Fn key not working

Question

I have lost the use of the Fn key.  I used it to check the battery level, and also to eject the CD's.  My question is how can I restore the use of this key?   Thanks in advance for your help.   nh1214

Hi,

It may be a faulty KBD, which you will have to replace. It would be worth running the Diags, before buying a replacement.

Before you replace the keyboard, first try a complete shutdown and restart. 1) turn off LT. 2) remove battery. 3)remove power plug. 4)wait a few hours, or better yet overnight.   Reconnect everything power up and see how she goes. It works for me. . . so far. I still don't know what causes the Fn+key to stop working in the first place. -steve

Suggest cleaning your KBD with compressed air.
