I suggest you bring it a tecnician to open the laptop.. It may save you money rather than buying a new set of keypads,, Maybe there is just something in ther that blocked the key from working.. If possible, watch while your laptop is being opened. if it is not a reputated technicial, he might replace some parts there.. just be careful
Glad to help YOU!
Nope, you don't have to REPLACE the ENTIRE KEYBOARD!
All you have to do is to take the keyboard out and to clean the CONNECTOR of that key (and to blow a little the rest of the keyboard, just to clean it up entirely...). WARNING!!! Take care of the cable that connects the keyboard to the motherboard; detach the WHITE PLUG slowly - making sure you ill not break it! Otherwise your keyboard will become useless...!
GOOD LUCK!
You have to replace the keyboard.
Examine your keyboard to ensure your "Number Lock" key is not activated.
This activation is indicated by the key being lit up.
If the key is activated, press it to deactivate the lock.
The number lock key will deactivate an entire segment of your keyboard
Start, click Run, and type regedit to open the Windows registry editor.
In the registry, open the below folders.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Control Panel\
Keyboard\
Within the keyboard folder, you should have a string value named "InitialKeyboardIndicators" with a value of 0, 1, or 2. Below is the explanation of each of these values.
0 = Num Lock is turned OFF after the logon.
1 = Disable Num Lock.
2 = Numlock is turned ON after the logon.
hope this helps
