Print Screen Image on Dell Vostro 1510

LFC5Times

Hi,

As the title says I have a Dell Vostro 1510.

However if I try to print a screen image, I press Ctrol Alt and F11(it says Print Screen on the button).

However what happens is the screen goes black and flashes a few times before returning to normal and then it hasn't taken an image of the scree.

Can somebody enlighten me on how to do it properly?

Thanks in advance

Hold the fn key while doing that. F11 will just be F11 unless you press fn.

On the 1510 keyboard, Print Screen is in blue so you'll need to hold down Fn to use it. Because SysRq is also on this key and is the lower of the two items, it looks like you'll also need to hold down Shift to get the (upper) Print Screen function.

tl;dr Hold down Fn and Shift and press F11

Thanks lads, both ways seem to work!
