Cannot enable numeric keypad on Studio 1537
I wanted to use the numeric keypad located within the keyboard. I pressed the NUM LK key to turn it on, but when I pressed on the alpha/num keys, the letters displayed, not the numbers. I checked my system manual to see if I was doing something wrong and it said that's what I was supposed to do. I searched for articles on Dell support and found an article that talked about updating the BIOS setup. It said to press ALT + P and a page is supposed to display where you can enable the numeric keypad. I accessed the system setup but didn't see anything regarding enabling the numeric keypad. When I pressed ALT + P, it just beeped.

The numeric keys are labelled with a different colour than the letters... the same colour as the Fn key on the keyboard next to the Windows key. You should be to use the numeric keys by pressing Fn and the corresponding number/symbol.
