Fn key on x230 thinkpad not working : alternate keys needed

my x230 Thinkpad's  Fn (ie Function) key appears not working:
I've tried pressing Fn- F8/F9 & other keys but not getting response
so reckon it's the Fn key.

What other key combination can I press to get equivalent of Fn ?
Mostly to increase/decrease Brightness but I can't locate any bar
to adjust brightness in my Control Panel's  "Adjust Brightness"
in Windows 7

As this is a very old laptop, I don't plan to get it repaired.

Fn + Esc usually toggles Fn on/off on Lenovo laptops (unless of course your Fn key is physically damaged!)
Easy to do accidentally when going for Fn+F1

Fn+Esc doesn't toggle  Fn  on/off on my x230  while
Win+X  key does bring up the various adjustment menus.

After rebooting, the Fn key works again, odd.
Thanks very much guys.
