Hello,
I have problem with my hp pavilion laptop . When the num lock is ON i can't write letters L, U and some other letters.
Fn+num lock does not help. I tried fn + F11 and some other solutions from the forum as well, but had no luck. I have that problem only when the num lock i is ON, otherwise i can write those letters.
Could someone PLEASE help me with this.
thanks

Hi There

If you’re writing numbers instead of letters when you press the keyboard of your laptop and you must hold down the Function key (Fn) to write normally.

This is due to the fact that the digital lock is activated. To solve this, simply press the Fn+Numlk or depending of the model, press the button or Fn + Shift +Numlk

Hope This Helps

This all may or may not work above..but the another way is to go into your accessories and find your on screen keyboard ,,then use your mouse to turn off and on your number lock this will clear it....tony
