My HP Pavilion has 2 or 3 very dangerous keys just below the screen and you do not even have to actually touch the blamed things to cause them to work. Mute and wireless are two of them. Of course, HP did think of convenience because there is a little blue light which tells you that the wireless is on.

Caused me no end of frustration until I decided to mark the button. Also there is a Fn Key + combination on my laptop that will do the same.

Found I was occasionally hitting the 'mute' button instead of the power button, or by just occasionally by getting disoriented on the keyboard. Have a sighted person show you where the 'mute' button is, and perhaps this can help you, as it did me.

I then need to have a sighted person to go to my desktop task bar and turn my sound system back on. What commands do I need to perform this task by myself?
