Help needed regarding m9700 key

[dragonfury]

My Fn key is not working...my laptop is m9700 alienware.
Is there any other key to resolve this problem . i mean any other combination of key or any software which can replace this function.

There is no 'substitute' if that's what you're asking.

How come it's not working? What happened before the problem?

Notes:

* FN key may not work if the OS has been reinstalled, or the driver has become corrupt. To solve this, simply download and install the appropriate drivers from your laptop manufacturer's website.
* Physical keyboard key broken - Replacement laptop keyboards may be for sale from the manufacturer. If the laptop is still under warranty, they will replace the keyboard for free.

Thanks a lot but its dissapointing.
Actually there is no one in pakistan who can replace the keyboard because there is no Alienware representative here.
Now actually the prob is that the F8 key is not working .... although i press Fn&other keys and they are working,
So How do i solve it cuz there is no external keyboard which will help with this thing.

You can try some keyboard mapping software, or an On-Screen-Keyboard.

Go to Start --> Run --> Type OSK and press Enter.

If it is indeed the keyboard, you might be able to ask Dell for assistance, since they acquired Alienware in 2006. Not sure if Dell has an operations in Pakistan or not.
