Hi all,

Have a problem with the blue fn button on my laptop were it is permanently active. Basically, as i type now, I have to hold the fn key down otherwise any key that has blue writing on it will appear on the screen.

I hope this isn't a really basic solution as I have tried a few things but to no avail. Right now I'd just like to get it sorted. Any suggestions will be gratefully taken.

Thanks
