    After reinstalling windows, the fn+numpad function is not working. Other fn keys work fine such as brightness setting and battery meter. I've read some comments that this can be solve by disable numlock key in the BIOS but I can't find that in my BIOS. Any solution?

    I went through the manual it says nothing about disable num lk key or anything but clearly I can't use fn+keypad properly like it supposed to be as it is written in the manual. Anyone knows where can I get the keyboard driver? I emailed HP support couple of times but they didn't know what i'm talking about and kept telling me to turn num lk on to use keypad. Frustrating!!

    Nfsuw, your proposed method works like charm, yet User Guides states: "To change the function of a keypad key to keypad functions while the keypad is off, press and hold the fn key while pressing the keypad key." This is the way I want to type in some of numbers. Is that doable?
