Okay, can someone tell me what this lit icon on keyboard is... I'm not even sure what you call it. For those of you who have the E1705, there are several symbols between the MediaDirect button and the Power button. Sometimes they will be lit, depending on how you have your comuter set up. What is the one closest to the MediaDirect direct button...it looks like small box with a handle with the number 9 in the middle. Sometimes it is lit up and sometimes it's not. I can't figure out what it's for! Sorry if this post sounds so ridiculous, I just don't know the "technical" name for them.

That is the nums lock light. If you are familiar with the light on standard desktop keyboards - it is the same thing. If your numslock is on, then the light shows up.

There is also a scroll lock light (next to the nums lock light), then Wifi light, and finally the bluetooth light.

Hopefully that is the right order. I don't have my laptop with me, so i'm trying to do that from memory.

Thank you! I knew what all the other ones were for, I just couldn't figure out that first one.
