Re: Satellite C650 - FN key not working

Hi.
In my Satellite C650-1CG (PSC14E-00G001AR) with XP*86 bit, "FN" key not working. I saw a lot of solutions here but unfortunately for Windows 7 i didn't see yet..
pls help me

Hi shamlic,
> I saw a lot of solutions here
Yes, there are hundreds of threads here in forum about FN keys and as far as I know the problem could always be solved by reinstalling Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility from official Toshiba European driver download page.
That means you have to remove the old versions first, then restart the computer and install the newest versions.

Satellite P300 - One Key not working on keyboard

Hi all,
Does anyone have a suggested solution to fix a key not working on my laptop? One letter on my keyboard "the letter b" has stopped working.
Laptop is Satellite P300- "PSPCA-01U013"
Thanks :)

Hi Ricco1,
The problem is that single keys cant be replaced so if a certain key doesnt work its time to replace the whole keyboard but dont worry, new keyboards are not so expensive. Just get in contact with an authorized service provider and ask for a new keyboard, the guys are able to order a new one and they can replace it for you if cant do this yourself.
Here you can find a list of all ASPs:

Satellite M40 - FN key not working on XP

Hi everyone.
I have a Satellite M40 (which is M43 in Australia) model number: PSM43A-1100H, Running on a XP home edition.
The FN key is working but not functioning with others (F6,F7,F8 for screen brightness and wireless).
I would appreciate any help.
thanks in advance.
Cheers
Jax

As mentioned, try reinstalling Common Modules, and the other components that may be related to the keyboard.
If Windows has not been reinstalled for years, you might want to consider backing up your documents and running Recovery.
I myself do this on my laptop since Windows can get corrupted and slow after a while due to power losses, viruses, etc..

Satellite A500 fn keys not working at all after windows 7 upgrade

Hi everyone,
I'm using Satellite A500 which i just did the windows 7 upgrade (32 bit) yesterday, however, i can no longer use the FN key on the keyboard which i'd use it very often.
can anybody help??? much appreciated!!
mav

Hi, thanks for your reply,
I'd some search on the forum, however, there're some similar issue, but they are not A500 model, so i m not sure it's reference.
yeah i did download and install the value added package, and restarted my flash cards, and i did change the setting of the flash card, at least now i can use it by moving my mouse to the top of the screen and they pop up. but yet, the FN key still not working at all.
i couldnt really find "common modules" or "hot key" to download, could anyone post the link here? if that would make my FN key work just like before?
Thanks alot!

Satellite M30: FN keys not working after IE7 installation

I installed IE7 and noticed that the fn keys no longer work. (Satellite M30)
I am not sure if that was the catalyst because I'm not sure how long the problem has existed for.
The only ones I use often are FN+f6 and +f7.
I really need to be able to adjust the brightness of the screen. Any and all help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
First of all the display brightens can be changed also in the Toshiba Power Saver utility.
But its very strange that after the IE7 update the FN keys stopped working. I have installed the IE7 on my notebook and the FN keys still work fine.
So maybe its a simply something wring in the registry. Who knows ?:|
I would recommend reinstalling the Common Modules.
Maybe it helps!

Satellite A350 - FN keys not working after Windows 7 installation

Sorry for my bad english, i am forum Portugal and i don't are very good at english.
1 I installed Windows 7 on my pc, installed the drivers 7 and FN was to give. However I had another problem and had to format the pc again, now install everything again and functionality not the FN.
2 Without the drive functionality that is FN + F6/F7 brightness works. But with the drive not installed anything. It seems they are in conflict.
3 The bar at the top of the screen that appeared no longer appears. But if I go to Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Utilities -> Settings for TOSHIBA E-cards. With it open, squeeze "Allow the mouse to show the cards" and they appear at the top, as hidden. But just gives me no way, I wish to give to the FN.
Anyone know how this is resolved?? It gave me immense way and even have tried everything, installed everything, there is nothing to block the FN key? A feature that blocks this key?? Please help me.
My PC as it says in the title is Toshiba Sattelite A350D 10Y PSALME....

To enable Fn key functionality, you need to install:
TOSHIBA Value Added Package (v1.2.28)
Utility Support Driver for Windows 7 (v1.0.25.5C)
If you installed Vista version of those packages, it may not work properly.
You need to Windows 7 versions specifically for the A350

Satellite P850 - FN keys not working

I recently purchased a Toshiba p850/049 laptop and reformatted it for windows 7 64x (from windows 8). After installing all of the Toshiba software etc everything was working fine although just recently I have noticed that the special function keys have stopped working. They definitely worked after I reformatted the computer because I remember being initially annoyed that every time I went to refresh a webpage (f5) it would switch of the trackpad as I was unfamiliar with the new configuration.
I thought the issue may be due to the 'Logitech setpoint' software I installed but I have since uninstalled that and the problems remains. I then tried uninstalling then reinstalling the value added package and the HW setup software and then checking all of the flash card/keyboard settings.
I then tried checking the BIOS setting with no luck. No matter what configuration I have it set to the special keys do not work. When I have it set to "special function keys" and press any of the function buttons, the keyboard lights up but nothing happens, in this mode if I press fn+function keys they work in their normal fashion ie spell check or refresh or full screen etc. When I have it set to "normal f1-12 function keys" the same applies in that f5 refreshes successfully but fn+f5 does nothing. I have tried playing around with the settings in accessibility and HW set up and flash cards and in BIOS with no effect (It seems that changing the setting in HW set up and bios change each other and vice versa).
It seems no matter what I have it set to the keyboard seems to be unable to access the special function key option. I recently got sp1 for win 7 64x, could this be part of the problem? I am not entirely sure when the keys stopped working but I do know they did work after reformatting to windows 7.
any help would be appreciated

Hi
Did you restart the Flash Cards Utility which can be found under:
All Programs -> Toshiba -> restart Flash Cards
Additionally you should also install the Flash Card Support Utility next to VAP (value added package)
This utility can be found here:

Satellite A130: Fn key not working with Vista - only FlashCards

Hi,
I have been looking around in the forums but I couldn't find solutions to my problem.
I have a satelite A130 and I am running a windows VISTA home basic. I have a problem with my fn functions.
I can only use the flash cards on top of my screen, just by sliding my mouse up on top of my screen.
The "fn" key works only when I start my computer, at the start up but when the computer runs, there is nothing else I could use but my mouse to show my flash cards and use them.
Is there anything I could do?
Thanks

I have found solution, download from Canadian Toshiba site Toshiba Flash Cards Support Utility via http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp and all will be correct. Don't understand why this driver not included in europian site.

Satellite A500D - FN key not working - Need tool for Vista 64bit

Hi experts,
I would like to ask for assistance on my laptop's problem.
The FN key doesnt seem to work now. I tried restarting the Flash cards but nothing happens.
I read on some threads that i have to download the VAP and the flash utility from drivers section.
Thing is there is no option for vista 64 on the list. I have the european installation backup disks (7 cds or 9?) but I have no plans of reinstalling the OS again.
I cant activate the button for the antenna as it requires FN-F8 combination.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for the links. I installed both the files you gave, unfortunately, it didnt work. Im still unable to use my FN button. Im only able to access the FN-Fs if I run the flash card setup and allow the mouse to bring up the cards. Strange thing though, last night after installing windows update, for some reason FN worked again. But then after shutting down the laptop, things went back to as it were (FN back to being useless). Is there a specific process that should be running for this FN thing to work that maybe I should enable?
Other suggestion is appreciated.
Also, installing both files went kinda wierd. After extracting from zip and running the exe file, installation doesnt mention if it finished successfully or what. All I saw was the install shield button minimized (unable to maximize) and then disappearing after several minutes. Blinking light seems to indicate some activity but when i checked on control panel - programs, it shows VAP was installed. Then I just restarted
Best Regards

'SHIFT' key on Satellite Pro C660 is not working

G'day,
I have a minor problem with my Toshiba Satellite Pro C660 notebook computer.
Unfortunately I had to remove the keyboard and in doing so dislodged the
flimsy plug connecting it to the computer.
The 'Shift' key has refused to work since. All the other keys work as usual.
The only problem is the 'Shift' key not working.
I have tried gently moving the plug but made no difference so now have to
use a USB keyboard.
Can you please help with suggestions to solve this problem?
Thank you for your time.
Cheers,
Sunrap.

I have fixed my problem with the often used right shift key from my laptop computer by gently lift of the cap with a small screw driver and put a very small paper ball inside the hollow plastic tube.
Greetings Joop

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

Some keybaord keys not working after suspect virus on Tecra A

Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and end keys not working after a suspected virus attack. I found record of the same problem on the net but apparently this guy fixed his problem after he found scroll lock or num lock on.
This is not the case here but there is something going on with numlock - register shows 2 and not 0. change to 0 but when reboot back to 2 again.
Suspect changed back by bios. I thought i couldnt get to bios because DEL key not working but found ESC works.
Tried to reset default values for bios but then cannot save and exit as this required the END key to work.
I was running XP at the time of the (suspected) attack and could not rectify the problem so put the computer back to the OEM status which i hoped would help - it did not, same problem so rather than install all the software on the computer again with XP i upgraded to Windows7 - fresh install.
Still keys do not work - it was a real pain to start with as my computer was set up to ctl+alt+del to log in and i had to do this with on screen keyboard - XP - this also showed that numlock was on before and after windows boot.
The reason i suspect a virus - my wife was watching one of her tv shows on line from home country (another toshiba laptop) and i needed to use that laptop for something else so i asked her to use mine - later on we turned the laptops off and in the morning turned tham back on again, the other laptop with AVG virus protection flagged several hits and this one with (FAMOUS and completely up to date) Norton flagged nothing - once i got into it using on screen keyboard.
Problems with this computer was found after scanning with a different antivirus.
Anyway - i am left with 4 keys that do not work on my keyboard (actually they did work after i logged into the computer for the first time but i had to hold them in for a long time - and then next time i rebooted, not work at all and havent ever since)
Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated, i have been working on this all weekend with no joy at all.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Xardas,
I have essentially done both - tried Toshiba OEM status found on a small partition of the toshi hard drive - no good - then did a fresh install of Windows 7 - still no good
You know - as cunning as it sounds - i cannot reload the default settings in BIOS as it requires the END key to work so i can Save & Exit - all i can do is Exit Without Save - i sort of feel snookered at the moment.
Toshiba got back to me today and said that i have tried everything they would have (yeah for sure) and to take my machine into a service centre for a hardware check - yeah right on boys!
Check out this guys post below found on Kioskea.net - getting close to a year ago...

Hi there, I was hoping that you might be able to help me with the problem that I seem to be having with my Toshiba Satellite Laptop Keyboard too. For a few days now I havent been able to use a few of the keys on my keyboard, including (1) delete (the backspace key is still working though), (2) colon/semicolon, (3) apostrophe/quotation marks and (4) end (the home and PgUp and PgDn keys are still working though). Any suggestions?
Identical to my problem....obviously this guy had the same problem as well...see below - same thread.
yab - Feb 9, 2010 4:47am GMT
hi did you ever figure this out? i have the same exact problem...
However, i was not able to solve my problem the way this guy did - my scroll lock is not activated - it seems to work ok (on and off) i tested it using Excel to move around the cells.
yab ms ml - Feb 9, 2010 7:57am GMT
Nevermind. For me it was scroll lock. My apostrophe, semicolon, and delete keys are alive and working again. I hope you have the same easy fix.
Incidently - never hear from the first guy again - probably ended up being his scroll lock.
all sugestions welcome - sorry my smily face has no eyes -) guess why!

I just purchased a new wired keyboard for imac and brightness and volume control keys not working . i have tried adjusting keyboard settings. I have software version 10.5.8. Do I need to upgrade software. Thank you for any help.

Do you have "Automatically Adjust Brightness" check box ticked in System Preferences > Displays > Display ? If so, you can't manually adjust brightness.
