If you have a #Dell laptop whose function keys act normally but whose Home and End keys do not, apparently the fix is the following.

* Restart your machine and at the Dell logo, repeatedly tap the F2 to get into BIOS.

* Look for POST Behaviour.

* FN Lock: Ensure this setting is Enabled.

* Make sure Lock Mode Secondary is selected.

Now I just have to find a sighted person to do this for me, because in 2025, BIOS is still inaccessible.

I remember when you could just press FN scroll lock, I think it was, on old IBM Thinkpads before they were Lenovo.

I also remember Toshiba's really cool Windows utility for changing pretty much everything in the bios accessibly, at least as long as you could boot windows.

I also also remember the days of being able to dump the text of bios screens to the parallel port and reading it with stuff.

Yep, we've made *so much progress in the last few decades.
