It is possible, but how you do it varies from laptop to laptop, but if all else fails, you should be able to hold the capslock key like a shift key, which makes the j k l area of the keyboard a speakup key pad. Whern you release the capslock key, the keys resum their normal function. You can hit shift capslock to actually activate the capslock function for upper case typing. Hope this helps.
