      My guess would be that you are running some software that
      talks directly to the 8041 ( or 8042 ) keyboard controller,
      and that software may have 'mistakenly?' switched on/off the
      numlock light.  If you look in the tech ref for your machine
      you will find that its a fairly easy task to turn  on/off the
      keyboard lights, and that their state relative to the actual
      state of the keyboard is one of convention not requirement.
      This is the most probable explanation of your problem...
      Hope it helps..
