Portege 4010
 |
B"H
My daughter's laptop, Toshiba Portege 4010 has a keyboard (internal) that only the left side works. The Fn button is not working to turn off the lit num lock light. I thought that maybe if I reset the BIOS it my work. However, I am not sure how to do this or even if this is the correct route to go.

It is possible the keyboard is broken you you need to replace it .
Maybe removing and cleaning or replugging it into the motherboard will help ,see link .

I think what I may need to do is to reset the CMOS. I know in desktops I can remove the battery or flip a jumper switch...not sure how to do this in the laptop. Would upgrading the bios effect it? the num lock light is on and the Fn key isn't working.

yeah that isn't working, it may be the keyboard itself, I am recalling that liquid was spilled on it a while back
