    My Function Keys Aren't Working


    So recently I noticed that a bunch of my drivers were out of date so I went and got a program that scanned and updated my drivers for me, called Driver Booster 6, but shortly after doing so my function keys stopped working. On my laptop there is a function key to turn your touchpad off (in order to use the mouse without the touchpad interfering) and I kept pressing it with nothing happening. I also can't change my brightness at all.

    I tried checking for keyboard driver updates and apparently my drivers are up to date, so I really don't know what's happening, please help.

    :)

    1215N function keys not working?

    Doesn't list it for the 1215N *Frown My Function Keys Aren't Working :(

    Funny part all the keys work out of the box with Linux Mint, go figure.

    Tried the one on softpedia, doesn't seem to work.

    Any other model that I can take it from?

    My Function Keys Aren't Working

    Functions keys work as intended


    Hi dangnad2.

    Found this. Would suggest Lock mode Enabled/Secondary needs to be enable or checked.
