KEY BOARD i bougt this hp pavilian dv2000 last week and now am facing problem with keyboard, if i press the fn key n keep holding it then the key board works fine other wise the key second options works ( u,i,o,p,j,k,l,m) these are few keys which doesnt work with pressing and hold ( FN ) key.

You need to press PrtScr or Print Screen button to capture the screen to the clip board. I believe on your laptop you need to hold the fn key down to select it. On the bottom left of the keyboard is a key that has fn on it. Any key on your keyboard that has a second function will need the fn key to access this second key function. PrtScr button should be on the top row right hand side of the keyboard.

Hold down the fn key and press the PrtScr key and then you can paste it into a document or paint or whatever. The PrintScreen function works in versions of windows I have ever used, from Windows 3.11 for workgroups to Windows 8.

Hotkeys are combinations of the fn key (lower left of keyboard) and one of the function keys:
Mute and restore speaker sound. fn+home
Increase speaker sound. fn+pg up
Decrease speaker sound. fn+pg dn
To use a hotkey command on the computer keyboard, follow either of these steps:
Briefly press the fn key, and then briefly press the second key of the hotkey command.
- or -
Press and hold down the fn key, briefly press the second key of the hotkey command, and then
release both keys at the same time.
Muting speaker sound (fn+home)
Press fn+home to mute speaker sound. Press the hotkey again to restore speaker sound.
Increasing speaker sound (fn+pg up)
Press fn+pg up to increase speaker sound. Hold down the hotkey to increase speaker sound incrementally.
Decreasing speaker sound (fn+pg dn)
Press fn+pg dn to decrease speaker sound. Hold down the hotkey to decrease speaker sound incrementally.

Keyboards can have various functions for each key that are enabled by first pressing a modifier key. Some keyboards may have an Fn key that stands for 'Function' that are identified by a bluish-purple color.

You would have to hold down the Fn key before being able to use the corresponding function.

Other keys may have items that can only be used once you press the NmLk (Number Lock) key. Usually you only have to press the NmLk key once to enable these alternate functions and then press it again to disable.

your laptop should have a blue FN key (Function) that will work in conjunction with other blue keys on teh keyboard. most laptops this is located in the lower left, next to the ctrl key. Look to the right top on your keyboard for a one labeled numlk. hold down teh left FN key and tap the right num lk key and you just turned off the numbers lock.

There is another option that is a little more intense - if interested let me know that laptop type you have.

Try to press Fn key, hold it down and press the Numlock key.

Hi ya
try and press and hold Fn key (on bottom left) and then press num lock key(top right) with the Fn key held. If not let me know

NumLock is on. Look for the Fn key in the lower left corner, and lookint in the top right, the NumLock key.

Not sure what kind of laptop you have, but on some models check to make sure that the actual physical "switch" is turned on. Usually located in the front or side of the laptop. Sometimes there is a little wireless logo located above the keyboard somewhere. And other times its set as a "function" key. If you see a wireless logo on a F-key (say for example F5), press and HOLD the FN key (FN stands for function, usually located on the lower left of the keyboard) and the corresponding F-key. Hope this helps!
