Toggle function key / FN permanent Satellite L50-C-20W - win 10

Hello

I recently bought a Satellite L50-C-20W with Windows 10. The default behavior of the function keys is functions like volume, toggle WiFi, etc.. \
To use F1, F2 etc we need to press the FN key. Very annoying when not used. Display dimming always when I want to change the field (F2).

How to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.
Theo

Hi Theo,.
beginning of > applications > TOSHIBA > system settings.
Select [function keys], here you will find the options [SPECIAL KEY MODE] and [KEY NORMAL MODE].
With NORMAL MODE KEY (F1 - F12), normal F1... F12 features are turned on without pressing the [FN] key first.

Pls don't mind if the appellation of the options is a little different, I translated, because I have an installation of the German system.

I hope I could help, Dieter

  • Satellite U920T - function keys does not work after update to Win 10

    Hello, good morning / evening...

    I use (U920T satellite) and recently updated my Windows 10 Tablet
    but after that, the function keys, volume, brightness, key FN and even the backlight does not work anymore!

    I tried to restore the system and update the driver software but nothing has worked...

    I use these keyboard shortcuts all the time and now it's really hard without them!

    What is the problem? What should I do?

    The problem is that U920T satellite is not listed as Win 10 support unit and, therefore, drivers earn 10 Toshiba and software that controls the FN keys is not released.
    But as far as I know using the FN keys, system of Toshiba and the Support of Flash Card Utility driver must be installed.

    For all Toshiba units win 10 supported, the drivers can be downloaded from this page:
    http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG

    Maybe you can try the drivers released for other models of portable Win 10 supported...
    I'm not sure if the software will be compatible with your model of U920T, but its certainly worth a try...

  • Function key stuck on - Satellite L25

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L25-S1215. I can't get the key to unlock. Tried to use the utilities, but no option to turn off the FN keys (I will never use them). Initially, laptop starts and I can't connect to windows, but after that, the function key will automatically turn on and will not be cut.

  • Brightness, function keys, WinXP and Satellite Pro A200

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro A200 (serial PSAE7E) with WIndows Vista and try to install Windows XP next.
    After hours of hunting for drivers (with moderate success) and try to install a XP in a privileged way (3rd partition main, 2nd is for Vista), I stopped.

    I am not able to get to work a function keys (keys, light, monitor, CPU frequency and wireless) XP. Under Vista, these keys only works when Toshiba Flash Cards application is running - when I turn this app, these keys are also unavailable (why?).

    I browsed a forum and found a few threads also wrote about this topics, update BIOS to version XP
    But I do not found answers to my questions:

    (* 1) * is a software (like FlashCards, but for XP) _Activer under XP system function keys? configuration: (Vista + XP + BIOS for Vista)

    (* 2) * if I install a BIOS XP version, what happens to my Vista system installed on my laptop? It stops stating, or function keys stop responding or even a different Components would be inaccessible?
    Someone has tested the configuration like this (Vista + XP + BIOS for XP)

    (* 3) * it is possible to Flash the BIOS to the version of Vista the XP version and still the version of Vista? (maybye I should Flash the BIOS before you start the system?)

    Currently I use the BIOS version 1.70 of Vista, Vista Toshiba Recovery DVD and XP SP2.

    Hi mate,

    long discussion, short answer:

    1. no it not there no software (no software officially released and taken in charge) that is available for XP on a Sat A200.

    2. your system will operate normally, only the behavior of the function keys on bios level will change. If you Flash the bios with the XP version that the function keys should be available under XP without any software.

    3 Yes, it s definitely possible to reflash the BIOS since many clients have machines with XP and want to use Vista (I never understand but hey..)

    I hope that every question has been answered.

  • Satellite L50-B-1XF - Win 7 64-bit drivers and software

    Hello

    as I can't find anything on my model - Satellite-L50-B-1XF (PSKTUE-04C00WGR), I'll try it here...

    I bought two of these (one for me, one for my wife) with installed Win8.1.

    Well well... no need to say that it is one of the worst OS I have ever seen and since Tru64 Unix and VMS, I've seen a lot.

    Anyway. I went down to Win7 Professional SP1 64-bit - full re-installed all updates installed, etc.

    Now, I have the problem that I can't find anything on the camera.
    Is there any support here page where I can download the appropriate drivers for Win764Bit specially for this model?

    Help here is appreciated!

    Hi Stuart

    The situation is quite simple and clear, then I really wonder that you were not able to find drivers, tools and utilities for your laptop model.

    For European laptops, you can download all the stuff on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    It is European support page to download the drivers. I found your model and your laptop model is fully supported for Win7 64 bit so you can find all the drivers, tools and utilities there.
    Please check and if there is a problem with the installation let us know

  • Function keys the P775 Satellite Program - 11 p don't work

    I recently Reinstalled Windows on my laptop due to Virus. As I did with mounting pilots saw that the Fn key and the keys don't work anymore. I was looking for the reason and discovered that some drivers would not install properly. Is it because I now have 32-bit instead of 64-bit?

    Is there a version for 32 bit? And the pilot who is the Fn key and Softkeys?

    Ch S

    > And the pilot who is the Fn key and Softkeys?
    You need to install additional package from Toshiba. This package contains several tools and utilities, and some of them are utility of Flash cards and Toshiba button support.

    It can be problematic if you will not be able to find the 32-bit version.

  • Function keys do not work on my Satellite C855 1GN

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C855-1GN, I received as a gift for Christmas.

    I just have it for all my college work, but I noticed my function keys changed round.
    Usually when I hold the FN, is for the f1 to f12 keys but suddenly it's the other way around and that's what the key is for example (brightness, etc.).

    Now it seems simple, but I found that not the case...

    I was in the BIOS and I checked the settings and changed them several times, but still the value of special function parameters, it does not work.

    I've been on the HWsetup and checked, but even once, even the special function value, it fails to work.
    I tried various keyboard shortcuts suggested by people because the key fn is 'locked' or however they described, but still I can't understand what has happened and how to restore it.

    I can't stand my laptop being that I just got used to it and use the other keys MUCH more than the F-keys.
    Please can someone help me?

  • Satellite L50 - B and Windows 7

    Hi guys

    just bought a new Satellite L50 - B with Win 8.1 installed. This is my 4th Toshiba since 2003.
    To be honest, I hate it.
    Please tell me what I can use my drive for win 7 L450-136 or I can have both.

    In General, recovery image is always designed for certain model of laptop computer with a certain hardware configuration.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Please check if you can change the settings on the special function key mode in the BIOS.
    Usually this option allows you to use the function keys without pressing the FN key.

    Play with this setting and don t forget to save the changes to the BIOS.

    Also ensure that the BIOS is already up-to-date and the VAP has been properly installed.

    I have a satellite Pro R50 - B preloaded with Win 7 Pro.
    On the bottom row of the keyboard the second key to the left is a FN key.
    Press and hold the FN button active the function keys on the top row.
    I think that's how its supposed to work.
    If you cannot use the function keys, it could be linked to the FN key.

  • Satellite A350-13 function keys a Windows 7 64 bit does not

    Hello
    I upgraded my new laptop Vista Win7 64 bit, however the function keys do not work and the function keys that display at the top when you press FN doesn't show any more. I installed the utility and value added package but without success. Any help is apperciated.

    Note to the Toshiba team:
    Why don't you pack all the necessary drivers and software in one package after their test, based on the model of the computer in my case Satellite A350-13, for example you could make a package for another Win7x64 to Win7x32, etc., instead of letting spend US days to understand what to install and where to find them and if it will work or not. Waiting for your comments.

    Concerning
    SAHM

    Hello

    You must install the Flash Cards in addition to the VAP support utility!
    The utility Flash card support are in the area of Satellite L500 driver for example.
    After installation if Flash card support the utility unit is restarted once more and then check the functionality.

  • S50-B-15N issues satellite keyboard/Trackpad / function key - win 10 improvement

    I bought a Satellite S50-B-15N a few months ago, who came with Windows 8.1 and decided to do the upgrade of Windows 10 about two months ago. Initially, the laptop worked well but in recent weeks, he had various issues with the keyboard, trackpad, and function keys.

    Keyboard: Sometimes the laptop starts up and the keyboard detects no input. A few reboots solves the problem. If I hold the BACKSPACE key to delete several characters as a single character is deleted on one-click Rollback, I can't keep him down quickly delete several words.

    Trackpad: The same for the keyboard sometimes at startup it works everything simply. I have to use the keyboard to access devices Manager where I must get back the driver trackpad for her to start working again at the next reboot.

    Function keys: All the keys of the row from the top on the laptop (brightness, volume, stock selection, etc.) do not work. I am able to hold the "FN" key and select an F key, like F5, but other keys are completely insensitive.

    I tried reading the forums for solutions and I went to the page of the driver of Toshiba and installed all the drivers for Windows 10 for my laptop, so far, nothing has worked. Is that what I can do to make the laptop works properly with Windows 10?

    I have a similar problem. I had the same Toshiba model and bought in August. Not sure when the new driver will be released. If anyone has an idea how to solve this problem?

  • Satellite L50-B-127 - some keys are not working and touchpad blocks constantly

    Before leave here an apology because I'm Portuguese and my English level is very low.

    My computer is a Toshiba Satellite L50 B 127

    Lately, I noticed some anomalies which appeared me on my computer (which should take about a year). When I speak of anomalies refer to the keys you use rarely, and at this stage do not work (example: arrow left, Z,...)
    Not to mention that I noticed that my touchpad is constantly blocking, that is to say after the buttons to work, the cursor does not move, being sometimes more than 20 seconds to wait for the cursor to return to normal.

    If anyone has had this problem or knows the cause and the solution? Recognizing a response as soon as possible

    Lately, I found some anomalies in my computer including some keys from one day to the other crashed, these keys are not widely used (arrow to the left, z, dash). In addition, my touchpad has been constantly block of minutes in minutes, even if the buttons on the touchpad still work, the truth is that the block cursor for a few seconds and then comes back to work as if nothing had happened. In 10 minutes, however this situation occurred four times
