• Satellite A110-195 - some Fn + keys do not work as before

  Recently, I disabled autostart apps and from that moment, the Fn + keys shown in the topic do not work as it should. First the message window does not appear for all keys function, including F6 and F7 for example, but also they work properly - the brightness of the screen changes.

  The real problem is that I can not launch the WiFi connection with the Fn + F8 combination lock screen with Fn + F1 or cut his power with the Fn + Esc combination.

  What should I do?

  Hello guys

  Before you start looking for solutions, I'll try to explain how the whole work.

  As you know Toshiba has designed a lot of different tools and utilities to make it work with laptop easy and allows the optimal hardware configuration. All these tracks tools harmonic and for some of them is important to run along with other tools. On many models laptops that must be preinstalled utility called very important common modules. It's kind of utilitarian basis and without her other tools may not work properly.

  Use FN + x key combination executes different options and it will work if the tools and utilities are installed properly and also active.

  Dear Robert, you probably killed some of these processes and they do not start with WXP initially upwards. Please turn it on again.

  Krish I put t know you did and turn it off, but I recommend you to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. I hope that on this path, you will have the laptop as before.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300-1J1 - some FN keys do not work

  My FN key seems to have broken the half.

  When I press on it that the icons would be usually displayed on top of my screen now it doesn't and all the function keys F1 F2 F3 etc work with key except F4 which hibernates the computer, also light turn on under F10 if that helps.

  Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  What operating system do you use?

  I doubt that it is a hardware problem because FN + F4 works and put the computer into hibernation.

  If you use Vista, you need to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package.
  If you are using XP, you must reinstall the Hotkey excessively.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro L300 some FN keys do not work on XP

  I bought a L300-164 on Monday. However, there is no preinstalled opsys. I installed a Win XPSP2 (HUN) on it and downloaded the drivers from www.toshiba-europe.com.

  First I have installed chipset and video drivers, then I installed "common Modules". After you finished and restart I tried to install 'orders', but who says "common modules" are not installed.

  So I installed 'save energy' and tried to install it once more the 'controls '. Now, it has been installed normally. Finally, I put on "hotkey utility" and "touchpad utility power. So everything seems to be all right on the machine, but a few FN keys do not work: F6 and F7 doesn't control brightness, F2 is not change power mode and F9 switch touchpad power (of course in a hurry with the FN). However, volume knob works, ESC as the work of mute and Fx buttons also work elsewhere.

  Y at - it ideas to make these buttons work?

  Sat L300-164 seems to belong to the PSLBDE series, and you must download and use the drivers from the Toshiba European designed for the series Sat L300 PSLBDE page.

  Is the common Modules is a key driver that is important for the functionality of the FN button.

  I would recommend so reinstall the common modules again!

  Hello!
  I just installed Windows XP (sp3) on a satellite L300 PSLBGE by Toshiba... and the FN key does not work.
  At the moment I have to activate bluetooth... but FN + F8 does not work.

  What can I do? I installed Hotkey, save energy and controls (1.0.0.8)...

  FN still does not work. FN + F3 does not activate the option to sleep...
  FN + F8 does not Bluetooth... FN + F6 and Fn + F7 to control brightness... nothing to do.

  Am I the only one having this problem?
  There is no updated BIOS... and it's very frustrating.
  If I press FN the Green led appears under tension... that there is no problem about the keyboard... What can I do?

  I absolutely have TO activate bluetooth... but if I press Fn + F8 it does not work! I want to read someone who have this laptop and told me "I have your satellite L300 PSLBGE 1 b 1 and my bluetooth and my FN button works with Windows XP!" ... maybe he could help me :)

• Satellite A350-13 a - function keys does not work

  I have the Satellite A350-13. I installed Windows 7 for 2 weeks.

  The function keys does not work although I have installed the Toshiba value added package, which is responsible for the activation of the function keys.

  What the solution to this problem?

  > Function keys does not work although I have installed the toshiba value added package, which is responsible for the activation of the function keys

  Next to the VAP (value added package) you need to install the Flash Utility card support!
  Card Flash utility support controls the keys FN and not the VAP! But VAP is also needed.

• Satellite M30-S350. Fn keys do not work after reinstalling the operating system

  I reinstalled the system on my laptop and now the Fn keys do not work. How do adjust me them? And yet... How to disconnect the touchpad?

  Hello

  It seems that what he is an American unit and was designed specially for the American market.

  But have you used the Toshiba Recovery CD?
  If this isn't the case, then you must install all the drivers Toshiba and utilities in the correct order.
  Chipset utility
  common modules
  graphic driver
  etc.

  The FN keys supports different function. To use these options, you will need several drivers. For example, use the FN + F5 (the display switching), to the Toshiba Hotkey Utility to display the devices & Toshiba display device change Utility and toggle the Touchpad to install Toshiba Touchpad enable/disable utility

  As you can see it good drivers are needed. Please visit the Toshiba us and download the right driver for this laptop

• Satellite A100 - 369 (PSAARE) - Fn keys do not work with XP

  Hello
  I have an A100-369 (PSAARE) I had Vista and I installed XP.
  I have download all the drivers for my pc from this site and I have installed all. (Hotkey Utility, included)
  and everything works perfectly.
  I have not updated my bios again.
  My Fn key does not work.
  I need to update the Bios? I already have the download (bios - 20071126124517.zip)
  I might of to do this by myself?

  Thank you!

  The update of the BIOS is always risky!
  But if you use good BIOS and the good BIOS update procedure so that there should be no problem.

  I think the keys FN don t work because the BIOS does not support on XP or because the tools and the correct drivers are missing.
  After you have updated the BIOS, you must install all the drivers Toshiba XP and utilities in the right order!

  The correct order is mentioned in the installation instructions txt file located on the page of Toshiba Europe.

  Good luck

• Satellite L505 - 10 M - FN keys do not work

  On my Satellite L505 - 10M, the FN keys no longer work.
  I downloaded vap - 20091202163002.zip and let him remove all.
  Turn it back on. VAP reinstalled and SCCF-20091202161105. Zip again.
  Turn it back on. FN keys still don't work!

  Only an icon of FN is added in the field of system without response on the left or right click.
  Still, something else must be mistaken. But what?

• Satellite A200-10N (PSAE3): Fn key does not work after upgrade to vista any time

  After upgrading Vista-Home - Premium--> Vista Ultimate shortcut with the fn keys does not work, for example Fn + F6/7 (brightness).

  New value pack installation has not been successful.
  Moreover, after upgrading the drive to DVD from Toshiba is default, too.
  Who can help?

  I didn't try any update on my A200 but you can try to follow: install Vista using recovery media delivered. When Vista starts for the first time go in Panel and you can find Add/Remove Programs option. Remove all the stuff designed by Toshiba.

  When we remove everything, making Vista upgrade. After finishing Vista upgrade install all the stuff of Toshiba designed by order of specific facilities starting with added value package. Check please the download page if all of these tools and utilities are available.

  As far as I know all the tools and utilities are designed as universal tools and I can't imagine that there is a difference between the version of Vista ultimate or premium tools.

  DVD player is part of the image of the installations only and I can imagine that upgrade installation has changed something, but the upgrade procedure is responsible for this. I don't see any connection to Toshiba.

  As I said I don't have a CD to upgrade, but if I find one I'll try to test it on my Vista (Premium) preinstalled A200-1CR.

  Bye and I hope that you report your experiences with the Vista upgrade again.
