  • Qosmio X 770-function keys have stopped working

    The function keys on my 770 X stopped working.
    The function keys and flash cards are OK. Around the same time, the problem started as a BIOS upgrade is out, but I can't be sure that it is exactly when the buttons stopped working 100%.

    Other users have reported the same problem but I couldn't find a fix for this problem in previous posts.

    Does anyone have an answer?
    It's as simple as the buttons being disabled by a setting of software that has been changed inadvertently and is it possible to find the real state of the software settings for the buttons?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You mean the media buttons next to the switch?
    Well, these buttons are controlled by VAP (value added package).

    Uninstall the old package, restart the laptop, download the last PPV available from the page of the Toshiba driver and install it

    Should work!

  • Re: Multimedia keys have stopped working on the Satellite a series

    Hello!

    I had a problem. Multimedia keys have stopped working on my laptop that belongs to the series A Satelite.
    Could u pls help me make these buttons still work?
    I tried the Toshiba assist - optimize.

    There are four fields to be filled - Description - parameter-Path - name of the button.

    What should I put in the description and parameter fields? I'm ok with the path.

    Thank you to notify

    You didn t write anything on your notebook series
    What cell phone do you have?

    For the most part the media buttons don t work because a driver problems (Toshiba control buttons). I had a similar problem with my laptop and I could solve it easily.
    The reinstallation of the Toshiba and controls of Toshiba common Modules should help you recover the functionality of buttons.

    Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and download the mentioned drivers that belong to your notebook in the series.

  • Portege R500 - ctrl keys have stopped working

    Hello

    Two control keys have stopped working on my laptop. The fact that it is both of them gives to think that there isn't something physically wrong with the key. I can't do a ctrl + letter for example to copy, paste, select all, or again ctrl + alt + delete

    Can anyone suggest how to recover these keys?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    A combination of keys that would disable the CTRL buttons does not for me.
    But I recommend that you check the options of common keyboard as etc., FN + F12 FN + F10, Capslock, FN + F11

    In addition, you could test the laptop with an external USB keyboard.
    If the CTRL works using an external keyboard, this problem would be related to the hardware problem.

  • The two shift keys have stopped working on my satellite

    Hello

    I have a problem with my shift keys; left and right have stopped working.
    I have no idea if it's a hardware or software problem.

    Any type of combination of key or software could disable them or it's a hardware problem?
    If so, what should be the fix in both cases. If so...

    Thanks in advance.

    Maybe "StickyKeys" activated? Take a look in Control Panel-> accessibility

    Disable it in release 'using the shortcut '.

  • Some keyboard keys have stopped working all of a sudden

    Hello world

    Some of my keys on my laptop keyboard stopped working all of a sudden. I don't know if I accidentally pressed something or if it is something to do with the FN keys, but I'd love to help if someone might be able to!
    Keys does not:

    Question mark and the slash key
    the last letter of the alphabet key
    the arrow keys
    and the 0 on the right side of the pad numbers

    Doesn't that sound like something to do with some settings or my keyboard does not work

    Thank you in advance for help! :)

    I can't say for sure, but I think that it has nothing to do with the settings. It is unclear to me that there is an option where you can disable certain keys on the keyboard.
    To be honest, I think it's a malfunction of the keyboard.

    Enter the BIOS settings and check if these keys work in the BIOS.

    All drivers and programs has been downloaded and installed from toshiba support center. Should what information I provide to solve this problem?

    Hey,.

    What you mean exactly if you write about the replacement of the lamp if you press the buttons of enlightenment? Change the color or what's happening exactly on the laptop?
    Normally the buttons of the illumination and the XP to Toshiba control controls pilot, utilities, etc.

    Using the FN + F2 key combination you can change between the profiles of different powers. Therefore, you need Toshiba Power Saver that can be downloaded on the page of Toshiba. It s really a tool where you can adjust the power and cooling settings.

  • Sensitive keys have stopped working - DV7-3020sa

    Hello

    Hope this is the right area where my question.

    My laptop is a Pavilion DV7-3020sa.

    The sensitive keys on the Panel just below the screen suddenly stopped working.

    I can't adjust the volume using the "cursor" key, I can't cut the volume either, nor can I turn on my wireless (I'm on a cable ethernet for the moment)

    Any ideas how I can get the touch sensitive screen working again please.

    Best regards, Chris.

    Hi DP - K,.

    Thank you for your help. I did what you suggested and now everything works again as it should.

    That removing the battery and holding down the power button does exactly, it resets something?

  • SHIFT keys have stopped working help [dv6 - 6127cl windows 7]

    What should I do to get this figured out.

    Hello Zelda_in_Texas,

    If both SHIFT keys are the only keys with which you are having problems, it is more than likely a driver problem.
    1. If you click Start in Windows and in the empty space, type "Device Manager" and open it
    2. you should see a section "Keyboards", or you can find it under "Human Interface Devices"
    3. Once you find the reference of the keyboard, right-click on it, select "uninstall."
    4. after that he uninstall, restart your computer. It must reload the driver

    Try this and tell me if it helps.

  • On Windows 8, some widgets, such as the menu near the upper right button, stop working after awhile, and restored by restarting the PC.

    I use the latest versions of Firefox as soon as they are available on a PC in Windows 8. Firefox works fine, usually a few hours before the annoying problems manifest. The problem, that I address here is some widgets, including some widgets Firefox and widgets (such as buttons and selectors menu drop down) isolated in some sites stop functioning. In Firefox, the Menu button (the icon of three dashes stacked) stops working. And the download arrow sometimes stops working too. Sometimes, sub-items as printed stop working. A pull-down, the high and arrow down keys could still work even if I might now be able to select with the mouse. Closing and re-opening Firefox usually restores some functionality. However, I usually have to restart the PC to restore all the functions that has stopped working. So I'm good for usually a few hours yet. Another inconvenience, which others have addressed, is the appearance of Chinese characters - to research on the tab toolbar labels at the top. Restart Firefox gets rid of these for the moment. Thanks for the study.

    Philipp,
    Thanks for the quick reply and for the advice that you have presented.
    I downloaded and installed the graphics driver that you recommended. The process went well. I have hardware acceleration disabled by an earlier recommendation to remove these Oriental characters.
    After two days of problem apparently having been fixed, I considered replying to report success. But before I could get around to doing so, abnormal behaviors reappeared. Thanks for confirming the source of these Oriental characters. Previous research indicates that the source was with McAfee or Firefox, a bit like a battle for "pointing the finger" in between.
    Best,
