How about on an IBM Thinkpad T30. How do I turn off the Fn Keys

HEEEEELLLP!!! My Compaq Presario Fn problem is similar but it seems THE FN KEY DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I press it over and over trying to release [something]and only get the numbers and no letters. Have tried pressing the Number Lock but it doesn't help.

Thanks!! This has happened to me more than once, usually after a child has got a hold of my laptop! Now I know how to fix it, and how to use the blue keys!!

I have had my laptop for a year but this "fn" has never happened to me. For two days I was wondering how to solve this mistery until I came to this website. Thank you for your help.

Thanks

This helped a lot. Whenever I logged onto a laptop from a domain I could never use the keyboard as I had to hold the key to get certain letters although other users didn't have to. Now I know why!

Thought it was a problem with the profile settings. Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot.!!!!!!! I had to replace keyboard for my laptop some days ago and I was really disappointed that some keys only worked when I was holding down they Fn key. I was about to return the new keyboard and solution you gave me was so simple, Thanks again.

Re: Fn and NumLk Keys

Thanks! I had the same problem just now concerning the Fn key and after reading your article I was able to solve the problem. Simple but fix but very difficult for those of who don't know the simple fix.

Thanks Again,
Felix
