Satellite Pro L870 - 17x || fn keys are messed up

I recently used system restore to resore my laptop back to its factory setting.
The problem I have is whenever I hold the fn key and f1 - f12 keys, nothing happens. When I release the fn key, the f1 - f12 buttons do the command they were supposed to do while I held fn. This makes it incredibly annoying for me, as I am used to using alt f4 to close my current windows, instead the second screen window pops up. It lets me close the window if I'm also holding fn, but that is a little impractical.
I tried to follow some different instructions from other threads, which tell me to got to Start>All Programs>TOSHIBA>Utilities
I just cant get to the Utilities part because there is no option for Utilities. The only thing in the TOSHIBA folder is Toshiba TEMPRO and User's Manual.
The problem started immediately after I had restored my laptop.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thank you in advance

It sounds to me like the Fx keys would do those things without the Fn key. To change that UEFI setting, go to the Keyboard tab in System Settings. See the section Function Keys mode at the bottom of p. 5-12 in the User's Manual (attached).

Satellite Pro A120-10W - Function keys not working since hard drive wipe

Hello,
I have a Satellite Pro A120-10W running Windows XP Pro SP3, and have just had my hard drive wiped, because of viruses. Everything seems to work fine, but I cant use the function keys to change the brightness etc. I have looked at various help forums however most seem to give answers for Windows 7 or vista. 7
Can someone help please?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
As you can see in other threads, you need special drivers/tools for FN keys to get them working because there is no Windows standard driver for these keys.
Anyway, you have to download Common Modules as Akuma wrote. After installation the keys should start working again.
You can download the tools on official Toshiba website.
If you have problems with installation or it was successful, just post some feedback. ;)

HP Pavilion DV7-6163us Entertainment PC: 2wsx keys are messed up and don't work most of the time.

I have a HP dv7-6163us Entertainment PC. Here are the specs= http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c02863099&lc=en&product=5141405
Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Core i7
Hello! I have a problem that just started yesterday where my 2wsx keys have started to not respond at all some times. They sometimes don't respond, and though they work sometimes, it can be annoying while I am playing a game or typing a document. Interestingly, if I try to push the "wsx" keys all at once while they aren't working, they begin to work again. But only for a short amount of time.
I have some guesses at why this is happening:
Motherboard issue, seems the keys are in a row maybe meaning that the wires on the motherboard are all connected.
Keys are broke. Doubt it though as they seem to look fine.
Maybe a overheat on the motherboard? I don't know, but the fan is right below these keys.
Thanks! If link doesn't work I am reposting the link.

Hi,
You are very welcome. Yes, I wanted you to try the steps in the section which says "Keyboard is not working". I wanted you to try setting BIOS to defaults and uninstalling the Keyboard driver and restarting the Notebook to re-install them automatically. If you have already tried them let's go ahead and perform a BIOS Update on the Notebook.
For doing that I would like to know whether the Windows 7 OS on your Notebook is 32 bit or 64 Bit.
I am waiting to hear back from you.

Will the Apple Genius Bar take my MacBook Pro if the keys are messed up?

I got my MacBook Pro a couple of weeks ago and its still under warrenty. A frew weeks ago, I got some weird yellow stuff on my keys. I tried to get the stuff out but i eventually broke the keys. Will apple now take my MacBook Pro?

Yes, they will. But they will state that the problem was caused by misuse and not covered by warranty. Then they will offer to repair it The Official Way by replacing the entire topcase, to the tune of $700-$900 out of your pocket. Oh, WAIT! I'ts a Retina. Scratch that, think about $1500-$2000.
If the "yellow stuff" did not trickle down into the guts of the Mac and it still works, note that replacement keycaps can be had at https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/
And I will do my best to not imagine the nature of the yellow stuff and how it came to be spurted on the suffering keyboard.......

Satellite Pro M - F5 Function Key no longer working

Hello all,
I have had many happy years using my Toshiba laptop without problem. The operating system is Vista Home Plus.
About a year ago, my son dropped the machine, which resulted in the display cracking. In order to keep using it I plugged in a spare mouse and keyboard, and linked it up to a flat bed monitor.
Using Fn+F5, it has worked perfectly as a defacto desktop for ages until relatively recently: the cable linking the laptop and the monitor became detached which resulted in the monitor going into sleep mode. When reattached, the display did not return and I have had persistent problems ever since. Using the F5 key now has no effect.
Points of note
- as the machine powers up, the external monitor displays the usual text, but when the Windows logo appears, it reverts to sleep mode and the laptop continues to boot up cleanly.
- when I boot up in safe mode the F5 key functions perfectly
- I have cured the proble previously by booting up in safe mode and restoring back to to a checkpoint taken a few days prior. This is a temporary fix, as whenever the machine is powered down it reoccurs. What is interesting though is that there always seems to have been a recent Windows Automatic update downloaded when I look at the list of recent system checkpoints and what triggered them!
Getting thoroughly fed up with the whole thing now. Any help very much appreciated.
CB

Hi
Its really not easy to say what the reason is for this problem but it would be interesting to know what notebook you have exactly.
Can you add this information, please?
Anyway, at the moment I would recommend to update the display driver and BIOS. Both you can find on the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Before you start the BIOS update close all running background programs, also your antivirus and firewall. You should be logged in as administrator.
Furthermore I would recommend removing the old display driver before you install the newest one. After removing restart the notebook and clean it using CCleaner. Restart again and install the newest version.
I hope this can solve your issue and by the way: Have you installed SP for Vista?

Satellite A300-1J1 - Some FN keys are not working

My FN key seems to have half broken.
When I press it usually the icons would appear on top of my screen now it doesnt and all the function keys like F1 F2 F3 etc work with the FN key except F4 which hibernates the computer, also the light turn on underneath F10 if that helps.
Can someone tell me how to resolve this?
Thanks

Hi
What OS do you use?
I doubt that this is a hardware issue because FN+F4 works and put the computer in hibernate mode.
If you use Vista you should reinstall the Toshiba Value Added Package.
If you use XP you should reinstall the Hotkey utilite.

Satellite Pro L870-149 - Toshiba Blu Ray Player query

Good afternoon.
I bought the above laptop about a month ago and have just tried playing a Bluray disc for the first time using it's built-in Bluray drive but nothing plays.
By default the drive autoruns the built-in Toshiba Blu Ray Player which does load up successfully. However nothing happens when I hit play, I cannot see a list of chapters and I cannot load up any menus relating to the disc itself.
The disc can be navigated in Windows Explorer and there are no marks on the disc itself (it is a brand new, shop-bought disc) but I do not have any other BluRay discs I can use to check whether it is the disc or the player.
Does the built-in player or the drive itself have any restrictions on playing shop-bought BluRay discs?
I should also note that I have ensured I have selected the correct region during the initial set-up of the player.
Many thanks in advance.
Simon

> Does the built-in player or the drive itself have any restrictions on playing shop-bought BluRay discs?
As far as I know there are no restrictions to play the original BR disks
I would recommend checking the Toshiba EU driver page.
There seems to be a new version of this software v1.0.3.63
But if you have no problems using the Cyberlink PowerDVD so I would not be really worried about this tiny issue

I have Late 2011 Macbook Pro and zxcv keys are not working?

I have late 2011 Macbook Pro and the zxcv keys are no longer working. Once I connect USB keyboard I can utilize these keys. Do anyone have solution?

How did you try to use Acitivty Monitor?
Open Activity Monitor, choose "All processes" from the list, and sort processes by CPU usage. More likely than not, there will be task using up good bit of CPU.
You could also try resetting SMC:

Satellite Pro A200: XP + Vista installed/dual boot possible?

Hi,
I am not sure if I am right here at XP OS but I post it as it is OS related.
My Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7) runs smoothly with XP but I want to create a sandbox (partition) for/with Vista.
Basically I know that it is possible to run XP and Vista on one system. *But*, Satellite Pro A200 notebooks are shipped with a BIOS for XP and one for Vista and with information that you have to install the correct one. For me this means that you have to install BIOS for XP when running XP and BIOS for Vista when running Vista.
Question:
Is it possible to install Vista on a Satellite Pro A200 with XP as main OS and having so XP BIOS installed?
Boot loader would be Acronis OSS as this loader already manage my two XP partitions.
Many thanks for any information!
Best regards,
Andreas

Hi
In my opinion there are no serious reasons why you shouldnt be able to use Xp and Vista on your Satellite Pro A200.
Ok there are different BIOS for Vista 64bit, 32bit and Win XP but your Vista should run also using the BIOS for Win XP.
Ive got other Satellite notebook series and Im able to use XP and Vista at the same time. I mean Ive got a choice to boot either the XP or Vista ;) and Im still using the old BIOS version.
Ok some functions are not available like FN keys but this is not very important for me.
Well, to cut this story I think you can use Vista and XP without changing the BIOS ;)

Satellite Pro A10 - need some info about RAM upgrade

Dear Fourm members
In regard to the above machine : please can anyone advise :- how many memory slots does it have.
I think it is two but am not sure.
Also what max size memory module can we have in this laptop please.
If it is 2 @ 1gb per module, then we would have a total of 2gb.
Is the hard drive on this machine a standard laptop hard drive. Can I take the small 20gb one out and replace it with a larger one. eg 120 gb etc
Thank you so much for your help.
Ian

On satellite Pro A10 two memory slots are available. Notebook can handle with 1 GB RAM and you can use two compatible PC2100 512MB (PA3164U-1M51) modules.
This old machine uses 2,5 HDD with old IDE connector. I found some info that it was delivered with 20GB, 30GB and 40GB HDDs. I think you can upgrade it with HDD up to 100 GB but just be sure it has the same HDD connector.
If you have more questions you are welcome.
For more info post exact model number please.

What CPU would work on Satellite Pro A300-2C2

I know far more about desktop computers than I do laptop computers,
However last night my laptop completely froze and held the current sound (making a kind of buzzing sound).
I thought nothing of it at the time however it wasn't coming responsive again so I held down the power button and went to sleep. When I awoke this morning I booted up my laptop, but it did not boot.
The motherboard is not broken as it is givin power to lights and disc drives ect...
I am basically wondering what CPU's will work in the a300 2c2,
I HOPE it isn't soldered in but I have not confirmed that yet as I have to go out in a moment, thus I cannot open her up.
Thanks in advanced,
TheUnknown

> I am just wondering if you know if/where I can find a list of CPU's that were used in the A300 over time, I am thinking if they were compatable down the line mine should accept it, right?
Indeed, the usage of the same CPUs which were used previously in other Satellite Pro A300 should be possible.
I read somewhere in the internet that Toshiba Satellite A300 /Satellite Pro A300 and Equium A300 are similar series and used CPUs should be compatible.
The chipset seems to handle the Penryn and Merom CPUs.
_Penryn CPUs are:_
Intel Core2 Duo Processor (800MHz)
T8100 (2.20GHz) / T8300(2.40GHz)
T9300 (2.50Ghz) / T9500(2.60GHz)
_Merom CPUs are:_
Intel Core2 Duo CPU (800MHz)
T7800 2.6GHz
Intel Core2 Duo CPU (667MHz)
T5250 (1.50GHz) / T5450 (1.66GHz)
T5550 (1.83Ghz) / T5750(2.00GHz)
Intel Pentium Dual Core CPU (533MHz)
T2330 (1.60Ghz) / T2370(1.73GHz)
Intel Celeron CPU (533MHz)
540 (1.86GHz) / 550 (2.0GHz) / 560 (2.13GHz)

Satellite Pro L10-103 - USB ports not working

Hi, my Satellite Pro L10-103 USB Ports are not working. I've tried various things and lastly my advisor scrubbed my computer clean of all programmes and operating system. After reloading from the set up disk and having lost my some expensive programmes I am no further forward. Still not working.
Does anyone know if this means it is a mechanical problem with the computer? (I'm using Windows XP). Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Try please just to install chipset driver .

Satellite Pro C650 - arrow, slash, and z keys are not working

Can any one help - my slash keys, arrow keys, z and question marks have stopped working.
I have seen several other posts on various forums for exactly the same combination of keys.
I have a Satellite Pro C650.

Sounds like a keyboard malfunction.
Can you use the external USB keyboard properly?
If you did not notice the same problems using external keyboard, then I would recommend replacing the internal keyboard.

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.
