acer aspire 5 Number lock always stays on / reset itself

pgallo123

Hi,

I have an acer aspire 5. I have to always hit the number lock to get the pad to work when I turn it on / wake it up.

this is the dumbest thing ever and frustrates me to no end.

Id like my numbers on the number pad to stay on forever. is there a way to do this?

thanks

The NumLK key stays on, and it gets switched off if you turn the laptop off or reboot it, and then you have to press the NumLk key again, there is no setting in the bios for this as its not a big problem.

Thanks for your reply StevenGen,

So I have to hit the button every time?

there is no workaround to fix this permanently?
