Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad P400 - Reverse Function (Fn) Keys

Feb 24, 2013

I recently purchased an Ideapad P400, and I have noticed that the default for  the keys where  F1 and F2, etc. usually are, are now the mute and volume buttons.  To access the F1, F2....F12 keys, you now have to press Fn + your desired F key.  
 
While I understand many people probably find this useful, I play several games where these keys are essential, and it makes playing the games nearly impossible to play if you have to hold down the Fn key in addition to the desired F key.  So my question is, is it possible to reverse the Function keys?  I would much rather press Fn + F1 to mute than have to press press Fn + F1 to access F1.

HP Pavilion G6-2224CA :: Function Keys Working In Reverse

Jul 25, 2010

The function keys on my keyboards are working in the opposite manner. Whenever I press any of the keys from F1 to F12 they perform the multimedia actions or their enhanced action. For example, if I press the F2 key the brightness of my laptop screen would lower. It should not work like this. I should be pressing Fn+F2 for the brightness of my screen to lower. The problem here is that I can't use Alt+F4 to close windows because its reversed, I instead have to press Alf+Fn+F4.
 
I have already search for an answer online and I can only find that NumLock is supposed to be locked. But, it's a laptop - I have no such key.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Reversing Function Of All F Keys - Z500

Oct 10, 2012

The default behavior of F1 through F12 keys on the z500 are set to perform laptop functions like mute, turn sound or brightness up and down and so on.
 
Is there a way to reverse the way F1, F2.. F12 keys work, so they work like on any other regular keyboard.
 
I use the basic functionality of the F-keys all the time, when renaming files, searching and so on, and I would like to be able to use them without having to press "fn" every time.

S440. I prefer to use the function keys F1-F12 without using the Fn key. It seems like in other models there is an option in the BIOS to change this, but not on my machine. Also the Lenovo software nor Windows configuration seems to be able to change this. Is there anyway to do this?

Lenovo G710 B / G Series :: Function Keys Do Not Display Action On Screen

Mar 8, 2014

I recently downgraded my G710 from Windows 8 (which it came with), to Windows 7.  The only issue I've noticed is that it does not display anything on screen when you use the function keys, such as the volume up or down, or bright ness up or down.  The keys work, but it would be nice to see on screen that my volume is set at 2% vs say 100% when I'm turning it up or down.

Lenovo M490 C/E/K/M/N/V Series :: Could Not Find Software That Controls Function Keys

Dec 22, 2013

I've bought Lenovo M490s notebook one week ago without OS. I've installed Windows 7 Professional x64 retail.First of all I could not find software that controls Function keys. After installing every driver and software from support page (M490s) my function keys just doesnt work except Fn+F1 sleep, Fn+F2 turn off the screen, Fn+F6 disable touchpad and play buttons. Also no information was displaying on the screen after pressing such buttons - no volume and brightness level.
 
After doing some research I've found and installed Hotkey Features Integration from Lenovo M490 (without S) support page. Every function key is started to work, information on the screen also begin to display (volume and brightness level).Now I spotted a huge problem, after 3 or 4 hibernation volume and brightness keys (fn+up,down,left,right) just stopping to work!!! Fn+F1-F12 combinations are working normal. Then after reboot brightness and volume keys are working again!!

I've solved my problem reinstalling the Intel video drivers, downloaded from Lenovo Driver Support.

It seems that Windows 8.1 upgrade disables video drivers.

Lenovo U/S Series :: IdeaPad S210 Backslash And Hash Keys Not Working

Jun 23, 2014

I have a brand new IdeaPad S210 (model 20257) with a UK keyboard.  Basically, the backslash ('') and hash ('#') keys don't work.  I tried switching to US keyboard layout as a test, but they don't work there either.  Everything else seems fine.

Is this fixable by updating the drivers or something?  Or do I have to return the whole machine as faulty?...

Lenovo P400 P/Y/Z Series :: Touch Battery Not Charging

Dec 27, 2013

I have a P400 Touch that was purchased just a few months ago (February I believe) and it's been great so far.  This past month, however, I haven't used it (until now) and noticed that my battery icon is stuck on "36% available (plugged in, charging)" but the thing is it's not charging whatsoever.  What's worse is that if/when I pull the adapter from the laptop, it cuts off completely.  The battery indicator light is steady white when the adapter is plugged in as well.

Lenovo P400 P/Y/Z Series :: Touch Screen Brightness Won't Adjust

Apr 13, 2013

I used my brightness down button once and now it won't go back up. I can't adjust the settings at all, despite the graphic on the screen showing me the meter going up and down. I've checked all drivers, tried uninstalling and reinstalling lenovo energy management, and I've still got nothing. I've stopped short of a factory reset because that's super annoying having set everything up and then a couple weeks after purchase have to do it again.

Lenovo T440p T400 / T500 :: Using Function Keys In Applications?

Jul 17, 2014

Just got a T440p and it's working fine.  BUT when I go into an application like Word and either hit the function key or combine it with the Alt, Ctrl, or Shift key, I still get the default action of the Funciton key.  For example, in Word, the Alt-F9 combination is used to display field codes.  When I do that, however, I get the Control Panel popup.  Similarly, in a browser, I should be able to hit the F12 key and get the Developers pane at the bottom of the screen.  But instead in IE, Chrome, and Firefox, I get a My Computer popup.

Lenovo 11e E/Edge :: Function Keys Require Pressing Fn Key On E545

Jun 8, 2010

I just purchased a new E545, which has the unusual keyboard layout that I like -- the Control key inside of the special Fn key. Of course, it seems Lenovo has gone and switched the way the function keys operate so that now you have to press the Fn key to get the F-keys.
 
How can I swap the function keys operation so that I need the Fn key to operate the PC and media controls?

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y410p Doesn't Function Without Charger

Mar 9, 2014

My fairly new Lenovo Y410p funtions extremely well when playing a video game, but only when connected to a charger, as soon as I disconnect the charger, my framerate can drop to upto 1/8th of the original framerate. It is always connected to the NVidia Graphics Card, the power plan is always on high performance, and the minimum processor state on battery for the processor power management is 100%. How I can fix it? Am I missing something fairly obvious, or is there a defect with my computer?

Lenovo B / G Series :: G505s Hotkey Function Swap

Aug 9, 2013

I just purchased a G505s laptop, and I now realize that the function keys (F1-F12) operate as Lenovo hotkeys by default, and I need to press th "Fn" key along with them in order to get them to function in their original mode. This is not acceptable for my normal usage. I know with other Lenovo laptops, there is a BIOS setting that allows the user to either "disable" hotkey mode, or set them to "legacy" mode, but in the current BIOS/UEFI for the G505s there is no option to do so.
