noticed after updating to 10.5.1 my caps and num lock lights were on, i thought this odd as I did not push the buttons, pushing the buttons to turn the lights off however actually turns the caps and num lock features on.
In short, the light is backwards! when caps is OFF the light is on and when caps is ON the light is OFF!
the same is true for the num lock key/light...???
anyone else notice this problem?

Same exact problem... after updating I noticed that my numbers lock and caps lock were on. Didn't think much of it so I turned them off and then I notice that they are working in reverse. Caps lock on gives me lower case letters and numbers lock on I only get the symbols associated with that key above the number....mmmmm.
Anyone found a fix yet? I have looked in preferences and other places but found no solution.

Equium P200D-139: number keypad & num lock don't work after recovery

I had to reload notebook after a windows update created problems.
After using supplied restore CD the number keypad and num lock no longer work.
Any ideas please

Hi
I doubt that this has something to do with the new OS installation
I mean its sounds more like a hardware issue and not like software issue
In my opinion it was a bad luck or chance that this happened immediately after the recovery procedure
But why you said that these buttons dont work?
Did you test it with different applications?
How about the BIOS update? Do you have the latest BIOS version?
Did you try to repeat the recovery procedure? Do it!
Otherwise I think that it could be a keyboard issue and possibly the keyboard must be replaced.

BIOS Power Management and EPU2103 was disabled. I still have the problem.

If I take the battery out and put it back in then would that clear the CMOS?
Remove power cord, then clear the CMOS by jumper or button,
i thought you already done this.
See here for guide: >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

What does BIOS update with EC mean? I know what a BIOS update is but what does EC mean?
They probably mean to update BIOS with proper parameters to include addiction ROM holes.
You can ask them for clarify about this, which BIOS you should update and what exact flash command line options to use.

What should I try first?
Try Clear Cmos 1st,
then try to Enable EUP [but it should be already enabled after clear cmos]
but double checking,
else ask them back about BIOS & EC flashing clarify

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.

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
