I had this similar problem as i was doing like UberSerge and deleting things i dont need. What i noticed is that you open back e-Driver and install ATKPackage (the first item) alone it appears to have fixed this issue. Regards

Yes, you hold down the Fn key and hit NumLock. The Fn key is next to the Windows key which is by the ALT key and the spacebar. The Fn key is in BLUE and controls all the keys with blue color such as the NumLock. You should be able to enter your password then. This has happened to me too. Hope this helps.

If you press the Fn key at the same time they work just fine.(Except for the stop key apparently, but you can just hit the play/pause)

Rafael, I am a total Asus fan but I had to return the first laptop I ordered because the key board wasn't lit up and the keys didn't work properly (particularly the cap key). After researching this further I found that Asus is having some quality control issues on this and similar current models and and that they had numerous people complaining about any number of items. My life update wasn't working, some of the drivers weren't working so I returned mine to Amazon (within the 30 days period) and got a replacement. No issues whatsoever with the replacement laptop. If you cannot return the laptop to Amazon I urge you to get this thing fixed by Asus under the warranty ASAP. Sorry, wish I had better news.

I have had the same issue and at other times, the screen and mouse are fine but the keyboard doesn't work. I'm not sure of any solutions. I'm at a loss with my own.

we are having a similar problem, sometimes the on/pff button owrks and sometimes it doesnt! also if our daughter is playing a game and decides she no longer wants to then try pressing Home key and it doesnt work. The only way to get out of the game is to take batteries out!!if anyone gets a suggestion or answer please post

I just tried it...it goes to Launchpad. I think all of mine work the same. I rarely use those keys, though. F3 goes to mission control, BTW.

Hi Alan, you have to press the Fn key at the same time with the F9 key.When you use the laptop with the AC power, the backlit keyboard turns on automatically but when you use it with the battery,the backlit is off as the first choice. Regards,Victor

Y. Park,Is it possible you inadvertently pressed O rather than (blue) Fn 0 (p) key? I made this error several times until I figured I was pressing the wrong key. Then I was able to pair my BB to the iGo. Just a wild guess.

That happened to me. I needed mad driver updates, and if you download those and it still doesn't work, (if you hopefully have a warranty) you can send it in and they'll get your software up to speed. I got my drivers here. http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m;=V500CA&p;=3&s;=495You can try finding the specific one you want, or download all of them in that category.

Try the Fn key (bottom left keyboard) & monitor switch key up (top left keyboard) at the same time see what happens? If not you might have a defective screen.

You use the Fn key. There is s function on the top right on one of the F keys you press along with holding down the Fn key.

It mostly works out of the box in Ubuntu 14.04.2. The play/pause and volume keys work but the rest of the media keys seem to be a no-op, and only a few keys on the detached numpad work (calculator shortcut, clear, backspace, enter) and I can't figure out how to make the rest work (numlock, 0-9, ., and the operators)

I purchased this keyboard a while ago and mine seems to be working fine . I don't believe there is a function for enabling that , but I'm not 100% sure . Most likely something is wrong .

I had the same problem with my mini 10 - holding the fn button (a few to the left of the space bar) and tapping f3 (for darker) or f4 (for brighter) is what did it for me! It's not a permanent fix, but it helped me! Good luck!
