Function Key Sticking (Solved! Mods feel free to delete)

    Hi all,

    A friend of mine just rang in a panic. He has a report to have in work tomorrow at 9am and his laptop is kicking up. Everytime he presses the U key for example, the number 4 is coming up on screen.

    Ive figured that his function key is sticking as if you look at a laptop keyboard, Fn U does print the 4 character, Fn O prints 6 etc.

    Could this be a physically stuck function key, or is there a way of sticking the Fn key via the windows software?

    He has hit the Fn key a few times and says the key is not being stuck in the down position.

    He'll calling me back at 9pm Irish time (He's abroad at the mo.. hence the rush). Can anyone give me some ideas so I can try and help him out?


    As usual, Thanks a lot for all your help in advance! I appreciate it.

    It turned out that the num lock indicator light isnt working, and the laptop was stuck in num lock. Not too complicated but a toughy if, like my mate, you arent too up to speed on computers. Thanks anyways!
