K430 Wireless Keyboard partial failure .... or is it me?!

Question

Pressing LVT (what does that stand for!) button on the keyboard brings up Windows Explorer. Using the FN key with the F keys does nothing and the volume buttons (alongside the LVT button)  have worked once since I have had the machine (purchased K430 on 18/4 and its hard drive died on 22/4. Got a replacement on 22/4 and so far so good apart from the keyboard!! ).
Am I missing something with the keyboard or is it simply a poor piece of hardware?

What you need, in this case, is an instance of the
KeyboardEvent class.
The Event class, alone, doesn't have a keyCode property, but
KeyboardEvent
(which extends Event) does.

keyPressed);

That second line is the culprit. Should be this:
function keyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void
