How to enable or disable the Integrated Number Pad on a Laptop Keyboard
A lot of laptops today don't necessarily come with an actual numpad. You'll find that the numpad keys are shared with the numbers 7, 8, 9, and the letters U, I, O, J, K, L and M, as illustrated below.
In order to use it, you have to press the fn + num lk together. You will then see the little light above num lk light up. After you do this, you will be able to use the numpad for the numbers instead of the letters.
When you're finished using the numpad, again click fn + num lk together, making sure that the light above num lk goes out. Now you'll have the use of the letters again.
