TouchSmart HP Envy 15-q178ca fn key does not

The fn on my brand new hp envy touchsmart 15-q178ca does not work, and I can't controll brightness and volume with it. No idea why?

It solved! Apparently, you have to press CTRL + fn to use the keys f1-12.

    Hello

    You laptop has Intel/Nvidia switchable graphics and search RTA the screenshot, it does not resemble the driver Intel is installed.

    Try the following.

    Download driver Intel HD Graphics on the following link and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp72501-73000/sp72810.exe

    Once complete, download and reinstall the Chipset driver from the link below.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp72001-72500/sp72043.exe

    When it's over, don't reboot not the laptop that you are prompted, rather open your download folder, right-click on the Intel HD Graphics package and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.

    Once this done, reboot the laptop and let Windows load completely for a few minutes before checking.

  • Satellite M70 - 181 - slider and escape key does not

    FN with F10 keys shows no reaction.
    Check all the drivers.
    But cursor and escape keys does not.
    Need help please

    Joe

    As far as I know, FN + F10 or FN + F11 active integrated keyboard and cursor control keys.

    Satellite M70 is a fairly old machine and I do not remember which driver may be responsible for this control. Try to reinstall the Toshiba Accessibility or FN-esse utility. Maybe this will help.

    I had M70 long ago, but I've never used this option.

    Hey Buddy,

    Have you reinstalled as Flash Cards Support utility? The FN keys to both tool and value added package.

    Again, you should check the site Web of Toshiba Flash Cards Support utility:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads

    So uninstall old utility Support Flash Cards and then install the latest version of it.

  • Portege R700 - Touch Pad, ecoUtility and presentation of the key does not

    Hello

    I got a Portege R700 with Windows 7 64 bit.
    This machine starts very slowly after the log in user mode only.
    The system is waiting for 1 to 2 Minutes before you can work. In administrator mode erverything is fine and fast.

    Thus our directors thought it might be the Toshiba Software and a lot has been disabled or uninstalled.
    Because this did not help and because I thought that it migt be cause of Kaspersky, I started to reinstalled and update the software from Toshiba. Most of it works now. Shortcut keys does not work, then I start TfcRst.exe via autostart now, even he would somehow it would be better in 'systemecommencent '.

    But still some keys do not work. The Tablet touch power switch, just above the touch pad does not work.
    The Fn F9 works. And the two keys to the right upper corner (ecoUtility/off button and the presentation-Key) do not work. In all three major, I get a pop up saying "this function not taken in charge.

    Anyone has any idea of this?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Why you n t try to restore the operating system back to the same state until the administrator has removed or uninstalled the Toshiba Software?

    Generally speaking the VAP (value added package) controls the multimedia keys.
    Also the FN keys require the VAP and Flash memory card Support utility.

  • FN key does not work on the satellite L745

    yesterday, I uninstall almost all toshiba prog and then my FN key does not work!
    Please help me this laptop is only a week

    Hello

    Install the VAP (value added package) and reboot the laptop.

    Then install the Support Flash Card utility and reboot once more.
    Then test the Fn keys.

    The buttons are controlled by Flash cards, so you should be able to use the buttons after a new installation of this app.

  • Portege 3500: FN key does not work

    the FN key is not working and when you start get the recovery of the thotkey failed

    What function of the FN key doesn't work?
    If the switch show FN + F5 n t work buttons you need to install utility for display devices access keys. If the wireless shortcut key does not work, you need to install Wireless hotkey.
    As you can see, different applications and drivers are required to use different Fn keys.

    But common modules must be installed always, because this driver is important for every application from Toshiba. Also, be sure to reinstall the utilities.
    Visit the Toshiba for the necessary drivers.

  • The internal keyboard BACKSPACE key does not work

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite and the BACKSPACE key does not work.

    He will start work the rare opportunity, but then it just stops working again.
    This happens on everything, including word and internet ect.

    It has been like that for a few weeks now and I turned the laptop and turn off many times.
    Is there a way to fix it myself or I send for repair?

    Please, * don't * tell me:
    Get an external keyboard
    Try it turn on and off
    Just highlight the words and use the delete key - it's annoying to have to do this all the time
    Type carefully and do not make so many mistakes

    Thank you!

    > Please, don't tell me not to:
    > Get an external keyboard

    And why shouldn't t someone recommends you to check the functionality using the external keyboard?

    It s recommended to connect an external keyboard to verify how the BACKSPACE key would work using 2nd external keyboard. In case the back might work properly using USB keyboard, the question is very clear; in such cases its main shortcomings. The key cannot be replaced or changed or fixed. In this case, need to replace the entire keyboard!

    In case the BACKSPACE key does not even using the external keyboard, then this would mean that the internal keyboard controller is faulty and in this case only the replacement motherboard would be useful.

    But to be honest, I think that its simple keyboard failure and a replacement would solve this.
