I goofed.  I thought the keypad would generate numbers if Num Lk was on.  I was wrong.  You still have to press the Fn key to generate numbers (!), so I don't have a solution for you after all.

You have the Num Lock turned on (The padlock with the "9" in it is lit up).  Turn it off by holding down the Fn key and tap the F11 key.

It was the number lock key that did the trick.  Evidently when my granddaughter pulled off the shift key she also pushed down the number lock key.  I knew it had to be something easy.  I am ashamed I did not notice it before I panicked.
