Afaik, this could be done with evilC's AutoHotInterception which uses a third-party low level keyboard driver:
https://github.com/evilC/AutoHotInterception#warning wrote:TAKE CARE when using this code. Because Interception is a driver, and sits below windows proper, blocking with Interception goes so deep that it can even block CTRL+ALT+DEL etc. As such, it is entirely possible to lock up all input, or at least make life a little difficult.
In general, worst-case scenario would require use of the reset button.
I would seriously think about de-activating this key combo (as you might have to reboot to reverse it). You alone are responsible for any data loss or other problems resulting from it.

Not trying to be crass, and I don't know where you are or your personal situation, but keyboards are available online for less than $20. One has to ask if all the time you are spending to "fix" the problem is worth saving $20. :)

This keyboard problem was the reason I found about AHK lately so I consider it a blessing in disguise. I am not going to buy another kb, anyway it is a laptop one it is new and clean. I am going to settle all issues using AHK.
Now if one has also done this in Ubuntu i would like to know.

could this third party kb driver offer help when Fn+ {key} combinations don't work when the {key} is dead and you cannot assign it to another key with AHK?
