Depends on model of laptop.

It will be somewhere in the top right hand corner of the keyboard, if it's labelled in a different colour than the normal keys then you'll need to press the and hold the FN key (bottom right of keyboard) while you press the num lock key

just found this sibers, hope it helps.

I had this problem too. I spoke to Dell Support. Apparently, Fn-F4 turns on the number lock light regardless of whether or not the number lock feature is enabled.



Here is how you enable the number lock feature:

1) While booting up press F2 repeatedly

2) After the Dell logo appears, you will be diverted to a Settings menu

3) Expand "POST behavior"

4) Select "Keypad (Embedded)"

5) Press the "By Num Lock" button

6) Press “Apply”

7) Press “Exit”

Thing is there is no such thing as "a dell laptop"... dell have made loads of different laptops over the years and a single instruction is not going to work for all of them.

It's a bit like asking where the light switch is on a ford car and expecting any answers given to be correct for a ford model t or a brand new focus.

Thank you both for your help, I think I left my brain in bed.
