These keys Fn to eject the CD does not work

I have an Inspiron E1405 that I had to reinstall XP on and subsequently could not get the Fn keys to work.

I reinstalled Roxio Creator THE (Dell's Support thank you for the "Setup CD", which was not included in the package of the computer), hunted down the driver for the CD drive (not supported by the manufacturer, Philips) and the player works well. Plays music very well. Unfortunately, Dell in his infinite wisdom fails to send a comprehensive manual of operator/owner for the current crop of computers (or just reinstall CD), so I'm not sure what the 'Blue Fn' keys are all supposed to do or where the "engines" are supposed to be. I tried everything I could think of to get the "Fn + F10" to eject the CD, but to no avail... Anyone have any ideas?

This may sound stupid, but I spent way too much time to set up and reconfigure this laptop and I'm tired.

Thanks in advance...

    > Where could it find special XP BIOS?
    In my opinion, there is problem because most threads here are on the European laptop models. then come to question United States. Toshiba Europe and Toshiba U.S. do not work together and each of them is responsible for own models and provide support for specific country notebooks models.

    For most models, so here in Europe Toshiba has offered two BIOS. We were already on the delivered Vista laptops. The Toshiba page download available BIOS for Windows XP Home edition. in most cases, it was version 5. XX and this BIOS was designed to support public services and specific tools of Toshiba. For example, all the FN key features was only available with this BIOS WXP.

  • The mouse does not work on my new Satellite L750/L755

    Hello world

    I bought a toshiba Satellite L750/L755 but the mouse does not work, I have no control on it that if I use an external mouse, while I have put pressure on the touchpad.
    I tried the following options:
    I updated the driver - I changed the operating system

    but nothing, still the same problem. Next laptop will be a Mac for sure.

    I look forward to hear from you

    Daniele

    Hello Daniele

    It's really strange that the touchpad does not work even if you have installed the right driver and installed the operating system again. At the first moment, we can say there is probably a hardware problem, but please be sure touchpad is listed in the Device Manager and also active correctly (FN keys).

    Check it please all the properties of the mouse.

  • Satellite P850-30W - the fan does not work after returning from the mode "Eve"

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P850 30W with bios 1.90.

    Sometimes the fan does not work at all after back mode standby on windows 7.
    What happened twice (perhaps several times without knowing me), and Ive had the computers for a month.

    Normally the fan starts to run when the CPU gets more than 50 degrees celsius and stops less than 50 celisus...

    I tried running Prime95 when this fan-this occurs and the time of the computer got dangerously high (near 100 degrees)! the fan did not start at all
    .. .This error could damage the laptop potentinally...
    to get the fan turns once again I have to restart windows

    anyone experienced this?
    I guess that the fix would be to never use standby... or toshiba needs to fix it with an update of the bios.

    > Sometimes the fan does not work at all after back mode standby on windows 7.
    > What has happened twice (perhaps several times without knowing me), and Ive had the computers for a month.

    You said it's happened twice and only sometimes done this means that above all the fans are working well?
    In this case, this would mean that it of difficult to reproduce this problem, but you might be right: maybe a BIOS update would help solve this problem permanently

    I found some discussions on the stand-by mode and fan activity and in most cases, the update of the BIOS was the key.

    If not, you could try to go on the site of HP and DOWNLOAD/reinstall assistance the SW for the touch pad.

  • CD drive does not open and the light does not work

    original title: single CD player problem

    The problem with my CD player seems to be unique I can't find an answer, or someone else with the same problem online.

    My computer is custom built, the CD player lasted me 1.5 years no problem, not until one day I realize, it does not open and the light does not work on it, I ordered a new drive and installed that one, still does not work. so, I replaced the SATA cable which connects to the motherboard, still does not.

    When I go to my computer the drive appears but when I right click > eject it says: "year error occurred while ejecting CD drive D".  It also appears in devices such as SCSI CdRom Device Manager but I am not sure if it's actually my CD player.

    I also tried troubleshooting http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cd_dvd_drive_problems and no solution.

    WTFFF ideas? I really hope that its not the motherboard

    There are two cables you need to connect to the drive, one for data and one for power.  You must connect both training at work.  If you only have the data cable is plugged and not cable power which would be a possible cause of the problem that you see.

    "Ryanb1290" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

    Sorry, im just of knowledge about computer hardware.  you say that I should try a different agreement or another port to plug in?

    I tried to connect on a couple different SATA ports on the motherboard.
