Randomly lost the functionality of all my FN keys.

My FN keys just stopped working yesterday and nothing I do seems to get them going. What should I re-install/un-install to fix this annoying problem. Also the blue touch keys are spotty at times as well. I'm using a fresh install of win7 a03

 

try reinstalling your osd again.

 

If re-installing OSD doesn't help try re-flashing the BIOS. I got my brightness controls back couple of time already.

 

Good idea! It was weird. It worked for a full day after fresh install. Then I installed wow a l4d2 then somewhere after that the fn controls just stopped responding. I will check it out on my day off tomorrow.

 

I've had the touchstrip go dead as well (twice so far). The solution is to unplug the laptop from AC (remove the AC adapter), remove the battery and then with both removed, depress the Power button on the laptop for a 20 count. Insert the battery and then plug back in the AC adapter. Power up and all should be fine with the touchstrip controls.

Not sure on the actual keyboard FN keys - hasn't happened to me.

 

do a power drain turn off your laptop then take the battery off and press and hold the power butom for 30 seconds that should solve your problem

 

Thanks again guys. Never knew how much I missed them till they didn't work

 

For anyone that is wondering what worked the full power down cured the issue.
