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 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.

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.

Skype does not recognize my headset after Windows 10 upgrade

Hi everyoneSkype stopped recognizing my headset after Windows 10 upgrade. I've tried the solution deactivating the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" option. No success. The headset works on my other Windows 8.1 laptop and my Cellphone. Other applications, including Windows 10 microphone setup for speech recognition work. Here is something strange though. When I open up Skype audio tools and tap the microphone between thumb/finger Skype detects this and shows 4/5 green bars. Any ideas?
Voiceless in Vancouver

Your upgrade haven't changed the drivers properly.
1. Just go to Device Manager and delete the audio drivers.
2. Then restart your pc and switch on the internet.
3. Your drivers will be automatically installed by Windows Update.

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!

Fn key not working at all (in 10.4.11 and XP)

Hello my fn key doesn't work at all, there is no difference whether I press it or not and with that none of my function keys e.g. for brightness or volume control work at all either.
I am on the latest software updates. Have VMWare installed for XP, but even there the fn button appears as it would not exist.
Also what's strange is that in OSX preferences in the Mouse and Keyboard section, there is no tab for my trackpad, even though it works fine. As there is no tab I can't e.g. set the feature for right clicking with the two fingers on the trackpad...
Is this a hardware issue or some strange software issue?
Thanks!

Should the multitouch etc. generally work with 10.4.11 or do I need 10.5.x for the Trackpad tab to show up in the preferences - Mouse & Keyboard section?
Thanks!

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 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 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:

Hi B Noir,
I recently had to do a System Restore on my Windows 7 64 bit machine and then I got the dreaded "Safari has stopped working" windows whenever I try to launch it. To be more specific, Safari, doesn't even launch. I get that message. Then when I click "Close the program", I get the "Safari has stopped working" message again. After I close that, then it stops.
I've tried reinstalling the latest version of Safari twice now, and it still isn't working.
I also tried creating another Windows account, and Safari does not work on the new account either, unfortunately.
Finally, I also tried your "So-much-for-subtlety" instructions and that unfortunately did not work.
Any ideas? If it helps, here's the problem signature from when I get the "Safari has stopped working window":

Music not working on iPhone after iOS 5 upgrade

Hi all,
Apparently I spoke too soon- To review, ever since I upgraded to iOS 5, the iPod functionality of my iPhone (ie all of my music) doesn't function. It worked for the first day or so, then when I tried to start the app, it would present with a blank white screen for about 10 seconds, then just quit. I've restarted, reset, and restored, and the only thing that helped was restoring (I've restored about 4 times now). It would then work for about a day, then not work again. I eventually got tired of restoring, and just 'unsynced' my music, then resynced again. That would again work for about a day, then I'd have to repeat that process. Now, not even resyncing my music works.
Otherwise the phone seems to be working well- no other app issues or usage issues. I'd occasionally get an error (-34) or (-50) while syncing, but I'd just 'eject' the phone, and reattach and it would sync.
I'm using iCloud for backup, and I'm syncing wirelessly, unless I restore or unsync my music, at which time I'll hook it directly to the computer.
Any suggestions?
John

Sorry, but no suggestions....I have the same problem I think... my music app just goes to a white screen then back to the home page. if i search for a song it will find it, but when i try to play it, i get a black scrren, then just back to home page. the app has worked a lot, but this has happened a few times prior and has resolved itself (not sure how), but now i can't get my music to work at all. video, everything else works...this is on iphone4s with ios 5.0.1. there's a definite bug here and hopefully enough people will complain about it to get apple to fix it! I get the feeling it has something to do with a large music library (I have 46GB) and large/complex playlists. I also seem to have a syncing problem in that music rating changes made on iphone don't get syncd back to by windows pc library. I noticed this just before the music app stopped working completely. Apple.. please help!

Iball Usb modem(dongle) not working on g510 after windows 10 installation

Hi to all, I have just joined the forum to take some help from u people. I have a G510, on which i have just upgraded the OS from windows 8.1 to 10. After upgrading, some issues came like hdmi cable not working, external hard disk not detecting, etc., which with installation of drivers from lenovo website just went away. But still there is a problem of not connecting of my iball airway 21.0 Mp-58 3g usb modem with the lappy. The message coming while installation is "633The modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is not configured properly". I have written to iball customer care for providing supporting driver for windows 10, but apart from them, if anybody else knows the way out, kindly share that to me. Thanks and regardsVirendra
