Thinkpad key stopped working (As well as Fn+F9 !!!!) What is this new bug from Lenovo ? [ Edited ]

[dbucher]

Hello, It seems that now with each software update new bugs are added to ThinkVantage !!!

Now my Thinkvantage key doesn't work anymore ???
And my Fn-F9 key neither (no more easy eject) ?

I checked all configs : they are correct, and if I start Thinkvantage from Start menu : it works.
Therefore it's definitely a bug linked to keys...

Is Lenovo aware of these bugs ? Is a correction planned ?

Thanks a lot in advance !

Denis

In fact it's even worse, even "CAPS LOCK" security doesn't work either !

Am I the only one to have this problem ?

Do you have an idea where I could find a solution, what I could verify ?

Thanks a lot in advance !

Hello,

For more than one month, my Thinkvantage key doesn't work anymore !
And my Fn-F9 key neither (no more "easy eject") ?
And even the "CAPS LOCK" security doesn't work either !
All Thinkvantages disappeared, only DISavantages now...

I checked all options : they are correct, and if I start Thinkvantage from Start menu : it works.
Maybe something that should start in Windows doesn't start anymore ?

Or should I uninstall and reinstall Lenovo software (I did that very often with many Lenovo bugs and it solved the problems) ?

Any help would be appreciated !

Sorry to hear you are having difficulties, unfortunately you have forgoten to mention which notebook you have. Members will need to know this in order to offer possible advice / solutions.

Hello,

Yes I have a Thinkpad R60.

As I don't know where to find the options for the keyboard I don't know the version of this Thinkvantage software..
I remember there was a place to configure Thinkvantage key, caps lock key, but I don't find it anymore ?

[dbucher]

Sorry but I'm passing HOURS to try to find a solution, but still nothing ?

[dbucher]

Ok maybe giving more details someone could help me ?
I'm really fed up with lenovo, each month something else is broken :-(
It's always worse...

Blue Thinkvantage key : Does not work !
Fn-F7 : Does not work !
Fn-F8 : Does not work !
Fn-F9 : Does not work !
Fn-F5 : Still working (but for how many time ?)

[dbucher]

FYI CAPS LOCK protection works again (but the on-screen-display is missing anyway) but all the rest is still completely broken...

I'm FED UP with all these Lenovo bugs and nobody doing nothing for solving nothing !

You probably need to install the HotKey driver.
