< Fn > keys stopped working after XP updates

I have XP Home Edition sp3. I was invited for 6 updates for XP. After installation and restarting in now my keys on laptop are not working. None of them work. Other combinations of keys are OK. + C, etc are OK. Is there a way to remove the updates that have been installed?

The laptop manufacturers implement the Fn key by using different techniques.  The first thing to do is to go to the website of the manufacturer of your laptop and download and install the driver of current keyboard for your computer.

Still problems?  Post back with the brand and model of your computer.

FYI, you can always go to windows update and click on the link to 'Review your update history'.  You will be able to identify the specific updates that have been installed.  Post their KB numbers here if you do not understand them.

For diagnostic purposes, you can uninstall more updates by going to control panel > add or remove programs and by checking the box at the top to 'See the updates'.  In general, however, it is not a good idea to leave uninstalled patches 'critical'.

  • laptop keyboard stopped working after Windows update.

    have a toshiba satellite A505 laptop and the keyboard stops working after Windows Update reboots. We reinstalled Windows 7, which fixed the problem until the updates have come. Now the keyboard is unresponsive. Sounds like a software problem, no material. Also checked the keyboard drivers that are up to date.

    As a first response, go to the control panel, device, keyboard, keyboard Manager and right click, uninstall it and let it rediscover Windows and then reinstall it.

    It suits it much of the time.

  • Satellite A105 shift stop working after BIOS update

    I have a stack of boards of laptop of the A105 (Intel chipset) series that I received with the wrong BIOS. Both worked, and I updated the BIOS on them to solve CPU compatibility issues. After that, the shift keys stopped working and pressing Shift-A causes the power led to decrease in intensity. Return to ANY BIOS version, either by the Windows, CD or floppy disk of crisis recovery program (magic key is 'F', not 'B', 'Esc' or 'U'), does not solve the problem of the keyboard.

    To make things more confusing, I've noticed that single BIOS one that actually seems to correct the problem is version 1.50, which I have not seen available for any Tecra A7 or Satellite A100/A105, with the exception of a few 100, but the BIOS file is too small and cannot be loaded.

    Anyone has an idea why these cards Intel processor do that? Or did someone knows where I can get a usable version of BIOS 1.50?

    In the interest of this post, please consider my high level of competence. (In other words, I would be grateful for the people trying to help 'Replace the keyboard', but I have about a dozen keyboards, that everything I tried, and all work on other laptops. In addition, if you have just a theoretical solution, I'm certainly open to hearing. In addition, if a Toshiba tech would answer, I really appreciate it!)

    An update, it seems that the laptop from a different manufacture series show almost the same problem. There are certainly similarities of BIOS, since these Toshiba use the magic key to Fujitsu to trigger the block to start recovery from the crisis. I guess it's very likely that this problem is specifically a problem of Phoenix BIOS.

  • Canvio Basic 2 TB suddenly stopped working after Xbox update?

    While to say that the title of the hard drive has stopped working once an update has taken place on the Xbox one a few days ago.

    Now I tried it on a different Xbox one (didn't read), and also tried on a computer laptop windows 10 has yet no chance, at first he tried to install it but only got up then stopped, but even after having passed, still nothing, now its there if I go to device management (depending on whether its fine) but I can not even open the hard drive itself.

    I've had it for about 6 months maybe a little more, but still is it safe, placed just behind the xbox connected, never needed to move it.

    I hope someone can help or suggest something, but im now puzzled.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite A105-S4254: several keyboard keys stop working after startup

    Hey

    I have a laptop A105-S4254, which is less than a year.
    When I boot it upward a few minutes most of the keys stopped working.
    The F keys will however continue to work.
    I can laugh with the brightness and activate / disable the num lock and scroll but I can't type.

    A number of key just freeze.
    When I reboot the keys work for a few minutes and then stop working again.

    Please help me with suggestions and solutions.
    Thanx

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a hardware problem. Maybe it s the keyboard or keyboard controller itself.
    But first, you must be sure that this failure was not due to a software problem.
    Therefore, it would be desirable to update the system and install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    If the keyboard problem appears again, I'd recommend contacting the ASP in your country to control the laptop.

    It seems that the guarantee could be valid for all replacements must be done for free.

  • Capacity wireless suddenly stopped working after an update of Windows Vista.

    Feature WiFi suddenly stopped working after a windows vista updated.  Wireless switch is engaged, but stays yellow that messeges troubleshooting all say computer does not detect wireless devices.  It's as if someone pulled the unit and the antenna of the portable computer.  I also downloaded the wireless drivers and Setup several times without success.  Wireless device appears in the Device Manager page.  The only thing that is showing and work is the cable which is how I can download the drivers and appear on this forum.  Is it possible that the wireless device is broken?  All applicable lights are lit on the networking modem, no signal is detected on the computer, I have concluded that the wireless on the laptop is just inop.  Either way, I have a Compaq Presario F700 laptop.  All the options out there?  Thank you

    original title: can't find the wireless device

    Hello again, Kathy,

    More specific instruction, I can give to check settings in the BIOS of your system is to search for a list of devices that installed your laptop. There are only two options for each device, activate them and deactivate them.
    Look for something listed as network radio or wireless card and make sure that it is set to enable.
    The option that you network adapter found can also control the wireless adapter, but it can control only the plug adapter (Ethernet) network.
    A simpler solution, if you have not already tried it it is the system restore in Windows as mentioned by Kiran in a previous answer:
    WARNING: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can resolved e. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Satellite A200 - Touchpad scroll function stop working after BIOS update

    Hello

    After that I updated the BIOS (drawn from the Toshiba site), the scroll function stop working. I can still click, move the mouse pointer, but can no longer navigate the touchpad. Relocation of Synaptics driver is not the problem. The strange thing is that the computer detects only my touchpad as standard pointing device (port: PS/2) device. "Graph of pressure" and "Moodpad" function also stop working and complain "this program requires a Synaptics TouchPad, and the Synaptics Pointing device driver.
    My computer is Satellite A200 PSAE0C-TR605C.

    Hello

    What operating system is installled and which is more interesting: what version of BIOS you have installed? Why I ask? Because there are 2 different BIOS versions, one for Vista (1.80) and one for XP (5.20) which means that when you Flash a BIOS XP on a computer with Vista installed then some functions do not work properly as the FN keys or the touchpad.

    If please check this out and make sure you have the appropriate BIOS installed.

  • "Show my windows and tabs from last time ' has stopped working after software updated to the end of January or early February. Now on 12.0a2. Change options "Auora to start: ' no longer works.

    I use this feature for years and update Firefox/Aurora in the next few days, maybe a week, an update becomes available and everything suddenly ' show my windows and tabs from last time ' has stopped working. I can go to the Tools-Option-general tab and change "at Aurora startup:" to this option, or 'Show my home page (s)' and now the opening in a new tab single even though I have URLs there. This may mean that this bit is not read correctly. I'm not playing: config, but I watch a few spoken options in the Web and everything looked OK.

    I would uninstall and reinstall it if you think it will solve the problem. I updated Aurora again because this problem started and it remains broken. It is a system of XP with SP3

    PS: I have two other windows with a XP and the other Windows 7. When I had the problem on my primary XP System I stopped to make updates to other systems. Today I updated the two other systems with the latest Auora (skip one or two updates) and both work very well.

    The best way for me to trouble?

    Hey punchcard4rjw,

    Have you tried to start Firefox in Mode safe? Key 'shift' startup of Firefox. If it doesn't happen in Mode without failure, you should read the extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common troubleshooting Firefox problems.

    If this does not work, you should look the article How to fix preferences that will not save.

    Hope this helps!

    I used system restore to restore the system to before the updates of Windows, which included a critical update. Outlook, then worked correctly. I changed the settings for Windows Update to "Never check updates" so that Outlook is not yet damaged.
