Keys swapping after Vista hibernate on a dv4-1125nr

Hi guys,

I had a quick question about something odd that just happened that I've never seen before, where I left my HP pavilion on hibernate over night, turned it back on, and found that some of the keys on the keyboard had been mapped differently.

I don't know if I'm explaining this correctly, or using the right terminology, but while I'd say 80% of the keys were correct, I'd get some weird mixes where pressing an "m" would give a "0" (zero) for example, and others.

Also, when I used the mouse to go through the start menu (running classic mode) to restart my computer, I'd click on the restart button but nothing would happen. I had to use the keyboard to select "restart", and press enter.

I managed to restart the computer, and everything's back to normal (for now....).

Has anyone else had this problem of mixed keys?

I just purchased a HP dv4-1125nr from bestbuy with the following specs

Vista Premium 64
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T5800
4 GB ram
running Avira antivirus
Comodo firewall

Please let me know if you need any more info, and thanks in advance!

 

Noone's had this issue before?

 

Hi Welcome to NBR.

Yes its a silly issue.

Your NUMLOCK is ON.

Look at your M key, you will see a Zero next to it.

 

oh! thanks for that! heh, guess I'm not used to the HP keyboard layout.
