Fn key not working in Acer Aspire 4315 Notebook

My laptop was working fine in Win7 Ultimate and Fn key was working. Last week, I formatted my PC due to some error in boot sector, and reinstalled Win7 Ultimate. But after installation, I found that Fn key was not working for changing Brightness, and other Functions. This key is a Blue Color key in my Laptop. Please help me. Regards

    the link does not work Some of the Fn/F combination hot keys - including Fn/F5 apparently - don't work unless Acer Launch Manager is running. Start, Run, type MSCONFIG, OK, Startup Tab, check QtZgAcer if it's unchecked, OK, Restart PS - You must continue to hold down the Fn key after clicking and lettting go of the F5 key - a little screen will open after a few seconds and you can move across the choices by clicking F5 1, 2 or 3 more times (while continuing to hold down Fn). I.e., it's not like Cntl, Alt, Delete, where you can let go of each key after clicking it.

SOURCE: locked keyboard and mousepad on acer aspire 6920G

Almost same problem: the mouse froze.

Found a nice solution at another website: switch off the pc, unplug the power supply cable AND remove battery. Press "on" switch for 20 seconds. Now re-install battery, plug back power supply cable, and switch on. Worked for me (what exactly worked for me I don't know but hey)

Good luck.

Does acer aspire 4315 wire less net supports in win7 ? ?

As of the moment there is no driver support for the Acer Aspire 4315. If you have already installed Windows 7 and you can connect to a cable internet through your Ethernet Port, you can try downloading and install Driver Genius Professional which can assist you in getting the compatible driver. Since this software can detect even unknown devices.

My acer aspire one notebook its power its on but its not operating.

Hi there, remove the battery & run directly via power code. If nothing changed then, please restart your laptop when its booting press F8 key . You will find few option asking for selection. Select that by using up/down arrow key. Select " Last know good configuration" & press Enter. Next page asking for selecting operating system, for example: windows vista or Windows XP etc. Just select the operating system & press Enter again. ( Hope your laptop showing only one operating system ). Your laptop will start normally. After the if you seen the screen dark then press FN+Right arrow in key board(>). When you press FN + ( < ) or ( >) key that's time its working for brightness controlling for screen. Now if all well then fine other wise please let me know .
Another suggestion is run your Acer driver DVD for installing Display drivers. When finish restart your laptop and watch whats going. If no success then format the Operating system & reinstall again.

Thanks & waiting for your feedback
