Custom BIOS request: GT60-20C - swap Fn and Windows key

Hi.  Just got myself a brand new GT60-20C, and the lack of a left Windows key is driving me nuts.  Sounds like you can mod a BIOS that would swap the left Fn and right Windows keys.  If you can do that, I'd greatly appreciate it.
System details:
Mainboard: MS-16F4
Mainboard version: REV:0.C
BIOS version: E16F4IMS.506
BIOS date: 05/22/2013
Please let me know if there's anything else you need to do this.
Thanks!

oki, i can start work over it once donation is received: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=134259.0
and will send back to you when its done
EDIT: Received it, working on it

    hi,
    I was redirected from this topic https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=139362.0
    Apparently there is no BIOS function in GX740 for the owner to swap Fn and Ctrl key.
    Really appreciate it if it's available.
    Thanks.

    Is it possible to add keys that are not present in the current layout (F7 F8 F9 don't have any modifier keys and I think it would be nice to have fn+F7=previous, fn+F8=play/pause and fn+F9=next)?
    yes eventually, have to check & work on that

  • Start, Charms and Windows Key stopped working in Windows 8.1

    I have read these forums about getting the Start button and Charms back by hitting Win-C.  But that doesn't even work on mine. This started just Feb 2 when I downloaded the Windows updates sent out that day for Microsoft .NET4.5.2.  I have uninstalled
    that update.  At least that stopped the error message I was getting about Microsoft .NET Framework unhandled exception.  But my start, charms, and windows key on my keyboard remain unusable.  Any help?
    Thanks,
    Kelly M

    Hi Kelly,
    What is your current situation?
    Have you tried to restart Windows Explorer through task manager?
    If the above is still not going to work. Run the following command:
    SFC /ScanNow;
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth;
    Also check if you have any hardware driver update recently. Check at the manufactuer side and see if they could offer any helpful information.
    Further, could you please have a share wit hthe update KB number, I will perform a test with that update.
    Best regards

  • Custom BIOS for GT60-ONC

    Hi, is it possible to have an unlocked BIOS for GT60 ONC that allow CPU and DRAM tuning ?
    Basically I would a BIOS that allow the same things that on desktop motherboard, dram timing, frequency adjustment, CPU frequency and things like vt-x or hyper-threading activation.
    Also is there some features that can be tuned on the VGA card from BIOS ?
    I read on a post that you have a custom EC that handle better fans, is it possible to have it also ?
    Right now I have :
    EC : 16F3EMS1_T16
    BIOS : E16F3IMS.10U

    only for onboard GPU, not for dedicated/discrete nvidia card.

  • Custom bios request A6000-030US

    To Svet and any others...  I have a MSI A6000-030US laptop that has just left teh warranty period and I would like to take a chance at the OC'ing of the laptop and also upgrading the Intel CPU from the factory one - Core 2 Duo T6600 to either the T9600 or P8700 or any other chip that will do a better job at running multiple types of jobs/tasks, including Autocad, video editing, gaming and Dual-booting different Os'es.
    there had been a listing in the past for a special bios patching in the past but for an A5000 series unit ith the Intel Celeron.   I am hoping to push this laptop and just see just how far it may go, of course within its limits.
    Any and all suggestions and help are greatly appreciated.

    you need custom bios to allow OC or?

  • MSI GE620 Custom BIOS request

    HI,
    I wanna use GE620 laptop for music recording and thus I need to get the lowest DPC latency possible. The original latest BIOS 10F offers very poor options to change anything.
    I would like to have just as "editable" BIOS as we get on desktops - disable/enable on board Intel HD Graphics, RAM, CPU management.
    What do you think? Is it worth having custom BIOS in order to get the lowest DPC lat. available?
    Is there any other way to disable Intel HD graphic and have only Nvidia Geforce GT540M running?
    thanks
    Marek

    Not to necropost, but Svet, if you are still around, you mentioned that disabling the onboard intel video would cause the system to not boot.
    Could this then point to issues with the onboard intel video chipset in regards to the GE620 not displaying anything at power on at times?
    Nope, just the signal is passed to dedicated one, in 99%[maybe in 100%] in notebooks.
    I.e. dedicated must works OK, to be able to see anything

  • Want to swap FN and CONTROL keys: Hope of BIOS support?

    I hate the Lenovo placement of the FN key where most systems have Control.  I've experimented with operating system changes to remap keys, but these have failed. In the Ubuntu Linux email list, people contend the swap of the FN and Control must be made in the BIOS because of the way the FN key functions.
    If you know of a software method to swap the FN and CONTROL keys, please tell me.
    If you have any information about using the BIOS to do that, please tell me.
    PJ

    Welcome to the forum!
    Although enabling this swap in BIOS has been a wish expressed by many new users coming to the ThinkPad world, no BIOS currently supports it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Newbie: swap fn and ctrl keys on T60

    I bought a used T60.  I am used to using HP Pavilions where the Fn and Ctrl keys are in the opposite positions as on the T60, and I am having trouble retriaining my fingers.
    So i looked for info about how to swap them.  I understand KeyTweak doesn't work on the Fn key, and then I ran across a message about getting to the BIOS.
    I have never messed with BIOS stuff before, but I did interrupt booting, get to it, but do not see swapping the Fn and Ctrl keys listed among the keyboard options.  So I am guessing this feature is maybe in a newer verison of the BIOS.
    I don't want to trash my laptop, but I'd like to swap the functioning of these keys - is there an idiotproof way?
    Also, I used the onetouch Pavilion keys a lot to invoke Firefox or thunderbird.  Is there a way to make a key on the T60 keyboard do that?  There are several keys I never use for anything, like PgUp, etc.
    Thanks.

    Not exactly true. You can't swap the keys with ORIGINAL BIOS - there are modded versions available that will let you do it.

  • Swapping Function and Control keys on a Lenovo Laptop

    Lenovo laptops reverse the usual positions of the Function and Control keys (see this photo). It seems like a minor problem, but it is very frustrating.
    How can I swap these keys? I have tried various xmodmap configurations (some based on the examples provided in the manual and some based on this eerily similar question), but nothing seems to work.
    Additional information
    Fn keycode: 151, Fn name: XF86WakeUp
    Left Control keycode: 37, Left Control name: Control_L
    Thanks in advance, best community ever.
