Check you computer's documentation for functions to active number
pad/keypad "lock". Most notebook computers I've seen have a special
shift key that is used with the function keys to activate and deactivate
these features. The computer might have an onscreen support/help feature
instead of a printed manual.

I think my problem's like yours. My right arrow key and Insert key beeeeeeps when I press it, and it's not detected. so they are both not working. I've tried many threads, this one is the most helpful. But it still can't work.
If there's no solution, is there a way I can assign the right arrow function to another key?
