Is there a way to reverse the Function (Fn) Keys on the ThinkPad T540p and Windwos 8.1?

I recently purchased an I ThinkPad T540p, and install there Windows 8.1 Enterpirse.
Then I download and install all drivers from lenovo site including upgrade BIOS to version 2.07
Then I have noticed that the default for  the keys where  F1 and F2, etc. usually are, are now the mute and volume buttons.  To access the F1, F2....F12 keys, you now have to press Fn + your desired F key.  
Is it possible to reverse the Function keys?  I would much rather press Fn + F1 to mute than have to press press Fn + F1 to access F1.   
Thanks you in advance.

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Check in BIOS -> config -> Keyboard if there is an option to switch between default and legacy mode.
If you don’t find that option, you may try the Fn+esc combination that changes the function keys to legacy mode, but when the computer reboots, it might reset back to a default mode and you have to use Fn+esc again.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

  • Is there a way to reverse the Function (Fn) Keys on the ThinkPad T440p

    Hi, Do you have a solution for the T440p please.
    Im really confused how this could be allowed to happen!!!
    Function keys have been around for as long as i can remember and make up the basic setup of a pc/laptop.
    Why on earth would someone think its a good idea to swap the less used functions keys around!!
    I mean even the simple ALT + F4 doesnt close my screens, it just turns the microphone on and off!?!?! (This sequence of keys have always closed application and assisted in faster shutdowns etc...  and thats just a very simple example.)
    If it wasnt the fact that this is a Work Laptop i would swap it if there is no fix.
    I would like a fix and i would also like an explanation on the reasons for this change, only because im curious on what factors came into play to make that decision.
    When making these types of changes you MUST have the input from someone that uses a PC otherwise you are only trying to please the people that dont know how to use a pc... you need to stick to the market and go with whats most beneficial for a working setup for business.... for my job, this key change is simply unacceptable as it has screwed up all the normal methods of accessing certain fields, closing apps, plus other shortcuts etc.
    I apologise for the moaning email but ive just got this new laptop and have a lot of work to do so its just really irritating when the buttons im presing is giving me the unexpected outcome.
    Appreciate your help in this matter.

  • I bought about 4 books at once on amazon for my iPad kindle and then realise that I'm not getting round to reading any of them.  I've gone into two books but two I haven't.  Is there a way of reversing the order and getting my money back?

    Hi I bought too many books at once through amazon for my iPad kindle.  Havent read any of them and Two I haven't actually gone in to, they have a banner across front which says 'new'is there a way of reversing the transaction either with amazon kindle or the iPad kindle application so I cane my money back?

    You should ask Amazon about their returns policy or check the Amazon website. As that's who you bought them from they would be the best people to answer.

  • Is there any way to reverse the "swipe to switch between fullscreen apps" controls?

    I feel like the "swipe left to go to the app to the left" is actually counter-intuitive, especially when they were thinking about a touchscreen when designing this OS. The scrolling, though most people aren't used to it on a computer, makes sense because you move the page in the direction as if you were moving a physical page. The switching between fullscreen apps is the opposite and isn't natural for me, especially since I have been using an iPhone and iPad for a couple years now. Is there any way of reversing this control? If not, I think they should do the same thing that they did with the "natural" scrolling and have a checkbox to give you the option of either way.

    I didn't see anything in the trackpad preferences as far as direction of the swipe. If anyone else can find it, I would love to be able to reverse it.

  • I backed up my iphone 4 before updating to my iphone 5 and it restored to default settings. As a result, i have lost all my photos. Is there ant way to reverse the back up as I have a 2 month old baby and desperatly want to retrieve my photos :-(

    Pictures are designed to be copied off the device regularly as would be done with any digital camera.  There is no logical reason why anyone would fail to do this with supposedly important pictures.
    If a recent backup exists, it is also possible to restore the device from the most recent backup, this may restore pictures to the device.  If it does, COPY THEM OFF THE DEVICE IMMEDIATELY for safekeeping.

  • Is there a way to call a function with in the initializer of a ArrayCollection?

        Is there a way to call a function with in the initializer of a ArrayCollection?
    It won't let me do this:
    var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
                        {childName:'addTrade',index:addTradeIndex },
                        {childName:'tradeList',dealsCanvas.getChildIndex(tradeList) }

    The correct syntax is
    var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
                        {childName:'addTrade',index:addTradeIndex },
                        {childName:'tradeList',index:dealsCanvas.getChildIndex(tradeList) }

  • If I use a sound clip in the multi-track editor multiple times; is there a way to reverse the clip w

    If I use a sound clip in the multi-track editor multiple times; is there a way to reverse the clip without change all the instances where the clip was used in the same multi-track session?
    I'm having to copy the clip rename it as clipreverses.wav then bring it back into audition to use it.
    Sony Vagas you can flip the same clip on a different track with a right click and not affect any other copies of that clip.

    Not that I'm aware of, no. You can easily make a unique copy of a clip (right-click on it, and you get it already saved for you), and I'd say that having this was more flexible in one way, at least, as you could then time-stretch it if you wanted to, without altering all other instances of it. Not saying that there wouldn't be any point in having a reverse-play option - I can see instances where it might be useful. It's just that it's not exactly difficult to achieve this anyway, which is probably why I don't ever recall a request for it!

  • Is there any way to REVERSE a 'Restore' action on the iPhone 5?

    Is there any way to reverse a restore action on the iPhone5?
    I just got my iPhone and connected it to my itunes for the first time and it asked me to register my phone as new or restore from last iphone. I did not realize that this action would delete all of the pictures I took this weekend of my son. Please help! These pics are priceless.

    No. You can not "reverse" a restore. If you didn't have the photos backed up, or uploaded to PhotoStream, they're gone.

  • Is there any way to send more then 1 parameter to the listener function?

    Hi guys, so is there any way to send more then 1 parameter to the listener function?

    Hi,
    sure.
    The first variant is to add many parameters to event.
    The second variant is to extend calling callback functions.
    For example,
    public function addCallBack(eventName:String, callBack:Function = null, ... rest):void
         // save callBack function and event type and other args (rest)
         addEventListener(eventName, myHandler);
    private function myHandler(event:Event):void
         // get function and args by eventName
         fnc.apply(null, [event, args]);

  • I just connected my iphone4 to my macbook for the first time and it resored it to the previous settings from my old iphone.  Is there a way to reverse this???!!

    Hey folks, I just connected my iphone4 to my macbook for the first time and it restord it to the previosu settings from my old iphone? Is there a way to reverse this??!!!

    If you want it to go back to essentially Out of Box Factory Settings then you will want to just select the 'Restore' option from the Summary Screen within iTunes. You will be prompted to Restore from Backup or Restore as New, in this case you will want to restore as new.
    If you have previous settings you will need to see if they were backed up correctly before syncing, you can check this in Preferences -> Devices -> Backups and look at the list of backups to see if one coincides with your iPhone 4. If not, then there will be no settings to restore to other than the previously connected iPhone or back to Factory settings.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Just use your backup to put everything back.  This is one of the many reason that backup are very basic.

  • Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

    Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?  The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function.  Am I missing something?  It was so easy with Windows.

    Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

  • Is there a way to create a function that concatenates

    Hello,
    I constantly find myself needing to create a forumla tha concatenates employee's ID, last name, and first name.  Is there a way to create a function in Crystal that will allow me to create a function that already has this concatenation in place?  I am using Crystal XiR2.
    Thanks,
    Z

    Hi Zack,
    Custom function is a function that can be used in any report and it doesn't depend on database. We have to provide the values in order to claculate what we want and basing on the values provided it calculates accordingly. We cannot use global variables in custom functions and also evaluation time functions (like whileprintingrecords,whilereadingrecords). So I think it is not possible to get the strings concatenated without passing the values.
    Alternatively you can go for a query using Add Command like this
    select IDFirstNameLastName as value from table

  • Is there a way to snap cut/edited portions together on the same track rather than manually having to drag them together?

    Is there a way to snap cut/edited portions together on the same track rather than manually having to drag them together?  To elaborate, if I have a 3 minute track of raw audio and I edit out the middle 30 seconds of it I am left with two tracks with a "30 second" area that has no file.  To join them manually I can click and drag one portion of the audio until I match it with the other section but instead, is there a shortcut or function that I could select that automatically marries up the cut portions of the track, thereby eliminating the 30 second gap?

    Yes: hold the control key while deleting (or select "delete and move" from the Edit menu.)
