You just need to find the “num lk” key and press it to release the number lock.

Hi Edie,
I tried to press the “numLk” key but it only maximized and minimized a window and still the numbers for the letters U4,I5, O6, P-,J1,K2, L3, etc…

Please help.
Thank you very much.

Hi eric. Sorry. I’ve been away from the computer and just discovered your reply.
Hmm. I can’t figure out what is going on with your computer. I’m going to try to find someone who might be able to help, ok?
Have you tried rebooting, just as a starting point? Sheesh, I see that you aren’t even on now. How long has this been going on? Edie

eric, do you have a users manual? those numbers are for the calculator, I believe. I am not familiar with the Aspire, but I think that somehow you have to disengage the calculator function.That is what the “Fn” button is. A function key.
LOL I may LOVE computers, but I am just about the most computer illiterate person ever. But I really would like to try to get you through this! Going to check online.
If you get it fixed before I get back, please let me know what it was. Edie

Hi Edie,
My problem is already resolved by the help of the Acer email techsupport, by pressing the keys “Fn” then “NumLk”.
I thank you also by replying to my query. More power to you.
