Fn Key Broken..

Expand Post »
Hello,

I'm having trouble with my Sony Vaio Laptop -- it's a 2004 pcg-k23. But the problem doesn't seem very complicated..i just can't find the solution. My Fn key is broken, and i was wondering if there were any alternatives -- 3rd party programs -- that would let me change brightness/ volume/ and such.. Thank you for responses ahead of time~!

Janyu-:eek:

Edit: Main problem: My laptop is on the lowest brightness at the moment(very dark)..hard to read..just annoying on my eyes.

Re: Fn Key Broken..

You can adjust the brightness i think in the BIOS.

I don't really know of any 3rd party apps that does whet you want.

Re: Fn Key Broken..

Find out if something has ever remapped your keyboard (e.g. foreign language or Dvorak mapping). It may have thrown away the special mapping for the Fn key.
