Satellite A305-S6857 - 64-bit XP FN keys do not work

Hello

I have an A305-S6857 and tried with XP Pro 64-bit. Drivers SATA BACK integrated and installed fine; the only driver I had to draw from Vista 64 bit was the RICOH card reader, the rest of Intel or were detected automatically.

Also have the problem with the FN keys, cannot control the brightness. Downloaded the files of a such A300 model suggested by PC Tech with no luck.

Before you install these windows files, one can enable/disable second computer laptop monitor or sleep; nothing else works.

Could go back to Vista, my battery can last up to 4 hours without wifi, 3 hours with wifi, not using USB devices, power saving mode and turning off all the lights from the BIOS. Same with XP settings give me an average of an hour and a half of battery.

PCtech, installed XP 32 bit?

Kind regards.

Your FN buttons don t work because Toshiba does not provide the common Modules for Windows XP 64-bit.
The common Modules is one of the essential drivers/tools that are needed to get the FN buttons work.

I doubt you'll be able to use these buttons using the Win XP 64 bit

    Hello

    The A205-S5843 belongs to the American TV series.
    I checked the hardware specs for the Toshiba page and it seems that this laptop was equipped with the Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN card b/g.

    The Atheros Wlan driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page we or this portal of Toshiba Europe WLan:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    Regarding your problem of keyboard/button.
    You guarantee that this is not a software problem?
    I want to say have you tested if the keys/keyboard of laptop s works with the original image of Toshiba OS preinstalled?

    In my opinion this behavior strange keyboard looks more hardware issue more software problem, but it s worth it to check if the new facility would solve your problem
    But if you see any improvements then the keyboard should be checked by an authorized partner.

  • Re: Satellite Pro U400 - 13G: software uninstalled - FN keys do not work

    The other day I uninstalled many programs standard of his Toshiba Satellite U400 - 13G, because it has been very slow in implementing.
    But now I realized that his FN hotskeys does not work.

    I tried to look in the support forum and the list of drivers, but I can't find the answer.

    So the question is what program/driver should I install to get the keyboard shortcuts to work again. It is running vista 32 bit.

    Best looks Anders vangsgaard

    Hello

    Well buddy. For the future I'll give you a tip ;)
    Never remove any parts/software if you n t know what they are for ;)

    The Satellite Pro U400 - 13G seems belongs to the PSU45E series.
    Choose this model number to download driver form Toshiba Europe.
    Then download the package of value added.

    To reinstall this PPV you will need to remove the preinstalled old VAP.
    Do it and after rebooting again to install the new downloaded package added value.

    In my view, that the FN buttons should then work.

  • Satellite Pro A-153 C50: F11 function key does not work

    The F11 key where I can spend the sound power switch does not work!
    The other keys work correctly.

    Everyone knows how to restore its function?

    Hello

    You use the special function or Standard F1 - F12?
    The special mode of operation allows you to use special features without pressing the FN key.
    This means that if the special function mode, you must press only F11 to turn the sound on and off. In the case of special function mode is off, you must press FN + F11 to turn the sound on and off.

    You can enable or disable the special function mode in:
    Office-> Office help (in the task bar)-> tools & utilities-> function key

    But I wonder if the F11 key works with other software?
    For example: pressing F11 key while using the Internet browser (internet explore) should allow mode full-screen. You can check this?

    Keyboard F11 key is maybe defective and so the sound ON / Off function does not work

    I saw several other posts on different forums for exactly the same combination of keys.

    If you haven't noticed the same problems with the external keyboard, then I would recommend replacement of the internal keyboard.

    To add insult to injury, our other HP laptop? Everything works very well.

    Any suggestions?

    Bryan

    Hi Bryan,.

    On most HP, it is necessary press the function (fn) key while pressing one of the f1 through f12 keys to activate the default features.

    FN key run frequently used system functions when you press on in combination with a function key or the

    ESC key.

    I suggest you to check the manual of the laptop for the combination used for the fn keys to work.

    If the problem still persists, you may need to contact HP

    It will be useful.

  • The FN key does not work on my new C70D Satellite

    Hello I'm new here :)

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite C70D-B-108, but the Fn key does not work. Is anyone know I can fix it? The laptop runs on Windows 8 with a shell "classic."

    Check please the parameters for function keys mode. There are two ways to use the F keys:
    -Special mode use F keys only
    -Standard F1 F12 mode key FN + Fx

    Check settings please.

    By the way: do you use the original pre-installed Win8.1 that you got with your machine?

  • I can't activate the operating system on my Satellite A305-S6857

    I have laptop Satellite A305-S6857.

    A few days ago my computer did not work well.
    So I did format and reinstall the Vista trial version because I lost my CD of vista.

    Then after I tried to turn on but did not work. I put my product key at the bottom of my computer.
    I'm really horrible at the computer.
    Now, I can't use my internet and everything.

    because I don't know where are the driver files. Can someone help me?

    Tell me where are the driver files and why wasn't my product key.

    The button on the underside is not a kind of universal key and it will not activate your Vista. This key belongs to the recovery image, that you got with your laptop. If you use the Microsoft CD/DVD facilities, then get the original key. If you don't have it you can activate it online.

    Before that, configure all hardware and internet access. All the drivers, tools and utilities for this model of laptop you can find on US Toshiba support page - http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp

    I suspect there is something wrong with the BIOS, but I'm not sure. Please someone knows how can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    To me, it looks like a serious hardware problem
    I think that as a first step, the RAM should be checked
    You should try to switch on the laptop using that one module in different locations

    If this will not help, then another part may be affected. CPU, motherboard, etc.
    In most cases it of not possible to say what role could be faulty

    Generally, a hardware diagnostic test must be done to get the details on the problem
    In m opinion that a technician should be contacted if your warranty is valid, then everything should be done free fro

  • Satellite P300D - 12L: Enter key did not work in games like FIFA, NFS

    Hi all!

    I own a laptop Tshiba Satellite P300D - 12 L.
    In the last month, I got Win XP 32-bit installed and it became a strange problem: the Enter key did not work in games like FIFA, NFS, but in others, and in the office, it worked normal applications.

    A few days ago, I installed Win 7 64 bit and now I have the same problem.

    Recently I went to my local Toshiba service and they told me, about this problem, it's a software issue, so I changed my OS.

    Anyone know what I can do to solve my problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You mean the Enter key works in common applications such as Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, or some editors correctly?
    Only these few games are troubled?

    Hmm that's strange
    You use the latest version of the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then update it!

  • Satellite A500-15N: FN keys do not work

    Hello

    I hope someone can help,
    The function key does not work in windows (I mean here the keys Fn + F6/7 change the brightness during the windows loading screen). There also seem to be buttons along the top of the keyboard (commodity the power button), but these also does not work and never have (and if they are sposed to light up they don't do that either). To let you know where I am, I received my upgrade to windows 7 and installed as the instructions in the package yesterday, (although I had the lappi for a week, I waited for the upgrade before installing anything) but once it was installed, I found he had installed the 32-bit version After trying to re - install vista 64-bit of the unsuccsesfully partition, I finally have reistalled Windows 7 64-bit DVD upgrade, (I think I should add that when it has finished installing any additional software IE.) Toshiba software, McAfee, etc. was installed)...
    I downloaded all the software Toshiba on the site, including the update of the bios (V1.50) and the update of recovery, I searched on the web and the forums and although have managed to install the infrared port that there appear to be no driver for on the dirver for this notebook page, these keys Fn stupid are making fun of me anyway... Please help :D

    THX Telico

    PS. I have a Tosh A500-15N and I forgot to say that I tried to do a new installation to see if that would solve the problem, but the ability to recover from the hidden partition is not available on the list, you get to by pressing F8 as windows starts (although the partiotion still exists)

    Post edited by: Telico

    Hey man, you made it so complicated but in fact all it is so easy and it s pitty, that you have not written of this before you start the upgrade procedure.

    I did update Win7 on friends Satellite A500 month last successfully. This means, he had the factory settings (Vista 32-bit) and we have installed Win7 upgrade using the Toshiba upgrade kit. Laptop works perfectly.

    Back to your question:
    HARD drive recovery option (F8 and repair my computer) is available with the factory only settings.
    If I understand you right, you did a fresh install of Win7. This option won't be available more, and the image recorded on the second partition is useless now and can no longer be cast.

    You can get it if you reinstall Toshiba recovery image. Have you created any such recovery disc recommended by Toshiba?

    I checked Toshiba support and download page and Win7 64 bit is supported on your laptop model and you can do clean install Win7 and install all missing things also. You will be the factory settings but works fine Win7.

    If you need more information please let us know.

  • 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.
