i have a sony gsr 700 laptop and for some reason the function key does not work when i try to use FN F5 to change the brightness or FN F4 for the sound ect.

Any ideas

Thanks in advance

While I've never owned, or used as Sony laptop, I have had a similar experience with an IBM Thinkpad.

Certain function keys would not work properly, or at all; brightness was one of them. Another was the function key for getting out of sleep mode.

After upgrading the BIOS, this was resolved.

Hope this is the case for you.
