    Ok, something got messed up and I can't seem to figuire what happend. I uninstalled shared library to installe first BIOS update then I installed second BIOS update and after that I reinstalled shared library again now none of the FN keys (volume, brightness, S1,S2, etc are not responding) Can someone suggest me what can I do without having to reinstall everything again?

    you would need to reinstall these in the following order
    Control Device Driver
    Programmable IO Control Driver
    Shared Library
    Notebook Utility
