• Display brightness with EliteBook 8460p function keys

  I'm having the same problem with my brand new 8460 p which was much discussed here: the brightness of the screen cannot be adjusted using the function (fn + F keys) then under Windows. In other threads, the problem has been resolved by installing the latest drivers for chipset (which was not provided by HP), but in these discussions, the computer was an earlier model. 8460p has the new QM67 express chipset and currently I use the latest drivers for it (according to the website of detection of intel).

  So, does anyone have a solution how I might be able to fix this annoying little problem?

  I'm running a new installation of Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit with all the latest drivers.

  Hello

  The FN keys are not directly related to the chipset. Try to reinstall the following driver: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 321957 & prodSeriesId = 5056942 & swItem = ob-96404-1 & prodNameId = 5056943 & swEnvOID = 4060 & swLang = 13 & taskId = 135 & mode = 3 .

  Also, install HP Support Assistant: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 321957 & prodSeriesId = 5056942 & prodNameId = 5056943 & swEnvOID = 4060 & swLang = 13 & mode = 2 & taskId = 135 & swItem = ob-97618-1 and check for updates.

• Function keys do not work

  My function keys do not work.  I can't even the keyboard of virtual function down most of the time.  Can someone give me some ideas as to what could be the problem?

  Because you forgot to tell us something on your computer, I can only speculate. First of all:

  The first Question of troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what has changed between the time things worked and the time they do not have?

  1. I guess it's a laptop, but of course I could be wrong. If my CrystalBall (tm) was cloudy and it comes to a desktop computer, try another keyboard.

  2 reinstall the keyboard drivers. If it is a laptop, you can find them in the computer Web site portable mftr.. Some manufacturers have specialized keyboard like QuickLaunch from HP and Dell Quick Set software that affects the function FN. Make sure that all of the utilities that are installed.

  3. maybe you have a keyboard with the lock function? Is Numlock on? This does not usually affect the FN keys, but it's worth a mention.

  4. If drivers/utilities are up-to-date, and it is a laptop, connect a USB external keyboard. If the problem disappears, with the computer laptop mftr. for a replacement keyboard.

  If this doesn't help not or you have any other questions:

  I use the SHIFT + F7 work much and would really appreciate help in getting up and running.

  Thank you

  Check if you have an F LOCK key in the top right of your keyboard.

  If this is not the case, try a system restore:

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  See you soon.

• Function keys not working only not with screen sharing

  Sierra running on all machines. Until the update, I would use on iMac 2014 screen sharing to access a Mac Mini 2011. Everything worked very well. However, after update, function keys no longer work through screen sharing. I confirmed the screen sharing is the problem, as functions correctly with Mini bluetooth keyboard, and also logging since MacBook Air gives the same problem from the iMac. It wasn't a problem during execution of El Capitan or even when I used Sierra Beta on iMac.

  Anyone has any suggestions or has met this themselves?

• Re: Function keys issue in Toshiba M50DA103 with Linux

  Hi all

  I bought this Toshiba M50DA103 to eventually eliminate the pre-installed Windows 8 and install my flavor of Linux on it instead. However, there is a problem annoying with the function keys, a problem that appeared after I installed Ubuntu Linux. The function keys appear to all foires (the key which is supposed to increase the brightness suspends the computer instead, and so on.)

  First of all, I thought that this could be a problem with Ubuntu only, but then I tried to boot Fedora, and the problem is always the same. That being said, it could be a matter of core, or a problem of hardware compatibility.

  Could you please give me some ideas on what I can do to fix it? In fact, I have discussed this matter with the Ubuntu forums guys, but could not reach a solution.

  Please help, if possible.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I tried to understand the situation of the hotkey and belive it works like this:

  The kernel has a certain driver, toshiba_acpi, who handles the events from the keyboard shortcut key.
  The driver is for a reason any confused about the layout of shortcut keys.
  I think that most of the distros uses the same driver for the kernel, so it won't do much good to exchange for another.

  You mention the unit suspended when it is supposed to reduce the brightness.
  This is how was the plu layout of Toshiba - FN + F3 = standby, hibernation = FN + F4.

  So what is happening is that the driver react the "old way".

  I reached out to the maintainer of the pilot to ask questions about how it works.
  Don't expect miracles or even any improvement at all.
  But if we are lucky, we can find the roommate of changes.

  MR PRESIDENT, I LOCKED UP MY HDD WD 320 GB WITH BIT LOCKER OF WINDOW 7. DUE TO SOME PROBLEMS, I CHANGED MY HARD DRIVE & FORMATTED OS WHERE I KEPT THE RECOVERY KEY. I COULDN'T REMEMBER MY PASSWORD AND RECOVERY KEY. I HAVE VALUABLE DATA in HDD. KINDLY HELP ME TO RECOVER DATA

  THANKING YOU.

  Sorry, the news is not good. Some time ago, you have chosen BitLocker because you want to protect your data against unauthorized access. If someone had told you that anyone can crack the encryption by asking a little help in this forum, would you have chosen BitLocker?

  BitLocker is as good as its reputation. Unless you followed best practices and created your own backdoor, your data is lost.

  Hi Kripananda,

  What is the brand and model of the computer?

  The function keys are controlled by the manufacturer of the system. The changes must be made in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System). I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the system to better support.

  Note: changes to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• Shortcuts with single letter keys can produce unexpected results. Why no function keys?

  Sometimes I start typing a reply, or by entering a key word to search without having to pay a lot of attention when the window focus is. If it's on the messaged pane, a few keystrokes can correspond to a single letter shortcuts, mess up the Inbox without noticing this immediately (for example a message archiving). It's very embarrassing.

  Why allow shortcuts without function keys?

  Because old-time pre - GUI users love shortcuts keyboard. They are effective.

  Watch the keyconfig extension if you want to disable or change the keyboard shortcuts.
