I had this type of episode this week with an IBM ThinkPad R51, changing the bios
setting had no desirable effect, the NUMLK was on at boot and windows logon, however
the desired state was attained once a physical change was made to the hardware, in
my case docking the laptop had that positive effect and I could not recreate an undesirable
one. This took several hours of testing to finally reach this position, and it has
happened more than once with this model unit in my workplace, but this is one side
of the coin that might be tried.
