Only Fn key not working

Inspiron 8100..I inadvertently  shut screen down which sent computer into standby mode reducing screen size for some reason.  Its usually a quick fix to hit Fn key and F7 (font) however for some reason my Fn key is not responding.  There is nothing stuck, I have popped open the key and try to depress it that way and no luck.  Someone had suggested deleting the keyboard driver and re-installing to no avail.  Any suggestions on another way to adjust the screen, it driving me crazy I have a 15" screen and am only using half of it.  Please help......

    I think you need a new keyboard. I could be wrong, but it sounds like the switch underneath the Fn key is broken.

    Make sure the F Lock key is not toggled on. It's usually on the upper right, top row.

    can't seem to find Fn lock key... seems likely that would be it, since it's only that key that doesn't work and its not stuck.
