Disable fn key (invert it)

[sdabro]

Hi,

I can't disable the fn key on my keyboard (HP Pavilion Wireless 600). I tried BIOS, fn+esc, fn+caps lock, fn+num lock (doesn't have, but doesn't work anyway). I'm working on my HP laptop and BIOS disabling works just for the laptop keyboard.

The last topic wasn't solved. The customer accepted that it is not possible to disable the fn key.

Have anything changed? I need to return the keyboard and find one that doesn't have fn (action) keys or can disable it.

Kind Regards,

Slavko Dabro

@sdabro -- I looked at: HP Pavilion Wireless Keyboard 600 - HP Store Canada

but I did not see any "FN-LOCK" key on the keyboard.  Such a key would "lock" the F1-F12 keys into the alternate mode.

so no :
unfortunately the only possible solutions currently are software, or hardware replacement
There is a solution, but that is to block the key, and you may break the keyboard
Unfortunately either this is not suitable or user feedback
