Hello, on my laptop, a Gateway MX6124, it had not worked for 6 months, no power, no battery or powercord issues so I don't know why it would not start but anyway, I tried it yesterday and now it works. I can not get the FN key to work with the num lock or the wireless keys, F2 and Scroll keys. The 'M' key will not work for either the 0 or the M, it is dead. Any and all suggestions welcome.

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.8

Hi,
this may be due to a damaged keyboard.
get it replaced or try to connect an external keyboard.
