    hi

    i dont know about the @ it usualy is on the 2 key by pressing the "Alt Gr+2" or pressing "Ctrl+alt+2"

    the numeric keys are activated and deactivated by pressing the Fn key, next to the ctrl, and the F11 (NumLk)
    so it would be Fn+F11(NumLk). When activated the led shall lit

    the Fn button enables you to use all the blue related keys....

    by the way im using XP on a AOA110-Aw

    Dont know if it is much of help ... but ive tried :)

    I had this to begin with - I'd get " when I wanted @ and vice versa, plus a couple of other issues

    In my case, it was the keyboard setting. I'm in UK, but this was set to English US-International (called EN on the taskbar icon), though it's a UK spec model with the keyboard labelled as I'd expect.

    To change: from the desktop go to Settings down in the right corner, then Keyboard Layout. Tick your choice and set it as default. I think I remember a restart was needed. You could tick more than one if you wish, and switch between them from the taskbar icon.

    Apologies if it's not that, and I can't help
