I believe this maybe related to a key problem on your Asus U56E. Unfortunately, the only way you can fix this issue is by replacing the Fn key. You can buy and read the procedures from the links provided below.

What you can try to do to test if your FN button doesn't work is to hold the FN button and press V at the same time. If your webcam software comes up then there is nothing wrong with your FN button. If you are trying to use a certain FN key but it's now responding, then you can go to our support site and go under utilities and select the ATKACPI. Make sure you select which O/S you have installed.
