Some of X301's hotkeys are not working

All Lenovo and Vista updates are installed.
No special software installed only: MS Office 2007 Prof, PGP Desktop, Symantec security, Nokia PC Suite.
Symptom: as I see, only the "hardware" hotkeys are working, see below:
ThinkVantage NO
Fn+F2 NO
Fn+F3 NO
Fn+F4  OK
Fn+F5 NO
Fn+F7 NO
Fn+F8 NO
Fn+F9 NO
Fn+F12 NO
Fn+SysRq not tested
Fn+NmLk OK
Fn+Break not tested
Fn+Home OK
Fn+End OK
Fn+PgUp OK
Fn+Space OK
Fn+UP OK
Fn+Down OK
Fn+Left OK
Fn!Right OK
 I've tried to remove and reinstall various thinkpad software and driver, but keys are not working.
ThinkPad Power Management driver and OnScreen Display Utility is installed.
Components in "c:\Program Files\Lenovo\HOTKEY" are available, and they are working if I start them manually.
Folder "c:\Program Files\Lenovo\PkgMgr\HOTKEY" and "c:\Program Files\Lenovo\PkgMgr\HOTKEY_1" are empty.
Hotkey setting are Ok, for example in the Power Managment modul the option to use Fn+F3 are set. 

hael,
To be sure, is the latest Hotkey driver installed on your X301?...I mean, other than knowing that there is a hotkey folder present on your system, have you tried to install the driver manually?
Thank you

  • Some keys on the keyboard are not working on my Qosmio F60

    Hi,
    I had my laptop 2 years now and never had any problems before but recently some of the keys on my laptop keyborad are not working like fn key, i, e, r, t, y, u, ,i, o, = etc. Curently I am using an external keyborad to overcome this problem. I did a complete reinstall but problem still persits.
    Can you please suggest where the problem might be. It is very confusing as some keys are working fine but some are not.
    Regards,
    Abhi89

    >Can you please suggest where the problem might be.
    In my opinion problem is defective keyboard. As you can see complete OS reinstallation didnt change anything. It must be hardware related issue.
    Sorry but I think keyboard must be replaced.

  • Will not open link in new tabs, some of my add ons are not working properly

    I am using Firefox 3.6.6
    My add ons, such as Gmail Notifier and Forecast Fox are not showing up on the bottom, but they are all enabled and updated. Also, when right click and select Open Link in New Tab, it opens an Untitled tab.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I'm not sure when

    The current version of Greasemonkey is compatible with Firefox 29. Could you check to make sure it is not turned off? There should be a "monkey" icon on the toolbar. Clicking that icon turns Greasemonkey on and off; the "off" state is designated by a faded icon, while the "on" state has a full-colored icon.
    More generally, could you check for possible extension updates and disable unimportant extensions in case one of those conflicts with Firefox?
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, look for the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
    I also suggest disabling any extensions you won't be using for the next 24 hours so that you can test whether that improves Firefox's functioning.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any difference?
    One possible reason for hangs, especially where you eventually get a dialog indicating that a script is running slowly, is Flash. To minimize sites from using Flash unnecessarily, try setting Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate"). This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it.
    On the Add-ons page, in the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
    Any noticeable difference?

  • Some keys are not working

    I have HP pavilion notebook PC with product number F6C53PA#ACJ serial number [Personal Information Removed] BIOS F.34-10/31/2013 keyboard revision 29.34.
    Some keys in my keyboard are not working properly. I couldn't type < and > in microsoft office, on the websites etc.
     

    Hi there
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that some keys are not working on your keyboard. I am happy to help with this. Are those keys working consistently in some applications? For now I would suggest you look at it as a cleaning issue. Perhaps some dust or debris is affecting the key presses.

  • Updated my IOS 7 now some of my games are not work, how can I fix this problem?

    I have updated my Ipad to the IOS 7 and now some of my games/apps are not working, how can i fix this or revert back to what I had before?

    I'm afraid you'll have to wait until both Apple and the makers of your games/apps upgrade to new versions.
    Apparently there are still some issues with iOS7 that are being dealt with and the same with some apps.
    As for going back, I don't think you will be able to get this information from these forums...

  • Lenovo Notebook Essential B570e2 some keys are not working

    hi can you please help me?  I have a Lenovo Notebook Essential B570e2 and its driving me crazy. it has got a bunch of problems but right now the most important problem is that some keys of the keyboard are not working. so im writing this all using on-screen keyboard, its very frustrating and annoying. the keyboard just started messing up all in a sudden a few hours ago. i dont think its because of dirt beneath the keys because yesterday i was watching a video online and typing on the keyboard at the same time. and the sound of the video would extend/freeze some times when i was pressing a key. not sure how to describe it. can someone please help me? thank you!

    Hi renanc93,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that the Keyboard keys are not working as expected in your B570 Laptop, below are the steps to check the issue in the computer:
    Remove the battery and any other peripheral device connected to the computer. Hold the power button for 10 seconds and then connect only the AC Adapter and try to turn ON the computer.
    Check if the issue is same in “Safe Mode” – Restart the computer keep tapping “F8” key before the Lenovo Logo appears and select “Safe Mode”.
    Also check if any external Keyboard is working as expected with the Laptop if it is working fine, the issue is Hardware related, I would Strongly Suggest Calling Technical Support for Assistance as the issue may be hardware related. Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
    Hope this helps!!!
    Do post us back if the issue still persists.
    Best Regards
    Shiva Kumar

    in production environement.
    Regards,,

    Hi,
    Based on the error message, it is related to the item in your production environment, then the workflow will occur exception.
    As your workflow worked perfectly in your other environments, I suggest you can check if some item has is valid in the document library.
    You can try to use Fiddler to track the web request and find in which item the workflow occurs exception.
    Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

  • Some amixer-commands are not working.

    Hello, some of the commands of amixer are not working for me, e.g. "amixer set PCM toggle" or "amixer set PCM mute". But other commands like "amixer set PCM 100%+" work fine. How can I change this? Especially I want to use the toggle-command for the hotkey on my laptop.

  • Some of the shortcut keys and directional keys on the keyboard are not working in FF 4 RC1 (i.e. Tab, Ctrl+C, arrow keys). They work fin in FF 3.6x and other applications.

    Crtl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Tab, and arrow keys do not work at all in FF4.0b13 and later. I am not sure about earlier versions as this is the first version I have tried.

    I found this helpful article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1381) and worked my way through the section "Some keys don't work as expected".
    All the following functions/settings are disabled or turned off:
    Text to speech / Speak selected text when the key is pressed
    Slow Keys
    Mouse Keys.
    The keyboard viewer just confirms my list of keys that are not working.
    Starting in safe mode makes no difference; nor does booting from the Mac OS X Install Disc and running Terminal from the Utilities menu. The same keys as before fail to work.
    This seems to confirm that it's a hardware issue. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

    Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
    In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
    I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

    We're sorry.
    We can't find the article you're looking for.
    Please return to the Apple Support homepage.
    Sigh.

    I also got Motion and can't figure out how to use it with Final Cut Pro X. Any help woud be great. Thanks

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.
