Solve : Keyboard commands?

1.	Solve : Keyboard commands?
Answer» Hello: I just bought a Lenovo H535 computer which has a keyboard similar to my old one BUT with a lot of other commands on it and the user literature does not illustrate or explain any of the keyboard's commands! I have made attempts to get some info about this keyboard: LXH-EKB-10YA but can find nothing anywhere at the Levono site or forum. Fortunately, the keyboard is very similar to my win xp by Dell so I can still work with it but would like to know what all those peculiar and different button commands are short of experimenting with them in a document or on line, etc. So please help me understand what all this Levono keyboard does if you know. THANKS, jim Do you mean the blue symbols? look for a key like: Fn When you hit that key, some other keys change. It should be in the documentation. Hi: thanks for reply. On my keyboard, the special images (including Fn) are red. re: It should be in the documentation. &GT;> That's the weird thing! I can find no documentation for this keyboard anywhere on line or elsewhere! I've even asked about this at the Levono forum - nobody responds! thanks for your reply, jim Please check the model number again. You said H535 But I can not find any laptop with that number.

Nobody so far in this thread has suggested that the Lenovo H535 is a laptop.

It's a desktop.

jim For anyone still interested in this matter, I spoke with a Levono company rep today who could not find any documentation for my keyboard anywhere and had to tell me that the company DOES NOT supply such documentation or pictures of my keyboard! They have plenty of stuff on their laptops but ZERO for my desktop keyboard! Replace it.Of course the F-keys still have their normal functions, presumably.

The Fn Functions appear to be:

F1: Internet Media Key
F2: BACK. However the behaviour you mentioned paired with it's different colouring, I don't know.
F3: Sleep
F4: Eject
F5: Play/Pause
F6: Stop
F7: SKIP Backwards
F8: Skip Forwards

Your second pic shows some additional media keys, such as Volume down, volume up, and Mute. the "LVT" key is a special key that is probably only recognized by Lenovo machines and possibly only laptops.
