Why is my number pad not working?

My number pad (right of the keyboard) is no longer working, as if the NUM Lock is off. there is no physical NUM LOCK key, so I have no idea how to fix this myself.

Dell seems to have more keyboard issues, at least in my experience with the E6540. Granted, my E6440 was fine with the original keyboard before I did the keyboard/palmrest swap, but it does happen on these more than other brands like HP and Lenovo. That said, check if the num lock key is dead or just disabled (lock with 9 as the “key”)—sometimes you get lucky.

The DP/N is 564JN (US English Backlit) or M8F00 (US English non-backlit) if you need to replace it. With this machine, you can often find the backlit version for a few bucks more so I'd encourage you to fix that issue if yours is too cheap not to include it; it's a ~$5-10 upgrade. In addition to the fact that the upgrade is so cheap when it fails to fix a configuration mistake, it can be converted by swapping the cable, and the BIOS will take it right away; no coding is needed. If I had to do it again on a machine I know is upgrade-ready like these, I'd do it again.

At least on my E6440 when I ditched the E5440 keyboard (it was a low end model with the LVDS 768p LCD and no webcam as well), it took it right out of the gate, even lacking the buttons; I later added them via a used palmrest in better condition to complete the upgrade. Since I already put an HD+ screen on the unit, what harm am I doing by upgrading the keyboard since I drifted from the original spec when I also had to replace the keyboard AND I got a good deal on the better parts?

Hi,

Check if Number Lock has been disabled in BIOS.

Start the laptop and press F2 before the laptop boots into Windows i.e. when the Dell logo is on the screen.

When in BIOS use the arrow keys to navigate through the menus.

Go to the Post Behavior menu > Numlock Enable and verify that it shows enabled.

Here’s the service manual for the laptop. See p.64 for how to enter BIOS setup and p.70 for the Number lock entry.
