Numeric pad will not function as a numeric pad

[LearninToFly]

Scroll lock is not on as far as I can tell. The keyboard you have there looks exactly like mine. (Please tell me what your /system/keyboard/keyboard model setting is) Mine is set for a Dell SK-8125 at present. (trying to find a setting that was compatible)
  The reason for saying "as far as I can tell" is that the scroll lock light AND/OR button is not working.

Hi LearninToFly.

Is the Scroll-Lock key on? If so see if you can turn it off. It may be labelled ScrLk or something similar.

 Since installing Linux lite the numeric pad has acted only as a mouse pointer. I have a HP keyboard on my Dell 4550, but the HP keyboard model number: KB-0630 is not listed the Settings/Keyboard/Keyboard model. It makes no difference if the Number Lock is on or off the number pad will not type a number, it will only use the arrow keys to move the cursor. Please help me to find the settings to change my numeric pad into a true numeric pad.
