Make sure that the external numeric keypad is correctly connected
to the computer via a port replicator.
Problem:
All or some keys on the external keyboard do not work.
Solution:
To use an external keyboard, you need to attach it to the computer
via a port replicator or through the keyboard/mouse cable. Make sure that:
v
The keyboard cable is correctly connected to the computer (if the keyboard
is connected to the computer via a port replicator).
v
The keyboard/mouse cable is correctly connected to the computer via a
port replicator.
v
The keyboard cable is connected to the correct side of the keyboard/mouse
cable.
If these connections are correct, disconnect the keyboard/mouse cable from
the port replicator and make sure that the keyboard operates properly. If the
built-in keyboard works, there is a problem with either the cable or with the
keyboard. Try using a different keyboard/mouse cable or external keyboard.
Problem:
The internal numeric keypad does not work.
Solution:
If you connect an external numeric keypad or an external keyboard
with a numeric keypad, the internal numeric keypad is disabled. Use the
external numeric keypad instead.

conditions:
v
When the computer is turned on.

When the computer resumes normal operation.
