Function keys not working on hp probook 4440

Identifying the hot keys
A hot key is a combination of the fn key and either the esc key or one of the function keys.
To use a hot key:
Briefly press the fn key, and then briefly press the second key of the hot key combination.
Hot key combination Description
fn+esc Displays information about system hardware components and the system BIOS version number.
fn+f1 Initiates Sleep, which saves your information in system memory. The display and other system
components turn off and power is conserved.
To exit Sleep, briefly press the power button.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of information loss, save your work before initiating Sleep.
fn+f2 Decreases the screen brightness level.
fn+f3 Increases the screen brightness level.
fn+f4 Switches the screen image among display devices connected to the system. For example, if a
monitor is connected to the computer, fn+f4 alternates the screen image from computer display to
monitor display to simultaneous display on both the computer and the monitor.
Most external monitors receive video information from the computer using the external VGA video
standard. The fn+f4 hot key can also alternate images among other devices that are receiving video
information from the computer.
fn+f5 Initiates the QuickLock security feature. QuickLock protects your information by displaying the
operating system Log On window. While the Log On window is displayed, the computer cannot be
accessed until a Windows user password or a Windows administrator password is entered.
NOTE: Before you can use QuickLock, you must set a Windows user password or a Windows
administrator password. For instructions, see Help and Support. To access Help and support, from
the Start screen, type help, and then select Help and Support.
fn+f6 Displays charge information for all installed batteries. The display indicates which batteries are
charging and reports the amount of charge remaining in each battery.
fn+f7 Mutes or restores speaker sound.
fn+f8 Decreases speaker volume.
fn+f9 Increases speaker volume.
fn+f10 Plays the previous track of an audio CD or the previous section of a DVD or a BD.
32 Chapter 4 Pointing devices and keyboardHot key combination Description
fn+f11 Plays, pauses, or resumes an audio CD, a DVD, or a BD.
fn+f12 Plays the next track of an audio CD or the next section of a DVD or a BD.

Key of fn is not working, combinations of fn key like fn+f1 = sleep it's not working. can you kindly please give me a good solutions?

You may need the Lenovo one key recovery download, the one for windows 7 may work with windows 8 ? There is not a one key downloadable driver for windows 8 on your system the one offered for windows 7 is available in 32 or 64 bit. The power profile for your device sleep wake ect can be adjusted through windows power management it may also need to be adjusted through the nvidia soft ware if it has nvidia graphics. All your troubles would be present if you re installed an OS or upgraded if so there may be several missing drivers ect.

Fn button for volume in Lenovo g560 don't appear mark of increase or decrease ,, as i install new version of win 7 ,, and same case in brightness

Make sure you Press and Hold the FN key then hit the key that increases or decreases the volume. If the FN key is not held down while you press the volume keys, they will do nothing. The brightness works the same way, you must Press and Hold the FN key then hit the key that controls the brightness.

The acer launch manager may help, you can download it here:

The launch manager controls the multimedia buttons, volume control, Fn keys etc. so that should resolve your problems.

Hello there. Follow my steps:
  1. Go to support.asus.com
  2. Select "Download" (if you don't see a "Download" button due to being in another language, select the last item from the main menu and select "English)
  3. Find your laptop model using the wizard
  4. Select your operating system (to determine whether if it's a 32bit/64bit, go to your start menu > right click on "Computer" for Windows Vista/7 or "My computer" for Windows XP and look for a text which says "XX bit operating system)
  5. Go to the "ATK" tree
  6. Download the "ATK Hotkey Utility" thingy and install it.

No volume -whick keys do I use to regulate the volume

Hi mjhauk,

You can use the Fn+F3 Keys to decrease and Fn+F4 Keys to increase the Volume. If the Audio is not working after increasing the Volume using the Function Keys, please try re-installing the Audio Driver in the Computer to fix this issue.

Below is the link to download the Audio Driver.

ftp://download.sony.com/US/pc/REDAUD-01199801-US.EXE

Please download the file, double click on it to begin the installation and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation. After installing the Audio Driver, please restart the Computer for the settings to take the effect.

This should fix the issue.

Good Luck!

Please post back if you require further assistance.

Thanks for using FixYa.

FN keys don't work on Sony VAIO VGN-SZ18GP

The solution is as follows, which worked for me:

- Install Windows 7
- let it update all the drivers that it needs to
- Install additional Sony drivers that you need (XP drivers work just fine, but make sure to install them in Administrator mode, so, Run as Administrator), such as camera, fingerprint scanner, etc
- Install the Notebook Control Device Driver (without this the other software does nothing)
- Sony Utilities DLL
- Sony Shared Library

* restart computer *

- Sony Video Shared Library
- SUS (Setting Utility Series)

* restart computer *

- VES (VAIO Event Service)

After this one the Fn keys will start to work. The S1 and S2 keys don't work due to something to do with UAC (but I don't need them anyway)

- VAIO Control Centre (will allow you to change what the S1 and S2 keys do, even though you can't use them :) )

That's it and it worked for me.
