    Both the FN keys on my Z70A are not working and the short-cut buttons below the screen aren't functioning either. I think it may be a driver problem or something is not starting at the startup. Any suggestions?

    my Fn key works to a certain extend, where my function keys work with the fn key. but my num pad thingy doesnt.

    I had asked this board b4 and I wasnt able to solve my problem :(

    maybe I can get some answers here, hopefully I can dl a driver just like I did for my mousepad to fix my scroll thing for firefox!!!

    this is what happened with mine too. for me if i tried using the shortcut buttons or the function key before everything loaded up when i logged in it would work that one time and then stop. so basically now i wait for everything to load before i adjust anything and it works fine :/. its weird.

    sounds like the driver is a bit buggy...I think its hcontrol.exe, sould see it running in your process's. Maybe try re-installing the driver, cant remember the one sorry it early in the morning and I have a hangover from too much french vino.
