Satellite L750 Fn buttons do not work & shut down doesn't work either
Posted: 24-May-2012 10:30

I have been using my L750 for about 3 weeks now and suddenly the function keys (using the FN + F keys) have ceased to work.

Also, the shutdown, when I go into Start, then press shutdown, my laptop used to actually shut down.

Now all I can do is click either the sleep or hibernate on the arrow pull-out menu on the shutdown button.
Can anyone help me with this.

They have all been working fine up to now.

Go to All Programs -> Flash Cards Utility and restart the Flash Cards.

The point is that this Utility controls the FN buttons and this should be the first step in order to get the button working again.

If this does not help, reinstall the VAP (value added package)

Regarding the power off issue:
Click right on the Start button -> Properties
Now choose Start Menu tab
Here in the point power button action choose Shut down

Hi, thanks very much for the reply. Have been into the flash cards and they are not disabled so not able to correct. Don't know what VAP (Value Added Utility) is or where to find it.
Also, re the Shut Down, have followed the instructions but it already says Shut Down in the power button action so don't know what to do now.

Don't know what VAP (Value Added Utility) is or where to find it.

As mentioned, the VAP value added package is a package containing some necessary tools and utilities which are needed to get some additional notebook features running properly.

You can get it on Toshiba European driver page.
Uninstall the VAP firstly and then install the downloaded package…
