That's weird :-?
To recap: you press the "num lock" key and the light switches on but you
cannot type any number using the numeric pad. And if you press again the
num lock key, the light goes off and you still get no number when you
type, right?
Could it be a hardware issue? Does the same keyboard work on another
computer or have you tried to attach another keyboard just for testing
purposes?
