After you disconnect your external monitor and keyboard from your IBM R50e laptop - why do some of the letters come out as numbers?

The external display has nothing to do with it :). You have numlock turned on, turn it off by either pressing function (fn) + numlock or just the numlock key, it depends on try way your computers configured. Usually if your function key is the same colour as the numlock text, you need to do the first key sequence, if not, just try the other :)

Why is the function key on your laptop stuck?

One reason the Fn key may appear stuck is if you recently plugged a full-size keyboard into your laptop and pressed the NumLock key. This key activates the Fn key on the laptop. To return the Fn key to its original state, plug in the keyboard and disengage the NumLock key. Remove the keyboard and test out any of the Fn assigned keys. They should return to normal working status. If it doesn't however, you may require further troubleshooting. You can find out if its the numlock by holding the fn key to type normally. if it types normally then and oposite when released then that's the problem. you can turn it off by holding the fn key and presing either the blue "num <arrow down>" or the blue numlock key. (both are numlock just look different on some laptops.

Some keyboards have and don't have the Num Lock key. If there is then just press the Num Lock or NmLk key. Sometimes you have to hold the Fn button with the Num Lock key. If there is no Num Lock key on your keyboard then just follow these steps: START -> ALL PROGRAMS -> ACCESSORIES -> ACCESSIBILITY -> ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD -> NLK.
