X240: No CAPS LOCK indicator; most Fn hotkeys don't work

When I push CAPS LOCK, I don't see the CAPS LOCK indicator on the screen.
Also, of the Fn hotkeys, only the mute, volume up/dn, and brightness up/dn work - the others don't.
Refreshed hotkeys driver.
When I go to "On Screen Display" tab in screen Advaned Settings, I see: Enable on-screen display checkbox; Appearance box, with color selections and fadeout time. I don't see below it checkboxes for Caps Lock and Num Lock.
Win 8.1.

Y2P dim screen, caps lock indicator stuck on. Already disabled adaptive brighness... Warranty?

Hi guys. Recently bought my second Y2P, this one second hand.
Reason being my previous one was the 4GB i5 model, this one is the 8GB i7
Now I've noticed a few things when I compare them. Firstly, and most annoyingly, the screen on this one is significantly dimmer than on my previous one. When I put it it max brightness it's only a little brighter than half way on my older one. When I put the brightness all the way down the screen turns off...
I''ve already disabled auto dim in the battery settings, windows setting AND intel graphics control panel so I'm sure it's not down to that. I'm running the updated BIOS on both the systems also. This is unbelievably frustrating.
Another annoying thing is that the CAPS lock indicator light is always on. Apart from when I press a button, it turns off whilst anything is being pressed (on the keyboard). It does this as soon as the machine is switched on.
BIOS setting have been reverted to standard etc and nothing seems to be fixing any of it. I have also done a full reset of the machine on numerous occasions. Nothing.
One last niggle is that I've noticed that the touchpad is ever so slightly sunk in (something that I probably only noticed because I have another yoga to compare it to) and there is some play in the touchpad which I would have noticed this regardless.
Is it time to contact Lenovo warranty team?
Sorry for the long post, and I'd really appreciate any advice!

Just to keep the thread updated in case by any chance someone has similar problems...
I've contacted Lenovo who are saying it's likely a motherboard issue, I'll be getting a letter with details of how to arrange a courier to collect the system within the next few days. I'll let y'all know what comes of it!

T530 - Caps Lock Indicator Not Working

Sporting Windows XP (32-bit) on my T530 and as of recently, Caps Lock indicator has stopped working. Mute, Volume, Screen Brightness indicators are working as per usual, only CL indicator is not working anymore. Tried upgrading Lenovo Hotkey Features, rebooted but still no go. Also, I can't remember where do I find settings for Caps Lock indicator? IIRC, it should be somewhere in Control Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced/OSD, but it disappeared. I can only enable/disable OSD, adjust fade-out time and background/foreground color(s). Options for Caps Lock indicator are missing. Anyone experiencing similar problems?
T530: i7-3630QM, 4 GB DDR3-1600, NVS 5400M, 2x 500GB 7200RPM, 9-cell, HD+ 1600x900, Backlit US, WinXP Pro
L430: i3-2370M, 4 GB DDR3-1600, HD 3000, 320GB 7200RPM, 6-cell, HD 1366 x 768, Win7 Home Premium 64-bit

I had the same problem. The newest hotkeys integration package is gevu60ew.exe and it has problems on XP. Here is how I fixed it:
Download gevu60ew.exe from the Lenovo website.
Install gevu60ew.exe, don't reboot.
Run the installation again from C:\Drivers\Hotkey\setup.exe.
Choose the uninstall option and uninstall everything you see.
Reboot.
Go to your program files directory and delete the folder "%ProgramFiles%/Lenovo/HOTKEY".
Download and install gevu43ww.exe, don't install the patch.
I found the file gevu43ww.exe here (but if you've used System Update it's probably already saved on your computer, do a search for it):
www.filefobia.com/goto/download/29321/10
Reboot.
Should be fixed, no promises but it worked for me.

How to get Caps lock indicator in windows 8.1

How to get Caps lock indicator in windows 8.1 ???
i am using wireless keyboard KG 1061

Hi bhargav0,
I understand you would like a caps lock indicator in Windows 8.1. I admit, I don't know of any fix that simply shows you on the screen, but there is an auditory warning that you can implement if that would be of help to you. Take a look at the following video, Windows® 8.1: Make the Caps Lock key beep when pressed. I hope this will be of use to you. Have a great day.

****PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE**** PLEASE - Re: ON SCREEN CAPS LOCK INDICATOR

can someone please help me before i pull all of my hair out.
i have windows vista - 64 bit - the HP IQ500 touchsmart with a wireless keyboard.
in the systray the num caps and scroll lock appears as little blue boxes (when on).
everynow and again they simply disapper.
i researced how to activate them again but cant remember how to do it.
there is a way without having to mess with the registry and without downloading any program
i just cant remember how. i know wherever it is...you ultimately get 3 boxes that you can check in order to turn the options back on.
i am not talking about toggling, or sound, or mscofig and then boot.
does anyone know the steps to turn the caps scroll and num lock indicator in teh sys tray back on
oh, and right clicking on the toolbar and going to the notificiation area is not what i am referring to either.
I checked in the control panel programs and the hp on screen caps lock indicator etc program is there.
I reinstalled it nonetheless and confirmed it is installed properly
When I right click on the notification area I do to properties/notification area/customize
There are two lists there
1. Current Items and
2. Past Items
For some reason I see caps lock - scroll lock and num lock under the past items
There you are also able to change the status of the items to either Hide wne active, hide or show
All three (caps/num/scroll) are SHOW
I click apply OK then apply
I restart the computer and nothing. The on screen caps lock indicator is still not in the notification area/systray area
I repeat teh steps to ensure that the three have the SHOW option chosen and they are.
So....
Program is installed
Items are check for SHOW
Restart was done
Ohhh and also...I went to MSCONFIG and made sure that the HP Keyboard Program was selected/check mark as one of the start up programs.
There in a run command to activiate the 3rd party program (hp onscreen indicator program)
When you enter the run command that I cant remember...you then get this option where there are three check boxes...one next to num lock - one next to caps lock and one for scroll lock.
Once you check/select the boxes/options you want...presto they appear in the sys tray/notification area.
I just cant remember the run command it to save my life.
Please....put my mind to ease...cause I am losing it!
I just cant seem to "walk away"...must be my OCD :-(
Thanks

Caps lock indicator

My Pavilion P6320 came with the standard HP wireless keyboard and mouse. No problems using these, but there is no direct indication on the keyboard as to whether the Caps lock and Num lock are on or off. When either is changed an indicator appears briefly in the bottom right of the screen.
Is there any way this indicator can be permanently displayed, for example in the task bar?

Any way to have the caps lock indicator display on the monitor? Can never figure out whe it's active.

Caps Lock indicator in lower right of screen

When I hit Caps Lock, a display pops up in the lower right corner of the screen to notify me of the change. It looks like this:
http://i55.tinypic.com/15xez9.png
How do I stop this from happening? I've found a bunch of workarounds via Google, and they all either don't work for me or don't apply.

Looks like you have a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard.
Easy way (if you don't use Bluetooth)
Click Start.
Type MSCONFIG.
Allow User Account Control? - click Yes.
Click Startup tab.
Remove check marks from "Bluetooth Software" and/or "HP Desktop Keyboard".
Restart computer.
If you want to only shut down the little graphical presentation and you want to keep the bluetooth icon, use the steps above to prevent "HP Desktop Keyboard" from loading, but do not remove the checkmark next to bluetooth.
And then prevent the OSD for the bluetooth caps lock indicator by making a minor change in the registry:
Click Start.
Type REGEDIT.
Allow User Account Control? - click Yes.
To backup your registry (in case soething goes haywire), select Computer, click File menu, click Export, give a name and save.
After backing up registry, open each of the following registry values (the little folders) in this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MCHINE_\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\General\
Double-click the value KeyIndication in the list on the right.
Change the hex value from a one (1) TO A ZERO (0).
Close the registry editor window and restart your computer. You don't need to save anything - it happens on the fly (scary).

Caps lock indicator is on but it is in lower case

Hi,
I have Notebook model 14-b157TU. since 2 days, My laptop's caps lock indicator is working in reverse way - indicator is on when it is lower case and off when it is upper case. I have tried restarting the system and removing the battery for sometime and then turning on the laptop. But the problem still persists.
Help me to resolve this.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
As you say that the Shift key is stuck during startup, too, discard any software problem, because it's a hardware problem. Take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get your computer repaired

CAPS lock indicator bulb

My "CAPS lock" indicator light went out a couple of months ago and is driving me crazy. It's a real problem when attempting to put in a password, especially with my bank. After two tries the other day it locked me out (again) before I realized what I was doing wrong. I have an HP Pavilion dv6833us Entertainment Notebook PC. I just want to replace the little bulb in there. Can I do it myself or do I have to bring it in for servicing somewhere? Your advice would be appreciated.

I have read threads about the number lock flickering
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2588658&#2588658
perhaps it is just a small glitch. My number lock does the same when it is on screen save mode but goes away as soon as i power the screen. Not really bothers me.

I have an Acer Aspire 7741. I want to disable the CAPS LOCK ICON. It interferes with my work.

I have an Acer Aspire 7741. I want to disable the CAPS LOCK ICON because it interferes with my work. Microsoft states this is a utility that is on the computer, not something that is controlled by Windows software. Help, please. This is the only computer I use that does this and it's quite annoying at times.

it must already be installed on your system, normally it enables the Fn+F functions and over things like Caps lock. http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Application/LaunchManager/LaunchManager_Dritek_4.0.5_W7x86W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634061190269930459&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE%207741&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6

I cannot get the caps lock key or the tab key to work. Could they be broken?

I cannot get my caps lock key or the tab key to work. This is a wired keyboard. Could the keyboard be broken, or have I messed up some setting?

Very possibly however you haven't completed a profile so we have no idea what version of OS X you use. First thing to do is complete your profile, if you don't know how please click Profile Update.
I am going to assume you are running ML, if so open System Preferences - Keyboard - uncheck the box that says Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function Keys.
If that does not work then please reset the SMC and PRAM each 3x back to back. You can find instructions by clicking Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

Compaq Presario F767NR caps lock,scroll,touch pad blue light not working

Hi,
I have a Compaq Presario F767NR. It downgrade it to xp. All my drivers are ok. But caps lock,scroll,touch pad blue light not working though its function is ok.
I think led is ok. I find that for the scroll lock when i press fn+num lk then the blue light works fine.

I have the same problem and I think it started when I downloaded the SP2 for the Windows Vista. So probably it is not a problem of the laptop. I have an HP Pavilion dv9500 notebook PC.

My hotkey don't work anymore using Windows 8

I have installed Windows 8 and now my hotkey don't work anymore. I looked online but i am not sure what drivers i need to install for that. I hope you can help me with this.
I would love to get everything back to work like before the update.

Hi
The hotkey requires an Toshiba driver/utility called Toshiba Value Added Package.
Did you check if your notebook is ready for Win 8 upgrade?
Check this thread:

Additionally you could try to install the VAP released on US driver page:

Satellite L500-13W: How to switch on Wlan with Win 7 - hotkeys don't work

Hi there,
i recently acquired this laptop, and i installed win7 64 bits prof. The first problem was that wireless card was not installed, but i go to toshib website and downloaded the new one, next to that i can't activate the card with the fn + f8 key, thats the only way to activate the card,
i already downloaded some drivers and utilities and i can't activate the card, the hotkey don't work and there's not another switch, software won't work either
Any help will be welcome
Thanks

Hallo Tito
In front of me I have Satellite L500-154. This laptop has no WLAN switch and in preinstalled Vista you can enable WLAN card using FN+F8 only. I have searched a way to enable WLAN card without FN+F8 key combination. No way.
So if you have OS without working FN+F8 key combination you will not be able to enable WLAN card.
I really don't understand why do you think it can be because of laptop.
Install supported operating system and you will see everything will be OK.
So it has nothing to do with faulty hardware.
