How to invert the fn keys in ideapad z510

Hello

I recently bought a lenovo ideapad z510 and I have to press fn in order to use the f1 - f12 keys. Is there a way to change this trend so that I don't need to press fn to use the f1 to f12 keys?

Hi moving.

Welcome to the Community Forums of Lenovo!

Can you try to go to BIOS by pressing F2 when you power on the system

Once inside the BIOS look for an option that says mode HOTKEY or hotkey, should be under the configuration tab.

change this option and must reverse the use of the FN on your system.

(Remember to press F10 once your done to save the changes you made.

If the hot key mode is not available in BIOS, you may have to wait or consult on the download site of the Lenovo Support for BIOS updates

Hope this helps

See you soon!

  • Qosmio X 870 - 13p - how to restore the original key elements?

    Use the volume buttons + /-on the keyboard, I just had to push for example to increase the volume of your PC or put a song on a break. Now it does not work, I have to press the "Fn key" to use these keys.

  • Satellite Pro P - how to disable the hot keys for camera assistant?

    Is it possible, and how, to disable the shortcut keys for the camera wizard?

    The default keys interfere with shortcuts of Microsoft Office (Word) - for example Alt + F9 to show/hide codes field to turns on the properties of camera assistant, Alt + 10 screen settings of camera etc.

    I find this very frustrating.

    Hello

    Of course you can turn it off.
    You must remove the software from the camera in msconfig start up.

    So go to start-run-msconfig online online
    Go to the Startup tab and disable the camera software. Restart the computer laptop and that s all!

    Good bye

    Hello

    In my opinion one of the important gift of drivers or utilities work and, therefore, you cannot use the FN keys.

    If your have installed XP on your test of the G20 to refresh the Toshiba common Modules.
    It is an essential tool that controls the FN keys.

    The common Modules can be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.

  • G530 - how to fix the Novo key features?

    Hello guys!

    Some time ago I completely changed partitions configuration on my laptop, because I wanted to have two systems - Windows 7 (the default) and Ubuntu. Previously, I had an image of the LENOVO_PART (partition Lenovo recovery) by Paragon and burned on DVDs. Its contain images (a recovery key 7) OKR - mbr, boot partition and system (with default settings) file that contains information about the partition sizes and sectors. I deleted all the partitions and create new partitions.

    Now I want to restore the original scores, so I restored the partition recovery DVDs, and I put his ID 12 (PTEDIT32) and rebuilt the other partitions on the accuracy of a sector.

    Now, I have the following partitions: 1 - start (default is unnamed), 2 - system (default is unnamed), 3 - Lenovo, 4 - LENOVO_PART. Unfortunately the Lenovo System Restore does not start once I pressed the Novo key, so I put the active recovery partition and I can't restore the original mbr, boot, and system. Everything would be fine, but the Novo key doesn't work, then press start the normal system of Windows 7, not the recovery system.

    Could someone tell me how could fix the Novo key without the Lenovo service features?

    BTW, sorry for my bad English

    It should work properly. It seems that there is something wrong with the a key.

    at this point, I suggest you call lenovo support line and ship your laptop.

    How to get the product key I purchased previously?

    Depends entirely on how you bought it in the 1st place.

    A boxed product should have the key on the DVD case, which is the only trace.

    An update Anytime, you should have the key in an e-mail message from Microsoft. If you log in the website to store, you should be able to find the email conversation.

    If another provider such as a key, then you will need to go back to them.

    If your Windows starts now while you can use a keyfinder utility to read the registry key.
