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.
