Keyboard Fn key (by 4 users)

posted by hamozza on Jan 06, 2008


i have aspire 5630
some keys act as if the Fn key is pressed
it is not jammed i checked and another proof is that some other keys work normally and i have to press Fn to get them to do their other functions -such as lower volume-
it's really annoying because all the following keys do not work normally
poiu';lkj/.,m
instead when i press them i get
-654+321/.,0

I have just managed to solve the problem I think. Try using the Fn key to turn off the number lock -- Hold down "Fn" and tap "F11". It seems number lock is on by default in some situations!
I found that pressing F12 & the Num lock / Scroll lock key beside it toggles the FN lock on and off on my laptop.
Hope that's helpful as it was driving me nuts for a while

Try hooking up and external key board see if that works ok, and if it does you may want to try to find a new or used key board for your laptop. The key board may be shot, It should be fairly easy to change to a new board, Hopefully That will help you diag. the problem..
