  • Fn keys not working not not on my Satellite P200D-127

    Function keys not working not not on my Toshiba Satellite P200D-127

    I try to find the drivers for the keyboard, but not luck :(

    I'm trying to solve this problem since I bought this laptop.

    Can someone help me with this problem?

    P200D-127 is part of the PSPBLE series.
    The Toshiba European page doesn't provide the drivers XP especially for this series.
    But there are a few other P200 series and XP drivers were already released.

    Then why you n t check the hotkey Utility released for other laptop P200 series.
    Maybe it will work, if not, then there is nothing to do but wait until the drivers have been released.

  • Satellite P850 - FN keys not working not

    I recently bought a PC Toshiba laptop p850/049 and reformatted it for windows 7 64 x (from windows 8). After installing all the software Toshiba etc. everything worked fine but recently I noticed that the special function keys have stopped working. They certainly worked after I reformatted the computer because I remember the first time annoyed that whenever I went to refresh a webpage (f5) it would pass the trackpad as I was not familiar with the new configuration.

    I thought that the problem may be due to software "Logitech setpoint" I installed but I uninstalled since and the problem remains. Then I tried to uninstall and then reinstall the added value of packet and HW installation software and then check all card flash/keyboard settings.

    Then I tried to check the BIOS setting with no luck. No matter what setting I put it to the special keys do not work. When I "special function keys" value and press function buttons, the keypad lights up but nothing happens, in this mode if I press fn + function keys, they work in their normal mode IE spell check or refresh or full screen, etc. When I have it value "normal f1-12 function keys" the same applies to this f5 refreshes successfully, but fn + f5 does nothing. I tried to play with the settings in accessibility and HW set up and flash cards and in the BIOS without effect (it seems that change the HW set up and bios configuration change from the other and vice versa).

    It seems no matter what I set it on the keyboard seems to be impossible to access the option special function keys. I recently got sp1 under win 7 x 64, this could be a part of the problem? I'm not entirely sure when keys doesn't work but I don't know they worked after reformatting to windows 7.

    any help would be appreciated

    Hello

    Did you restart the utility of Flash Cards, which can be found under:
    All programs-> Toshiba-> restart Flash Cards

    In addition, you must also install the utility Support Flash Cards next to the VAP (value added package)

  • Satellite M40 - FN key not working not not on XP

    Hello world.

    I have a Satellite M40 (which is M43 in Australia) model number: PSM43A - 1100H, running on an XP Home Edition.
    The FN key is works but doesn't work don't not with others (F6, F7, F8 for the brightness of the screen and wireless).

    Hello

    I think you should visit the Web from Toshiba site and reinstall all the FN keys tools. Therefore, you must download and install Hotkey Utility and Toshiba common Modules, they should be accountable for the function FN key.

  • Up and down arrow keys not working not

    I got the HP Pavilion g6t - 1B 00 CTO Notebook PC now for a year or two. I have been having some problems with internet connectivity and put my computer to "sleep".

    However, a few days ago my keyboard randomly started acting strangely. When I would try to type some numbers of the letter /, they would come out differently.

    E.g. by pressing the space bar arise "." ' / M ' instead

    I tried to restart my computer several times and installed an update of the BiOS that fixed all my issues except for my up and arrow keys. From now on, they have no function; I can't scroll with them and they don't seem to take the role of another key. I tried to use the keys on different programs. The key to using scroll works, but I still can't use the keys and.

    Is there anyway to get the top and down arrow keys to work again?

    Larasoft,

    You can do it yourself; It is not too terrible a task to accomplish.

    Here is the Service Manual for your computer and page 50 are the instructions to remove the keyboard.  To actually get the keyboard itself you can contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836 if you reside in the United States or to the Canada or click on this link and select your location, and the number is provided for you.

    Now if you feel comfortable, the HP support service can provide you with a quote to get the keyboard replaced directly through them so that the option is still possible.

    If I was helpful, or if you want to say thanks you can click the White Star under my name to give me congratulations.  I really appreciate it.

    Please answer as soon as possible.

    Thank you

  • Special function keys not working not not on Satellite C50 - Windows 8.1

    Hello

    Please could someone help me.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A0393, I received a few months ago with already installed Windows 8.1 (64-bit). Today, I got a message saying that I had to watch the PC health, a blue message Toshiba about that the access agreement and I noticed that there are three updates that needed to be done, the only one, I remember being the Toshiba Video Player. I think that another had to do with the light of the charger?
    I do not know.

    But once I rebooted my laptop after the update I noticed that the special function keys were not working (i.e. the volume, mute, pause and play, etc..). Then, I went to the Toshiba Office help and in Control Panel and select the keyboard tab. I did as the setting for the special function mode has been selected.

    Now, when this setting is in place, some keys work but for F3, F5, F6, etc. and when I want to use special features that the volume up and down work when pressing 'Fn', but the special function mode is still selected? These two work only, not the mute or the flightmode or bluetooth, which was operating normally before the updates.

    I googled but can't find something specific to 8.1, or not covered do not upgrade to 8.1. I can't find the flashcard utility and do not want to try something where I don't know what I'm doing. How can I get these special function keys working again normally? Sorry for the long message, but I wanted to give as much information as possible.

    Thank you very much

    Melanie

    Hello

    It seems strange to me that an update of Toshiba (Toshiba Video Player, etc.) would have an impact on the key features of function.
    However, the function key (F1 - F10) can be used in combination with or without the FN key. It depends on the special function key mode.

    In case you want to use the F1 - F12 functions without the FN key, the key mode of function must be enabled (should be set to the special mode of operation)

    Full details here how it works:
    https://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD2503B90001R01.htm

    Now it these buttons would not work even if pressing the FN key, then there is a problem with the software.

    First of all I would recommend allows you to set the default BIOS because this mode key function can be changed in the BIOS too.
    After this, check if the key would work. If not, reinstall
    Key feature of Toshiba utility

    And the driver for the Toshiba system

    You can also check if the essential service has not been disabled.
    Start the Task Manager and go to start a number of questions. You must activate all Toshiba apps, services and then restart.

  • Satellite M30: FN keys not working not not after installing IE7

    I installed IE7 and noticed that the fn keys no longer work. (Satellite M30)
    I don't know if it was the catalyst because I do not know how long the problem has been.

    The only ones I use often are FN + f6 and f7 +.
    I really need to be able to adjust the brightness of the screen. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    First lights up the screen can be changed also in the Toshiba Power Saver utility.

    But it s very strange that, after the IE7 update the FN keys stopped working. I installed the IE7 on my laptop, and the FN keys still work very well.

    So maybe it of a simply wrung something in the registry. Who knows?  :|
    I recommend reinstalling the common Modules.

    Maybe it helps!

  • Qosmio F50 - Fn keys not working not properly on Windows 7

    Hello.

    Install Dual Boot with
    * genuine Vista,
    * 7 RC1 64.

    All the drivers are OK on Seven 64 (some require to accept Vista compatibility mod to work properly - ALPS Touchpad, for example), except the Add Package value:
    * No Flash Cards.
    * Panel buttons work fine. Except the Dolby button which does not (beep, but nothing else).
    * Keys Fn work partially:
    Bq. -His volume, brightness and a few other basic functions (caps and numlock, etc.) are well recognized by seven. \\-Sound it / off, in sleep & sleep, switch video modes Panel/external, touchpad ON / OFF do not work.
    Tried the usual (VAP of uninstall, reboot and clean, restart and reinstall, then restart), but nothing more.
    I use the latest BIOS update available.

    When we look into msconfig, I saw only one executable file, HSON, islaunched at startup, but is never visible in the process list (even having chosen 'Show all processes users'). Is this normal (because it can launch services/DLLs then stop) or not? I tried all modes (XP SP2, XP SP3, Vista) compatibility and admin rights, but it is not yet launched (or self-closing)...

    No matter who with Vista 64 experienced the same problem? Or: matter with Vista 64 a all work keys Fn?
    Any idea?

    Thank you.

    Hello!

    The FN, flashcards, illuminating buttons and keys all these special function keys to the Toshiba value added Package.

    So it of a bit confusing, but you have a problem with Windows 7 or Vista x 64?

    I guess that the VAP does not work on Windows 7 because it s is not designed for this OS and there is no PPV still available for Windows 7, only for Vista.

    If you have some problems on Vista 64, I can recommend this thread:

  • MBP 15 "Early 2011: some keys not working not

    Hello Experts,

    I'm on a MacBook Pro 15 "early 2011 10.11.3 on OS X El Capitan.

    Now, some keys on my keyboard doesn't work anymore, only F1 - F9 (F10 - F12 still works fine) and the right SHIFT key.

    I read some other threads about this here, tried SMC-reset, reset PRAM, no change at all. (After reset the SMC he worked shortly, but after about 15 minutes even error.)

    FN + F1 - F9 does not either.

    Also, I checked my console to find errors, that's what I get when I press F1/F2.

    ATTENTION: assert (-1! = internal) failed in the function-[DeviceGammaContext isInternal]: 2096 in file /Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/AmbientDisplay/AmbientDisplay-58/Sources/ DeviceGammaContext.m

    This error no longer appears.

    I have to say, I got my Logicboard exchanged 1 week ago by an Apple Technician due to the graphic problem common with the older MBP.

    Can it be a coincidence? It has something to do with the keys without work?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Chyllie

    EDIT: There was no liquid spilled on the keyboard, or something similar, also when I plug in an external keyboard (non-apple) the right shift is working on it and also the buttons Play/Forward.

    It was a bad connection to the logicboard, for all who have the same problem!

  • Satellite A200 - 14 d PSAECE - Fn keys not working not not & other function keys

    Hello

    (1) I ask your help on installing my Fn keys drivers for my laptop Satellite A200 14 D PSAECE.
    My OS is Windows XP and I have Bitdefender Internet Security 2009.
    Drivers Toshiba download page, I got all the drivers for my laptop (36 of all - or close), but reinstalations of Xp a lot, I did on my laptop, only after all keys Fn worked when pressing Fn + key and the corresponding icons appeared on my screen. I have read a few forum topics and I understand there's a problem on the order in which I have to install (I already installed all, but it does not work), so I need someone to tell me who are the drivers for the Fn keys only and in what order to install. Don't forget that I can turn off my Bitdefender but not uninstall.

    (2) the same problem with the buttons preset above the keys - start-stop, Internet, Media Player, Play-Stop-Rewind, I need the driver and order.

    Thank you for your time :)
    Sorry if this question is already answer in the forum somewhere, but I couldn't get this exact answer.

    Hello

    I remember that the BIOS must be updated to the version of Win XP on Satellite A200 series.
    There are two different versions of the BIOS and installed (Vista or Win XP) the correct version should be used.

    But there are a lot of FN buttons which requires an additional installation of various tools.
    For example, the Touch Pad on / off Utility must be installed to use the FN + F9 keys.

    In addition, you must install the 3.22.2701 and 2.49.2.5C pilot controls in order to get control of Toshiba functionality of buttons.

  • SHIFT keys not working in a t420

    Hello world

    My apologies for the lack of capitalzation.

    Suddenly tonight, turning my caps lock key is kept. I would like to press the button, but it wouldn't turn off. After my laptop computer is shut down and restarted, the SHIFT key now works properly, but none of my shift keys work. everything else seems to work very well. I've not spilled something on the keyboard and nothing happened or changed between when it was working fine before and now. What is important, the two shift keys do not work, instead of one, while the rest keys in the area of the two shift keys seem to work fine, so it seems that the problem is some sort of issue with the shift key...

    Thanks in advance for any help people can offer, I really appreciate it.

    It is possible that the keyboard itself is fine and the motherboard went a bit wonky, but will be difficult to diagnose without a motherboard that is well known or known good keyboard.

    I guess you could lift and remove the shift keys and check that it works mechanically (which is likely). Then I would pull out of the rubber dome (need to identify switches) to check the electrical contacts under him and try to fill it directly.

    Any keyboard off of eBay for X 220, {T, W} {4, 5} {1,2} {0, 0 s} will work.

  • HP 250 G2 KEYBOARD FN KEYS NOT WORKING NOT

    Hello, I recently bought a laptop HP 250 G2 without OS (freedos)

    After you have installed windows 7 Home premium x 64 I went to the web page of the HP support and downloaded all the drivers, install them and everything seems to work without problems.

    The only problem is that the HP support page does not all the drivers for the keyboard and the result is that all the FN buttons are non-functional.

    In Device Manager the keyboard is displayed normally because Windows 7 automatically installs the drivers, but these aren't 100% compatible so that the FN keys would work.

    Please, it is very important to be mean use only FN keys so that I can change the brightness, sound level and tun works / stop wifi.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Aspire the s7 - 392 fn keys not working do not: airplane mode and switch poster

    Hello

    I read messages on the other fn keys not working do not, but can't find anything about these two (fn + q and fn + e). I just reinstalled windows 8.1 (and spin the dual boot ubuntu) and now these two keys have no effect.

    Does anyone know that drivers are responsible? Or have any other ideas?

    Thank you.

    Yes, if you look in the applications section of our manuals and drivers, you can download the Acer Launch Manager. Good starting point, but I'm not 100% on what software is required for the keystrokes, and not all software can be downloaded (in reason of the royalties and other legal issues).

  • FN key not working no-g6-1378sa

    Hi all

    Had this laptop over a year now, and until recently the key FN will work very well. However, after recovering Windows using the discs provided (and), I have a problem. The FN key does not work.

    I used to leave the keys of the Action, according to the applications that I use the F1 - F12 keys, but now I can't use the action keys while pressing FN. If I turn on action keys, it works as expected, but I can't press the F1 - F12 keys.

    I have uninstalled/reinstalled several versions of HP, HP OSD Quick Launch bar, etc. I tried several UEFI firmware updates, nothing helps.

    Any suggestions?

    See you soon.

    Edit: For laptop is a HP g6-1378sa

    Hello

    If you have a keyboard to test with the FN function, this would help to determine if its a question on the laptop or if it is the keyboard.

    Also, make sure your BIOS is up to date. Update the BIOS.

    I would like to know how this happens.
