RE:

How to use ALT codes on a laptop?

Right, I need to use alt codes on my laptop. My laptop does not have a numpad, but also doesn't even have a numlock key, so I can't just hold fn+alt and use MJKLUIO789.

I tried the on screen keyboard too, but it only allows me to do one character alt codes, such as ALT+1, but not...

Find the Alt Code you need from the alt code tables on this site or from the downloadable Alt Code list.

Make sure that "Number Lock" is switched on.

There should be a light on your keyboard indicating this.

If not, press the "Number Lock" key at the top left of the numeric keypad.

Hold down the "Alt" key to the left of the space bar and key the code on the numeric keypad.

Don't release the "Alt" key until after you've typed the alt code. When you release it you should see the special character you include.

Instructions for entering Alt Codes on a lap top

Even if you have a laptop or a keyboard with no numeric keypad - you can still use alt codes.

Look for a "function" or "fn" key normally near the bottom left of the keyboard.

Look for a button with "num lock" written in the same colour which is usually near the top right of the keyboard.

While holding "function" press and relase "num lock".

Enter alt codes using the method above but to enter the actual numeric alt code use the keys with numbers in the same colour as the function (fn) key. Normally "U" has 4 on it for example.

Switch "num lock" off in the same way as you switched it on to continue using your keyboard normally.

If you don't have a NumLck key (not even an F-key that's NumLck when you press the blue FN key), I don't think you can do it. This is one reason that laptop was cheaper than the others. Fewer features.

Sorry.

buy a usb num keyboard(pad)... sorry if that didnt help
