    Sony Vaio laptop keyboard stuck in numeric mode
    Hi. My keyboard has accidentally m6ved and stuck in numeric pad mode so

    u=4, I=5, o=6, p=*
    j=1, k=2, l=3
    etc

    I have no idea how. I have rebooted but no change.
    Have tried for on-links but no luck.
    Have tried all function keys I can see.
    Typing this using function key to get letters.

    otherwise, it would look like this.

    6therw5se, 5t w643d 3662 352e th5s.

    Can you tell me what to do to return it to normal. Urgent since I am working on report.

    Many thanks.

    If it is not the NUM lock, It may be a Fn+?
    I have a sony in the other room will try and then get back.
