Num lock stopped functioning on Qosmio F750

Hello,
I have a Qosmio F750-11T. Four days ago I started up my laptop and found out my num lock stopped functioning. The led always lights up, but the buttons do not respond. I can't put the num lock off or on and I can 't produce any numbers anymore with it (nor use the pgup, pgdn buttons when it should be off).
I read some stuff on the (.com) forum and updated the BIOS to the latest version, rebooted it, but nothing helps.
I bought the laptop just 3 months ago. I would appreciate if somebody could help me out with this.
Thank you!

Best thing you can do is to contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Im pretty sure they will exchange keyboard and everything will be OK again. Notebook is pretty new with valid warranty so you must not pay for keyboard exchange.

Qosmio F750 - Cannot get some functions to work after Win 8 uprgade

I own a Qosmio F750-125, PQF75E.
Since I upgraded to Win 8, utilizing Toshiba Upgrade Assistant I might add, I had some issues.
Most importantly not being able to get my Toshiba Blu-ray player to install.
Eventually I managed, still don't exactly how but anyway, to install the latest version 1.0.0.5.70A.
The problem now is that the 3D function still don't seem to work.
When I open a 3D movie I only get the picture to display side by side, despite clicking on the 3D button.
I tried to update the Nvidia driver (v290) to the latest version v314, available on Nvidia site, for for my GeForce GT540M graphics card but every time I get a message that the driver cannot find compatible driver hardware. Eventually from within the upgrade files downloaded by Toshiba Upgrade Assistant I managed to install the v306. I am still however unable to install v 314, after the "system check" I still get the message that the driver can find compatible driver hardware.
However, the 3D still does not work. I notice that the face detection (SuperD Xtune) does not automatically start with the Blu-ray player when I launch or open a 3D file to be played by the Toshiba Blu-ray player, as it used to.
How can I get my Blu-ray Player to play my 3D properly again.
If I open Xtune I am able to calibrate the 3D and then it closes.
I do not see a app under all apps which seem to have anything to do with the face detection function.
Is there a setting that need to be changed, an additional driver to be installed or what?
I am really disappointed with the support I have received from Toshiba themselves on this issue.
I also wanted to update the BIOS of my laptop.
My bios version is 2 dating December 2011 but I notice that a newer BIOS is available from Toshiba Website dating February 2012, if I am not mistaken.
I downloaded that but when I run it I receive a message that my computer is not compatible.
**bleep** this is frustrating.
I want to get my 3D function back and be sure to run the latest and most appropriate drivers, at all times.

Dear Tonny
Thank you for patiently answering to my posts.
You are right, despite extensive notes in the Toshiba Step-by-Step upgrade guide and specific mention that the Blu-ray player can only be installed by using the Upgrade Assistant, it is not installed by the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant.
I am not sure though whether it actually did form part of the downloaded files but never the less I installed it by some miracle manually.
It did not want to install at first. I received a message that the player could not be found. I noticed that the player is a sMedio Inc player and I then searched sMedio Inc and download their WinDVD Pro player. After that the Blu-ray driver from Toshiba installed.
I also have it that v1.0.0.5.70A is the latest driver but through my local Toshiba Agent (MUSTEK) I received a driver from Germany and it was 1.0.0.5.48. I have not installed that as yet.
I am convinced that the problem lies with the interaction between the Blu-ray Player, Nvidia driver and SuperD software.
I searched my installed files and saw that I have Super D spd2900g and Super D X-tune installed. I uninstalled both and tried to re-install it form the file included in the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant (Super D IC Driver).
However only the Super D spd2900g part installed and the Super D X-tune part is now missing.
NOW I am completely BUGGERED because I do not know where to find the X-tune program to reinstall it.
SuperD's website is very basic, in fact somewhat primitive.
Thanks you also for the links, I have seen them somewhere and have had regard thereto but they are outdated.
They relate to much older versions and windows 7 not 8.
I must be honest, the poor response and support from Toshiba will most definitely lead to me not buying their product again. None of the so called technicians have help me achieve anything. I struggled and figured out everything myself so far.
I still also have no answer in respect of the BIOS upgrade issue. Is there no one I can contact directly.

Qosmio F750 Toshiba applications have stopped working suddenly

Hi there,
can anyone help me?
All toshiba applications in my Toshiba Qosmio F750 have stopped working. Including Toshiba bulletin board, tohsiba blu-ray disc player, toshiba reeltime, etc... I don't know why and when it stopped working... please help me anyone :(

> I don't know why and when it stopped working
For us here on this forum is also not easy to understand what is the reason for your problem.
For that reason I also think best and of course the easiest way to fix all this is OS reinstallation.
Start to use your notebook with factory settings again. With clean recovery image installation everything will be perfect again.

Num-Lock Function

I have just purchased a brand new MacBook (basic but with 2 Gig processor and 2 Gig Memory). There is no num-lock function that I can find and the keys have no num-lock symbols on them. I've tried calling tech support 3 times and the guys can't seem to figure this one out. I've tried f6, fn+6, fn+f6 etc.
Does anyone know the answer to this mystery?

It's on page 22 here:

Hi all, my ipad mute hardware button just stopped functioning, I have to use lock rotation to enjoy some apps..what do I do?

Hi all, my ipad mute hardware button just stopped functioning, I have to use lock rotation to enjoy some apps..what do I do?

Your statement doesn't make sense to me.... But it could just be me not understanding what you mean. Let me explain how the side switch and the control center work for screen rotation lock and system sounds.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

CPU not functional - 1 blink of caps and num lock

I have HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook
It started giving me blank screen with caps lock and num lock blinking, and I went to the HP support and found out that it has something to do with "CPU not functional" thing. I have to say this diagnosis is bogus and on HP site it says I have to contact HP support for this, and when I go to contact HP support they said my warranty has ended so I cannot even send them an email about it except come to this forum again post my grievance. It seems this error is happening to many customers, and if I remember correctly CPU is not something that will go wrong suddenly, maybe the motherboard or battery, but all hardware parts not the CPU. It seems there is a known issue with DV series of notebooks where this blinking is happening. To your surprise I'm now using the same laptop to post this while the lights are still blinking. The best place HP support directed me was either to pay for service or to contact recycling, REALLY? Is this really the award-winning support HP has. I am dismayed with the intricacy the site has in getting your problems heard by HP and get a resolution. So here I am asking for the community forum if they have fixed their laptops after getting the famous "CPU not functional" error.
And now before I submit this, the cpu fan has started to make very scary noises, just like a small motor bike, somebody please help me.

Follow the troubleshooting on this HP web document.

OSD for the Caps Lock and Num Lock is not appearing.

Hi all,
I recently discovered that the Caps Lock and Num Lock OSD has stopped appearing when I activate/disactivate these functions. The functions still work, just that the notifications do not pop up.
All the rest of the OSD notifications still DO work, like volume, ThinkLight, brightness, etc.
I've checked the on-screen display settings in Control Panel and found that it set to 'enable' with fadeout at 3 seconds.
I've turned it off and on to 'reset' it but to no avail.
Help, please.
Thanks in advance.

They're not supposed to show up on T400's because the indicators exist as physical indicators on the lower bezel.

How do I toggle num lock in Windows 7 via Boot Camp 4.0 on a MacBook Pro (Late 2011)?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to enable num lock on the MacBook Pro 2011 (Late) in Windows 7 via Boot Camp 4.0? I have a mouse with a numpad mapping on the side of it. When I press the number keys, the cursor responds in the way one would expect it to with the num lock off (ie, 6 moves it right, 4 moves it left, etc); however, I need to use it to produce numbers.
I have read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1220, which covers the previous MBP keyboard (on which the F6 key function was numlock), but I can't find any information regarding the possibility of doing this with the new MBP model keyboard (on which the F6 key function is increasing the keyboard backlight). Any thoughts? Suggestions?

I was looking for this answer and found it on another site. I realize this is an old thread, but just in case someone else stumbles here and needs to do it, here's how to turn numlock on or off in Windows, and to make it stick:
Run Registry Editor (RegEdit)
In Windows 8 or earlier you can press Command-R, then type regedit
In Win7 or earlier, you can also just click Start menu, and type regedit in the search field.
In the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Control Panel -> Keyboard
Within the Keyboard folder, you should have an entry named InitialKeyboardIndicators. Set the "Data" value accordingly:
0 = Num Lock is turned OFF after login
1 = Disable Num Lock
2 = Numlock is turned ON after the login
I hope this helps.

Num Lock Pad Doesn't Work With Fill In Forms

I have Adobe XI, running Windows * and IE 11. Num Lock key pad does not work with fill in forms. Can anyone help?

Sounds like you are using a third-party keyboard: the new Apple keyboards do not have a Num Lock key and the numeric keypad always functions as such.
If you're using a third-party keyboard, and if you installed vendor-provided software to customize the keyboard, check its preferences and also check the vendor's Web site to see if there is an updated version of the software for your keyboard.
I cannot reproduce the problem using the latest model of Apple Pro keyboard (the one that came with my computer, which is the same as your computer).
2. You might also want to state the specific keyboard and version of Excel you are using in case someone else has the same configuration and can try to reproduce the problem. I tried it with Excel from Office v.X.
3. You wrote: "* Deleted Excel Preferences"Both of them, yes?
- Home > Library > Preferences > com.microsoft.excel.plist (you may or may not have this one).
- Home > Library > Preferences > Microsoft > Microsoft Excel
Good luck!

Can't get my number pad to work - No Num Lock

Hello,
I recently got my iMac with the wireless keyboard and noticed that I can not get my number pad to work. There is no num lock button to turn on/off, just the clear button. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks
Jay

This is from the built-in Mac Help.
Hope it works for you.
My numeric keypad doesn't work
The way the numeric keypad works depends on your computer, the keyboard you're using, the application you're working in, and whether the Num Lock key is engaged. Usually, the numeric keypad is used to enter numbers in a document, but in some applications you might be able to use the keypad to navigate (move around in) your document.
Press the Num Lock key to switch between the ways the numeric keypad functions.
If you have a separate numeric keypad on your keyboard, the Num Lock key is located in the numeric keypad. If you're using a portable computer, the Num Lock is a function key, marked Num Lock (F6). If your keyboard has a separate keypad but no Num Lock key, try pressing Shift-Clear.
Most portables have a group of keys on the keyboard that can function as the numeric keypad. To find the keypad, look for small numbers or symbols in the lower-right corner of keys on the right side of your keyboard. Press the Num Lock key (F6) to turn on the keypad. The green light glows on the Num Lock key when the keypad is active.

HP Pavilion DV7-1428ca _ CAPS + NUM LOCK Continually Blinks + Will not Start up Black Screen

Would appreciate any suggestions on the issue I am encountering.
I have an HP Pavilion DV7-1428ca that was left powered on, so it went into Safe mode (screen goes blank). Once I came back to my Laptop hitting any key would take out of of the Safe mode however this time it did not. It remained with black screen irregardless of buttons pressed.
Had booted and can hear the fan and hdd go for the 2secs then it stops to a Black Screen with the "CAPS + NUM LOCK" Continually Blinking. Tried to Hard Boot several times but the same thing re-occurs.
It does not seem to be blinking in a series a code, just a steady blink (every sec) for both the CAPS + NUM Lock for as long as I leave it on. HP Site provides a chart from 1-6 series of blink codes which does not seem to apply to me.
Being out of Warranty I am hesitant in bringing it to a local repair shop without trying any alternate trouble shooting first.
Thanks

Hi,
First of all, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter unplugged, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for a full minute. Plug in the AC Adapter ( leave the battery out ) and see if the notebook will start.

Qosmio F750 - 2D - 3D conversion.

Hi.
First post here.
I have a Toshiba Qosmio F750 3d with Windows7 64 bit installed. Model #PQF75E-036008EN.
All drivers and software are up to date using the Toshiba Tempro and software updates messages etc.
I've searched the forum data base to ask how do I convert my Blu Ray DVD into 3D?
I do have the glass less 3d LED 15.6" inch display and can see the demo version 3d clips, that Toshiba installed onto my laptop.
Am I correct in believeing that the Toshiba Blu Ray player software, can convert stock Blu Ray films into 3D, to be played back using the Toshiba Bla Ray player?
There is a 2d -3d tab on this player. I'd like to play my collection of standard 2D blu ray movies in 3D.
Or, do I have to purchase a full 3D movie in the first place.
al.any help is appreciated.

> Am I correct in believing that the Toshiba Blu Ray player software, can convert stock Blu Ray films into 3D, to be played back using the Toshiba Blu Ray player?
On your notebooks system two different players are installed: WinDVD BD for Toshiba and Toshiba video player.
WinDVD BD for Toshiba this software can be used to play the 3D blu-ray disk.
This software does NOT support the 2Dto3D conversion function!
Toshiba video player: this software plays DVDs and video files. This software supports the 2Dto3D conversion function and 2D DVD-VR and video files can be converted to 3D.
Note: 3D occurs only in full screen size. So when you enable the 3D playback, the video automatically enlarges to full screen size.

Qosmio F750 WEBCAM IR (infrared light) problem

The colors gets wrong when I use the built in webcam on my Qosmio F750W10. Red gets pinkish and black tends to be violet/blue.
Using a IR-CUT filter in front of the camera lens gives correct colors and using a IR-open (closes all visible light) The camera still sees all in black/white.
My conclusion is that the camera has no or a non functioning IR filter.
Is this an error with the built in webcam or did Toshiba use a cra**y cheap camera in this expensive computer?
The problem is worse when I sit under a Halogen lamp, guess it radiates more IR-light.
And yes, I have tried all available software adjustments! And yes I have reinstalled OS and drivers!
Anyone else experienced this?
Regards.

Hi,
I do not expect this built in webcam to have superiour quality (resolution is 1280x800 ) but I would like the colors recognition to be OK. All red, dark red and orange looks like a bleached Pink Panter. I have tested 4 other laptops (Acer,Asus, Toshiba Portege) none of them has any troble with colour recognition even if some is much cheaper and has lower resolution cameras.
My Qosmio F750 is still under warranty but I have a problem making Toshiba Support understand that this is a problem.
Should I not expect better quality? So I would like to *check out if any other owners of this Qosmio F750 has this color recognition problem* with the built in webcam.
And as I said before I have found that the problem is that the camera has no IR-CUT filter. Is this camera designed with no IR protection, or is it a production error with my computer?

Number pad doesn't work, and can't find Num Lock button

My number pad has stopped working. I looked in the User Guide which says I have a Num Lock button, but I don't. Where is it located. Thank you.

Solved - Never mind, I found it. I don't know why I couldn't find it last night. I'd looked for it before without finding it. For some reason, there it was this morning - where it should have been. I guess the computer elf came in an installed it. Thanks to anyone who may have thought of responding.

PB DL Superdrive num lock issue

Hey,
Well after having problems with artefacts appearing when watching videos (may have gone with 10.4.3 or I may have stopped noticing it). I'm having constant problems with my keyboard.
It seems that sometimes, not sure why yet, num lock switches on. Except it's not on. So with the num lock light off (i.e de-activated) if I type a 'o' I actually get a '6', it's the same for the other letters. If I switch num lock on it exhibits the behaviour you'd expect with num lock on.
The only way I've found to cure it is to restart. Seems the new USB keyboards, or drivers aren't quite as good as they used to be.
Anyone else seen this at all?

Hi,
This problem is driving me mad. It's happened 18 times since I received this computer on 11/14/05. I've Archived and Installed, Erased and Installed and it still happens. It didn't happen when I had 10.4.2 after the Erase and Intall, which is what the install disk has on it, but did once I upgraded to 10.4.5 after a few days. I've run the Apple Hardware test looped overnight; it didn't find anything wrong. I've removed the 1 GB chip MacMall added but have to try without the 512k chip since MacMall may have swapped out the Apple chip when they added the 1GB. Both have passed the Apple Hardware test.
Some day I want to try to borrow a USB keyboard and plug it in when it happens to see if that keyboard will work. If so, it's a hardware problem. The advice the latest AppleCare guy gave me was to reinstall my data slowly after reinstalling the OS, the old Conflict Catcher approach which is just unworkable with 50 GBs of data! (How long do I have to wait to see if the problem is not going to reoccur before I add some new data?)
Some more notes:
- It is a sporadic problem (and extremely aggravating).
- I have checked the Activity monitor and haven't seen any hung processes or high CPU or memory usage.
- One clue I sometimes get before/as it happens is that scrolling browser windows become jerky, the windows go all the way up or down rather than scroll, right before/as it happens. I use the latest (non-beta/test) version of Firefox, 1.5 now.
- It seems to spread. First, it affects the number-lock keys. (The number lock light never is on nor can I toggle it to do so when this problem occurs. It is fine otherwise.) Then at some point, after producing numbers when it should be typing letters, I'll lose all keys but never my trackpad/cursor. I can double click; apps/windows respond. When it happens though I just quit everything and reboot and the computer is fine after that.
- It might happen when I try to do things quickly, like close an app and then switch to another window but often it happens when I have few apps open and am only doing light typing or just browsing.
- Universal Access/"Mouse keys" are off and always have been.
- I do use some haxies/OS modifications like WindowShade, wClock and some others but WindowShade is Tiger-compatible and I have used fewer since the reinstalls. Who knows what app might be causing it.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. I am also curious how widespread a problem this is. Is it solely affecting 15" & 17" newer powerbooks? (Those that use the "stepping" processor?) Is it an OSX problem or a hardware problem?
Thank you.
