Display brightness with EliteBook 8460p function keys

I'm having the same problem with my brand new 8460 p which was much discussed here: the brightness of the screen cannot be adjusted using the function (fn + F keys) then under Windows. In other threads, the problem has been resolved by installing the latest drivers for chipset (which was not provided by HP), but in these discussions, the computer was an earlier model. 8460p has the new QM67 express chipset and currently I use the latest drivers for it (according to the website of detection of intel).

So, does anyone have a solution how I might be able to fix this annoying little problem?

I'm running a new installation of Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit with all the latest drivers.

Hello

The FN keys are not directly related to the chipset. Try to reinstall the following driver: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 321957 & prodSeriesId = 5056942 & swItem = ob-96404-1 & prodNameId = 5056943 & swEnvOID = 4060 & swLang = 13 & taskId = 135 & mode = 3 .

Also, install HP Support Assistant: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 321957 & prodSeriesId = 5056942 & prodNameId = 5056943 & swEnvOID = 4060 & swLang = 13 & mode = 2 & taskId = 135 & swItem = ob-97618-1 and check for updates.

Best regards

    Model - HP laptop laptop 15-R203tx

    This PC comes with the BACK, but I started it with 8.1 Windows Pro 64-bit.

    Hello

    Well that does not explain why your f2/f3 keys do not work as you have only the Microsoft base driver installed - if the Intel driver has already been installed Ok, this may indicate a hardware problem.

    What happens if you try to install the Intel HD 5500 driver directly from Intel - it's the 2nd file in the list on the following link.

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/search?keyword=Intel%C2%AE+HD+graphics+5500+for+5th+generation+Intel%C2%AE+core%E2%84%A2+processors

    If it installs Ok, reboot the laptop and let Windows fully load for a few minutes before checking it in.

  • With persistence locks function keys!

    Hello

    I would like with persistence of lock function to my laptop E531 keys.

    I know that you can switch between the multimedia and function keys by setting FnLock (Fn + ESC), but unfortunately, this setting is volatile: whenever I restart the system (even from the power saving mode), it is lost and the default keys to new multimedia.

    Using this laptop only for "real work", with the software, which extensively uses the function keys, it becomes really angry...

    Is there a persistent way lock the function keys to generate the F1... F12 keycodes?

    If I ever need the multimedia functions, I will happily hold the Fn key before...

    Operating system is Windows 8.1.

  • L420 screen brightness does not change with the function keys

    I installed the last dryers and since then I am unable to change the brightness of the display using the function keys. I installed several driver updates from where it is difficult to know which driver is causing the problem. The pointers in this area would be a good help.

    The latest driver Intel HD (from Intel) is originally this issue. Uninstall and reinstall the driver provided by Lenovo.

  • The brightness function keys work in reverse?

    Dell Inspiron B130 with Windows XP Home Edition.   The screen was black... weak image of the desktop... diagnosed as a bad inverter.  Inverter replaced, does not solve it.  Next replacement cable, does not solve it.  However after sleeping with the arrow keys and FN which adjust the brightness, the screen is back to normal.  The strange thing is the FN and the arrow keys worked in reverse... grayed arrow high and arrow made brighter down!  Very strange!

    Display worked all afternoon until what we chose another mode of power supply in power options, then went black again and have not been able to get this back even after trying all plans.

    The bios is up to date, have the latest video drivers, etc..

    This sounds like the corruption of software... the function keys works in reverse?   Reinstall Windows would fix this problem?  Someone on another forum suggested that an update of Windows might have damaged something.  ??

    Any suggestions?  Thank you.

  • Re: Function keys issue in Toshiba M50DA103 with Linux

    Hi all

    I bought this Toshiba M50DA103 to eventually eliminate the pre-installed Windows 8 and install my flavor of Linux on it instead. However, there is a problem annoying with the function keys, a problem that appeared after I installed Ubuntu Linux. The function keys appear to all foires (the key which is supposed to increase the brightness suspends the computer instead, and so on.)

    First of all, I thought that this could be a problem with Ubuntu only, but then I tried to boot Fedora, and the problem is always the same. That being said, it could be a matter of core, or a problem of hardware compatibility.

    Could you please give me some ideas on what I can do to fix it? In fact, I have discussed this matter with the Ubuntu forums guys, but could not reach a solution.

    Please help, if possible.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I tried to understand the situation of the hotkey and belive it works like this:

    The kernel has a certain driver, toshiba_acpi, who handles the events from the keyboard shortcut key.
    The driver is for a reason any confused about the layout of shortcut keys.
    I think that most of the distros uses the same driver for the kernel, so it won't do much good to exchange for another.

    You mention the unit suspended when it is supposed to reduce the brightness.
    This is how was the plu layout of Toshiba - FN + F3 = standby, hibernation = FN + F4.

    So what is happening is that the driver react the "old way".

    I reached out to the maintainer of the pilot to ask questions about how it works.
    Don't expect miracles or even any improvement at all.
    But if we are lucky, we can find the roommate of changes.

  • HP EliteBook 8460p - support for the shortcut key - Windows 8.1

    Hi guys,.

    I have trouble getting my HP EliteBook 8460p Hotkeys in Windows 8.1 - at work - it someone you know this problem and maybe can tell me/us a solution to this?

    I tried to install "HP Hotkey Support" in these versions: 4.6.10.1, 5.0.11.1, 5.0.20.1, but none of these works. The installation will cast (after explicit install Framework 3.5 SP1 MS, because with Win 8.1 Integrated Framework 4.0 it doesn't, run the Setup program) and does deliver no errors, the processes are running but shortcut keys do not work.

    All other devices are working (sometimes with a few things) - so if anyone need help with the installation of Win 8.1 on a p 8460 EliteBook - do not hesitate to ask!

    Thank you for helping me!

    Greetings,

    Fab

    Hello again,

    I solved the problem after many experimental works... Here is the solution:

    -Support Hotkey HP for Windows 8.1.

    1. install MS Framework 3.5 SP1 (windows control panel/programs/add to control features)

    2 get the Hotkey driver version 4.5.9.1 for Windows 7 on site support driver HP EliteBook 8460p (that's sp56876)

    3 unzip the package

    4. go to C:\swsetup\sp56876 and open properties and go to the "compatibility" tab and choose the compatibility mode 'Windows 7' list

    5. check "run as Administrator".

    6. install

    Each driver now works with Windows 8.1 on the 8460p ElitePad.

    Hello:

    The Intel HD graphics card appears under the category of display cards in Device Manager or a Standard VGA adapter is displayed.

    Normally when the brightness of the screen is stuck on max and you cannot change it,'re missing you the driver from the chipset, the graphics driver, or both.

    Make sure that you have installed the Intel chipset installation and restart utility as well as the Intel HD graphics driver.
