In cleaning my keyboard, I somehow turned off the Num Pad.  How do I turn it back on?

 

Thanks

Is this a desktop or laptop?  Desktops usually have a NumLock key which, when pressed, forces the nu  pad keys to have only numeric functions.  Try pressing that to see if it changes.  Did you use something WET to clean the pad? If so, you probably got liquid into the keyboard and that has ruined it.

Hello.   This is a Desktop mini Mac.  I cleaned around the edges of the keys with a Qtip.  Keyboard is not ruined, just confused.  thanks

I have pushed the NUM Lock multiple of times.   This same thing happened a year or so ago.  The fix was rather simple

just do not recall what it was.  This is a problem with a 'drive'. or a virus or not being plugged in,.

A MiniMac is an Apple desktop -- and we only provide support for Windows PCs that HP makes and sells.

 

Sorry
