    recently ive been having this keyboard issue for like a week now. before this i dont think ive had this problem since i bought my laptop last year.
    when i press numlock some of my keyboard keys change values. ill try to type a smple with numlock engaged:

    the q45c2 br6wn f6x 140*ed 6ver the 3azy d6g

    numlock unengaged
    the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog

    on your keyboard there is a layout of a keypad that can be activated by pressing numlock. This is a feature, not a problem ;)
