My daughter was hitting keys on my laptop a few months ago. Prior to that I was able to hold the funtion key and either the up or down key to control the volume. Now that doesnt work. how i can get that control back?
View 5 RepliesI have recently performed a clean install of windows 7 on my Acer TravelMate 5520G which used to run Vista. The whole process took the best part of 15 min...
All works *very* well apart from the orange WLAN LED at the front of the laptop (next to the bluetooth LED). WiFi functions fine and so does the WLAN switch. Except for the strange fact that when WLAN is ON the LED is OFF and when WLAN is switched OFF the LED comes ON!
The 802.11g network adapter driver installed is that of Broadcom version 5.30.21.0. Installing LaunchManager does not solve the problem.
Of course not a major problem, but the LED used to indicate WiFi connection status by flashing on&off, pretty handy.
how to go forward to get it to work as per normal?
I have an acer 3680 (aspire)
The FN function key drivers I can not find anywhere......
I have looked and looked launch manager I thought for sure would work but they aren't...
Can anyone help me out with the FN key drivers? for the 3680?
I have everything else installed from launch manager to chip set drivers...still no fn functions...
The buttons(email,e-management,internet) above my key board quit working,my volume bar will not show up on screen,and some of my symbol keys will not work.I've tried checking my settings and restore to a previous time that I knew the computer was working correctly.

- is-it possible to put two hard drive and enable raid fonction, i saw that it's possible to put two hard drive but on the bios there nothing
- is-it possible to install another OS ( Vista 64 or Seven 64 ) ? I read there are problem with the driver for the video card.
Notebook used very little, so jam shocked at the dysfunction I've experience since a recent windows update. Was looped in a repair function, and I was able to restore. Now it powers on, fan runs but black screen and no keyboard function.

I am interested to know the real world battery life with the powersmart function enabled since none of the reviewers tested it.
I have an Aspire 5733Z laptop and I love it dearly. I just recently lost the capability to adjust the volume using the keyboard shortcut of Fn key with up or down arrow keys. I have uninstalled and installed the Realtek HD driver.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just recently picked up an Aspire V 17 Nitro and imediately installed Windows 7 on it. Everything is working pretty well so far but I noticed the function keys are not working. The ones where you hold down the "Fn" key and then do thing like adjust the volume.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got this laptop for a month and the touchpad is making me frustrating. The cursor lags, the drag function sometimes not working, the primary and secondary buttons interchange (the settings are not changed), and the left or right-click does not work properly. I got downloading the drivers of the mouse to restoring the pc to its original settings. Currently, the bios is updated but it is still happening though the update made the touchpad to become more responsive than before.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI reinstall Vista and I'm trying to find the driver that for the LCD dimmer and and volume function. I think basically my function key doesn't work. Does anyone what the driver is called or where I can get it. I already checked the Sony support site but I don't see it on there. I have a Sony vgn-nr180e.
View 3 Replies View Relatedi want to leave my xps laptop connected to my tv (through the hdmi connection) for long periods of time, and i want to be able to leave the laptop screen off and closed while i do this.. also just for extra information the laptop came with vista installed however i installed XP pro instead.
anyway, when i initially got my laptop i could press the function key and tv-out key and it would output to the tv with the laptop screen still on, pressing it again would still output to the tv and turn the laptop screen off, and a third time would turn off tv-output and have just the laptop screen. i.e. pressing fn and F8
1 time - tv output with laptop screen on
2 times - tv output with laptop screen off
3 times - bring it back to normal with laptop screen on and tv out off.
my problem is that when i press it two times my laptop screen goes off, however no tv signal is sent to the tv anymore..
i tried updating my geforce 8400GS drivers and installing and re-installing the video device but it didnt change anything.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI recently had to reinstall windows on my XPS 15 (l521x) and i now have the F-keys working with their assaigned function (Brightness, play/pause, volume, etc) however, the graphic overlays no longer appear.
For example - Fn + Brightness^ - will increase brightness but with no graphic showing what the current brightness level is.
Any way to get this useful feature back?
I much prefer to use the function keys AS FUNCTION KEYS. I don't want the default to be fast forward or rewind or stop or sound options. I want f2 to be f2 (edit excel cell) and so on. Currently I press fn EVERY time. It's annoying.
Is there a way of changing the defualt key to be what was originally intended? HP has made finding this information impossible so far.

I install all the driver available on the esupport.sony.com website, but still no luck
got my SR-430J. it's probably an older model since it came with Windows Vista...
So first thing I did was did a clean install of Windows 7 Enterprise (a RTM version, and the genuine key is applied so it should be the same as the market version)
I can't for the last 3 hours get the brightness key working... >_> the audio key works but not the brightness... can anyone offer a solution? If not is there another way through windows to change brightness on a laptop screen?
I followed several guides here.. installing the shared library, firmware parser etc... still doesn't work ;x

I recently bought a used TZ190N/B (32 GB SSD, US model) and I finished the basic clean install and I'm trying to install the programs/drivers that I need.
Does the Battery Care function/feature come standard with the US versions of the TZ1xx series? It is not available for download on the sony esupport site and is not listed in the programs list on my self-made recovery discs. The only thing remotely similar is "Battery Checker" in Notebook Utilites package, but that only verifies if the battery being used is a genuine Sony battery.
I ran a search and found that Battery Care can be downloaded from the link in post #4 of this thread: for the people who want battery care function after a clean installation
But I figured that if the feature isn't offered on Recovery discs or the sony essuport site, then maybe it isn't meant to run on my specific TZ... Will it work on mine?
I have a Sony FW285 with a clean install of Vista Ultimate done about 4 months ago.
I recently noticed that when I start up Vaio Control Center, Sony Battery Care and Power Management doesn't show up anymore. This is really bugging me since I have my battery set on 50% charge so I need a power outlet everywhere I go.
I've tried reinstalling Battery Care, Power Management and Vaio Control Center but like mentioned, Battery Care just refuses to show up in Vaio Control Center
I have a VGN-CR590e, I recently upgraded to Windows 7 home premium 64 Bit (windows upgrade advisor said my laptop could support it), after some intial troubles with the drivers for camera and sd card slots (which now work), the battery wont charge beyond 50%, before the windows 7 upgrade I had the battery care function enabled to super care mode (50% charge), however with the OS upgrade the battery care function has disappeared and I cannot change the amount of charge for the battery,
View 7 Replies View Relatedmy keyboard is so stoned it can't function.
anyone have a pinout for the keyboard header so I can scope it and see what's going on?
it's a dv9548us. i found nothing in the "service manual" (should be called a disassembly guide, 'cause that's ALL it is) relating to pinouts
i basically want to verify that I still have +VCC going to the keyboard before I just buy another one.
