See if the Volume/Mute/Brightness works if you hold the "Fn" key simultaneously. There's an "Fn Lock" setting in the BIOS and/or software-accessible that gets toggled inadvertently. Just this week, I had customers complaining their Wifi keeps getting turned off, and their F8 is no longer working like it used to, and that was the cause.
This was it. I had apparently "function locked" the keyboard by accidentally pressing Fn+Esc. (Great decision to put that right beside the mute button - Fn+F1!) Without any visual indication, and with the Fn+arrow combinations still working for Home, End, PgUp, PgDown, etc., it's almost impossible to figure out what's going on.
