Laptop "Fn" key functionality erased due to baby

Factual Questions
1

My one-year-old smacked my laptop keyboard a few times today, and since then, the “Fn” key’s functionality has been reversed. (Keys act like their “Fn” versions when I am not depressing “Fn,” and act like their non-“Fn” versions when I am depressing “Fn.”)

On some computers this is a BIOS setting, but I am guessing that is not the case here since

*My kid did this to my computer while it was logged in (Windows 7), and
*From the Windows 7 login screen, if I click on “switch user” and then click on any other user, then click “switch user” again and click on my own account, the keyboard works correctly long enough for me to type my password normally. Then after logging in, the problem resumes.

These facts seem to indicate the problem is probably due to something in Windows, not something in the machine’s BIOS.

Well anyway, can anyone help me figure out how to fix it?

Found a solution–Fn+NumLock

Glad that worked for you. Just so you know – if baby ever wrecks a key (or more than one), it’s amazing how cheap and easy it is to buy an external keyboard with a little wireless USB plug.

if you let the kid back at the keyboard long enough it will get fixed.

what’s worse cats or babies?

Just be glad you still have keys; our son got near the laptop keyboard and ripped the 4 and the right-shift key off completely.
