Numbers not displaying what I press on the keyboard

Asked By Sean Bowman 0 points N/A Posted on - 04/20/2012

Hello techyv,

I have a problem with my laptop keyboard.  Everytime I type a number, it doesn't reflect the correct number like number one is '1, and number two does not have an output at all.

Please help!

Numbers not displaying what I press on the keyboard

Hello Sean Bowman,

Judging from what you said, your problem might have been accidentally triggered by you pressing the function key along with the num key which switches the functions from letters to num pad so don't bother going to service centers or have to pay an IT guy, unless its a friend. I have experienced this same problem before and a solution worked for me. To solve this problem, try pressing the function key and num key again to revert the functions of the number keys on your laptop. If the problem persists, try pressing function key and the scroll key instead of the num key.

I hope this helps.

If the problem is with your keyboard like it displays a different character when you press a key, you should check the language that is configured with your keyboard in the Control Panel. You need to check your default input language because this is the default language that your keyboard is using.

If the input language is defaulted to a different language and not English, the buttons on your keyboard will generate different characters. To fix the problem, click “Start,” “Control Panel” then “Region and Language.” If you don’t see this, set view to “Small icons.” In “Region and Language” window, go to “Keyboards and Languages” tab then click “Change keyboards.”

In “Text Services and Input Languages” window, in “General” tab, select “English (United States) – US” as the “Default input language” then click “OK” all throughout. If this doesn’t work, try using another keyboard. If the problem doesn’t appear when using a different keyboard, replace your keyboard with a new one.
