On my HP laptop, if I just press fn key + shift, the fn key will toggle between the turnoff and turn on. No need to go to the BIOS menu.

Change the Fn key lock on the Lg Gram laptop:
1. Go to the 'Lg control center" (which can be accessed by pressing 'F1' on your keyboard)
2. Then go to 'System Settings'
3. Scroll down to 'Hotkey mode setting'
4. The setting will be on 'Not use' -> change to 'Use' to turn off the Fn key lock.

hope this helps. It took me a while to figure this out lol :)
