    Hello, I have a SONY VAIO VPCF234FX notebook and I'm trying to format it. It is the second time format and can not in any way make the FN function. (Disable touchpad, brightness, zoom and switch monitor.)

    I remember I already had this problem before - is not the first time I format my PC - but I do not remember what I did for the keys function normally.


    What is the solution?

    And another thing, when I install the VAIO CONTROL CENTER, it is not complete. Some features are missing, such as the option to configure the keyboard (backlit), switch between performance mode, silent, sound, and is giving a boring message saying my battery is not inserted correctly

    PS: Installed Win 7 x64

    Just adding some information.

    I already tried both of this tutorials, but none of them worked properly. Links:

    Setting Up Sony VAIO Event Service on Windows 7 x86 / Windows 7 x64 for Brightness (Fn+F5/Fn+F6), Mute/Volume (Fn+F2/Fn+F3/Fn+F4), and Monitor Switching (Fn+F7) Control - Komeil Bahmanpour
