MY F5 key and F6 key dont work can I fix it or do I have to go to a mechanic?
Badookey
There are also known bugs with Firefox that have recently stopped these keys working; it is apparent that some plug-ins will not release focus or pass the keypress through to the browser. A work-around is to click anywhere on the tool bar before pressing F5/F6.
If that is not the case:
Substituting a keyboard can be misleading, it uses a different set of drivers. Although it could offer the cheap solution.
Often the keys are still physically working and just need remapping. A key-press diagnostic will prove it.
Answer
Fixing this will probably entail replacing the keyboard.
If this is a desktop computer, the solution is easy. Just go out and buy a new keyboard. They aren't expensive at all. The two kinds in most common usage today are USB (square plug about the size of your thumbnail) and PS2 (round plug about the size of your pinky-finger.) Most new keyboards come with an adapter so they can be used for either connection.
If this is a laptop computer, replacing the keyboard is a bit more complicated. Laptop keyboards are very specific to the make and model of the computer, and it may be very difficult to obtain a replacement. Installing the new keyboard may also be a very delicate and difficult process, (although I should note that on some models its actually pretty easy.)
Replacing a laptop keyboard is something which is probably best done by a professional.
If it were me, since it is only the F5 and F6 keys, which aren't all that vital, I would probably just live with it. Also dont forget that you can plug in any USB keyboard and use that instead.
