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!

  • Satellite Pro L300 1AI LCD screen backlight not working not

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite Pro L300 1AI running Windows Vista the computer starts and works fine but the backlight on the screen doesn't seem to work.

    Y at - it none of the Vista settings that can affect this (other than the Fn key command on the keyboard and settings) in Control Panel? Strangely, it seems to have happened since I installed Skype but I don't see how this could possibly affect it.

    Any help is much appreciated...

    Hello

    What s wrong exactly? Brightness screen laptop s is too low?
    Everything you see on the screen as behind a thick fog?

    Well, usually the FL Inverter control the backlight of the screen and if the FL inverter starts to malfunction, so you would get the problem like this.

    There is no alternative to replace this inverter FL.
    It s a small part behind the frame of the screen I think that it s a job for a technician in ASP.

  • 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 Pro L20: FN + F8 key does not work after the installation of new

    I just reinstalled xp on my laptop and I can't find drivers that work my hardware (F8) wireless function key.
    Unfortunately I don't have the CD of drivers Toshiba with me, I work as an expat abroad so I count on the official website of Toshiba for my drivers.
    I downloaded all drivers successfully vital but can find no reference on the site that will help me with the problem.
    I tried to turn on the radio via the LAN setting but when I try to activate I get the message telling me to turn on the hardware!
    Any suggestion would be accepted with gratitude.

    Thank you

    Hello

    On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the installation instructions how to install all the drivers of Toshiba.
    It is very important that pilots will settle in the right order.

    In addition, if you want to spend on the WLan, you have to activate the WLan switch on the side of the laptop and also to enable the antenna WLan with FN + F8.

  • 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.

    I doubt it because it sounds like a mechanical hardware problem and in this case, the disk must be replaced.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L300-EZ1523 - FN + F8 does not

    Hello

    I have the Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-EZ1523 on win xp pro os, I installed all necessary drivers, including the hotkey utility, all work perfect, but funtion FN + F8 switch wi - fi does not.
    How cen be the problem? What is some difficulty for whom?

    Kind regards!

    Obviously missing something. To work well the FN feature, you must install all the necessary stuff from Toshiba. Most important for utilities and tools Toshiba is common modules. Is is kind of basic application and all others must be installed later.

    Make sure that you have installed the utilities and Toshiba hotkey utility. I don't know how you installed everything it and what facilities order you used but please check again all the specific tools of this Toshiba.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - USB card reader does not support the 64 GB

    HI I have a Satellite Pro L300 under Win XP that I want to attach a USB card reader. I find that I can not read the 64 GB cards. The error is that the card is not formatted. All other cards read correctly. I can place this card reader in my desktop running Win 10 and it works correctly and reads the 64 GB cards. This seems to indicate that the USB card reader works properly, and perhaps that the problem lies in the USB on the Toshiba drivers. Has anyone else had this problem and found a fix for this. I've just updated the BIOS but no improvement. Thank you

  • Satellite Pro L300-291 - how to get the work of resolution 1920 x 1080?

    Hello

    Really bad, my old PC and laptop can connect to my external monitor to 1920 by 1080, which is the native resolution of the screen, even made my Xbox 360. But won't my Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-291, it tops out at 1680 by 1050 and will not display anything higher. I tried the latest drivers without success. What is a physical limitation on the laptop?

    Thank you

    Mark

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with the user above:
    -Check the user manual and
    -Check out the features of your graphics card

    Then you will find information which screen resolutions are supported and not. In addition, don t compare it with other laptops or devices. Not all laptops are the same, there are different hardware, etc.

    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.
