thanks so much!!! it was so annoying having to type holding fn key. tried to disable it in the bios but there was no option there. i'm so happy! thank you!!!!!
I have the same problem. I have no num or scroll lock on my Dell laptop, so I can't turn off or on the Fn key. Best bet it just finding something to hold it down, unless anyone can think of a better solution.
start yr netbook, when it show Dell loading screen, press F12 (boot options).
pick the bottom option (enter setup)
n then choose the second tab from the left with yr keyboard (Advanced).
pick the option "function behavior" press enter
the choices are multimedia and function.
from what I read, yr fn behavior must be at multimedia. so pick the other one. and choose exit tab, save changes and exit.
thats all..
n you dont hv to repeat this step everytime you start yr netbook, coz its fixed..
hope it'll help.
Hello. Please help. everytime when I logon or anytime ,i have to press Fn and numlock to disable .because appears letters and numbers. How can I disable it not for one time,. I want it away pressing every time. thanks
how about a Toshiba I have tried f11 when booting and don't get the boot screen and I have tried all the other suggestion but still my functions keep working as volume and such
FOR DELL MINI NETBOOKS that have function keys ( FN key) locked o stuck:
You need to press FN and the key that is next to your "space" key (between "space key" and "alt gr") simultaneously! (it's at the bottom of your keyboard, it has two little arrows on it).
It's a miracle! It works!!!!! I am spreading the word because I've been looking at websites fro the last three hours and no one had answers.
