Missing netbook PgUp PgDn Home End function

on a new mini Compaq CQ10-400AC, no PgUp PgDn Home End keys, and the often suggested Fn+arrow keys have no effect.....
Is there any other way to solve this problem ?
to HP - Is this a BIOS or Win7 or hardware issue ?
I too haven't been able to find anything in the knowledgebase. Can't understand how HP wouldn't advance any further info, it's like leaving their users to torture themselves....
Has to be incredibly easy to just state the answer in response, one way or the other.

This netbook is not equipped with Pg Up,Pg Dn, Home and End function on the keyboard....BIOS update should do the job but at this moment of all BIOS version I have tested, dont bring that functionality...

Satellite A200 - Inactive keys: CTRL, SHIFT, PGUP, PGDN, HOME, END

Hi,
I have a Satellite A200 and about a week ago, some of my keys simply stopped working.
All CTRL and SHIFT (left and right), PGUP, PGDN, HOME, END, are inactive.
I uninstalled the keyboard from Device Manager and autoreinstalled it at system startup, but nothing happened.
Is there a keyboard combination to reactivate these keys?
Thanks.

Hey,
There is no special button activate these keys. Usually all these keys work always and there is nothing to disable/enable them.
If the keyboard is malfunctioning you can test with an external keyboard as Paolo30 wrote.

PgUp, PgDn, Home and End not working

Hey all,
I'm using the G62 Laptop and just noticed in the last few days that the home, pgup, pgdn and end keys have not been functioning (I've tried both using Chrome and Microsoft Office and they haven't worked with those programs).
My operating system is Windows 7.
Thanks

Hello wamiq_saifi,
Welcome back to the HP Forums!
I understand you are having some issues with your keyboard buttons not responding.
I would suggest following this document from start to finish: Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 7). It will walk you through common fixes for this kind of issue.
It would help to know which operating system you are using. To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
I look forward to your reply!

PgUp/PgDn, etc Keyboard Weridness?

Has anyone seen any weirdness on the MacBook Pro using 10.4.6 (including the keyboard update) with regards to the use of the fn-up-arrow (pgup) and fn-dn-arrow (pgdown) keys?
Here's my problem: fn-(arrow key) sends the correct thing (pgup, pgdn, home, end...), however, it seems that shift-fn-(arrow key) ends up sending simply shift-(arrow key) instead of shift-pgup,pgdn, etc. This is frustrating when you'd like to get a "real" PgUp or PgDn key through to an running application in Term.app. I only seem to have this problem with the build-in keyboard on the MacBook Pro -- it worked correctly on the PowerBook. Any ideas?

HP 110-3135DX missing PgUp/Dn, Home, and End keys

As a precursor, I've been using an earlier model HP 110 up until now, so I'm used to the Fn+Arrow keys for this functionality previously. However, I got a new model, the 3135DX, and the Fn+Arrow key combos aren't working. Too, there's no (even very dark black-on-black) text referencing PgUp/PgDn on the arrow keys, or anywhere else. I use these keys for work and having to stop what I'm doing to fiddle with a scrollbar is irritating as all get-out. Is this accidental, or a design thing? And if the latter, who the heck thought this was a good idea? Is there any way I can get this functionality back, or am I going to have to go back to the store with a receipt and a "defective" laptop keyboard?

I am having the same issue. I hope HP will be able to provide a fix that allows the Home, End, PageUp, and PageDown keys to be triggered via a fn key combination.
In the meantime, I found a free, opensource utility on the Internet that allows you to create your own hot keys (www.autohotkey.com) and created a hotkey script that uses the Windows key in combination with the arrow keys to substitute for the missing keys.
For some reason, the #Left::Home key did not work for me as I expected. However, after some tinkering, the following AutoHotKey script is working very well for me:
#Left:END {Home}
#+Left::+Home
#^Left::^Home
#^+Left::^+Home
#Right::End
#Up:: PgUp
#Down:: PgDn
I hope this helps others who are suffering from the missing keys.

KYB probs: end/home/pgup/pgdn in mc/mutt etc. kbdoptions?

[ISSUE: on laptop home/PgUp/PgDn/End etc. don't do what's expected]
urxvt/screen running apps, with NumLk OFF the full numeric keypad on the laptop types:
Home types: U
End types: \
PgUp types: Z
PgDn types: [
Del types: _
the other keys on the numeric keypad are wrong as well.
tried a few things and did a lot of searching.
Is this an xorg.conf thing? xmodmap?
----------- text from earlier below ------------
Really enjoying mutt, mc and lots of things that run in screen.
I've read a lot of posts about xorg 1.6.1 though perhaps I can solve this quite easily with some
xkboption stuff.
When I'm in mutt on another machine the PgDn and PgUp keys do what I would expect and the same with mc (all running in screen)
THOUGH on the asus laptop with it's full keyboard (seperate numeric on the right side) I get anything but wat I'd want/expect.
In mc they just type letters or numbers instead of doing page jumps like the page down key for example should do.
And in mutt the End key asks me what message I want to jump to, instead of going to end of emails as expected.
My xorg.conf can be autogenerated I don't think until hwd and other things get a tweak. They don't work or I haven't found what will yet.
So... as my xorg.conf is really bare (generated by nvidia by me) could anyone tell me what to try for xkboptions or whatever.
i've done my hour on the web looking, so here I am asking for a tip or two maybe.
fun! thanks!

In the last few days, I've encountered a problem with scrolling with my up & down keys. The up & down keys seem to, now function as Home & End keys. MyPage Up & Page Down keys seem to do nothing. What is wrong?

Hit the '''F7''' key, you probably have Caret browsing turned on.

Safari bookmarks screen - home/end/pageup/pagedown non-functional?

Is it just me, or does Safari not respond to the keys Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down when in the Bookmarks screen?
I can't believe they overlooked such simple, standardized functionality...

Hi
it's not just you - there's at least two of us..... I bought this ,my first mac in May last year with 10.4 & the keys mentioned did not respond then - nor have any updates changed this.
It was of very little matter to me, so I've never looked into why - but I do know that Ctrl-Page-up/down works in the Bookmarks screen.

Command shortcut for Home/End not working

command (shortcuts) "Home" and "End" will not work for page I am on.

caret caret (F7) problems, Most keyboards have overlaid keys, make sure NumLk is off as that can also interfere. "PgUp", "PgDn", "SpaceBar", "Home" and "End" keys" not working -- caret cursor F7

Why did HP remove Home, End, Pg Up & Pg Dn keys?

Just got the new TM2-2050 tablet as a warranty replace for the tx1000 model I had for 2.5 years. Overall I'm happy with the machine as it's faster, has Windows 7 and doesn't heat up like a hot pack.
I'm surprised HP took out the bluetooth though and while I can survive without it, was disappointed that the CD/DVD drive was removed too.
The biggest thing I found weird was that they had eliminated the Home, End, Page Up & Page Down keys! Maybe I use the keyboard (and those keys) more than the average user but I was shocked. If they had simply made the Function keys smaller (like they were on all other previous tablet models) they could have easily kept those keys on the system.
I've only used it for a couple of days so far so we'll see how much I miss them. Does anyone know of a way to create keyboard shortcuts to replace Home & End, etc?

Hi,
Press at one time key combination:
" Fn + Left Arrow " -> Home
" Fn + Right Arrow " -> End
" Fn + Up Arrow " -> Page Up
" Fn + Down Arrow " -> Page Down

HP Omen Numpad, home, end, pageup, pagedowm

I bought this gaming laptop in Germany, so it is German keyboard. I don't know if that will make any difference. I am having a hard time trying to find numpad, home, end, pageup and pagedown buttons on my Computer. Can anyone help me please? Thank you a lot in advance.

Hi there lumia
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
In answer to your keyboard questions, I can only work off of the English version, but in general the layout should be pretty much the same, excepting for language specific special characters. There is no distinct numpad. The numberic characters are just along the top under the function keys. The Home, End, PgUp, PgDown keys are in the lower right of the keyboard, and are combined with the arrow keys.

I hope this helps.

PgUp/PgDn no longer work after upgrading to Firefox 4

I just upgraded from Firefox 3.6 to 4.0., and now the PgUp/PgDn keys (page up/page down) no longer work. Or rather, they act as though caret browsing (F7) is turned on, which it is not. (In caret browsing, PgUp is like the back button and PgDn is like the forward button.) To confirm that caret browsing is off, I've hit F7 and clicked No (multiple times), and also checked about:config, which shows that accessibility.browsewithcaret is false.
More info: (1) Options > Advanced > General > Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages is unchecked, (2) the PgUp/PgDn keys also don't work when Firefox is restarted in Safe Mode, (3) they don't work on any webpage, (4) they do work correctly in other applications (Microsoft Word, etc.), (5) my operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit), and (6) I run Microsoft Security Essentials (antivirus software).
Any ideas?
Could this be a bug? If so, what is the procedure for uninstalling Firefox 4 and returning to Firefox 3.6 -- without losing my bookmarks, add-ons, etc.?
Thanks!

dmtf2010 nailed the problem here (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640587#c48):
So, the solution is:
1. Go to about:config
2. Find ui.elantech_gesture_hacks.enabled
3. Change its value from -1 to 0
4. Restart FF
5. If you run into a bug that option was designed to fix (non-working page swipe gestures), install the latest Elantech driver (http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/14513/) and reboot.
I've tried his solution and, so far, so good. :)

Where are Home, End, Page Up, Page Down on MBP keyboard?

I just bought a MBP-15 after spending my entire computer life with Windows. I have a fairly sophisticated spreadsheet that I created in Excel that I now want to use in Numbers. But I'm hung up on the simplest thing - Home & End. I've read other postings and guides related to the keyboard, but everyone else seems to indicate that there are already Home & End keys (and Page Up/Page Down keys) on the keyboard. I have none - at least none that I can find. I just have the standard MBP keyboard, including the F1-F12 function keys (plus fn, option, control, command, & arrows). All of the key remapping posts talk about their use in text like a Safari e-mail. For spreadsheets, Windows lets me take a formula in 1 cell, ctrl-c to copy it, then shift-end-down and ctrl-v to paste that new formula to the end of the existing column. How is this done in the Mac world? Very frustrating so far. If it matters, I'm using Numbers '09 with Lion. Any and all help appreciated.

Home: fn-left arrow
End: fn-right arrow
Page Up: fn-up arrow
Page down: fn-down arrow
Actions in Numbers may not match those in Excel.
"For spreadsheets, Windows lets me take a formula in 1 cell, ctrl-c to copy it, then shift-end-down and ctrl-v to paste that new formula to the end of the existing column."
(Enter and confirm the formula in the initial cell if it's not already there.)
Select the initial cell.
Scroll to the bottom row using the thumb on the vertical scroll bar.
Shift-click on the bottom cell to select it and all cells between it and the initial cell.
Go Insert > Fill> Fill Down.
OR
Select the initial cell (containing the formula)
Copy (command-C)
Scroll to the last cell as above.
Shift-click on the last cell.
Paste (command-V)
Numbers design model favors documents containing several small single purpose tables, not large ones. The maximum size of an individual table is 255 columns by 65355 rows. In practical terms, then limits are much smaller in terms of deteriorating performance speed.

Wireless keyboard Home/End not working

I apologize if this has been answered before but I searched and didn't find it. I also apologize if this is a stupid question but I just got my first Mac 3 days ago.
My problem is with the Home/End shortcuts on the wireless keyboard (Fn-Left Arrow and Fn-Righ Arrow) not working in Firefox or TextEdit (and possibly other apps). The Page Up/Page Down shortcut (Fn-Up Arrow and Fn-Down Arrow) work fine as does the forward delete (Fn-Delete). Am I missing something? Is there another way to get the to end and beginning of line in the URL and single text lines or multiple line text boxes of Firefox? What about TextEdit? The Home/End combination does work in Entourage/Word but considering the source it doesn't surprise me that those apps don't work like every other app on my machine.

Command-<left arrow> takes you to the beginning of the line and Command-<right arrow> goes to the end. Command-<up arrow> and Command-<down arrow> take you to the top and bottom of the document respectively.

Problems with "Fn" + Home/End

Please help me with my trouble. i have Lenovo sl 500. I've decided to update my windows vista home basic( that was built-in my notebook) to windows 7. All troubles were solved, but i cannot change the level of brightness(pressing Fn +home/end ) the other combinations with the button "Fn" are working.
Maybe i need a driver?
Please can you name this driver or help me to solve this problem.
Thank you

I think you've right about the problem: the graphics driver for Vista might not support Windows 7 or work well with other drivers for Windows 7. Those driver tables seem to be incomplete for Windows 7 drivers still. Lists like this one are more reliable: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?template=/productpage/landingpages/productPage...
However, I didn't see a listing for a Windows 7 driver for Intel graphics for your model; only NVIDIA. You can download a generic Windows 7 graphics driver from Intel directly: http://downloadcenter.intel.com
Do you have System Update 4.0? It's available here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73695
If you uninstall the drivers and reboot, System Update should install them for you. If the right graphics driver is indeed missing, the generic driver might be your best bet for now.
