Satellite R830 - Windows 8 - Fn keys do not work

I made the mistake of upgrading to Windows8 with special offer included with my Satellite R830.

When I got all the workers, my key (Flash cards) functions worked.
I use these a lot to adjust the brightness, turn on and off Bluetooth (but how I never really find - I just continues to support on until I get the result I want) adjustment volume etc etc.

Something happened and I lost the function keys.
I ran the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant that was a ridiculous download of the massive amounts of data and holding still.

I searched and searched and I've tried everything "solutions" that I could find.
I downloaded and installed the Flash cards, but that doesn't seem to be available.
I downloaded and installed the value (from the window of Windows 8 "drivers").

But there is no mention of Flash Cards in that.
I downloaded and installed the function keys, but allows only four keys, that which none that I use.

I find that my first Toshiba, being one of the most frustrating PC that I have ever owned.
The "bloatware" is amazing in its volume and its contents.

Each element seems to have been designed by a Committee.
The problem is, each of them seems to be another Committee. Confusing and mostly unusable.

My hair is thin, as it was torn so many times with this laptop.

I hope someone can help me get my function keys to work with Windows 8 x 64.

By the way, on the question of Bluetooth:-I lived a massive loss of speed on my Wifi Internet. I turned off Bluetooth and the problem disappeared.
But now I can't turn it on again when I need it!

Thank you!

Hello

Let's hope my advice will be able to help.
First of all, you can find driver Win 8 on the Toshiba UE driver page.
You must choose the Satellite R830 PT32LE - upgrade of Windows 8 section

Now you need to download and install:
-Value Added Package 1.6.0130.640205 (this is for 64 bit)
-Driver Toshiba system
-Toshiba utility function of key

Finally, restart the device and test your function keys

  • 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.

  • Reinstalled Windows 7 but Windows office product key will not work

    I kept getting a blue screen and computer kept stopping and restarting. Done all updates day and driver updates, but nothing has worked. So I decided to do the HP recovery and do a complete reinstall of Windows 7 and everything works well so far.

    You will need to find the license activation key, otherwise you will not have the version of Microsoft Office Pro.

  • Windows 8 Pro key does not work after changing HARD drive

    I had bought a Lenovo machine without installation of the OS and installed a Windows 8 Pro (and not an upgrade).

    After activation ( laptop settings-> activate Windows ) and control, the copy of Windows has been properly activated.

    The machine worked fine for 7 months before the hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. (Without recovery).

    On installation the same Windows 8 Pro on the new HARD drive again, it shows " this key did not work." "If please check and try again or try a different key"

    Please suggest a solution to this problem.

    If my copy of Windows would have been an upgrade version, it would not have worked the first time.

    Have you bought a copy of manufacturer of OEM of Windows 8 Pro system? Because there was no full version boxes retail copies of Windows 8 Pro. The following work around to try to see if it works with your copy and then try the phone activation;

    Activation of the phone:

    1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4


    2. then press the ENTER"" key.

    3. Select your "country" in the list.

    4. choose the option "activate phone".

    5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

    6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  • 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 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 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
