Fn Key not working

For some reason the "Fn" button on one of our old 8000's seems not to work. Kinda seems like it is disabled. If anyone has any ideas how to re-enable, it would be greatly appreciated.

Does the lappy still have the dell quickset installed? A lot of the FN functions won't work without that software.

The old C series didn't have Quickset.  It was in our BIOS as long as the OS was ACPI compliant (ended with W98 for me).  I would guess the key is faulty or sticking.  You could run the Dell Diagnostics and do the keyboard test.  You could ebay a different keyboard.

My bad, I'm too used to  my new machine now, too long since I had my i8200
