    Question for you computer techs.

    The FN & F8 keys on my Dell laptop have quit switching my screen over to my TV. My laptops are running Win XP Service Mod III. I have tried a couple of fixes I found on google which do not fix shit.

    Anyone know of a quick fix for this problem.

          Do the keys work in other applications? Have you tried a different FN key?

              - reboot ( not restart )
              - get lastest Bios ( A13 fixes that : Addressed Video display switch issue )

              then, if still an issue, search for fixes ( drivers of video card, etc... )
              I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

              But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                  Does the FN key work OK for other functions? Will the laptop work with an external keyboard (USB) plugged in?

                      Did you accidentally hit the F lock button?

                              Can you do rollbacks on XP? - I can't remember...

                              If you can then try rolling back to the last time it worked - Might work.....
