Hi,

I can't find the specs of your machine, what is it ? Have you try F12 ?

Regards.

Hi Rahul1771

You can do this by pressing and holding F12 button on the top most panel of keyboard.

Please read on Page 40 Chapter 5 Navigating the screen in this user guide of your product: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04209927.pdf

I assume this is your product specifications: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04285747

Of you are not able to enable action key from BIOS. It is enabled at the factory.
If it's not enabled, you can do it entering BIOS -- Go through Page 58 Setup BIOS Utility in the user guide foot procedure.

Hope this resolves the issue,

thanks,

Did you try BIOS setup -- action key enabled?

Please read the manual pages I suggested, it'll be helpful.

Hi Visruth,

I checked in my BIOS setup , Action key is enabled. I also tried by disabling it. But it's not working. All other Fn key are working except F12. Please help me with what next can be done. I am assuming that there isn't any fault in the key because my laptop is just 3 days old.
