T550 only some FN keys are working

Is there an area to manage FN keys on the newer T series laptops? I noticed when I got it that I could not use the hotkeys that are for F9 through F12 and that was not too big of a deal as they are search and such but I was checking the turn off wireless key (f8) and it does not seem to work. For my work I often have to turn off the wireless as I program alot of ethernet based devices. I also just installed windows 10 and I can't remember if it worked before on windows 8 was on or if it just stopped working (I just got this laptop a week or so ago). If I could manage them myself that would be great! Any help is apreciated. Maybe a driver is wrong?

Obviously this registry cleaner has sterilized the registry and you lose some functions. Try to fix this reinstalling Toshiba tools and utilities. As R2D2 wrote start with Toshiba common modules. It must be installed at first.
Bye and good luck!

HP Pavilion Laptop; Only Special Function Keys are Working

I got my first HP laptop, a HP Pavilion 17-e049wm Notebook, refurbished a few months ago when my original quit out. Until recently, I've been more than happy with its performance. However, a few weeks ago the keyboard started acting both weird and also not working. I'll try to provide as much information as I can, and thank you in advance for your assistance!
Circumstances before the event:
-The night before, my keyboard worked one hundred percent fine. I played some games and went to sleep with it closed and hibernating like I always have. The next morning, I took it up with me to play music as I showered. Before I'm accused of water-damaging it, my laptop was very far from shower, so no direct water contact occured, and also we shower with the door open, so there was no build up of steam or humidity that could've done it that couldn't be present in any other situation. I knew that it worked that morning, as I must have logged in to play my music. After closing it and bringing it to my car (without drops or any other jarring), I learned a few hours later that my keyboard had stopped working.
-My house doesn't have internet and I havn't recently installed anything, so it's doubtful that some kind of software did it to me.
What the keyboard does(n't do):
-Almost every key doesn't work. The letters, esc, enter, shifts, fn, numberpad, caps lock, etc. I've tried them each, and none work.
-There are two exclusions to the above statement:
-The 'special' function keys; All of the keys that share space with my function keys work fine. So my mute, pause, change display, brightness controls, help shortcut, airplane mode, etc. work. So everything from F1 to F12 work.
-Before anyone assumes that my fn key is stuck or something, the special part is the default. On my keyboard, you hold down the fn key to do the normal fn key functions (f11 skips to the next song, fn+f11 does fullsrceen).
-Also, I'm not sure if my 'normal' functions work. I tried holding fn on this USB keyboard and then the f# keys, but the 'special' function still is the one that works. However, as I have no control, I don't know if that would have happened anyways.
-The second exception, which makes me doubt that it is a hardware problem, is that if I hold 'X' and 'C' at the same time, the brightness lowers, as if I tapped my f2 key. Each of those do nothing on their own, but when pushed together, they act identical to the f2.
-Another thing is that my ported keyboard's caps lock indicator light still shines when either the USB or on-screen's caps lock keys are used.
What I've tried:
-Turn it off and back on
-Turn it off, take out battery, hold the power button, wait, turn on with/without battery
-Uninstall keyboard driver, restart
-Summoning a demon
-Tried to update driver (can't, up-to-date)
-Check status through device manager (claims that it's running fine)
I've basically tried everything I could find that seemed relatively useful from browsing the forums, but it's on my third week keyboardless, nothing works, and I'm so tired of using my girlfriends pretty, sparkling and bedazzled, purple USB keyboard from her days in middle school. If nothing works, I'll have to resort to the system resets and lose applications and my files, which would be a mad bummer yo.
Thank you again for your help, internet.

@cbowman08 ,
Hello and thank you so much for posting on the HP support forums. Now please I am not stating you have done anything wrong in any way. This kind of thing happens all the time.
You do not need a bunch of steam to cause an issue with water for one thing.
Inside your notebook is a huge differential in temperature zones. If you take a notebook into a shower room even if your water is slightly above room temp there is ample moisture in the air.
Air has to travel and if your notebook was on the counter and it is between your shower and the door, any moisture in the air gets to get heated way up and then gets to cool way down and gather on the little metal bits in your notebook.
It only takes one drop of water the size of a pin head to bridge a connection and cause a short.
I hope this is not the case. I am hoping that the connection cable for your keyboard has come loose.
So to see if this is just a loose connection instead of a bit of moisture causing the issue here is a link to your maintenance guide,
Maintenance and Service Guide
This will show you have to get your system apart to check they keyboard connection.
As well here is a link to how to gain access to the keyboard and its connection.
HP Pavilion 17 Replace Keyboard HDD SSD Ram New Model Laptop.
Check to make sure the keyboard cable didnt just come loose. Very easy fix. If it is connected and nothing is loose then you are looking at a replacement keyboard or if the board did get some moisture on it from condensation then you will need to have it sent in for repair.
If that is the case you will want to contact phone support for repair options.

I am hoping for the keyboard connection coming loose here.

8900 only number keys are working on keyboard and symbols only showing numbers

Hi All
curve 8900 - I turned the handheld off last night and this morning only the number keys are working on keyboard and when I press symbols it only showing numbers. Did i press an unusual key combination? I tried taking battery out and restarting.
Can anyone help me out?
Best
Kobi

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You did not state fully, so I cannot know if you did the battery pull properly (with power ON). Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

My apple wireless keyboard got wet a year ago i sprayed the cleaning spray on it some of the keys are working but some of the keys aren"t working. it got sprayed a year ago What should i do??? Can it be recovered plz tell?

I sprayed it a year ago i really like the keyboard and i really need it can it be recovered??? My apple wireless keyboard got wet a year ago i sprayed the cleaning spray on it some of the keys are working but some of the keys aren"t working. it got sprayed a year ago What should i do??? Can it be recovered plz tell?

There is almost no chance it can be recovered, except at a cost far greater than a new keyboard. Once wet, spraying with a cleaner will not do any good and most likely will make the situation worse.
Best thing at this point is go to your Apple store, or the on-line store, and buy a new keyboard. Water damage is not covered by the warranty or AppleCare.

My keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random.

Is it a damaged keyboard ?
The laptop is just 2 months old, will Apple replace it with a new one if its indeed a damaged keyboard or just repair, I use it for official purposes so being without a laptop is not much of an option.

No one here works for Apple, so we don't know what Apple might or might not do. If it's a genuine defect, they will of course repair it under warranty. It is not their responsibility if it effects your ability to work or not, so that's on you.
If, however, they determine that the key is problematic as a result of your misuse of the laptop, then everything is on you. And trust me, if they find a glob of dried up beer or coffee there, they will charge you.
Your only choice is to take it in for repair.

TS4006 No keys are working on my Ipad. I cant even reboot the device

Hi All,
Since evening all my folders in my IPAD are shaking ( it generally happens when we change the location of some apps) after the no keys are working and folders are still skaing. I am unable to use my apps. All I can do is to change the location only.
Need your help to resolute this issue.

I think you are in the wrong community discussion here.
But there is one thing you first do when the iPad is not doing what you want:
hold the Home button AND the Power button at the same time, keep holding, ignore everything at the screen, keep holding until the white Apple logo appears, then let go and let the iPad start up completely.
This sort of soft reset, without losing your data.

I have several Apple IDs, but since last week only 2 of them are working.

Dv6 2190us - some keyboard keys are not working

Hi there all,
My sis bought me Dv6 2190us laptop last Feb 2010 and I just got it now. The problem now is, some of the keys like the letters - W, S, and X are not working so I am not able to log-in to Window 7. The laptop is brandnew, the keys are not sticking but the only unusual thing is that , the battery was attached to the laptop for one year.... Couldnt this be the reason and what should I do to resolve this? Appreciate your kind help!
Thanks in advance,..

also having this issue with 6 month old dv6 3031 but my entire line beginning with a to enter key will not respond so i cannot do any tests or what not. i was advised to do bios setup by clicking F10 when notebook is booting up, arrow across to Diagnostic menu and perform PRIMARY HARD DISK SELF TEST. of course i was unable to do this as my enter key does not work but maybe you could give it a go and have more luck
cheers

Some function keys are not working on my Portege R830

Like others, I have a new Portege R830 and experienced the sudden unexplained loss of functionality of the 13 function keys. My os is a native windows 7 64bit install, with office 2010 installed afterwards. I have the SSD model.
I followed the instructions, removing TVAP and re-installing, and I have both VAP and flashcards operational. I used the USA site drivers for the latest set (the Australian and European driver sets are older versions and different).
Most, but not all, of the function keys are now working again. What isn't working are as follows:
- F12 functionkey not operating
- volume up and down keys not operating - what I am most interested in - any suggestions on how to get functional again please?
also, on re-installing VAP, I lost functionality on ecobutton. Any suggestions on how to get working again?
thanks in anticipation

Hi
You are on the right way dude the VAP and Flash Card Support Utility controls the FN buttons. If you have an European notebook model, I would recommend using the drivers from Toshiba European driver page but generally speaking there should not be a difference in the software
However, in my case restarting the Flash Cards helps to get back the FN buttons functionality. The Flash Cards can be found in All Programs -> Toshiba -> Flash Cards.
So check if restart would help you.
Regarding the Eco button: ECO Utility controls this button tooso would recommend installing/reinstalling this software beside the VAP

Pavilion 15-b142dx Some Keyboard keys not working

A friend gave me their Pavilion 15-b142dx sleekbook, apparently AFTER they spilled some type of liquid in it. I was able to revive the computer, however, there is still a problem with the keyboard. When the keyboard is installed in the laptop, several of the keys do not work. However, when I take it out (and suspend it with some plastic) it works fine. I have disconnected the ribbon cable, and taken some alcohol to clean up the area. I have also been able to run the HP diagnostics on bootup, both short and extended versions, and they come back ok. Additionally, I connected an external keyboard and it worked fine. I have searched the forum for this type of question and didn't see it. Has anyone else had this problem, or am I looking at replacing the keyboard?
I currently am running windows 8.1. I do not get any error messages, but I did notice HP does not include a keyboard key test in its diagnostics.
This question was solved.

Hi there @MrKen99
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that some of your keys are not working, after some liquid decided to pay an unwanted visit to the board. I am happy to assist you with this.
In my sordid past I have seen some really messed up keyboards, due to similar things, coffee, cola, water, whatever. My most memorable was someone who brought me a computer that was used in a kitchen and was close to a deep fat fryer, and the keyboard was not only coated with oil and grease but a build up of fuzzy dust all throughout the keyboard. In that case I recommended a replacement as the cost to clean it was more expensive than a new one.
Anyway, it sounds as if you have already tried to clean it, but if you did not pop off the offending/non-working keys, the contacts could be "tacky". Make note of the keys that are having the problem and treat them individually. This document shows how to remove and replace keys from a standard notebook keyboard.
Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 8)
If you do not have any success doing that then, I would look at either replacing the keyboard, or using an external keyboard. If you choose a replacement you can look at the service manual for it, and it will list the supported parts.

Qosmio F750 - some keyboard keys stoped working

Hello
I have a Toshiba Qosmio F750 since 3 months ago. The other day, i just powered the laptop and noticed some keys (a,b,n,enter...) were not working at all. I tried to clean blowing under the keyboard and nothing. Also in the windows booting these keys dont work. Anyone with the same problem?
Someone knows how to solve this?
Is quite annoying having to use an external keyboard with a 3 months old laptop....
thank you!

Hi
I think only keyboard replacement could solve your keyboard button problem.
It looks like the single buttons are faulty and since the single buttons cannot be removed, the whole keyboard needs to be replaced.
Get in contact with an local Toshiba ASP. The warranty seems to be valid and the fix should be done free of charge sorry to say this but it seems you had simply a bad luck :(

Dead keys are working badly in Word

Hi,
I have "imported" a weird problem from a Word file my husband sent me: he has problems with using dead keys with Word and, since I read his file (an .rtf file, if that is of any help) so have I.
We write mainly in Portuguese; we have a Portuguese keyboard layout and have to use diacritics often. So, we use dead keys often.
Now, when I press a dead key in Word, instead of seeing the diacritical mark blinking on the screen witing for me to press the next key (in order to type the accented char. I need), the cursor moves back to the previous position and when I type the second key, this is the only one that shows on screen.
For instance, to type " á " I have to type " ´ " and then " a ". Now, most of the times I only get an " a ".
How can I have contracted this annoying bug (if it is a bug) just from reading his file? How can I get rid of it? The dead keys do work, but the amount of time they are active on screen is very short.
Thanks,
Susana

This is not a keyboard layout problem, because GTK apps work correctly. It's just the Qt-apps that fail.
Also if you are using a Desktop Enviorment you can set these settings there instead, but they should have been detected automaticaly. That could probably explain the diference between both your computers.
I'm not using any. (Openbox on both).

Some keyboard keys not working

Hey guys,
I've been having problems with my keyboard in my MB.
Every now and then certain keys stop working for no apparent reason.
The keys are:
Right Shift
Right Command
Both square bracket keys
Equals & Plus button
The 0 button
Arrow keys
These stop and start working randomly, but not all at the same time. However, it is never just one, it is at least 2.
I have not been able to figure out what is causing this, and a restart doesn't help, after a while the keys just start working again.
When they aren't working, keyboard viewer doesn't show up as the key has been pressed, so I think it may be a hardware issue.
My Macbook has never been dropped or had anything spilt on the keyboard.
Any suggestions would be awesome.
Ta,
Ryan.

Try resetting your SMC and PRAM. If neither work, you may need to get your keyboard replaced.
