Laptop Keyboard main keys not working

[netuserf]

Hi,

I have a strange problem and I can't find solution on internet. My 2 years old daughter was watching cartoons on my Laptop, she got excited and start hitting buttons on the keyboard. :shock:

I don't know what happened she some how activated an option that I don't know how to turn off. The main keyboard keys are not working instead it use the extra keys arrows, symbols etc

I have turned off the computer, took off battery, search in control panel for option, but I am unable to make main keys to work. What should I do ?

Thanks for your help

I am using Windows 7 home 32bits

4,5,6 and U,I,O are sequences on keyboard. Short circuit problem in keyboard's internal wiring.

Replace keyboard.

ahhh that should be your numpad macro. Look for an icon on the top row of keys on the keyboard that looks like, well, a numpad (like a box with 9 or 10 little dots inside), or it'll say "num???" on it. Hit the FN-key plus that one and vwala, you should be good.

On the U key for when you type U and get 4, do you see a tiny little 4 engraved somewhere on the physical key? And then all the other letters you're mentioning with the numbers you're seeing get typed? That's all part of the numpad function.

Also if the fn key+numpad key doesn't work, it may be the caps key or something else. It'll correspond with the color of that numpad icon (if the brightness, numpad, etc. icons are all orange, look for an orange key on the board).

Wow!! I didn't think about that. That sure is helping him
