    You have option in BIOS for "Num Lock".
    Please try to enable this option...
    Thank you.

    Most likely the num lock LED spoilt. This has happened to me before. Just give Dell a call and they'll replace a new keyboard for you. :)

    Advice: Looks like "Num Lock" issue is very popular.
    So please Turn Off yours in BIOS - because if "Num Lock" LED is always on - It dramatically increase "burn risk"
