VAIO PCG 505BX laptop keyboard

[mcoligny]

While working with outlook via remote assistance connection where we were simply making a back up file of outlook....the keyboard on the laptop generated charecters that were not the same as the keys pressed. Interestingly t e s t works but other keys do not. For example abcdefgh are ok then in order 51230n6 instead of ijklmnop...etc.

Any ideas how to proceed would be welcomed. Forget asking sony for help!

You have num lock turned on ,the ijklmnop keys are set as number keys .
should be a key along the top row to change this ,look for one with numlock on it or something like that .may even be a keypad icon on it ,
,using the FN key on the bottom row and the key on the top row together to make the change .
