Lenovo 3000 keyboard FN keys not working.. Need Right hotkey driver

Hi Dimitar,
We often hear users telling us that they not able to use Fn keys such as the fn for wireless, sleep, etc.
In fact, you need to install power management software and drivers whereby it has hotkey driver included in it. Hotkey driver is the key to make sure the Fn keys work.

P.S. This apply to only Lenovo Essential and Idea machines. Exclude Think machines.

Go back to the Lenovo web-site for your specific model, and select the device-drivers for the "hot-keys". Download & install it.

From the manual:

Hotkeys are combinations of the fn key (lower left of keyboard) and one of the function keys:
Mute and restore speaker sound. fn+home
Increase speaker sound. fn+pg up
Decrease speaker sound. fn+pg dn
To use a hotkey command on the computer keyboard, follow either of these steps:
Briefly press the fn key, and then briefly press the second key of the hotkey command.
- or -
Press and hold down the fn key, briefly press the second key of the hotkey command, and then
release both keys at the same time.
Muting speaker sound (fn+home)
Press fn+home to mute speaker sound. Press the hotkey again to restore speaker sound.
Increasing speaker sound (fn+pg up)
Press fn+pg up to increase speaker sound. Hold down the hotkey to increase speaker sound incrementally.
Decreasing speaker sound (fn+pg dn)
Press fn+pg dn to decrease speaker sound. Hold down the hotkey to decrease speaker sound incrementally.

If you're using Yahoo Messenger or Skype to access your webcam and it says No Camera Detected, the camera might be turned-off. Try the following:

1. Presss Fn+ESC (The Fn key is located at the left side of the space bar). that's the hotkey to turn your Webcam ON and OFF and try to check if your Webcam works.

2. Open Device Manager - press the Windows Key+R and type devmgmt.msc on the keyboard (the windows key looks like this ) and look for Imaging Devices



3. If you see your webcam there, try to right click on it and Uninstall and restart your computer and check if your webcam works now.

If that still doesn't work and the webcam light is not turning ON, that's already a sign that your webcam is failing and needs to be replaced. If you're still under warranty, you can Call Lenovo Support at 1-877-453-6686 to have it serviced.


Good luck.

You can try downloading and installing again keyboard drivers from Lenovo support website.
This could solve your problem

most pc's differ,some have just one button that switches wi-fi on/off.mine uses a hotkey sequence Fn-F2.consult manufacturers site/manual for correct key/sequence--good luck!

The touch sensors and "volume" button is on the top right corner of the keyboard panel .... above the keyboard keys. press "1" - left most - to mute and unmute press "2" - next - going right - to turn volume down press "3" - next - going right - to turn volume up
or ..
you can press (at the same time) the Fn key and Esc (to mute), Fn key and F1 to decrease the volume, or Fn key and F2 to increase the volume.

install drivers that you had for your windows vista for your wireless network adapter.

Hope it works..

First thing I would check would be the "NUM LOCK" key. It may be activated via the function (FN) key on the lower left of the keyboard. In other words, hold down the FN key and hit (NMLK) which should be somewhere along the top edge on the right side.
