Hi,

I have recently had my laptop (sony vaio) system restored. Everything is working fine, apart from the keyboard...

When I press a number key, it thinks that it is an F1 shortcut key. E.g. If I press 1 a help screen appears, 5 the page refreshes etc. The only way I am able to type the actual numbers is to press the fn key at the same time. Any ideas??

Also, my shift key does not work.

Thanks in advance!

this has worked in the past:

PRESS Fn + shift + number lock keys
