Subject: Something is wrong with my keyboard

i got a new laptop for Christmas and for some reason, i can't hit any of the top buttons (as in, volume up/down, you know the ones where usually if you hit FN, it'll activate the functions) for some reason its working in reverse. i'm sure i'm just doing something wrong, but i can't find anything by googling, so help please?

Thanks for reading my signature!

Go to device manager and uninstall the keyboard, then restart.

Nothing is wrong with your keyboard. Some keyboards give the F1-F12 functions priority and others give the volume/brightness/etc. priority. As long as you have full functionality, you have nothing to worry about.

Oh, its just dirty, no biggie. Just wash your computer in the sink. Use warm water, and a gentle soap. Make sure to use a toothbrush, and make small circular motions.

You may be able to do it by remapping the keys with a third party program, but I'd just leave it alone. I'm sure you'll find that being able to quickly adjust the volume is more beneficial than some of the F key shortcuts.

I heard the same, but I found that circular works best on my MacBook Pro.

no, its the other way around. i WANT to be able to adjust the volume. it annoying to because i can only adjust the volume by 1 (after holding fn and the volume up/down button) and then repeating the process

You may want to mention what OS you have. I could tell you how to change it in OSX but not in Windows.
