Where is the button of print screen in hp compaq nx7400?
To print screen on a HP laptop (mine is a Compaq NX7400) locate a key with fn on it. On the NX7400 this is on the bottom row , second key from the left after ctrl. Hold down the fn key whilst also hitting the key on the top right of the keyboard which is named both insert and prt sc. I think you need to use the blue fn key to make any of the function keys perform the function in the blue box. Hope this is helpful! Neil F Liversidge, England.

Why is the function key on your laptop stuck?
One reason the Fn key may appear stuck is if you recently plugged a full-size keyboard into your laptop and pressed the NumLock key. This key activates the Fn key on the laptop. To return the Fn key to its original state, plug in the keyboard and disengage the NumLock key. Remove the keyboard and test out any of the Fn assigned keys. They should return to normal working status. If it doesn't however, you may require further troubleshooting. You can find out if its the numlock by holding the fn key to type normally. if it types normally then and oposite when released then that's the problem. you can turn it off by holding the fn key and presing either the blue "num <arrow down>" or the blue numlock key. (both are numlock just look different on some laptops.
