Media keys not working properlyAcer Aspire 7 A715-75G-55JW

I have Acer Aspire 7 A715-75G-55JW. Laptop has media keys wich can work while fn is pressed or wihout fn pressed (depends on property set in BIOS). Before I had replacement of motherboard it was working fine. Volume buttons were volume buttons(F9 mute, F10 volume decrease, F11 volume increase), brightnes buttons were brightnes buttons (F3 dimmer, F4 brighter) and so on... in other words, they were binded the way they should be. After MBO replacement, it seems like binding is all messed up. F8, wich is meant to change keyboard lightning mode, now it mutes sound volume. F9 wich should mute sound, now decrease intensity of keyboard light. F3 is meant to decrease display brightnes, now sets airplane mode on. In other words, keys are NOT binded the way they should be. Tried to change function keys to media keys property in BIOS, it didnt help. It just makes fn key as it is pressed all the time for using media keys, and if i want to use primary function of F key, than I need to press fn key. But binding of media keys is again wrong.

Some keys stayed binded thr right way: F5 (selection of displays), F6 (turn off display) and F7 (disable touchpad).

Is there a way to fix this? Or some way to rebind the media key functions? It is not a big thing I am just used to old configuration of mediakeys so I am trying to set it back the way it was. OS is windows 10. Other than media keys, it seems rest of laptop is working fine after MBO replacement.

Here is layout of F keys and their proper media key functions

NO, you can't reprogram F keys, there is no native way to do this. For most keyboards, the function keys are tied to specific actions at a low level that cannot generally be reconfigured in the operating system without altering the so-called scancodes for the kb. However, you can try using a 3rd party utility like AutoHotKeys on your computer, which is straightforward.
