255292 2004-07-25 03:59:00 I have purchased a second hand IBM Thinkpad and it appears that the keypad seetings are set so that the numbers on keys JKL, UOI and the
&*() are turned on and the letters are turned off.
Being second hand there was no manual - Can someone help me with the stting to turn the letters back on please

255294 2004-07-25 04:10:00 This would usually be one of the extended function options. ("Fn" key plus one of the F keys --- look for extra legends on the front of keys). There may be a default option set in the BIOS (look for NumLock). Graham L (2)
