Numbers on my laptop

[george_1988]

Hey

I have an Evesham laptop (UK). On the keyboard there are numbers in purple and the manual says you need to hold in the FN key to be able to type with the numbers.

It doesn't work and was wondering if anyone knows how to use them? I know there are numbers along the top of the keyboard but I would like to know how to use these too.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Yes you will need a keyboard driver from the manufacturer in order to use most of the special FN keys.

Thanks for your replies. I will have to look for those on the web somewhere as no standard keyboard drivers came with my notebook.

Thanks again.

Is it not FN + NumLk to be able to type with the numbers?

Either that or SHIFT + NumLK...I'm not quite sure which but it's definitely one of those!

Make sure the FN key is not stuck as well. I had one client whos "FN" key was not working, because it was bad key.
