Dell notebook Fn key stuck on.
:mad: I have a new Dell notebook with Windows Vista. I somehow managed to turn on the "Fn" key, and I can't turn it off. (Fn is the key that lets you re-purpose some of the other keys). There's no Fn-lock key to turn it off/on, I have no idea how I did it.
It makes numbers when I type letters, dashes when I type zeros, and so on. Very frustrating! I can't type crap on my computer now. (I mean that literally too, when I type "crap", it comes out as cra*.)
I tried restarting, when that didn't work, I shut it down and let it sit for awhile, but when I turned it back on... same problem.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Try pressing shift + numlock, to toggle the Fn feature.

Very simple solution. Press the num lock key. If the num lock is enabled, its like the fn key is stuck. I had this problem with my new dell laptop, and looked kind of foolish when I called to ask for help. Hope this helps you.
