    Hey guys I got a new laptop the other day, its an eMachines e732. It has media keys on the F keys. Is there anyway of keeping the FN key always on so I dont need to press FN+ then say F12 to play/pause. Would be handy.

    Thanks.

    Did you look in the bios settings ?

    Last try
    FN + numb lock
    or
    FN + scroll lock

    I dont know if these are 2 different solutions but they are worded differently on some of the posts I found.
    Be careful though, if your keyboard does not have a numberpad and uses some of the letter keys as numbers (+ the fn button) then when you turn this on you are going to get weird results when typing some letters.
    Good luck
