    I got my I6000 last week and just used the Num Lk option tonight. Does anyone else have a problem with their Num Lk? It doesn't work. The light comes on but not actually use the numbers just letters.

    You can use the Fn + # but really why would you want to use it for long number inputs? Does anyone know how to fix it with calling tech support as last resort?

    You have to change the BIOS setting. Reboot your laptop, hit F2 at startup, and in one of the settings, you'll see a deal for numlock. Change it to "numlock only" instead of FN.

    Its a default setting to have it numlock+FN.
