keyboard stuck
my keyboard is stuck on "Fn" setting, so "I" becomes "5", "M" - 0 etc.

The Fn enables the NumLock toggle on those combo keys. I guess that depends on the manufacturer. On Dells, holding down the Fn key switches the Numlock key to Scroll Lock. |

All of the laptops (HP, Averatec, Dell 1000) that I have without a separate numeric keypad are required to press and hold the Fn key while tapping the NumLock key to toggle the alpha keys to and from the embedded numeric keypad. Those that have a separate numeric keypad also have a separate NumLock key that may toggle another feature. Those that I have that have separate keypads are an HP and a Compac. One toggles ScrollLock and Insert the other is totally separate keys for each feature like a normal keyboard. When I answered the OP it appeared from his statement that he had an embedded keypad within the alpha keys on his keyboard and would need to do exactly what I said. Of course with a separate NumLock key or keypad your answer would be right on. |

Of course with a separate NumLock key or keypad your answer would be right on. On the current Dell laptops we have, the "number pad keys" can be used by holding down "Fn" and pressing the individual "letter keys", OR pressing the Numlock key to toggle them to remain active. The "Numlock" key is also the "Scroll Lock" key when the Fn is held down. So, I guess we need to point the user to RTFM? grin |
