Let me explain how my laptop works: (it's a Dell)

On the keyboard there is an Alt key and next to it an Fn key in light blue. I don't have a separate number pad on my laptop like I do on my main PC. But there is one that functions off the main keys. (eg, M = 0, J = 1, etc. [there are faint light blue numbers on the particular keys])

By pressing the Fn and Alt keys at the same time, then holding them down while you punch in the code for the accented letters, you should be able to get the accented letters.

For ë it's hold down the Fn+Alt keys while punching 0235 - when you let go of the Fn+Alt keys, the accented letter appears.

Don't worry about it though - maybe your laptop simply doesn't have the capability
