    Try Fn+F2 to see if you can turn it on and off.
    Look in the BIOS to see Fn+F2 do when pressed.
    Are you sure you've got the module installed in the laptop?
    As for the media key you'll have to reformat using the Media Direct cd because MD sits on a separate partion if you don't have it will not work.
