    Hey all,

    this may be in wrong place so feel free to move it where ever but i have a friend with the laptop model mentioned above and the functionality of the function key has reversed for where their number pad is i.e. where k=2 and i=5. to type letters the function key now needs pressing down which is the opposite of what should be happening.

    Has anyone got any ideas or knows how to fix this problem?

    cheers
    Rob
