Ok, I think this issue will be solved in a few days !

Thanks to you, I finally found the magic lines.

My laptop is : Asus-VivoBook-ASUSLaptop-X421IA-M433IA

The command "sudo i2cdetect -l" return theses lines :

i2c-3   smbus           SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 1 at 0b20      SMBus adapter
i2c-1   smbus           SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 0 at 0b00      SMBus adapter
i2c-6   i2c             AMDGPU DM aux hw bus 0                  I2C adapter
i2c-4   i2c             AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 0                  I2C adapter
i2c-2   smbus           SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 2 at 0b00      SMBus adapter
i2c-0   i2c             Synopsys DesignWare I2C adapter         I2C adapter
i2c-5   i2c             AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 1                  I2C adapter

And now, to turn on the numpad I use this command :

sudo i2ctransfer -f -y 0 w13@0x15 0x05 0x00 0x3d 0x03 0x06 0x00 0x07
0x00 0x0d 0x14 0x03 0x01 0xad

And to turn the numpad off this one :

sudo i2ctransfer -f -y 0 w13@0x15 0x05 0x00 0x3d 0x03 0x06 0x00 0x07
0x00 0x0d 0x14 0x03 0x00 0xad

As I told before, I succeed to turn it on with the "all ports test"
command but wanted to know the good one and I started to test 1 to 6 but
could not guess it was 0 !

I really think that there is no hardware to handle the numpad since
without the correct driver installed, there is no way use the lightpad.
So, i'm sure there is a little program running in background to detect
the zone pressed in the numpad and display the corresponding number.

Someone already wrote such a program and if I could get it work, I would
have printed numbers on a transparent sticky paper and place it on the
numpad. But people who succeed in turning on the numpad will probably
make us a kind of .deb to install and get this thing work ! I trust you
!

Whatever, many thanks for this hack ! Even if I can't use it for now, I
can give the illusion that Linux do the job too ! :-)

Title:
  numpad on touchpad doesn't work in ASUS Zenbook 14

Status in Linux:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have Asus Zenbook 14 UX433FA which I have installed Ubuntu 18.10 alongside 
windows 10. 
  The numeric keypads are within the touchpad and are supposed to be turned on 
by a button on the touchpad. This works well in Windows but doesn't work in 
Ubuntu. 
  I have tried to search for any related problems/solutions online but I 
haven't been able to.
  I will appreciate any suggestion or help.
  Thanks,
