fn key to access "numberpad"

my vaio has blue numbers on some of the letter keys which make up a kind of numberpad, accessed using the blue Fn key. somehow this has become permanently activated so that i now get the numbers not the letters when pressing those keys, and i have to hold down the Fn key to get the letters.

this does not affect the functions, e.g. brightness on f5 f6, which work as normal.

how can i undo this and get my letter keys back? holding down fn all the time whilst typing is a bit awkward...

restarting the machine does not solve this...

Do you see a NUM LOCK key?

Dammit. That was too obvious.

Thanks!

I got so focussed on the "Fn" key I never thought of num lock.
