Keys CTRL and FN suddenly swapped [here 8460p]

Hello

the keys CTRL and FN from my laptop suddenly traded.

The FN key is now running the CTRL key and vice versa.

I first thought that the CTRL works at all.

It's really annoying.

Possible to change back to the default behavior, or is it a case of warranty?

Thanks & best regards,

Philipp

  • How swop keys Ctrl and Fn?

    My laptop HP Compaq nx7400 has its keys Ctrl and Fn exchanged. How can I set it right?

    Hello

    The priority of the Fn key is usually changes in the BIOS. I recommend you contact the manufacturer of the computer on this issue.

    Note:
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor 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 be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Use System Restore.<-- web="" link,="" click="" on="" it="" for="">

    Restore to a time before the problem started.  Press - longer you wait to do this, the less likely that you will have a restore point to return to the falls in this category.

    The brand and model of the computer?  As the brand & model of car, a refrigerator, a toaster...  Who did it (manufacturer - like Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc) and what model divides it (like the Inspiron _ flag, etc.)

    If you did not autokey shortcuts so that some key combinations did things for you automatically.  Very well.

    So assuming that your "I don't have ' use System Restore" means that it has not always done for you (since you started to use the computer in all) and you just didn't know how to use the system restore - the tutorial linked to should help you locate a restore point and restore using the restore of the system.

  • Control (Ctrl) and function (Fn) keys are exchanged on the ProBook s 4530. How can I restore it?

    I have the HP ProBook s 4530, who worked as expected i.e. keys Ctrl and Fn keys work properly. Now somehow these two keys are reversed and I want to restore as well as Ctrl Key functions as Ctrl key. Please note that I am running Windows 7 on this computer. How can I restore it?

    I seem to slide my hands on something down on my laptop VAIO (R mouse button?), and these uncontrollable changes take place.  I don't see any way to fix... I've been everywhere the buttons and icons at the bottom.  Then, just as inexplicably, the font size refers to many normal (frustrating) uses later.

    Using a conventional mouse, holding the key Ctrl and rotate the mouse wheel will. I think you've done the portable equivalent.
     
     
     
     
  • Satellite A200 - inactive keys: CTRL, SHIFT, PG. PREC, PG. NEXT, HOME, END

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200 and there is a week, some of my keys just stopped working.
    All the keys CTRL and SHIFT (left and right), PGUP, PGDN, HOME, END, are inactive.

    I uninstalled the keyboard from the Device Manager and autoreinstalled to start the system, but nothing happened.

    Is there a key combination to re-enable these keys?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    No, it doesn't have special key or combination of keys that could activate the buttons mentioned.
    This looks like a malfunction of the keyboard for me.

    Just a question; You can use all those buttons by using an external USB keyboard?
    Would be interesting to know if this is possible

    However, I think that the keyboard is affected and must be replaced by a technician of the ASP.

  • IdeaPad y460p - swap bios CTRL and FN keys

    Hi all

    I saw messages for other lenovo systems that allow to swap the mapping of the FN keys and keys CTRL at the bottom left of the keyboard.

    Anyone know if this update is available / under development? It would help a lot because my work laptop has the CTRL down left and its scaring me (and slow me down).

    Thanks in advance!

    Mark

    as you can see here, it is available for y460 (may not be suitable for y460p) but it is not official and if you treat the operation, your motherboard may be dead and because it is not official patch, the warranty covers the damage.

    and I don't think that lenovo will release an official patch to swap keys.

    Adding support for shortcut key Fn + p (Pause) / Fn + K (stop scroll) / Fn + B (Left-Ctrl + Break) / Fn + S (Left-Alt + SysRq)

    But this change is bug. I use exchanged Fn and Ctrl key. And the combination of keys CTRL + S produces CTRL + ALT. Please correct.

    When I click on anything it either in the Outlook Express Preview window to stop answer and I have use the ctrl-alt-del combination for her all over again. Anyone out there have the same problem? If so what did you do about it.

    Original title: I'm under Oulook Express 6 Windows XP Home SP3 environment.

    Bruce:

    The problem has been fixed (I think) but in a most unusual way. Let me explain.

    When I was closing down to give the computer a rest yesterday, there was a pop up saying that vprotector expected to close. He really wanted the process of closing until I clicked on finish the process. Curious to know what vprotector is, I searched on the net and got a lot of shots, saying: it is a virus and should be deleted pronto. So I searched the hard drive for the vprot. * and found in the folder program files for AVG!

    I then went to AVG to see if it's really a part of AVG and they said yes. If there is a problem with vprot, the toolbar is at fault and needs to be reinstalled. There was one click here to download and run the part of the program to fix the problem. However, I had WebRoot antivirus running that stopped the download of this program as a virus. Because I trust AVG, I've disabled WebRoot and reinstalled the AVG search bar.

    I haven't restarted WebRoot and computer flying along as it should, and OE is the link to IE when I click on a link as it has always done.

    Seems to me to be the faulty AVG toolbar and a cross with two virus programs upward was at fault. Thank you for your time. Your reply gave me a chance to think differently this problem could arise.

    Computers are really complicated machines and we have to be complicated to deal with their problems.

    Thanks again,

    Fred

  • key Ctrl, alt and right click on the keyboard won't respond or work

    I work on Window Vista Ultimate (HP Pavilion tx2500 Notebook PC) and my ctrl, unresponsive keys alt and right click. So I can't use ctrl + c ctrl + v (or others) on any of my programs (such as Word or Firefox). I can either use ctr + alt + delete. And right-click on the keyboard button (which is the same as the right click on the mouse button) is not responding or the other.

    I have already tried various things such as:

    1. pressing the combination alt + ctrl + fn
    2. "unplugging" the usb adapter (and even that I am not too sure of doing things)
    3. uninstall the keyboard driver and reboot
    4. restore the computer to factory settings

    Help, please?

    Have you tried a new keyboard?  Connect an external keyboard if it works that indicate your laptop keyboard is broken and requires replacement.  Also just FYI - this is a support forum for Windows 7; not that it is important in this case, but if you have a question related to Windows, find and use the correct forum might be essential to get the advice you need for your operating system.

  • on facebook and screen suddenly changed very little character and fuzzy not clear, so I switched to another browser and it was OK out there

    While scrolling through my facebook page. The screen has suddenly changed in very small print and Blur / Blur is not clear. The entire page had changed the way it showed. So I tried another browser and facebook page was working fine. I went back to firefox and still had problems.

    Yes, holding the CTRL key and turning the mouse scroll wheel are another way to set the zoom of page in addition to the hotkeys Ctrl and + to increase and Ctrl and - to zoom out in and Ctrl and 0 (zero) to reset the zoom.

    Welcome to the Forum - Americomacieski

    Things to try / consider:

    • Press alt + ctrl + fn all at the same time to reset (fn is the function key)
    • Make sure that your keyboard has not been defined in English in the United States to any form of multilingual.  Check the settings of: Control Panel > display icon > accessibility > make the keyboard easier to use > (down at the bottom) > keyboard settings
    • If this is an external keyboard, disconnect and reconnect - remove any dongle, batteries, reinstall all software.

    I hope this helps.
