Hi adibah,
This might happen due to a software problem or the problem might be with the actual key itself. I would like to know when you are not able to use this key. Are you using the Fn key to navigate to the BIOS or Run diagnostics or this is happening only in Windows? Also reply with the Dell Laptop Model Number in your post.
Please do write back to us.
