Satellite M70: Control button keys are not working

I currently reformatted my M70 to WinXp Pro Sp2, downloaded all related TOSHIBA drivers and related programs [ie. Toshiba control button driver / program] and system is running normal. However, CONTROL BUTTON keys are not working, was working fine with XP Home edition and Win Media but when I called Toshiba Support they couldn't help me because I had upgraded to Xp Pro. My Question is...Is there a fix or a solution to this issue and where can I download or find this fix.
Thanks
Emm

Hey Folks
Thanks for the advice, however, I did download the control driver and the controls program for the M70 model AND installed them in that order. The Controls Driver installs correctly but unfortunately, when installing the Controls Program, I get a message that the program will not install because it's not the right version for my M70-CL3 [PSM73C]. Not sure what to do here. I would think that everything should work properly seeing as taking the step up to XPPro SP2 isn't that far of a stretch.

Satellite A300 The Touch keys are not working since I got it

Hello!
My sister bought this amazing laptop for me and since the date that I got it (5 months ago) , I was not able to use the touch keys on the top of the keypad. At first, I thought I was doing something wrong and that I needed to activate the, but I read the whole manual and I couldn't get an option to activate it. I am using Windows Xp professional with service pack 3. Please help me as soon as possible. I listen to music a lot while I work with my computer and it would save me a lot of time to get those buttons to work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Thanks for your replies but in this case, it is not the Touch pad the one that it is not working. They are the touch keys that are on the top of the keypad on the right of the power on button. They are 6 of them. One seems to me for muting or unmuting the sound, other four are the regular play/pause, rewind, stops and forward button ant the other one has like the drawing of a music note. Do you know how to make them work?
Thanks
Denise

Satellite A305D - Some FN keys are not working

Hello
2 days ago FN keys on my notebook ceased to funtion properly, some of them work, such as Fn+F1,F6,F7, but others do not, such as Fn+F4, also when I pushed the key it used to appear a menu of every key.
I had some others problems so I deactivate everything using msconfig, restart the system and then reactivate as it was, it seems the fn hotkeys did not reactivate properly.
Thanks for any help

Hi
In such cases you should try to reinstall the drivers and tools responsible for this function keys.
Did you do that?
The Satellite A305D seems to be longs to the Toshiba US series.
I know this because of the 5 at the end of the notebook model.
So visit the Toshiba US page and check the driver page:

Hi,
While this could be a hardware issue, it's always worth trying the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand Keyboards, right click the entry 'Standard PS/2 Keyboard' and select Uninstall.
Shutdown the notebook.
Then unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 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 f9 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f5, 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 keys are not working correctly

I've been looking all over the various threads and I can't find an answer that solves my problem.
Here are the details:
I bought the computer in the U.S. where I live.
I have a iMac 2.4GHz intel Core 2 Duo EMC 2133 with a 20" screen. Bought it new in February 2008.
I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 (I am waiting for my order for OS Snow Leopard to come in!!)
I have been using a wireless mouse and Keyboard (Love not having cords!)
Recently, my wireless keyboard got a short and quit working. I went down to the apple store and got a new wireless keyboard.
I had the computer with me at the genius bar so, yes, the apple employee saw exactly what I have.
I took it all home got the thing all put back together and got the new keyboard paired up and working with the computer.
Here are the problems:
Went to go use the function keys while using iTunes and found they weren't working properly. The F10, F11 and F12 do not control the volume of sound as the keyboard indicates they would, they instead activate dashboard, spaces, and application windows.
Following the advice of other threads, I looked over in the system preferences and made sure the "Use all F1, F2 etc." box was unchecked (it was unchecked), things still didn't work.
I tried the fn key but it appears to not work at all it has no effect on the functioning of the function keys.
I went under keyboard shortcuts in system preferences and found the F10, F11 and F12 keys, it confirms that those keys control spaces, dashboard and application windows as they are performing but shows no options to either reassign to volume control (as marked on the keyboard) or make the fn key work.
I've gone back and forth trying various combinations of checked and unchecked boxes to see if anything would work, so far I've come up with nothing.
A couple more important or interesting facts:
Yes I have turned off and taken the batteries out of the old keyboard. My bluetooth connection currently shows it as disconnected.
I have restarted the computer.
One thing I find odd; when I go under preferences and go to Keyboard and Mouse when I go under the section "Bluetooth" it shows Bluetooth mouse with the name of the mouse and the battery level. BUT nothing is showing up under bluetooth Keyboard, I can't figure out how to change this and don't know if it is contributing to the problem.
When I go under the bluetooth logo on the top bar I find the mouse and both keyboards referenced, the old keyboard is shown as disconnected and the other two are connected. I have tried to update the device's name but it doesn't seem to let me.
I have double clicked on the device under bluetooth and it shows the new keyboard as discoverable, paired and connected. Hence, I am using the new keyboard to write this inquiry.
Please, any assistance would be of great help. I have tried to be thorough in order help narrow the possible problem. Thanks!!

Just thought I'd let you know. Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected. I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800. So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.

Re: Function keys are not working correctly

I am facing problem in playing yahoo pool in Firefox 4 while it was working fine in Firefox 3.6. In Firefox 4 the combination of mouse keys are not working properly.

I am facing problem in playing yahoo pool in Firefox 4 while it was working fine in Firefox 3.6. In Firefox 4 the combination of mouse keys are not working properly.

I updated to Firefox 4.01 today and the middle scroll button on my Lenovo T400 stopped working. I downloaded the updated Ultranav utility and the Ultranav driver for my T400 from here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-72858.html and then uninstalled the "Thinkpad Ultranav Driver" from Add/Remove programs rebooted and then installed the updated utility and driver (another reboot) and it now works perfectly.
So glad to get this working again.

Keyboard keys are not working

Im on mac OS X 10.6.8 several keyboard keys are not working. For instance the at symbol is not working or question mark and random other punctuation keys. The problem started after running some code from terminal to trun off mouse acceleration and then installing a plug-in to control more accurately the mouse funtions. Ive since uninstalled the plug in and disabled the adjustment in terminal. Ive checked all the normal keyboard funcions to make sure settings were not funky. When I log out and log in as a differnt user the problem with the keyboard is fixed. Someone please help
Code I ran

Hello lindzthecreator,
I suggest this part of the article named One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
All the very best,
Sterling

My Macbook Pro (bought in 2013) function keys are not working

My Macbook Pro (bought in 2013) function keys are not working. The function keys ie the volume and brightness are not working at all both with one single tap and with the function button. I have checked the settings for the keyboard but nothing seems to stand out that is making the keys not work?
Please can you help?
Thanks
Kat

Some might suggest resetting the SMC, but I don't really think that will solve the problem. You can try, though.
I would suggest, since you're still under warranty, taking your machine to your local Apple Store/AASP and letting them fix the problem. It could be any sort of hardware problem. Only the Apple techs have the tools to properly diagnose and repair the machine.

Mbp numerical keys are not working

my macbook pro was using last one year now the numerical keys are not working find a solution

It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
3. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
*Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

Keys are not working

my keys on my mac book pro are not working properly. the shift and control keys are not working and do not show up in the viewer.
any helpful hints on how to get them working?

seems like various different keyboard issues, requiring different solutions.
however, for what it is worth, I DID resolve a related issue. In my case, the problem was definitely SOFTWARE related. "s" key stopped working, as well as a couple of keys on "number pad", including "enter" key, etc.
when i did time machine backup and transferred to new computer, i found that the "s" key (and others) STILL NOT WORKING on new computer!
i should also note that, before the transfer, i had also tried different keyboards on old computer and had same problem: no "s" key, etc.
this made me think problem had to do with that old computer, since same problem with different keyboards. but, after problem remained after transfer, it was pretty obvious that I had transferred the problem to the new computer, which made me conclude the problem was SOFTWARE and NOT HARDWARE.
well, first thing i always try (as IT guy) is to set up and test new Apple user account. when i set up a new test account (administrator; not standard or guest, etc.), I noticed that the "s" key was WORKING (and I assume others - new keyboard was NOT extended; so no number pad to test those keys). When I logged back into the old account, once again, the "s" key not working.
i duplicated all of this testing on the new computer; so THE PROBLEM WAS DEFINITELY A SOFTWARE PROBLEM WITH THAT PARTICULAR USER ACCOUNT. I guess somehow an ACCOUNT can be specifically affected (corrupted) in some way that other accounts are NOT so affected.
Doubt if this would apply in case of UNRESPONSIVE KEYBOARD (which seems to usually be HARDWARE related); but in the case where only SELECTED KEYS are not working, you might want to simply try setting up a NEW USER ACCOUNT.
Unfortunately, Apple has NO easy way to transfer files between accounts. But, of course, I would likely NOT want to do that anyway, in this case, as I might end up transferring software problem to the new account. Therefore I DID have a bit of work to do, in terms of tranferring PICTURES and MUSIC to the new account from the old, etc. But that seemed minor compared to working on a computer with certain keys not functioning!
