I just had something similar happen to my desktop system.
My keyboard is a Logitech K850 and it has a toggle sequence
to flip from Fn key to their alternative function.  I was
having trouble with application mapped Fn keys and also
the media (volume) alternative functions.

On the K850 keyboard the toggle sequence is .

How those keys work is controlled by the bios.  Likely when servicing
they reset to the default bios settings and/or a new bios was
installed and the default changed.

Go into the bios and you should find an option that controls what
action occurs without the fn key and what requires the fn key.

interface.  Check the logs and see if there are any messages when you 
press the brightness keys.

Actually my laptop just got serviced and the function keys are available 
directly with pressing Fn key first. I used to invert this previously 
which is why it was no longer working.


So my bad (or kind of).

Thank you all for your insights.
