    laptop keyboard problem

    you know on the keys on your laptop that some buttons have two functions eg. the letter ''O'' also has a small NO.6 in the corner. well every time i press ''O'' 6 is typed instead? it just changes today along with another few numbers because of those damn Romanians (i don't hate all Romanians just a few in particular) that i complained about on the say anything thread.
    one of the (insert appropriate) lent on the keyboard and since them I've been encountering this problem?

    i can be a tad useless with computers at times and i cant seem to get it back the way it was so just hoping someone here has an idea of whats wrong and how to fix it?
    hope i made some semblance of sense..

    thanks in advance

    Fn key should be bottom left, but sounds like you don't have a number pad so probably need the num lock key, should be top right somewhere
