f1-f12 not working even after common fix method

I was using my macbook air 2014 like normal today and I log in just now to find that my f1-f12 is not working and the Check the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard tab -> [_] Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard functions keys doesn't fix it whether its checked or not. I reset my mac and update the system, but nothing. Is there another way to reset these buttons?
