Sorry for bumping a very old post but I had this exact same problem today as described by the OP, this time with a Gateway M-7315U laptop that I was trying out with a Live CD.
For the life of me I couldn't find anywhere on the physical keyboard to enable or disable numlock but down on the touchpad area there was a blue square with a number 1 in it, indicating that numlock was indeed on.
I finally turned it off by enabling the onscreen keyboard, clicking on "123" and disabling the Num Lock key there, which was highlighted in red. Hope this helps someone!

(edit: I did belatedly figure out that FN + Scroll also enables/disables the Num Lock on this particular laptop).
