See if the Volume/Mute/Brightness works if you hold the

had customers complaining their Wifi keeps getting turned off, and their
F8 is no longer working like it used to, and that was the cause.
This was it.
I had apparently "function locked" the keyboard by accidentally pressing
Fn+Esc. (Great decision to put that right beside the mute button -
Fn+F1!)
Without any visual indication, and with the Fn+arrow combinations still
working for Home, End, PgUp, PgDown, etc., it's almost impossible to
figure out what's going on.
Thanks!
