Blue numbers and symbols on keyboard?

[Trixiebelle]

Hi all

I am desperate please.  I need to know how to access the blue numbers and symbols on my keyboard.  I have a pavilion dv6 laptop and i cant seem to get to the numbers no matter how i try to combine the fn key.  Can anybody please help me?  I also looked for a numlock key on the keyboard but cannot find it, unless it does not say numlock and just have a symbol on it.  Can anybody please help me?

Thanks so much

Regards

Hi,

1. To use the blue symbols on keyboard, you need to hold down the blue Fn key first. You may also need to look at this to turn the Fn key on:

2. Your laptop and nearly all 15", 15.6" laptops do not have room (physically) for a separate numeric keypad therefore no point to include the numlock key. You can buy something like this if you wish:
