    Hi,

    How do I disable the feature where when the Num Lock is activated it makes some letters be numbers. I have a separate number pad with this laptop so this feature is annoying and un-needed.

    It never use to be like this, only started a few weeks ago.

    My prt sc key does not work either, I have tried it with the FN key, shift + ctrl :(

    Can anybody help please?

    Thanks a lot,
    Stephen

    what program are you pasting the printscreened image into?
    its probably not a keyboard problem since fn works for other things
    also, does the printscreen key work without the fn (as the home key)?

    Paint.

    Without the FN key when I press it, it takes me to the top of the page.

    Do you know why they letters input numbers??

    Thanks,
    Stephen

    the letters are inputting numbers because that is a feature of the keyboard
    i think theres no other way to stop it other than to disable numlock

    i cant think of any reason why print screen though, you may want to replace the keyboard if you are still under warranty

    Hi,

    Just spoken to who repaired this laptop.

    They said that they forgot to do a DMI Update, so that's why the keys are not working. They said it has to be sent in again.

    Any other way to fix this??

    Thanks
