Satellite A50-112: F1 key not work for entering Bios

my toshiba Satellite SA50-112 not entering into BIOS or CMOS setup because of F1 key is not functioning what i can do for changing the boot sequence to CDROM by alternative way.
please help us to work better

There are THREE ways to make your notebook boot from CD:
1) You can adjust the BIOS setting by entering into it with the key "ESC" (not F1 as you said before)
2) You can boot directly on CD by holding down the key "C" during starup
3) You can make the "Select Boot device menu" appear by holding down the "F12" key.
All above key combinations work DURING STARTUP of your notebook only. Therefor try your timing ;)
Good luck :)

  • 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

  • Keyboard Satellite 3000-214 - Ctrl-key not working

    Hi,
    I've started my old Satellite 3000-214 Notebook and suddenly my Ctrl-key did not work anymore.
    I've already tried to clean the keyboard by unmounting all keys from it and cleaning the foils, without success.
    Can anyone tell me where I can get a suitable keyboard from (I live in germany)?
    Does it has to be an original Toshiba keyboard or can it be from an other manufacturer?
    How can I remove the keyboard from the laptop? Do I have to open the case or is it possible to get it out with a screwdriver or something?
    Thx for any hint!
    Best regards.
    Ting

    Hi
    You should use the original Toshiba keyboard which is supported and compatible with this notebook.
    All parts and devices you can purchase from the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country. The full database with worldwide ASP you can find on the Toshiba European support page.
    Usually if you want to remove the keyboard you have to remove firstly the thin cover above the keyboard.
    There you will find two screws which secure the keyboard. After removing of these two screws you will be able to put out the keyboard.
    But be careful; the keyboard is connected with the flat cable to the motherboard.

  • Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key not working after clean install of Windows 7

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8820. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7. I have loaded the Toshiba value added driver pack and the trackpad driver but still cannot get the trackpad or the FN key to work.
    Any ideas?

    Hello John
    You are like other millions other users and what you can read is relevant for you but sometimes it works a little bit different. For you it can be useless but sometimes it helps. Fact is that this utility is offered for some notebook models.
    Generally speaking you are right and after VAP installation the job should be done but Ive faced the same problem in the past. Sometimes it works well and sometimes not. You will not believe me but in the past I used stuff for Satellite P300 to get all stuff working on Satellite A350. I cannot explain why this happen and it sounds crazy but it is the truth.
    You can also try to play a little bit with VAP installation. Try to install VAP for A300/A350/P300. Generally speaking it is the same and if this will not work well you can remove it from the system.
    Launcher for flash cards? It must be listed in MSCONFIG > startup > TcrdMain.exe

  • Toshiba Satellite C850-F12S Function Keys not working

    I recently formatted my laptop after the OS was corrupted by a virus and reinstalled windows 7 but now my Function keys that enable me to adjust brightness, volume and turn on wireless are not functioning, They only work when in BIOS setup and even when I tried to enable them to be standard F1-12 or special function keys they still dont work after starting windows. This computer has no flash cards for toshiba and i dont know which drivers to look for for this specific model. I also lost toshiba eco-utility and its player. How do i get all this back without losing my data?I have partitioned my hard disk.

    Hi Eldorado
    Thanks for your suggestion. Have done as you said but still have the problem.
    I've managed to get rid of the TouchED error dialogue by uninstalling the Touchpad on/off utility, but I can't get the function keys to work again. The problem appears to be that the Common Modules drivers are not reinstalling properly - the software (thotkey.exe) that operates these has to be within this. I have tried extracting the cab files for the Common Modules but nothing with let me into Toshiba's cab files to see if they are there so that I can copy them across manually.
    I can live without the function keys on my machine, but this is a pain - especially when I'm sure the problem has a simple solution.
    Cheers

  • 'F11 key not working for reimaging hard drive on X201

    Hello to all,
    I I am having an issue with F11 key when booting up to engage in a recovery of factory partition of Windows 7 as it was shipped from factory, or as Lenovo calls it, Q drive. It is basically an image of Windows for reinstalling as was.
    For some reason unknown to me, it will not work. I get no response.  Can anyone suggest a way to either get my F11 key to bring up the desired screens for a new image procedure, or any workarounds to this? I cannot access this through ThinkVantage either, which is a Lenovo help program. I have not reinstalled any new OS, nor have I reinstalled any previous versions of images of same OS. I have the x64 version.
    I guess I could contact Lenovo and buy a new set of disks to do this, but it is too much money right now without trying something first.
    I really need to reimage my laptop, as my Windows 7 pro has some serious issues that only a new installation (or new image in this case) will solve. Any and all answers will be greatly appreciated, and yes, the Q drive is showing up in Disk Management as around 6 or 7 GB, yet I have no idea of how to initiate this process at bootup.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi greg30,
    it's possible that the F11 function has been corrupted, to check could you try the following please;  from a totally shut down state start the system and you should see a message stating "To interrupt normal start up........." do you see this message?
    If you do see the message it should be telling you to press the blue ThinkVantage button which is at the rear left side of the keyboard.  When you press the button it should then offer you a menu with different options including F1 for BIOS, F12 for boot menu and F11 to recover system.  If when you press the blue ThinkVantage button does it offer you the F11 option?
    Regarding creating recovery discs.  In Windows could  you take a look to see if you have the following or similar, (working from memory here),  hopefully similar to;  Start > Programs > Lenovo ThinkVantage (Tools / Technology) [or similar] > Create Recovery Media.
    Using Acronis to clone the drive will only give you what you have; something may be missing from the boot sector if the above doesn't help.  It may be possible to repair the boot sector which could be tried if all of the above fails, but I confess to never having had to do so.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - some keys not working with new keyboard

    i fitted into my other A10 and all keys work so keyboard is fine.
    All works ok with usb keyboard. Had motherboard out all seems ok.
    Any help plz
    chris....

    Hi
    Why do you think that the motherboard is ok?
    Maybe its a keyboard controller issue
    Did you check if the cable was connected properly?
    In my opinion if you are 100% sure that the keyboard is ok then the issue must be related to the motherboard because there is no other part which is placed between the keyboard and mobo.
    Bye

  • Re: Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key not working after clean install of Windows 7

    I have a problem with a Satellite A210-103. After installation of Toshiba Value Added Package (Flash Cards Support Utility not available for A210), reboot, restarting Toshiba Flash Cards and pressing the FN key several times the problem still exists.
    It must have other reasons why so many user have problems with the FN keys.
    John

    I have searched for A200 and A210 in the Toshiba sections of Equium, Satego, Satellite and Satellite Pro but their are no Flash card support utility. In the details of the "Value added package" are the words:
    "TOSHIBA Flash Cards provides the Hotkey function and the launcher function that starts the Hotkey function and launches the other TOSHIBA utilities"
    So I think it's useless to search for this utility. It's more important for me to know which files (like name of the launcher program) must be started to use the FN keys.

  • Why does clicking the reload icon and F5 key not work for certain pages. Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated. :)

    Cliffs:
    -Open new tabs from original page.
    -Clicking reload icon or hitting F5 will not work on new tabs, but works on original page.
    -Can "right click" reload tab or all tabs, but reload icon and F5 won't work.
    -Been using FF3.6 for months, never a problem. Just started happening 2 days ago. Updated to FF4, but problem still remains.

  • Serial Key not working for Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium

    I have the serial key for my Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium that I bought in 2011 on my account page. However, when I put the serial number in the installer, it says "This serial number is not valid for this product."
    I just want access to the product I bought. Can anybody help me?

    Are you definitely installing Design Premium CS5, not a similar sounding Creative Suite? And not CS5.5?

  • Shift key not working for some letters

    Hello!
    i just got a new MacBook and just figured out that certain that the left shift key doesn't work for the top row of letters. That is q,w,e,r,t,y,u,i,o. The right bracket doesn't work with either shift key.
    After reading about the possible influence of Sound, I looked there and didn't see any conflicts.
    Is my only solution Apple? Or is there something else I can try?
    Thanks.

    yeah, the same thing is happening with me, but this time only with Shift + s.

  • Satellite A350-214 media keys not working

    After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 the feather touch media keys are not working.The bluetooth perpheral device drivers are also missing.Pl help...

    Try downloading the Windows 7 drivers.  You can get them from here:
    http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/download/Satellite_A350_32_cae.htm
    The buttons are controlled by Toshiba Value added software.  There is a bluetooth stack you may need to install.  You may want to add the rest of the windows 7 drivers.  The display and sound drivers will give you additional HDMI support that the native driver does not support.
    Good luck

  • Satellite A200-PSAE6E - FN key not working on Vista 32bit

    Hi all
    I can't get the FN key to work, no matter how many times I reinstall Toshiba software, it just doesn't seem to work!
    Anyone got a workaround?
    I'm using Bios 2.40, and Vista 32bit

    Hi
    If you installed your OS manually the right installation order is necessary to get all Toshiba tools and notebook features working.
    Please follow the installation instruction which can be found in the installation instruction txt file.
    On the Toshiba European driver page you will find also the *Flash Card Support Utility 1.49.0.2C*. It is needed to use the Toshiba Flash Cards (FN + F* Keys).
    Additionally the VAP must be installed too

  • Portege R100 and Linux - Function Keys Not Working and Latest BIOS?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Portege R100 (PPR10L-13G10P). I'm trying to install Linux and when attempting to access the function keys (F6) the computer doesn't allow me to... any ideas why?
    Also what is the latest BIOS version for this computer? And where can it be downloaded?
    Thanks in advance!
    Terrence

    Hi
    At first I must say that Toshiba doesn't support Linux in general so you are alone with this problem.
    Hopefully someone will be able to assist you a bit.
    If you want to find out the latest BIOS version just enter BIOS settings and check it out.
    Newer BIOS version will not help you at all so my opinion is that you should not change anything.
    Anyway, bio download page is - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp
    F keys functionality is on Windows supported by special designed tool and it works under Windows only.
