Satellite A210-S14 - FN keys does not work on Windows XP

Hello

Please excuse my bad English-school ;)

I bought a laptop A210-S14 and it downgraded to Windows XP, because I own the components that are not running on Windows Vista.

The XP installation went very well, I found drivers as appropriate for each component, except the fn keys.
I couldn't get the keys (Fn + F1 - 12) work, regardless of the drivers, I tried to use.

Cannot install the 'Hotkey utility' I can download it on the Toshiba site because it says, this clever support my Windows Version.

The search for a solution, I read a lot of google pages and in many forums, and to sum up I realized that I need driver-various parts.
Regarding most of the pages, I need the 'Hotkey Utility","driver Toshiba component","Toshiba controls"and the"fn-esse ".

The problem is, I can't find any shortcut keyboard-utility or fn-esse, who works with my laptop.
Each version of fn-esse, I tried, could not be installed because the version of the bios could not be read.

The graduations of keys work.

Could someone please post some links here, where I can download a version of the fn-esse apropriate?

Does anyone have a solution for me, how can I solve my problem? Do I need to install the drivers in a special sequence?
What drivers do I need definiteley?

Thank you much in advance.

Greetings,
Tobias F. | StarGeneral

If I remember well a lot of people here have noticed the same thing. Here in Europe, Toshiba has solved this problem with BIOS update for Windows XP Home edition. Then visit Toshiba support and download page and check if WXP BIOS update is available.

If your laptop is supported WXP this BIOS update should be available.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

    Hello

    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a license to retail for Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition (with SP1) is installed.

    Before installing Vista, I have updated the BIOS to the latest version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
    BIOS version is now 2.20 - WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]

    After the installation of the operating system, I installed "Value package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) that contains the "utility Flash Cards". In my understanding, the installation of the "value added package" should allow the use of Fn keys.
    This doesn't seem to be true or not true.

    Here's what's happening.

    -Prior to installation of the 'value-added' package, all Fn keys did not work.
    -After installation of the "value added package", if the process of TCrdMain.exe is running, all Fn keys do not work.
    -If I remove the startup TCrdMain.exe and I restart the PC, only a few keys Fn function (Fn + ESC, Fn + F1).

    There is no way (or I have not found a way) for all keys Fn works.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thanks in advance,

    mme000

    I am not sure, but it may be because of the SP1. I installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and stuff all listed (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.

    Contains your Vista DVD facilities SP1 or you install on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate Edition (without SP1) and all the stuff on the Toshiba support site order Instructions of facilities.

  • Satellite C660 - the SHIFT key does not work

    Hello

    I have a problem with a Satellite C660.
    The keyboard, I cannot use the SHIFT key. After you have installed windows everything worked properly, the problem recurs after a few days. Practically the SHIFT key does not work.
    On the one hand I'm the A and the other side works like ESC.

    Help me I'm crazy.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    To me that sounds more like a keyboard failure, I can't imagine that it could be linked to the question of the windows operating system do you have tested an external USB keyboard.

    Please test this. In this case, you can check if it s really a software problem.
    If the USB keyboard works correctly, it means that your internal keyboard is malfunctioning.

  • Re: Satellite P200D - functions FN keys do not work on Windows 7

    Recently, I installed Windows7 ultimate 32 bit for my pc, but the function FN key does not work. I installed the VAD latest version 1.4 (for windows 7) as also the utility of the memory flash card (for vista than windows 7 does not have) as suggested in other threads, but the button still refuses to cooperate with me. The flash memory card are current running ok but only with the mouse. to all my startup programs are running ok and I also try Msconfig restart the map flash several times.

    What other driver must try?

    Once my configuration is complete (hopefully soon) what can I do I have recovery disk, I don't have to spend all those torture?

    In my opinion, you've tried everything to make it work. What happens if you try to install Vap for Vista (not for win 7, as you have it installed)?

  • Satellite A200-1FL (PSAE6) - FN key does not work on Windows 7

    I have just installed Windows 7 on my laptop and I can't do touchpad Fn key works. I tried to install the drivers from the Synaptics touchpad, but it does not work.

    What can I do?

    Hi navarone_1,

    This means that the work of FN keys and you can t use the pad touch, right?

    Well, in this case I think that the touchpad is disabled with FN + F9 key combination and therefore, you must install the Toshiba tools to activate the FN keys.

    You can find all the drivers and tools for your laptop on the Toshiba official European page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    You need Support Flash Cards of value added and utility package. These two tools should be released for Windows 7. For Windows 7 32 bit, you can find package of added value but Flash cards Support utility you must download it from another laptop, e. g. Satellite P500. It should work on your model too.

    Last but not less than first installation package of added value and Flash then cards support utility.

    Hello

    The FN keys are controlled by the Support of Flash memory card utility.
    You will need to reinstall this tool.
    But also the VAP (value added package) must be reinstalled.

    I recommend first of all remove the system from the Flash and the PPV card.
    Then restart the device and clean the registry with CCleaner.
    After that, you need to install the two tools VAP and Flash memory card Support utility

  • Satellite L735-103: one key does not work after BIOS update

    Hello

    I got a Sat L735-103, part no: PSK0CE - 00N0OUEP and I download the bios for this pc, toshiba Web site.
    I have updated bios with no problem, but now a realization thatm a key (the key located in the good of "* f ' and 'z') of the keyboard does not work.
    I have a plate with windows and linux, and the result is the same.

    Maybey I need to go back to the old bios, but in the toshiba Web site only have a bios download: (.)

    Hello

    Somehow, I can't believe that this button malfunction has something to do with the new BIOS.
    Have you noticed the anomaly key immediately after the update of the BIOS?
    You have default BIOS? If not, access the BIOS by pressing F2 when starting the laptop.
    Here, you can set default BIOS and then save the changes.

    If this is not enough, I would recommend contacting the Toshiba ASP because the technician must check whether the button is defective. In this case, replace the keyboard. The technician would be able to downgrade the BIOS as well and could check if it of really a BIOS issue.

  • Satellite Pro L100 - FN keys does not work

    When I press Fn + F5 to switch between my LCD and an external monitor, nothing happens. Do not see all the windows appear on my screen to display the current mode of the screen (LCD or external) while I'm activating/deactivating keys.

    By pressing Fn + F1 (function of the white screen) also does nothing.
    However, the brightness & related Fn + sound combinations work.

    It seems as if a utility somewhere does not work.
