Would someone tell me what the function keys on the keyboard are?  just cant figure them out. 

Thanks,

The Function (Fn) keys are used for various things such as changing displays, turning the keyboard backlight off/on, enabling numlock etc.

What model do you have so that I can be more specific?

Thanks for answering so quick I have a HP Pavilion dv7 notebook , I would guess fn plus f3 is for the internet but I just can't figure the other keys out

You can use this manual to identify each function key combination.

Thanks so much that was  just what I was looking for

What combination of keys do use to turn on the keyboard backlight? I know it's the Function Key + ?.

I just had to restore my laptop to factory and now I can't remember.

Thanks, Blaine

OK Kept pressing keys and found it was the Function key and the Space Bar, Ta Da. Thanks anyway.

My dv7 function keys always act as if the fn key is simultaneously pressed, even when it is not being pressed. I need to use normal function keys WITHOUT the fn key pressed in my work. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
