[GX740] Request: Swap FN/CTRL buttons

I know, you'll need a donation. But with all respect, isn't paying 1100+ euro for the laptop itself more than enough already?
Before I'm giving my version information I would like to have an answer on the above question. Don't call me greedy please.

Okay, we've got a winner.
I will post my BIOS information soon, after I get my PayPal information straight. What kind of donation do you expect? Something low like 1 dollar, or something like 10+ dollar? What is acceptable for you, because donating only 0,50 dollar would be lame pretty much.

It's down to you and your potential. Higher is better for me.

    can you double check your BIOS version?
    this 5.04 don't make sense.
    Also run >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< then when main screen appear click exit.
    then open MSIHQ_INFO.TXT located in your desktop and paste info here.
    what about GPU core and memory freq?
    Here is the report of msihq, the bios version is the same that i read in the bios setup, i dont know if someting is bad or this bios has been flashed before, really i dont know.

    Hi Svet,
    I've flashed my laptop with your files, powered down my laptop, loaded the BIOS defaults and the swap works. Thanks!
    However, my laptop is experiencing a side effect.
    When I plug in a USB external harddisk, I hear a sound prompt and the "Safely Remove Hardware" indicates an exteral drive but thats it. The Autorun dialog doesn't show up and the disk is not visible under "My Computer". I've tried different external harddisks and a different USB port on the laptop but it still doesnt work. A smaller USB thumbdrive works however (as does my USB mouse). Is there an issue with the electrical output of the USB ports i.e. its being reduced to a point where larger devices cannot be recognized?
    Any advice?

    Can the BIOS detect the drive? Could be OS related.
    Do you have some sort of USB adaptor used?
    Check it in "disk management" from control panel, see if its listed there.
    Also does they are recognized when you put them in another machine?

  • I need an option to remap reprogram or swap the ctrl and function keys on my laptop

    Open letter to Lenovo
    How many Lenovo laptop users does it take to get a change or option added to remap, reassign, reprogram or swap the two keys on the lower left of the keybards with each other? 
    The number one question I'm asked (and the first question I asked of a lenovo laptop user) was how long did it take to get used to the function key being in the wrong place on the keyboard?  I did a search on the web and found a number of threads that discussed and talked about if it were possible to switch those two keys on the keyboard such as this: http://www.ashbaughonline.com/2006/08/12/thinkpad-fn-ctrl-key/   The point being is there are many lenovo laptop users that would love to have the option at least of swapping the function and ctrl key location on the keyboard and we wouldn't even complain that the key names were wrong afterwards if it were made available in some BIOS or other configuration setting.
    Lenovo, how many users would need to ask for this option to make it happen?
    Please add me to those who would like to see this happen and to anyone else please reply and chime in.

    I have the same problem, and I really can't understand why do they do such things! I even can't get a normal answer from Lenovo about it. I like Thinkpads, they are great designed & they have a lot of unique features, most of them could be customized, exept this! Why??? I can't belive that it's so hard to remap 2 buttons using BIOS! The problem is that the FN key doesn't generate a scan code, which could be recognized by the software, i tried numerous programs to remap the FN button, but it's useless. You can do it only in 2 ways: 1. mechanical - to swap them fisically, but it's hard, dangerous & the warranty will be lost of course. 2. BIOS remapping which can be done only by Lenovo or maybe by somobody, who can hack the BIOS. So, Dear Lenovo Experts PLEASE do this feature for us, we REALLY neeed it! We need it much more than "keyboard customizer", more than "easy eject", more than "media center" becouse we use the left CTRL button every minute, working on your notebook!

  • Why do I need to press the CTRL-button to view my extra options in the tool panel?

    strange!
    all of the sudden, I don't get my extra tools in the tool bar (left) when I hit the black traingle in the right bottom corner.
    It appears to be the same problem in ALL my CS4 programs.
    I thought there was a conflict with my system OS X 10.6.2.
    but after searching for days, I see that the extra options in the fly out menu become visible when I hold the CTRL-button and click on the black traingle.
    any idea what has happened here?
    karien (belgium)

    thanks michael for replying,
    but I didn't need to do that in the recent past!
    when I simply clicked on the triangle, all the other options become visible. now, when I only click, nothing becomes visible!
    now I need to click using the CTRL-button at the same time.
    what has changed here?
    I phoned my collegue. he doesn't need to use the ctrl-button either...
    what did I miss???
    greetings

  • Why does ctrl + "button" stops working?

    Hello peeps,
    I'm having some trouble using ctrl + "any button" in illustrator CS6 (v. 16.0.2 64-bit) with windows 7. I'm not sure how or why it stops working but I usually go on with my normal job and all of a sudden ctrl-commands stops working. (I will try to look into exactly when it happens and get back to here) I can't use ctrl+c, ctrl+v or even ctrl+n for a new document. Alt-commands such as alt+drag and drop with left mouse button to copy still works. I try to reboot illustrator but it's the same thing, ctrl-button doesn't work. I
    All ctrl-commands (and just the ctrl-button in general) works well in windows and in my browser (firefox).
    Things I've tried but with no success...
    - Re-plugging my keyboard
    - Looked over settings for short commands (they're set to standard)
    - Reboot illustrator
    - Killed illustrator.exe through "ctrl+alt+del"
    Things I've tried with success...
    - Restarting the computer makes ctrl-button work again
    However, if I open a saved document (pdf or ai) ctrl-commands all of a sudden works.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! /Fredrik

  • [BIOS Bug] Enabling Fn/Ctrl swap breaks [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[Up]

    Hello all!
    I'm very used to the standard keyboard layout, where the ctrl key is on the very left. Therefore I enabled the Swap Fn/Ctrl key option in the BIOS of my Lenovo Edge 11 AMD (2545A12, Bios 1.08).
    Unfortunately this has the effect, that a very specific key combination is no longer working: Ctrl+Alt+Up
    Ctrl-Alt-Down/Left/Right keep working as ususal. The problem does not happen with disabled key swap option.
    This clearly seems to be a bug to me. Any hints on how to receive a fix?
    Thanks & Regards
    - Ben

    I doubt this is a software/Linux problem. Same effect here under Fedora 15/Gnome: There this key combination is the essential as the desktop is only vertically oriented.
    Can anybody try to assign this key combination in Windows, enable Fn/Ctrl swap and report if he shares the problem there?

    Can you post back with the following.
    1.  The full Model No. and Product No. of your g6 series notebook - see Here for a guide on locating this information.
    2.  The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 64bit ).
    3.  Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand DVD/CD-ROM Drives and select the General tab - is there an error code showing in the 'Device status' box and if so, what is it?

  • Qosmio x300-130 - ctrl-buttons won't work anymore

    Hello everyone
    Im having some problems with my ctrl-buttons. They simply won't work anymore, they used to but slowly they became unstable and now they won't work at all.
    So now I ask you if there is any way to solve this problem without sending the computer to repairs.
    My computer is a Qosmio x300-130 and I have had it for about two months.

    Hello
    It is really strange issue with those CTRL buttons functionality. Googling around I found several forums where people report about this. Unfortunately nobody has explanation why this happen.
    I use Vista and WXP SP3 on my Satellite Pro P300 and until now everything works properly.
    I can just imagine some Microsoft update is responsible for this. Try to roll back OS to earlier time using system restore tool.
    Please post results.
    Lets see if someone else has other advice.

  • Request U100 BIOS with swapped Fn & Ctrl

    Hi there.
    I am looking for the latest BIOS for MSi U100 but which includes the Fn Ctrl keys swap.
    I've found it here but the topic is closed.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=121232.0
    Can someone help me ?
    Regards.

    I'm using Linux Fedora on which I can not control brightness using Fn+F4/F5. I've tested Gnome and Xfce.
    The only way to control brightness is using command line :
     echo 8 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
    (you can enter a number from 0 to 8)
    With Ubuntu 14.04 LiveCD controlling brightness using Fn+F4/F5 works well so for me it is a Linux distribution issue.
    Nevertheless, with Bios .10A I could not use any Linux at all, there was a real bug with brightness control which Bios .10G has fixed.
    The bug I'm talking about is described here :
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/447764
    Please note that Bios .10G FIXES this bug. The problem I'm encountering now is different, and only reproducible with Fedora. Ubuntu LiveCD is OK.
    Many thanks to you Svet. I do not regret my donation !
