Don't need to buy a new keyboard.
Just go to sony website and download the drivers and updates.
Some models of Sony Vaio requires the drivers to be installed in a certain order for the FN keys to work properly.

How do I fix a blank/black screen.

Hi bjordan5440

The limited information that you have given is very difficult to diagnose a problem with, if you are looking for a solution the more information you supply will give a better opportunity for a diagnosis or possibly a solution to your problem so if you give us more information we can try to give you a better informed solution.

However, if you look at the notebook keyboard you will see a "second function" key normally in blue on the keyboard this key pressed and held in activates the second function on the keys on the keyboard if you look for the F10 function key I think this one might have a picture of a sun on it and a triangle pointing up this is the second function for brightening the screen try this and also look at the F4 key I think this one has a monitor on it and if you accidently pressed the second function key and this button you might have activated the external video feed on your machine, try to press the second function key and then this key, if this does not work it may be a hardware problem with your machine.

Good luck

The f2 doesnt work on dell inspiron9300

do you mean the keyboard F2 key does not work? Change keyboard and test? Otherwise, it may be a two function keyboard where you need to hit a special colour key to get the function keys working. This special key is usually off to the side and may have some graphic indicating toggel between the first and second level of definitions of that physical key. This is true if you see more than F2 on that key.

Hi my nokia 3110c...phone whenever...i switch the phone on...the keypad doesnt work..infact it just works a few seconds as the phone is loading..(enough time to unlock the keypad using the security code)...

Hi, when a keypad does not work on a phone, it is usually caused by dirt inside the keypad area of the phone,you can open the phone and clean up the keypad area.

Sometimes too, as the case may be Chips also can affect the keypad and allows the phone keypad not to function.

There is an IC chip inside that controls the function of the keypad.
You can fixed the IC chip inside the phone by replacing the damaged IC inside the phone.

When you replace the damaged IC .i assure soluton tothe problem.

Take care.
