Dear all,

I am writing from a brand new SF314-55.

BIOS is updated to the current one (1.07) internal keyboard in BIOS is enabled. When I turn off NumLk and expect that combination Fn + J,K,L and so on will type numbers, it instead acts as different keys, see below (I know that from the site that records your keyboard strokes). I installed all the windows updates, tried to uninstall keyboard drivers, tried to enable and disable internal keyboard, nothing helps. This happens in multiple keyboard layouts (CES and USA). My windows language is Czech. What can I do? When the numlock is on, it writes all the digits and operations as printed on the keyboard.

Fn+
0 is insert
1 is end
2 is down
3 is pagedown
4 is left
5 seems to do nothing
6 is right
7 is home
8 is up
9 is page up
. is delete
, is ,
* is *
/ is /

Many thanks for any replies... I just spent two hours on it and am desperate

    So I found a solution:
    In BIOS internal keyboard enabled.
    NumLock off
    Download AutoHotKey program
    create sript with this contents.
    NumpadEnd:: Send, 1 return NumpadDown:: Send, 2 return NumpadPgDn:: Send, 3 return NumpadLeft:: Send, 4 return NumpadClear:: Send, 5 return NumpadRight:: Send, 6 return NumpadHome:: Send, 7 return NumpadUp:: Send, 8 return NumpadPgUp:: Send, 9 return NumpadIns:: Send, 0 return
    ...

    So it is not a bug, it's a feature? On my Dell laptop when I press Fn + jkl I get 123. On Acer I can write it only with NUM lock on and no Fn pressed. Why cannot I have NUM lock off and write numbers with Fn? Is there any workaround?
