How do I unlock my laptop keyboard - it types the wrong thing!
Hi,
My Sony Viao laptop has some wierd setting where you can change the keyboard letters to type numbers or symbols. I have no idea how I made this turn on and cannot figure out how to turn it off. Currently, if I type the letter "U" for example, the screen displays a 4.
You have NumLock on. Look to see if you have any key with "Fn" on it - the print would be a different color than the regular keys - also look for a key with "NumLck" on it. To deactivate press and hold the Fn key and press the Numlck key.
nah he probably just used another computer (like how I did a few months ago when i had the same problem).. Sony should really do something about this... like perhaps place a massive sticker (obviously removable) on top of the numpad buttons when the laptop comes in new telling about this (because I have heard of some people actually reinstalling windows thinking that it will solve the problem - it doesn't.. what does is a simple button lol).
This isn't just a Sony problem, but it affects ALL laptops equally.
The number of times I've had calls about this is amazing, but once the problems is described it's easy to fix.
