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.
If you need help from an authorized service provider you can find a list here:

Good luck! :)<

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 question was solved.

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...

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?

Keys CTRL-SHIFT-EJECT puts screen to sleep, WI-FI too on ML!

Hello, i used to use CTRL-SHIFT-EJECT on my MBP mid 2009 with Lion to put my screen to sleep while downloading stuff or performing other things. After i upgraded to ML, with the same combination of keys, my wi-fi turns off too and as soon as i hit any key to turn the screen on, i can see my wi-fi icon connecting and after about 2-3 seconds i get back online. Is that a bug or supposed to be so?

up?
Anyone?

Satellite A200 - FN keys are not working

I have Satellite A200-1N2.
I setup fresh Vista ultimate 32bit because the last owner lost the device driver and all related disc to this laptop
So, i download all utility and driver from Toshiba site and install them i install and cofigure the toshiba Assist but i can't use volume key with Fn key and other too.
Please advice me
Thanks before

Hello Mona
It is not easy to say what is wrong there but to have well working OS with all Toshiba tools and utilities it is important to install all stuff following the right installations order. Please visit Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads and choose your notebook model PSAE3E and check Installations Instructions document.
Just install all listed stuff (available on download page) following exact installations order.
After doing this everything should work well.
Just one question: what do you mean with volume key with Fn? Do you mean MUTE option with FN+ESC?

ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint: Suggestion: Fn+Arrow keys as Page Up/Down/Home/End

As it is now, Fn + up/down/left/right do not send any keys to the OS. Would it be possible to update the keyboard firmware to send the following:
Fn-Up: Page up
Fn-Down: Page down
Fn-Left: Home
Fn-Right: End
I think this is common in laptop keyboards, i know my macbook air does this, and my logitech K760 does it as well. It is a lot more convenient than accessing the home/end keys on top of the keyboard (the page up/down placement is easily accessible already).
If it is not possible in the current version, at least consider it for the next revision - i would buy a new keyboard for it :-)

Yes, i realize it could be confusing for some to have two ways of accessing the same keys.
The issue i have with the thinkpad layout is that the keys are split apart - i like having page up/down and home/end clustered together for navigating - with the thinkpad layout, half the keys are in the lower half of the keyboard, and the other half in the top.
Also, since arrow keys are also often used for navigating, it makes sense to me to keep them together - for example, "go to the end of the line and select the last word" can be accomplished without moving the right hand from the arrow keys, and the left hand using Shift/Fn/Control

Terminal key mapping for control-arrow, home, end, etc.

This isn't exactly an "I need it now" kind of question, but in brief, what was Apple thinking when they set up the default behavior of ctrl-left-arrow, ctrl-right-arrow, home and end in Terminal?
I'm using OS X 10.4, with the default bash shell. I would like the above-mentioned keystrokes to act like they do in Windows, moving to the beginning and end of words and lines, respectively. I know a couple of ways to do this:
(1) use the Terminal -> Window Settings -> Keyboard window to remap these keys to send the strings (Esc,b), (Esc,f), ctrl-a and ctrl-e; or
(2) add entries to ~/.inputrc to remap Terminal's default strings for these keys to perform the desired action (see http://koorb.co.uk/scrapbook/ or http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050525040921189 ).
So, I'm pretty happy now. But I want to make sure I choose the "right" approach, so I want to know which of these approaches is more "normal." Or in other words, why didn't this work in the first place? Where did Terminal's default keystrokes (e.g., Esc,[5C for ctrl-right-arrow) come from? They just produce annoying beeps in bash. Are they standard sequences for some shell that I don't know about? If not, why did Apple pick these keystrokes, instead of using something like "ctrl-E" which would do something useful in bash, which is after all the default shell? I'm basically trying to decide whether I should fix Terminal or fix the shell to work the way I want.
On a related note, does anyone have any idea how I can get command-right-arrow and command-left-arrow to go to the beginning and end of a line in Terminal, instead of switching between Terminal windows?
Thanks for your help!

Somewhere deep in the bowels of computer history....for example
http://vt100.net/docs/vt100-ug/table3-6.html
http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/vtansi.htm#cursor
that is to say, these codes date back to early hardware terminals such as the VT100. I believe. And that is why Terminal is a member of a class of software called "terminal emulators".

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?

How to disable ctrl,shift while drag and drop

after starting the drag, i donnot want the user to change action with ctrl & shift. how can i do that?

The Error Console click is visible in Tools of FireFox 3.6.8. Against it is mentioned the shortcut key Ctrl+Shift+J. How can I do away with this shortcut key? If I want to see the Error Console, I can click at it. This shortcut key of FireFox is interfering with this very shortcut key on InfraWare Transcription Client 2009 on which I work online and which is set to run on Internet Explorer only.
I thank you for asking me to go through a whole gamut of an article on Key Configuration much of which is Greek to me. I am getting nowhere doing that.

Satellite A200 - Flashcards are not working

Greetings
I have a Satellite A200-1M5 PSAE0E runing on Windows vista home premium 32-bit. I accedently removed the bluetooth driver then re-installed it again but it disappeared from the flashcards (Fn+F8 toggels the wifi only).
I tried to re-install the bluetooth driver (bluetoth stack and bluetoth monitor) but nothing worked. I was advised my Microsoft team to un-install the flashcards and VAP and re-Install them again and I did, but unfrtunately the flashcards disappered but in the same time the functions are working (Fn+F2 changes the power plane Fn+F6 dims the screen backlight ) but the flashcards does not apears. I've re-installed the flashcards utilities, bluetooth monitor, bluetooth stack , extended tiles for windows mobility center and even the value added package but nothing is working yet.
I was wondering what should I do now?
Is there any way to turn on/0ff the flashcards ?

Hi faraferoo,
In which order you have reinstalled all tools and Bluetooth driver?
I have checked the Toshiba driver download page and for Satellite A200 I have founded the installation instructions document. This is a list for the recommended driver installation order.
So step by step: Now remove all Bluetooth stuff, Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility. Restart the notebook and clean Windows using CCleaner. Restart the notebook again. As you can see in installation instructions document you should install the tools in this order:
1)Bluetooth Stack
2)Bluetooth Monitor
3)Toshiba Value Added Package
4)Toshiba Flash Cards Support Utility
Please try it again with this order and post your result. It should work after this.

Satellite A200-13E - WXP downgrade

Hello,
I live in France and I bought Satellite A200-13E. Its an Vista Premium Home preinstalled notebook.
Can Toshiba give me the WXP recovery CD/DVD?
Thanks for your response.

Hi
It is question for Toshiba support directly. I do not believe that Toshiba offers WXP recovery medias for all Vista preinstalled notebooks. Best thing you can do is to contact Toshiba hotline or nearest authorized service provider. They have info about that.
If you need phone numbers visit http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Find an ASP.

Thanks

Add the key listener to the main Frame or main JPanel.

Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l nudge cursor

Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l produce cursor nudges.

It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...

Satellite A200-14D PSAECE - Fn keys not working & other function keys

Hello,
1) i am asking for your help about installing my Fn keys drivers for my Satellite A200 14 D PSAECE laptop.
My OS is Windows XP and i have Bitdefender Internet Security 2009 .
From the download page of Toshiba drivers i got all drivers for my laptop (36 of all - or close), but from the many Xp reinstalations i have done on my laptop, only one time all Fn keys worked when pressing Fn+key and the corresponding icons appeared on my display. I have read some forum topics and i understand there is a problem about the order in which i have to install them ( i already installed them all but it is not working ), so i need someone to tell me which are the drivers for Fn keys only and in which order to install. Please do not forget that i can deactivate my Bitdefender but not uninstall .
2) the same problem with the preset buttons above the keys - On-Off, Internet, Media Player, Play-Stop-Rewind, i need the exact driver and the order.
Thank you for your time :)
Sorry if this question is already answer in the forum somewhere, but i could not get this exact answer.

so i need to install every name of driver or utility that appears twice with the same name but made by different companies ?
I will write down how it is described in the text file with instalation instructions, then i will mark the ones that are available for dld with *"i have it"*, also the order that i will install will be the ascending order of numbers at the beginning of each driver/utility, the ones that do not appear in the dld page of Toshiba will be marked *"unavailable for dld"* . +Can you please check the order of ALL that are "i have it" and the ones with questions and confirm if the all drivers are prezent here with the correct order of instalation ?+ Thanks :)

Handling complex shortcut key like "ctrl+shift+x"

Hi,
In oracle forms, i want to trigger a button click on pressing "ctrl+shift+x" shortcut key. I could not able to do this with AccessKey. Is there any other way to do this ?
Thanx in Advance
Regards,
Saravanan A

You could map the ctrl-shift-x key to fire the key-f0 trigger.
The make the key-f0 trigger do the same functionality as clicking the button
This is not quite what you are asking for I know, but provides a similar result.
