Satellite P100-221: FN key combinations do not work properly

Hello

I have the satellite p100-221 with pre-installed Win XP MCE. After a week of using my computer, a problem with the function keys blue appeared. FN - f1, fn - f2 and all the other fn keys combinations do not work properly. They seem to work, I can change the brightness, switch the touchpad on and out and so on, but no icon on the Info screen appears. While pressing the combination of function keys, the icons on the screen shows the time. How can I solve this problem? Is it software or hardware related?

Thanks for any help.

Hello

I put t think that this question is related to the material.
I recommend the update of the Hotkey utility.
On the page of the Toshiba driver I found two different versions:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

Your device is Satellite P100-221, then I guess the extra number must be PSPA6E.
Do not forget that you are using the correct drivers for this device.

  • Satellite L650: With the FN key combinations do not work in W7x64

    Hello

    System

    Satellite L650-1KU

    Part number

    PSK1LE-01700MRU


    I have install Windows by myself - this laptop don't have any operating system from the factory.
    Installed Windows 7 x 64, all drivers and utilities site driver Toshiba for windows 7 x 64 available for my laptop model.

    I have no any unknown device in the Windows Device Manager, all the installed drivers and all hardware components woks fine i.e. camera wifi or bluetooth or web.
    But I still can't use some combinations of keyboard with the key Fn. not all, only five combinations do not work: modes of energy Fn + F2 Fn + F4 hibernation, Fn + 1, 2 zoom and devices wirelles Fn + F8.
    Search, I found only mentions on Fn + 1, zoom 2 - this funtion providing some util named Toshiba Zoom but no any Toshiba download page don't Zoom for my model of laptop and W7.

    Looks like it must have installed some additional tools provider for the manipulation of this combination, but I can't find any soft or extra info on the driver download page.
    Maybe there are a few utils which must be placed in lists of drivers/software for 32-bit windows and it will be very good for 64 bits one?

    All the combinations that works great as volume + Fn + Fn + 4 3 or mute Fn + ESC does not show any popus time of pressing, just functions without any indication.

    Dear users and support, can you help me what should I install utils extra to support the Fn + F2 modes of energy combinations, Fn + F4 Fn + 1, 2 zoom hibernate and Fn + F8 wirelles devices?

    Akuma is right. For the feature keys FN, you install Toshiba Value added Package. This package contains several different applications.

  • Re: FN + F8 on Tecra A2 key combination does not work

    Hello

    I recently installed a new copy of Windows XP SP2 on my Tecra A2 (pta20e).
    I installed all the drivers drivers Toshiba page and everything works fine except my FN + F8 combo wireless.
    The FN keys work with other FN keys and wireless network is it.

    I can't turn it on. I welcomed the key FN in the BIOS settings I was hoping would fix, but it didn't. I also read other discussions on this problem without success so I m stuck.

    Help, please.

    Hello

    I think there must be a problem with your installation if FN + F8 key combination doesn't work...
    What drivers/tools that you have installed in what order?

    Normally, you need to install common Modules of Toshiba and controls tool. You can find it on the official website of Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/

    By the way: common Modules must be installed in the first place. If you have already installed, try reinstalling it.

  • Satellite L955 - 10K - Synaptics Touchpad Driver is not working properly

    Hello, ASRR here.

    I had a problem with my driver for the Synaptics touchpad yesterday. I'm very used to use the "gestures" to work with my touchpad and the gestures did not work properly (in fact at all) for a while. Scrolling with two fingers, three fingers touch and others (in fact all the gestures) no longer work.

    The cursor moves, and works fine but not gestures.

    When I go to mouse option in the Control Panel, a window appears indicating that the PC is "Unable to connect to the Synaptics Pointing Device Driver." and asks me if I want to uninstall.

    I have tried to uninstall, and then go on to Toshiba support page and download a driver that has been adapted for my model, operating system, etc..

    When I implemented the driver I downloaded and restart the PC, the same window appears when I try to go in mouse options in Control Panel and gestures don't work.

    An interesting thing I noticed though, is the fact that when I back the driver (in the settings to properties then Hardware) gestures do FINE. However, as he always asks you to restart the computer for Rolling back the driver will take place, when I restart it, it defines the Microsoft 2006 touchpad driver. who does not understand the gestures that I need.

    I tried several times to fix it, but I can't. I went the UEFI firmware set up and tried to restore default but without success.

    I really don't know what to do. Could someone please help?

    My Toshiba model is a Satellite L-955-10 K with a 64-bit processor and system of operating Windows 8 initially installed.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    > I went the UEFI firmware set up and tried to restore default but without success.
    How to understand this? Have you tried to put your laptop to factory settings?
    To be honest I don't understand what the problem is here. I also thought that the new driver installation can help but obviously it didn't help much.

    I don't know if this is an option for you, but you can set laptop to factory again and I hope that everything will work properly again. Before doing this test also to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore option.

    One last thing: it has nothing to do with your touchpad problem, but I recommend you create a recovery (recovery backup image) using pre-installed recovery media creator media.

  • Satellite P100-160 - several PCI bus do not work with a shadow video BIOS

    Hello

    I got my Satellite P100-160 for about five years now and have never had any problems like this before.
    A few weeks ago my system did not (or something like that), so I pressed the power down button to turn it off.
    Then, as he was put on, he seemed to freeze on the loading page and so I held the off button again.

    The present results are when I turn it on, I get a screen telling me several bus PCI etc do not work and he says 'video occult BIOS.
    I then have the option to press F1 to resume or F2 to enter setup.

    In addition, one of my USB slots has completely stopped working and my card slot has also stopped working.
    Can someone help me please? I'm on Windows XP, SP2.

    See you soon,.
    Liam

    Hello

    I think that you need to access the BIOS (press F2 when the laptop starts up) and put its default value.
    Then try to start the Vista again and press F8.
    Then you will get a menu of advanced start it you should choose repair computer.
    Vista supports a clean internal repair option, you should try this and must repair the operating system.

    If this will not help and you still want to not be able to start a view, then a system recovery may be the best option for you

  • Satellite A10 S203: the CPU fan does not work properly?

    I have toshiba satellite a10 s203 and the cpu fan does not work correctly. What can I do about it?

    Hi SACRIFICE them.

    Here are some possible solutions to this problem of fan.

    1. When you have installed a base installation of MS (not the Toshiba Recovery CD) you need to install the Toshiba Power Saver and others utilities from the CD tools & utilities. The energy saver is responsible for the control of the fan.

    2. If you have a recovery based OS, you can update the energy saver of http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com site Web Toshiba under Support & Downloads - Download Driver

  • Satellite P100 - 400 (PSPA6E): display driver does not work with Vista 64 bit?

    Hello

    I have a P100-400 (PSPA6E) Satellite and I just got the new version of Windows Vista x64bits. I tried this version of Vista because this series of laptops in the 64-bit processors. Well, the problem was when I downloaded the drivers to display on the site and when I'am install the installer says I'm not a Windows vista OS.

    Well actually these drivers only work for Vista x32bits. And I had the same problem with the audio drivers. If Vista was running really slowly and noiselessly, perfect...

    What I am asking, that is, if you realize laptops with 64 bit, why aren't you drivers that work with 64 bit systems...

    Hello

    In fact 64-bit Toshiba drivers are not available at this time on the Toshiba page.
    I think 64-bit drivers are not available because Toshiba doesn't provide any laptops equipped with 64-bit operating system.

    But as far as I know that the new 64-bit drivers should appear both text.
    I'm also looking for these drivers because I m an owner of the 64-bit version of Vista.

    It seems that we have to wait but I m sure that the drivers will be available.
