Some keys of my IBM laptop don't function well. They give the lower small keyboard numbers instead of normal letters.

How to switch these keys back to their normal values?
 
Have you tried switching Numlock off? If it is those on the right hand side of the keyboard they double up as a numeric keypad.
If this fixes it, somewhere in the CMOS setup there is normally an option to enable numlock at startup or not.

Read the manual....become familiar with the function, the numlock and the capslock keys...

In fact, IBM laptop doesn't have right-hand side small keyboard. Instead, part of its normal keyboard has lower values to simulate a small keyboard.

When I put my laptop on the bas-station, everything works well. But If I use the laptop without the bas-station, the problem comes.

The I hav etried number lock key, FN keys, and combination of Fn and all the other functions keys without any luck.
