Dell Laptop - Keyboard "Fn" is causing problems!

I can't sign in to use my Dell Laptop. It seems that the blue "Fn" is activated. When I sign in I get the blue numbers vs. letters. How do I inactivate the "Fn". Help?

I think it is not the Fn key but the NumLock that is activated. Look for the key labeled NumLk , this is the number lock. Also check if the light on the notbook with a number (usually number 1) is on. If it is on, yo must deactivate the numlock by pressing it again. It works in toggle mode. Sometimes the numlock is activated together with the shift key, sometimes with the function key.

What worked for me was to press and hold the Num Lk key FIRST and while holding it down, press the blue Function key. This allowed me repeatedly to switch back and forth. Doing the reverse did not work for me.

I can't turn the fn key off
The Fn key (also known as the Function key) is a feature found on most laptop computers. The Fn key allows keys on a laptop computer's keyboard to serve more than one function, a clever way of increasing the utility of the keyboard when space is limited. Dell laptops make good use of the Fn key, and if you own a Dell laptop, you should be aware of where the key is and how to use it.

Open your laptop and turn it on. Then locate the Fn key. It is located on the lower left side of the keyboard, next to the Ctrl key. Press and release the Fn key. Now examine the keyboard carefully. You'll notice that many of the keys have icons or letters and numbers printed in blue upon them. These keys and functions are operated when the Fn key is enabled, as you've just done. Test it out by looking at the lower right side of the keyboard. You'll see two keys with small blue "sun" icons. These control the brightness of the screen. Press the lower one several times and you'll see the screen darken. Press the upper one. The screen brightens. Press and release the Fn key again. Now try using the brightness keys. The screen brightness will not change. You've turned off the Fn key.

There is a lock 9 symbol above my f4 button on my latitude e4300 laptop and i would like to know what this means?
The lock 9 is for num lock.

Usually there is a 'Fn' button on the keyboard of a laptop. It has to be somewhere near the 'ctrl' 'windows' or 'alt' button on the left.

If you press and hold the 'Fn' key and then the numlock 9, you will toggle numlock on and off.

The 'Fn' of the key is normally written in another color. There are several buttons on the keyboard thet has a same color number or sign. To enable this signs and numbers, you have to press and hold the 'Fn' key and then the key with the desired number or sign.

How to turn off blue keys for an Compaq mini cq10??
Hi,

if you are refering to the blue letters or alphabets which are present on the keyboard. HP designs keyboard with a billingual layout in some Notebook models.

The HP "Blue" keys are indeed the "French" input keys or other language keys.

How to use the Blue Symbols or keys on a HP Notebook:

We can activate them by pressing Ctrl+fn+right Shift.To deactivate, press Ctrl+fn+right Shift twice, i.e. Ctrl+fn+right Shift then let go off Shift while still holding Ctrl and fn, then press Shift again.

When you press Ctrl+Fn+Right Shift it will switch to the the billigual layout. That means the blue characters become prioritie.

For example, if you are in the billingual layout, when you press shift+6 you will get a '?' but not the '^' sign.

If you Are writing numbers instead of letters when you press the keyboard of your laptop and you must hold down the Function key (Fn) to write normally.

The keyboard on laptop is locked.
Are any of the keys stuck down?

Does it do this when you reboot the machine e.g. can you press F2 or Del to go into setup?

Also are you familiar with the 2nd function keys onthe laptop (usually defined in blue on the key) to access these you usually press a "Fn" button to activate the blue part. Maybe you activated a keyboard lock by accident. If you have the manual maybe check this or call dell support as previously mentioned.
