Hey, everyone.
Customizing the KDE edition on my desktop and I can't manage to have the NumLock key on when booting although I've ticked the appropriate box in Settings.
Any ideas?

Before I do what you suggested, I opened it up, cleaned it, replaced the thermal paste on the CPU and was also able to fix the on-board WLAN card that was not working properly. When I booted up, there was a beeping sound (5 times, probably meaning CMOS battery, which I replaced).
After the beeping ...

Thanks for the answer.
Yes, the laptop is old and I'm sure that's the reason.
I'll try to replace the paste although opening up laptops is not my cup of tea (unlike desktops).
