I dont know why but my young brother laptop (Dell) keeps turning the FN button back to default, I mean, the buttons fn+F1 fn+F2 fn+F3 (mute, volume down and volume up). turn volume just by pressing them, not the FN button. It used to work the vice versa. I changed it many times in bios, but it keeps changing everytime..
how to solve this?
Jump to PostOn my Dell laptop I can toggle the top row between
function keysandmedia keysby pressingFn+ESC. PressingFn+F1toggles the mute and occasionally I missF1and pressescby mistake (thereby toggling the function keys). Perhaps this is what is happening with you.
I wish you had the exact model but the last time I saw this, the setting was in the BIOS.
