If you are saying that the current external num pad stopped working, sometimes devices break. If you are saying that your friend just tried a external num pad and it does not work, this is a different issue. I have found that when looking for an external num pad to work with a laptop using JAWS, you just have to do trial and error until you find one that works with your system configuration. However, I have had continued success with using the rubber Flexi full-sized 101 keyboards and my laptops. They are light weight and easy to carry with you. The down side is that you need a flat surface to work from. I've been known to carry with me a piece of poster board the size of the keyboard.
