    Its pretty annoying, my desktop works with no issue, the notebook should aswell. i heard of a keycombo (fn + f5) but that was for a toshiba notebook.

    can do that, will take one as soon as i can... if im not mistaken (not with my laptop at the moment) the f7 button is for the brightness of the display or the sound, so fn + f7 might not be the answer, tried pressing all the buttons but didnt seem to work, the only button that doesnt do anything is the one with the little square on it
