Can't Enable Wifi Because 'fn' Key Is Broken.
I can't enable wifi of my MSI cx420 laptop. It needs combination of 'fn' + 'f11' to enable wifi but 'fn' key is broken. Is there any other way to enable the wifi than replacing the keyboard? I tried using external keyboard but did not work.

Ok this is easy you have to
Press the "Delete" key while the system is booting up to enter the BIOS.
There is normally a message similar to "Press Del to enter SETUP," but it can flash by quickly.
On rare occasions, "F2" may be the BIOS key.
than change the fn key behavior to multimedia key not function key.
than restart and press f11 your wifi turn on.
Thanks
