HP TPC-001K: Cannot disable FN Lock

[hutiwephy]

I bought one of your keyboards+mouse bundles from the Pavilion line up and got scammed!!!

Because without a specific HP Bios the FN Lock is always on, which makes it impossible to use, remapping with autohotkey is impossible due to F Keys that can only be captured at system level.

So I need a driver or some sort of a tool to disable the FN Lock as in my line of work I'm 100% dependent on the FN keys

It does NOT have that function ALL external keyboards except for the ones dedicated to a line of machines may be able to use this function in BIOS or software.

So What you are saying is that I was scammed, and that HP refuses to offer a solution to those who plug it onto computers that are not from the HP brand, essentially making it e-waste? Right?

I've looked inside the keyboard it is something as simple has inverting two pins on the ribbon cables, why HP, why would you go to that extent?

Why wont you issue a driver for all keyboards of that series that simply just sends a fake fn-unlock signal to the affected keyboards?

At this point you can either do that or just send the board schematics and I will figure it out on my own

Did you try to apply a job at HP or a keyboard manufacturer ? Will software support your idea ?
