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

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!

Neena,
Check the properties of casuser under Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Local Users and Groups > Users and make sure it is not disabled or locked out. The only thing checked should be "Password never expires". Change anything required and reset casuser.

Re: NB200-134 - FN key not working after upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate

My FN keys of NB200-134 is not working after upgrading from Windows 7 starter to Windows 7 ultimate. I tried installing every drivers found on Toshiba website for my lappy but still it does not work.
Help please

Hi asalamk,
The FN keys are controlled by Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility. I think you have forgotten to install these tools
You should check the Toshiba page again and download both tools. Start with installation of Value Added Package then restart your notebook. After this install Flash Cards Support Utility. Once again restart and all FN keys should work properly now.

7 u j m keys not working after 10.8.1 upgrade, late 2008 aluminum Macbook

That's all, these keys do not work after update/upgrade today. They were working fine right before i did the update and are not working now. If I hit the M ket a few times i do get some garbage. Help?

Thanks, but still the same. It boot normally only if there isn't any usb device attach to the computer. I'm using usb mouse instead of bluetooth mouse and it happens not to boot normally like usual.
The technician said it would be okay if any usb devices attach to the computer during the boot apparently it won't boot normally.
Any alternative sir?

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:

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 L870-165 does not work after being repaired by their service

Laptop Toshiba warranty does not work after being repaired by their service twice.
Model: Satellite L870-165
Computer will not boot, stays with black screen stating: No bootable device-Please restart your system
After reboot still happening the same.
I called Toshiba phone incident and after trying several options I said take him to repair the service.
They first told me it was the hard drive, then phoned me to indicate that reinstalling and finally it was the motherboard, which supposedly changed. The day after being picked computer repair returned to give exactly the same error, only malfunctioned one evening.
After another call to 902 the Toshiba warranty service, I went back to take the service, this time I changed the hard drive. When I got home the computer did not start even once, again gives the same error.
I believe that this team comes with a factory default so that its solution is not easy because even the technical service told me that I did not know what else to do with it.

>Computer will not boot, stays with black screen stating: No bootable device-Please restart your system
This message pops up because the notebook cannot find the Windows system.
There could be either an problem with the HDD or maybe the HDD is OK but the Windows system isnt preinstalled properly.
You said that the service agent changed the HDD. But did someone install the Windows system?
You can try to do it yourself take your recovery disk (hopefully you created such disk in the past) and boot from the recovery disk in order to install the system.
In case booting from the Disk would not be possible, go to BIOS (F2) and disable the secure boot and change from UEFI to CSM mode

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

Satellite A100-192 (PSAA9E) FN+F8 key not working after updating BT driver

I've just download the update for the Bluetooth driver "blt-mon-20071009150856" and install the "BtMon2Inst_v212" driver on my A100-192 (PSAA9E). after the installation of "Toshiba Bluetooth 4" driver the BT works fine.
BUT I can't use the wireless key (FN+F8) anymore to switch between Bluetooth and the Wireless device. I can disable/enable them only from the control panel or the ConfigFree utility.
Any idea how to bring the FN key back to life?
tnx.

>I have just check a strange thing - when the WLAN switch is off, if I press the FN+F8 it >DOES respond and telling me that "Wireless communication is disabled, Please turn on >the wireless communication switch" all the other FN keys works.
Described issue is definitely not strange. It is logic that you can not switch between WLAN/BT if the hardware is disabled. This function is the same for years and the same happen on all older notebooks.
I have two notebooks and both with WLAN/BT and if the WLAN driver and BT stack are preinstalled properly there should not be any problems. If the WLAN switch is set to ON you should be able to use both devices. Check also options in ConfigFree

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 A105 Shift Keys stop working after BIOS update

I have a stack of laptop boards from the A105 series (Intel chipset) that I received with bad BIOS's. Two worked, and I updated the BIOS's on them to fix CPU compatibility issues. After that, the shift keys stopped working, and pressing Shift-A causes the power light to dim. Reverting to ANY previous version BIOS, whether through the Windows program, CD, or Crisis Recovery floppy (magic key is "F", not "B", "Esc", or "U"), does not fix the keyboard problem.
To make things more confusing, I did notice that the one single BIOS that seems to actually correct the problem is version 1.50, which I haven't seen available for any Tecra A7 or Satellite A100/A105, except a couple A100's, but the BIOS file is much too small and can't be loaded.
Does anyone have any idea why these Intel-based boards are doing this? Or does anyone know where I can get a usable version 1.50 BIOS?
For the sake of this post, please consider my skill level to be high. (In other words, I would be thankful for people trying to help with "Replace the keyboard", but I have about a dozen keyboards, all of which I have tried, and all of which work on other laptops. Additionally, if you have just a theoretical solution, I'm definitely open to hearing it. Also, if a Toshiba tech would like to reply, I would very much appreciate it!)

Hi, thank you for your help.
Some motherboards were not in chassis when I got them. Is there a place the PSAAxx model number would be written on the boards?
Four PSAA8U (Two A105-S4334 and Two A105-S4014) - Intel Chipset, fingerprint reader. Tried BIOS Versions 1.40, 1.70, 2.00, 5.10, 5.60, 5.90, and 6.00. Shift keys do not work on either one.
Two PSAA2U (A105-S2091 and A105-S2031) - ATi Chipset. BIOS versions 1.50, 1.80, and 2.30. Keyboard works.
Another PSAA8U (A105-S4184) - Intel Chipset, no fingerprint reader. BIOS version 6.00. Keyboard works.
I noticed that so far all of the models with fingerprint readers have the problem. All of the ATi Chipset boards are working fine, but they have significant processor limits. I am in the middle of updating the BIOS in another Intel one using a Crisis Rescue Disc, so after that finishes I will try disconnecting the fingerprint reader to see if it has an effect.
I don't think the keyboard controller is faulty, because these boards all failed on the same day. I have tried updating the BIOS using WinPhlash, Phlash16 in DOS, the install CD, and a Crisis Recovery Disk. I set the defaults in the BIOS almost every time, and I also have tried holding the power button for 60 seconds with the power cord unplugged and the battery removed (as some people have suggested.)
The shift keys don't work in DOS, Linux, Windows, or even in the BIOS. I test it in the BIOS by using Tab to cycle through the fields in time of day, then Shift-Tab to cycle backwards. This works with a USB keyboard, and it also works on the ATi chipset models and the Intel chipset models that are still working.
Thank you for your reply. (-:
