  • 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.

    Thanks for any help,

  • Satellite Pro S500-139 - FN + F9 key does not have to turn off the touchpad

    Hello

    I use a Satellite Pro S500-139 and am having problems with my F9 key. When I tap my palm touches the mouse and send the cursor somewhere else on the page. I reinstalled the ALPS pointing device and now have access to the Advanced setting that I was not able to get.

    Although I can set the sensitivity etc. I would really be able to use the shortcut to disable the mouse momentarily while typing. My keyboard shows that, if I press fn and F9 the i should be able to disable the mouse but the function does not work. F9 all other functions seem to work.

    Do you know if there is a solution to this?

  • Problems with the sound function and scrolling on the touchpad on my Satellite A500/026

    Hello

    I just brought a new laptop A500/026 and when I play music from my ipod I get a little static pop sound at regular intervals during the song... this happens on all my music. I accidentally scroll horizontally through my touhpad and my screen minimizes or maximizes. I try to find how I did it, but can never seem to return to its normal state. There is obviously some sort of function here, can someone help me with it? I installed the x 64 bit version of windows 7.

    Thank you

    Eddie

    Hello

    The touchpad settings are placed in Control Panel-> mouse
    You can find the additional tab which would be you can access touchpad properties.

    As I know the touchpad properties contains many different options that allows you to configure the scrolling function, to activate and assign different actions to the touchpad corners, etc.

  • Backlighting and function keys not working not not on Windows 10

    Hello!

    After I updated my Windows 8.1 to 10, I lost my keyboard function keys backlight (volume, brightness, etc.) and the OSD that I used to have (similar to the OSX one).

    My Bootcamp has been updated via USB, after preparation on the Mac side. Now it's on version 6.

    I tried to manually reinstall, remove all what about Apple and relocation, etc., but nothing seems to help.

    Actually I was not able to remove the support of Bootcamp, because there was no option at this point.

    My MBP is mid-2012.

    Do you know what I can do to fix this?

    Thank you!!!

    Gustavo

    In your device manager, you have the Apple keyboard driver? You have an element of Bootcamp in the Panel?

  • 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 C870-12F - FN Swapping keys and function keys

    I just bought my Satellite C870-12F and I noticed the only work of function keys (F1, F2 etc) when you use the Fn key, I was wondering if I can 'swap' them, while I have to press Fn first and then to increase brightness, for example.

    I'm used to having the keys of F or primary, without an extra key to activate.

    As far as I know, you cannot change anything.
    Keys Flash cards (Fx) can be used in combination with the FN key only.

  • HP envy touchsmart function keys

    As the function keys on the hp envy all-in-one way?

    Hello Buteruski44,

    My understanding is that you would like to know the meaning behind this exact function, is - keys? I will try to explain that better than I can.

    Normally, the function keys have different goals, brightness adjustment, put the computer to sleep, and depending on the type of computer you have, there could be a mute. Also, here is a documentthat could help you a little better.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thank you

  • Some function keys do not work onSatellite P850 138

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P850 138 and the standard functions on the function keys do not seem to work (NOT the keys F1 - F12 that you must use the Fn because they work fine).

    F6 - F10 video features seem to work correctly during playback of a video. Available on F11 - F12 and F2 - F4 functions do not seem to work at all. (brightness up/down, screen, toggle touchpad switch, volume and wireless)

    Any advice on how to get to their work?

    Thanks in advance.

    The first thing you can try is to reinstall extra package from Toshiba.
    Remove the preinstalled version, restart the computer and install the latest version of the Toshiba download page.

    Try the following.

    Download the Intal HD Graphics package on the following link and Save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp65501-66000/sp65598.exe

    Then, download and reinstall the Chipset driver below.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp69501-70000/sp69575.exe

    Once done, do not restart as prompted, rather open your download folder, right-click on the Intel graphic installation program and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.

    When this is finished, stop the laptop.

    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f9 to load the default values (sometimes it is f5, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Let windows take over completely for a few minutes before checking if the keys work now.
