"How do I turn off the FN key on my Dell laptop?" The answer to this question is relatively simple, but easily overlooked. In order to remove the digital lock on the FN key on your laptop, you need to press the FN key and the NumLock key at the same time. Depending on the make and model of the laptop, you may also need to press the Shift key, as well. This problem is relatively common to many
. laptop users. Honestly, I didn't really know what that key was used for, at first; I guess we learn something new every day! You can find more information here: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-1196-the-fn-key-is-locked
