Clarification Request

Posted by Pitt88 on Apr 10, 2009

check under device manager for the exclamation mark,post it here,may be able to solve it if you cna provide this.alternately,install this drivers:ACPI power manager,hotkey driver should work properly after that.when was the last time you updated your bios?

When you say "function keys" i am assuming they are F1 to F12. You don't need a driver for those to work, they are part of your keyboard. You may need to replace your keyboard or have it repaired by a qualified technician.

But if you are referring to the special shortcut keys on your laptop such as volume control, one touch email or web button sometimes called "hotkeys" then you need a driver. If you can give me the model of your laptop, I may be able to point you to the right location where you can download the driver if you don't have one.

-   I have that problem. I used some "tune-up" software on my spare laptop(PCG-GRT150) and now the volume keys don't work. I'm sure I need drivers, right? -   williamsd

mike784, i'm glad my clarification request fixed your problem :)

williamsd, the tune-up software probably deleted some files on your system including the hotkey registry files. to download drivers for Sony PCG-GRT150, click here. Scroll down and look for "Notebook Control and Utilities - 2 file(s)" download and install "Original - Sony® Notebook Control Device Driver".

I don't think so. It could be a hardware problem. Take it to the service center OR if you have any diagnostic utility scan for hardware fault.
