  • E545 and Function key not working

    Any help here is apprecited. My function (Fn) key is refusing to work at all. None of the special features are able to be used. I've checked all my drivers, and followed the instructions in the User Guide, but some of the options described in the guide are even showing on my computer.
    I'd love for some help on this issue, as the computer is pretty worthless right now.

  • Satellite L850 - Special function key not working properly

    Hi Everyone,
    I had Satellite L850 (pskg8a-07f001) running windows 8 64 bite for just 2 months.
    Just within this week, the special function key not working, each time I start the pc, i have to go into toshiba desktop assist then function key then click ok, it will working.
    But the touch pad has been set as enabled, also under keyboard setting has been set as special function mode. But don't know why each time start the pc have to go into function key box then click ok.
    When I bought it everything is ok, i can use the special function key to turn up and down the volume and disable wireless...etc
    Please advise. Thks a lot!

    Take a look here:
    Function key changes in Satellite and Qosmio 800 series
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2903E00000R01.htm
    You can use the traditional FN + F key mode or just an F key mode.
    This can be enabled and disabled in BIOS or the HWSetup
    In BIOS go to Advanced -> System configuration -> Function key mode
    This mode can be changed
    Also be sure that Function Button option is enabled too

  • Windows 7 Brightness and Function key not Working Properly

    i have HP 15-af024AU APU Quad Core A8-7410 - (4 GB DDR3,1 TB HDD) Noteboook and it  came with windows 8.1 preinstalled than i installed windows 7 ultimate.
    i have problem in Display Brightness i am not able to change Brightness by function key or by manually from windows settings.
    2. my Function key are not working properly . all key are fliped whiout holding function key it work as function key. 3. bluetooth is not working when i search for new device not able to find any available discouable bluetooth device. 4. wireless button software is not wokring in windows 7 i already updated my bios that available in drivers support and install alll drivers too properly so please give proper drivers for windows 7 for this product that works perfect.

    Sorry that driver didn't work. You can try this graphics driver and if that doesn't work, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you with that issue. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp71253.exe As far as the Fn keys being 'flipped,' I have no idea what you mean by that, or what to do about it. Did you install the software that controls the funtion keys? This package contains the HP System Event Utility, which enables special function keys on supported notebook models to be programmed. For example, HP System Event Utility enables users to press the Fn+ESC keys to view system information. This software works with the supported operating systems. File name: sp71156.exe

  • Toshiba Satellite C850-F12S Function Keys not working

    I recently formatted my laptop after the OS was corrupted by a virus and reinstalled windows 7 but now my Function keys that enable me to adjust brightness, volume and turn on wireless are not functioning, They only work when in BIOS setup and even when I tried to enable them to be standard F1-12 or special function keys they still dont work after starting windows. This computer has no flash cards for toshiba and i dont know which drivers to look for for this specific model. I also lost toshiba eco-utility and its player. How do i get all this back without losing my data?I have partitioned my hard disk.

    Hi Eldorado
    Thanks for your suggestion. Have done as you said but still have the problem.
    I've managed to get rid of the TouchED error dialogue by uninstalling the Touchpad on/off utility, but I can't get the function keys to work again. The problem appears to be that the Common Modules drivers are not reinstalling properly - the software (thotkey.exe) that operates these has to be within this. I have tried extracting the cab files for the Common Modules but nothing with let me into Toshiba's cab files to see if they are there so that I can copy them across manually.
    I can live without the function keys on my machine, but this is a pain - especially when I'm sure the problem has a simple solution.
    Cheers
    David

  • ITunes Media Function Keys Not Working

    So I picked up a new MacBook Pro Retina 13" a week or so ago, and it's going great so far, except for one thing. It seems that the Media function keys aren't working in iTunes?
    I checked under the keyboard preferences to ensure the "standard function" keys box wasn't checked, and it wasn't. All the other functions keys are working properly except the back, play/pause, and skip keys. I tested the keys with other functions, such as setting a shortcut to the F8 key, and it recognized the input, so its not a hardware issue.
    I tried to find help elsewhere, but most people seemingly just had that box in the settings checked, which wasn't the problem for me it seems.
    Any suggestions?

    Hey guys,
    I see that most of you are having a issue with the function keys.
    Try this- http://goo.gl/gdlS3?
    This is a hotfix for this issue. Now keep in mind this only supports
    Windows 7 Enterprise
    Windows 7 Home Basic
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Windows 7 Professional
    Windows 7 Starter
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    So if you don't have this, then don't run this fix.
    Also, If you guys can give me your product # and complete model name of the notebook you have, so I can send you a link to update your BIOS.
    Here is a link to show you how to find your product #- http://goo.gl/vYKya

    Thank you for your help, but another person had already answered me. =]
    After I re-installed the keyboard drivers, the "fn + " keys became functional again. The driver i installed was "HP Quick Launch Buttons" or just "sp49456" if you want to know.
    Thank you for your help, I am very pleased with it.

  • Wireless Keyboard Function Keys Not Working

    I recently bought a wireless keyboard and am using it with an iMac running 10.5.8.
    The function keys don't work, for example F12 brings up Dashboard instead of increasing the volume, F8 brings up Spaces etc.
    I've unticked "Use all F1, F2 etc. keys as standard function keys" and have tried installing the Mighty Mouse update and Wirless Keyboard update 2.0 to no avail.
    Any help in fixing the issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I have the exact same issue: I'm running OSX 10.5.8 and the "Apple Wireless Keyboard Update 2.0" does not resolve my problem with the "fn" key. The "fn" key simply does not work. For example I cannot adjust volume regardless of whether or not this key is pressed. Also, I cannot perform a "del" action, which is normally "fn" + "delete" keys combined. The "delete" key only performs backspace action, whether or not my "fn" key is pressed.
    I have tried removing the keyboard from the bluetooth devices and adding it again to no avail. I also tried deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist in the preferences folder, rebooting, adding the keyboard, and finally installing the 2.0 update. Still no difference; the keyboard gets recognized properly, but the "fn" key does not work.
    This is driving me nuts, any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Sandro

  • FN function keys not working on dv7-3188cl

    I recently formatted my laptop to windows 7 ultimate and since then can not get my function keys to work.
    I've reinstalled drivers that I thought might work and nothing.
    When I could no longer adjust my brightness is when I noticed that my function keys were not working. Is there any other way to adjust the brightness on my laptop besides the function keys? If so I have not figured it out.
    This question was solved.

    The Function keys will not all work properly on 10.5.8, all the other keys will be fine.  The previous model MB110LL/A would work with all the Function keys on Leopard or Snow Leopard.

  • Function Keys Not Working Regardless of "Use all f1.." Being Checked or Unchecked

    Hi
    If someone could help me I'd be really appreciative. I recently got some parts repaired by apple, the trackpad was replaced and a small wire replaced too which was to do with the keyboard connection. Since getting my macbook air back everything works fine except my function keys don't work. When the "Use F1, F2 etc ... as standard function keys" is checked the only function keys that work are f11 and f12 as they should as these are the only shortcuts set up to show desktop and show dashboard, respectively. However when I come to uncheck "Use F1, F2 etc ... as standard function keys" noting appears to happen the f11 and f12 act no differently as when it was checked and the rest of the function keys remain unresponsive.
    Trying to press the keys with the Fn key pressed also makes no difference.
    Thanks for reading
    Oli

    It looks like a faulty repair. You should take it back to Apple and have it redone.

  • Function Key not work when using jre1.5

    My application was based on JDK1.3 to develop and JRE 1.3 is using in the client side.
    In the application, function keys are the shortcut and it is working fine based on the above setting.
    Since JRE 1.5 is encouraged to be used in the future, we try to use it to run our application. But we find that all function keys are not working.

    The supported Software in iPlanet's Portal Server is JDK/JRE 1.2.2_07 and JDK 1.2.2_09(in SP4). Starting with JDK1.3.1_01, applets are handled somewhat differently. Enable Java and look at the error messages in Java Console to find why the Netlet is not loading in JDK1.3.1_02. The issue might be with two JRE's or with your cache setting. Hope this helps you.

  • F8 Function Key Not Working In DreamWeaver

    No response in the Adobe DreamWeaver forum, so here goes...
    The F8 function key used to bring up the Files window in DreamWeaver on previous Mac machines, but I'm trying to figure out why it won't on a new installation of Adobe CS3 on a brand new Mac G5, running Leopard 10.5.4. All updates have been downloaded and installed for either the OS or CS3.
    On this particular keyboard the F8 key is also PLAY/PAUSE button, if that means anything.
    What have I missed? I use this hot key all the time, and now it won't work on this new machine.
    Thanks.

    However...same question but not resolved...I am using a logitech keyboard plugged into my laptop - and it doesn't HAVE an fn key.
    I didn't have a problem until I installed Leopard, and now f8 = spaces.
    Any ideas? I use Dreamweaver a lot and quick access to the files window is essential
    thanks!

  • HP Pavilion tx2500z - Default Function Keys not working

    I have a HP Pavilion tx2500z (model: KD436AV) laptop with Windows 7 64 bit OS installed. Since last few months, I am not able to use default function keys (F1, F2...F12) and other keys at the top row of the keyboard, including Pg Up, Pg Down, Home, End, Insert, Delete. However, all the Action Keys available on these keys are working without pressing Fn Key (e.g. Sleep, Brightness, num lock etc). I get same Action Key behaviour even after pressing Fn Key.
    It looks like, somehow system is locked in action key mode and I am not able to come out of it. I tried to upgrade Bios (currently on latest F.0F version) and also tried to disable the Action Key mode in BIOS, but Action Key mode is not available in BIOS of this computer. Even to enter BIOS, I faced problem because F10 key was not working to enter BIOS setup. I had to connect external keyboard to enter BIOS.
    I am disperately looking for help to come out of this situation. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    An idea for you would be to test the keyboard in a different enviroment ro see if it's hardware or not.
    We can check the keys by booting into the recovery partition and opening a command prompt.
    Power down notebook
    Press power button then tap F11 until the screen says recovery at the bottom left or says Windows is Loading files. If it shows a different menu on your screen you may have press it too late or continues to load Windows you may have an issue w/ the partition.
    Next when it loads into the menu choose an option so the program is slected. I select "System Recovery" then at the next menu press FN+SHIFT+D
    At the commpand prompt window that pops up test the keys w/ issues.
    I am an HP employee.
    Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer “Accept as Solution” if it solves your problem.

  • MacBook ('08) function keys not working (volume, etc) XP SP3, Bootcamp 2.1

    I had Windows XP (SP3) installed and running nicely on a partition on the old MacBook, and what I've now done is simply swapped that whole hard drive from the old MacBook to the new one. OSX (10.5) runs just fine, but Windows is giving me issues. I successfully reactivated Windows, and then did a repair installation from my original WinXP install disc, which took Windows back to Service Pack 2. I used the OSX install DVD that came with the new MacBook to install the Boot Camp Windows drivers (version 2.0), and then downloaded and ran the Boot Camp 2.1 update, and then upgraded to WinXP Service Pack 3.
    The trackpad on the new MacBook is working in Windows, as is MOST of the keyboard. Only the function keys aren't working (brightness, volume, eject, etc.). I've tried using them both with and without holding down the "fn" key in the bottom-left of the keyboard, and both with and without the setting checked (in Windows Boot Camp prefs) for using the function keys for hardware purposes.
    I can't help but think that the problem arises form the different layouts of the 2006 MacBook and the 2008 MacBook. The 2006 model used the F3, F4, and F5 keys for volume (mute, decrease, increase), while the 2008 model uses F10, F11, and F12.
    When I look under Add/Remove programs in Windows, I see that there are still old Apple drivers for keyboard and other devices. I see versions of the drivers going back to 1.x, and also 2.0 and 2.1.
    In efforts to start afresh, I've tried using both the Boot Camp 2.1 Updater and my 2008 MacBook Install DVD (which has Boot Camp 2.0) to remove Boot Camp from Windows, but neither seem to really do the trick in terms of really removing all the Boot Camp components and drivers, and reinstalling the Boot Camp drivers doesn't get the keyboard function keys working.
    I've tried everything I can think of (short of erasing the partition and starting with a fresh install of WinXP, which is NOT an option). Is there some way to remove the old (or all) Apple drivers in order to install Boot Camp components anew? Or would that even get the keyboard working anyway? Any other ideas at solving this problem? Thanks very much.

    AHA!!!! FIXED IT!!!
    Found another forum post here:

    And that reminded me that the little Boot Camp grey diamond icon wasn't appearing in the tray like it should. I found KbdMgr.exe and tried to open it, but got an error. So I deleted it and did repair/update from Boot Camp 2.1 Updater, rebooted, and now KbdMgr.exe is running, the icon is in the tray, and the function keys (volume, brightness, etc) are working! Hooray!!
    So in conclusion, this problem may not have been due to the different keyboard layouts, but could've been something about SP3 & BootCamp 2.1. Maybe. Who knows. I'm just happy I've got it working.
