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?

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • Num lock key reversed...

    Somehow, my num lock key got reversed on MBP. The green light comes up if it is OFF. I.e. I can type normally, if green light is off, typing O =6.
    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?

  • Minor Keyboard Issue: Caps Lock and Num Lock indicator lights are wrong.

    For a few hours, I have been having a small issue with my PowerBook G4 keyboard. The green indicator lights for Number Lock and Caps Lock are indicating incorrectly.
    Thus, in order to be able to type lowercase, I must keep the Caps Lock key light on, which subtly annoys the **** out of me [Apple edited out "heck" ]. Num Lock is worse, because I can actually see it; it isn't usually covered by my left hand. Very distracting.
    Rebooting did not resolve this issue. Neither did monkeying with the Keyboard system preferences. If I could just turn the lights off altogether that would be fine with me.
    This is a recent 15-inch PowerBook G4 1.67 Ghz, with the dual-level dvd burner and (I believe) the internal keyboard is USB, now, instead of ADB as (I believe) many of the older ones had been, so many of those hacks like fkeys and Ucontrol and so on are not options (I believe).
    Any ideas? Thanks,
    Nick
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   15 inch, USB keyboard (I believe).

    I finally got it working again, I took the power out and the battery out while it was running. I made sure there were no USB/FireWire/PC-Card stuff connected when I did this. When it booted back up it was normal again.
    I also figured it happened because I put in a kyocera EVDO pc card into the laptop while it was in sleep. When it woke back up it went nuts and had to be rebooted several times.

  • 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

  • Elitebook9470 not turning on,scroll and cap lock keys light up

    I have an elitebook9470 which is about 2 years old. When I turn my laptop on the keys light up but the monitor remains blank. Then the scroll and caps lock keys light up however nothing appears on the monitor. I have charged my laptop and I am unsure if it is related to low power. I have tried attaching the laptop to an external monitor but no signal appears. Any help regarding this will be appreaciated. thanks for your help.

    Hi @Nush 2015 ,
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
    Even though this is a Commercial product, try performing a hard reset.
    When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    Here is a link on computer does not start.
    You could reset the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings.
    Hope this helps you out.

  • 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.
    Any ideas?

    Try the clear button on a extended keyboard. Above the 7 to the left of = on numeric keypad.

  • 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,

    After I turned off my MBP, I came back a few hours later and now it wont start. The screen stays black but, when I hit the power button the caps lock keys has a solid green light. It stays for a few seconds-1minute. What do i do?

  • When backlight is off Caps Lock and Num Lock keys flicker slightly

    I recently noticed that on my very new MacBook when I leave the backlight to turn off, the caps lock and num lock lights flicker green. This is a very low level of light coming from it. Is anyone else having this problem and is it very serious?

    I doubt it means anything. You might consider leaving it like that for a while and then checking to see if your battery ran down like the computer was awake. Or you could close the lid. At least that way you don't have to see the flicker.
    If you said the lights flicker at full intensity, that might mean a loose connection or a bad resistor on a chip, etc.
