Please open Device Manager and uninstall what is showing under "Keyboards". If you're unsure on how to perform these steps, follow this link:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03540049&lc=en&product=5450010&tmp...
Once you have uninstalled the keyboard driver, restart your notebook and it should automatically reinstall for you.

  • Restart the computer.
  • The keyboard should now work correctly.

  • Notebook key presses are slow to respond
    If there is a short delay from the time a key is pressed to the time the character displays on the screen, the Filter Keys function might be activated.

To disable Filter Keys and return to the default keyboard behavior, use the following steps:
    1. Click Start , and type keyboard in the Search box. Then select Change how your keyboard works under Control Panel.
    2. Remove the selection from Turn on Filter Keys. Then click Set up Filter Keys.

    Can't get the number lock key to work

    Windows Key + U
    Click 'On Screen Keyboard'
    Bottom right hand side there is a button says 'NumLock', it will be white if on, black if off.
    If this OK and not working, it sounds like the keypad itself is faulty. Try a factory reset before deciding to change the keypad. BIOS reset also may help.

    Asus a6 laptop keyboard problem

    your number lock is on. Since there is not enough room on a laptop for the right hand number pad you find on many desktop keyboards, they incorporate it into the text keyboard. Generally there is a key in the upper right side to toggle the number lock, also if you enter the bios mode and check that number lock is not enabled on boot.
