Satellite A500-1GL - some single FN keys not working properly

hi
I have Toshiba Satellite A500-1GL, and i have a problem with the FN key (Actually not the FN key itself, its the other related keys, the keys that have the commands)
for example:
FN + ESC = Mute, and it work fine!
But.. FN + F8, should enable/disable the wireless, but its not !
here is a list of what is/not working:
FN + ESC: Mute {color:#008000}(Working){color}
FN + F1: Lock/Unlock windows {color:#008000}(Working){color}
FN + F2: Search {color:#ff0000}(Not Working){color}
FN + F3: Sleep {color:#008000}(Working){color}
FN + F4: Hibernate{color:#ff0000} (Not Working){color}
FN + F5: Screen Output Monitonr/Projector {color:#008000}(Workin){color}
FN + F6: Decrease the Brightness {color:#ff0000}(Not Working) {color}actually it increases the light!!
FN + F7: Increase the Brightness {color:#ff0000}(Not Working){color} it Decreases it! O_o
FN + F8: Turn the Wireless On/Off {color:#ff0000}(Not Working){color}
FN + F9: Enable/Disable the Touchpad {color:#ff0000}(Not working){color}
FN + Space: Zoom {color:#ff0000}(Not Working){color}
I tried to use the Toshiba Service Station to look for update, but i couldn't find any!
i would appreciate any help.
thanks in advance.
Cheers

Hi
You have to reinstall the Value Added Package and the Toshiba Flash Card Support Utility!
Firstly remove both software parts from system.
Reboot the unit and then install firstly the VAP and then Toshiba Flash Cards.

Single quote key not working

Ok, I have HP 2000 Notebook. the single quote key is working properly after I shut down my laptop a long time. then after a couple of minutes, the single quote key is not working. can anyone help me with this issue?

Hi,
Try the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand Keyboards, right click on Standard PS/2 Keyboard and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, shut down the notebook - if you're running Windows 8/8.1, do this by holding down the left Shift key as you click on Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot.
When done, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 20 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.

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

Windows 7 Brightness and Function key not Working Properly

i have HP 15-af024AU APU Quad Core A8-7410 - (4 GB DDR3,1 TB HDD) Noteboook and it came with windows 8.1 preinstalled than i installed windows 7 ultimate.

2. my Function key are not working properly . all key are fliped whiout holding function key it work as function key. 3. bluetooth is not working when i search for new device not able to find any available discouable bluetooth device. 4. wireless button software is not wokring in windows 7 i already updated my bios that available in drivers support and install alll drivers too properly so please give proper drivers for windows 7 for this product that works perfect.

Sorry that driver didn't work. You can try this graphics driver and if that doesn't work, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you with that issue. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp71253.exe As far as the Fn keys being 'flipped,' I have no idea what you mean by that, or what to do about it. Did you install the software that controls the funtion keys? This package contains the HP System Event Utility, which enables special function keys on supported notebook models to be programmed. For example, HP System Event Utility enables users to press the Fn+ESC keys to view system information. This software works with the supported operating systems. File name: sp71156.exe

Keyboard windows key not working properly

I am not able to navigate to start screen with regular windows key press. I need to press hard to navigate to the start screen. But other functions with windows key is working properly. For Eg: Windows Key + R is working properly with regular press. Please help.

Hello:
I do not know of a setting that would do that - especially intermittently.
I would suspect the KB is failing/has failed.

Key not working properly

I bought E-71 about one month back. I upgraded its software to 110.07.127. After this upgrade process, the keys are not working properly.
For example, the key titled '?' is not printing '?' while another key titled '.' is printing '?'. This problem is for the whole keypad.
FYI, my keypad also contains the Arabic letters. They are also not working after this upgrade.
Software upgrade is done from the following link: http://www.nokia.co.in/A4767968
Thanks a lot in advance for the kind support.

This has happened because your phone was most likely imported and modified before it was sold you you. Updating the firmware has reset it back to it's default configuration
You need to contact a nokia care point for help getting it back working properly. If the care point isn't an option visit the retailer where you purchased it.

Satellite C50-B-14Z - Wi-Fi does not work properly

I've bought my laptop 1 week ago (Satellite C50-B-14Z), but Wi-Fi is not working properly. Most of the time, it looks like it's connected to my network without any problem. However, It does not work, I can't surf the web.
The router is new and all the conection has been checked by a staff member from the internet company.
What can i do? All software is updated.
Thanks.

As mentioned by previous user; first of all you should check if the notebooks internet connection would work using the LAN.
In case you will be able to connect to internet using LAN, you should check the WLan settings.
For example: I would recommend you to disable the WLan encryption (within the router configuration menu) and to test the WLan connection to an open (not secured) wireless LAN.
Of course this should be done only for testing purposes.
In case the connection would work, test different kind of encryption (WPA/WPA2 AES TKIP)

Why are some of my keys not working when I put a bit of pressure on it?

Hi there, since 4 months ago I've noticed that my a, q, 1, backspace, and volume buttons do not work when theres a little bit of pressure on or under it. It kind of bothers me because I cant lay in bed and do my things, I have to put it on a table. So my question is, why is this and how can I fix this?
5 or more weeks ago, I can't remember, my keys did suddenly work when there was a bit of pressure on / under it, but I don't know how..
I'm running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4
Processor: 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memore: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Satellite C660-17L - Some TouchPad functions are not working

My touch pad functions are not working:
- I can't use it to scroll up and down
- I can't use it to zoom.
What should I do to fix it?

Yes the model number is Satellite C660-17L
And no I didn't install the touchpad driver.
I Have had this laptop for less than a month, I started it one day and tried to scroll but it didn't work.
Also i tried to search for the advanced settings under the mouse option but I couldn't find it.
When I enter the search directly into the search bar, the mouse option comes up but when I click on it, it asks me if I want to uninstall the synaptics driver.
I have no idea what this means but I click no and it comes up with all the mouse setting options.
What should I do now?

Function Keys not working properly after recent update today.
