Basically, the keyboard corresponds to the laptop model, which consists of a combination of letters and numbers next to the series and the name of the manufacturer on the case, in the
warranty card and in the instructions for use. In the same place, in the instructions, you can find answers to questions about how to turn on the keyboard on the laptop or turn off, how to get help in the initial diagnosis and other aspects of working with office equipment. There are exceptions when the model can only be determined using the HP Support Assistant program, available on the official website. One of the modern developments in the field of
computer technology is an upgraded laptop model, which offers a numeric keypad as an alternative to a mobile computer. An elegant and compact “soft” laptop expands the range of user capabilities: if necessary, the keyboard can be removed under the screen and convert the concept into a tablet.
A variety of modern keyboards
In addition to digital, a fairly large number of upgraded keyboards have been released recently, created for simplicity and ease of use. These include such types of keypads as flexible, backlit letters and organizer. The soft keyboard is a special kind that is quite common today when operating office equipment. First of all, its advantages include, of course, the ease of transportation and care. Among other things, it is also a whole collection of 3 in 1, which also performs the functions of an Internet phone and a USB hub. Another great upgrade idea is the backlit keyboard. Today, such devices have a different design, functionality and layout. Over the years, such models have been used by the maximum number of users. But there are times when the backlight just gets in the way and it's turned off. The instructions describe all the actions: how to turn it off and how to turn it on. The keyboard on a laptop with a backlight is best purchased for those who work at night, in addition to good visibility, working with such keys is also almost silent.
On various laptop models, the “on and off” key combinations vary, and are regulated by the BIOS or the manufacturer’s proprietary program, which is loaded with the system. Beginners who use the digital concept for the first time often have a problem and the following question: “How to turn on the keyboard on a laptop?” Sufficient space is given to this topic in the instructions and a step-by-step explanation is given. One of the standard options is to use the “Num Lock” key, which is located in the upper left position of the keyboard. But there are models in which the mentioned key is absent, usually it concerns laptop computers in which there is no separate group of digital keys at all. In this case, you should check the functionality of the “Fn + F11” key combination; on the keyboard, these buttons usually belong to the main group and are combined with letters. Alternatively, instead of “F11”, another button of the functional row can be used.
For the case when the desired way to turn on the keyboard does not help, you should use the third non-standard method - using the on-screen keyboard. This program, which is a standard Windows OS application, is called up to the monitor from the main menu. Having opened it, go to the "All Programs" section, in which go to the "Standard" subsection and to the "Accessibility" section, and there already select the "On-Screen Keyboard" sub-item. It can be activated without using the main menu, and by simultaneously pressing the “Win and r” keys and entering the “osk” command and the “Enter” key, and in the interface that appears, you should find the “nlk” button and click it with the mouse.
