• Satellite U940-103 with Linux - Touchpad does not & poorly programmed FN keys

  Hello

  I bought a toshiba Satellite U940-103, and I installed ubuntu 13,10 dual boot with windows 8.1.

  The problem is that the touchpad is not working and the fn are false (fn f2 key suspend the computer instead of the brightness control).

  I tried to install linux different sistem (Mint cinnamon 15, 13.04 ubuntu, ubuntu 12.04.3) but they still have the same problem, even in the live cd.

  I tried to ask the Italian Forum of ubuntu, but they have solutions do not work...

  Thanks for the help

  * PS.* sorry for my bad English. Is it normal that my laptop seems overheated and my battery life seems to be reduced when I use Linux?

  Hello

  Yes, you're right!
  In the direct (stable mode without having to install), the touchpad does not work.

  However, once installed, it will work.

  In regards to shortcut keys, yes they are mapped correctly.
  They are treated to the old-fashioned way (former Toshiba models had the mapping used by Linux on this model).
  If you want help, file a bug report on bugs to Ubuntu system.

  You can always change the brightness by using the GUI (Control Panel > brightness & Lock).

  Fun with Ubuntu on your device!

• Special function keys not working not not on Satellite C50 - Windows 8.1

  Hello

  Please could someone help me.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A0393, I received a few months ago with already installed Windows 8.1 (64-bit). Today, I got a message saying that I had to watch the PC health, a blue message Toshiba about that the access agreement and I noticed that there are three updates that needed to be done, the only one, I remember being the Toshiba Video Player. I think that another had to do with the light of the charger?
  I do not know.

  But once I rebooted my laptop after the update I noticed that the special function keys were not working (i.e. the volume, mute, pause and play, etc..). Then, I went to the Toshiba Office help and in Control Panel and select the keyboard tab. I did as the setting for the special function mode has been selected.

  Now, when this setting is in place, some keys work but for F3, F5, F6, etc. and when I want to use special features that the volume up and down work when pressing 'Fn', but the special function mode is still selected? These two work only, not the mute or the flightmode or bluetooth, which was operating normally before the updates.

  I googled but can't find something specific to 8.1, or not covered do not upgrade to 8.1. I can't find the flashcard utility and do not want to try something where I don't know what I'm doing. How can I get these special function keys working again normally? Sorry for the long message, but I wanted to give as much information as possible.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  It seems strange to me that an update of Toshiba (Toshiba Video Player, etc.) would have an impact on the key features of function.
  However, the function key (F1 - F10) can be used in combination with or without the FN key. It depends on the special function key mode.

  In case you want to use the F1 - F12 functions without the FN key, the key mode of function must be enabled (should be set to the special mode of operation)

  Full details here how it works:
  https://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD2503B90001R01.htm

  Now it these buttons would not work even if pressing the FN key, then there is a problem with the software.

  First of all I would recommend allows you to set the default BIOS because this mode key function can be changed in the BIOS too.
  After this, check if the key would work. If not, reinstall
  Key feature of Toshiba utility

  And the driver for the Toshiba system

  You can also check if the essential service has not been disabled.
  Start the Task Manager and go to start a number of questions. You must activate all Toshiba apps, services and then restart.

• Satellite 2450 does not start - only in safe mode

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my Satellite 2450 where it is not initialize properly - is stuck in the screen of Windows XP (just continues to scroll through and hangs there).
  I can boot into safe mode.
  Have not had any other problems with it - no errors, do not have installed/uninstalled anything recently.

  Any ideas what could cause this problem?
  Do you think I should use the recovery disk to reinstall the OS? Anything less drastic I can try?

  any advice appreciated,
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Usually, if the laptop does not start correctly in normal mode, but only in SafeMode because some drivers or / and software applications are false or defective.
  In this case, the recovery procedure should solve this problem.
  If you n t have the Toshiba Recovery CD, you can install from the original CD of Microsoft's operating system, and then you can try to install stuff together from Toshiba (driver, tools)
  These software, you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

• Satellite L50 - after Win10 touchpad upgrade does not

  Brand-new Satellite L50-C03E laptop pad touch does not work. Upgrade to Windows 10. Tried using all combinations of F5, FN & F5, don't hit to swipe and checking settings and nothing works.

  I guess you can use external USB mouse.
  Connect it to the laptop and uninstall the old touchpad software / driver for Windows 10 system. You should find it in Control Panel → programs and features.

  After the the touchpad driver has been removed, restart the laptop and win 10 updates.

  It would be very interesting to know if this solution allows you to get the touchpad working again.

  What kind of help do you expect?

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

  The laptop seems to be is not very old, and I think that the guarantee must be valid

• Satellite C55-A5310 - special function key does not

  I'm presenting the same report that I sent in support but repost it here in case where I do not get a useful solution.

  Yesterday, I reset my Toshiba Satellite C55 A5310 (Part #PSCF6U-0EF066 Serial #9D362065Q). It was the factory reset, then had 10 Windows reinstalled automatically. After the reboot, my special function keys were set back from the normal function of F1 - 12 and didn't find any way to change. Toshiba parameters have been removed after the reboot (not my fault), so I searched in my BIOS settings, but don't found no available keyboard option, then reinstalled the possible necessary drivers to change their back (Toshiba Service Station and HW Setup). HW installation provided the ability to use any special functions or default settings Fn, but after choosing special keys, apply and ok - nothing has changed. I ran the program as an administrator and still no change.

  Being only 16 years with only a basic understanding of the functions of the computer I please ask no simple solution not requiring any sort of 'hacking' or adjust the permissions (that made me in the first place) or editing the registry. I'm too scared to do it again and ruin all my laptop operating!

  There should be a special function key setting in the BIOS.

  Installation of HW is for Win7. Replaces the Toshiba system parameters, you need Toshiba system driver installed for it to work. It looks like you may have installed Win7/8 drivers/utils in Win10.

• Satellite L850 - special function key not working not properly

  Hello world

  I had Satellite L850 bite of windows 8 64 (pskg8a-07f001) running for only 2 months.
  Only within this week, the special function key does not work do not, whenever I start the pc, I have to go into toshiba assist office then the function key, and then click ok, it will work.

  But the touchpad has been defined as licence also under keyboard setting was defined as special function mode. But don't know why every time you start the pc must go in the function key box, and then click ok.

  When I bought everything is ok, I can use the special function key to turn, up and down the volume and disable wireless... etc.

  Please notify. Thks a lot!

  Have a look here:
  Function key change to Satellite and Qosmio 800 series
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2903E00000R01.htm

  You can use the traditional keys FN + F mode or just a F key mode.
  This can be enabled and disabled in the BIOS or the HWSetup

  In BIOS go to Advanced-> system-> the function mode button configuration
  This mode can be changed
  Also remember that the function button is activated too

• Microsoft Office S & T edition 2003 trial does not accept the product key

  The installer does not accept my product key. If I download the CD I'm going to lose all the information?

  What?
  Why do you want to use the OEM key from the recovery with Microsoft Office CD?

  To my knowledge Toshiba does not deliver laptops with Microsoft Office, but with only with OneNote.
  This isn't the same thing, and you cannot use OneNote key with MS Office software.

• MediaTek MT7630E 802.11bgn adapter Wi - Fi does not work in 802.11n mode (mode-N), only G-mode

  A few days ago, I got a new notebook HP ProBook 430 G1. OS: Windows 8.1

  They have Mediatek MT7630E 802.11bgn Wi - Fi adapter inside.

  Problem: I found this wireless adapter does not work in 802.11n mode (mode-N), but works well as in G-mode.

  Some modifications in the parameters of the driver on the Advanced tab are problem solved.

  I think it's a bug of material, or (less maybe) a bug in the driver.

  In other forums, I heard that HP can replace the card wireless, which works well. Is it not?

  You misunderstood me. I meant, of course, all channels from 1 to 13.

  I solved the problem by unistalling completely all the WiFi and software of the device with its drivers from Control Panel.

  Then downloaded latest drivers from site oficial Mediatek.

  In the Advanced tab of the new driver settings option appeared - "802.11n direct mode.

  After you enable this mode WiFi started working in mode N well.

• Auto focus does not work in the creative modes

  I use EOS 600 d for the past three years. I was and I am not able to auto focus in creative modes. I actually thought that there is no installation of the auto focus in creative modes. Only when I attended a workshop in Chennai yesterday, I got to know the automatic update facility is available in creative modes too.  I tried with three lenses and in all cases autofocus does not work in the creative modes only. In basic mode, it works well. I browsed the forum and found to RESET. How a reset should be done? Someone please explain. I can't find any updated firmware for 600 d.

  Thank you, Mr.Waddizzle. I did a reset according to your advice and now AF works in the creative modes also. Thank you.
