I have a laptop, samsung 700z. A couple days ago I noticed the number nine wasn't working on my numpad. Tried the nine on the horizontal number line[whatever that is called] and it didn't work either.
I checked and function lock was off. NumLock was on. All other keys on the board work properly. Now if the nine from one of the keys went out but not the other I would assume it was faulty or something along those lines. But why/how would both keys go out at once?
Shift+nine will not give me the parentheses symbol. The nine on my numpad has a pgup function that also does not work when holding or locking function. Any ideas? I'm getting sick of having to constantly copy the number to my clipboard. Thanks!

Try a usb keyboard. If the 9's work from that you probably need a new laptop keyboard.

Haha thanks for the nines Crumist! Tried your suggestion but unfortunately that didn't help.
I'll try that mycomyst. Don't have one lying around at the moment but I'll try to remember my laptop next time I head to a friends that has a desktop.

Maybe they keyboard software didn't install right, try and look for a better version, if that's not it then its a hardware problem and then its up to your computers manufacturing company.

That's not it, I can guarantee that much. It's most likely a broken key. Try lifting the key and see if some debris has stuck underneath it.
