The only other thing I've changed since then is upgrade my BIOS to Middleton's version (to enable SATA 2 speeds). This worked before on my prior Windows 7 HDD install.
I've done a Lenovo System Update 4, and it didn't find any pertinent update for the HotKeys. I did a full uninstall of it, reboot, and install of it again. As a result, things like the Fn F5 don't work, and I'm not able to toggle my Bluetooth on because of this.Īny idea? I checked the Lenovo site, and I tried downloading the latest version of the installer, which happens to be the same version as I already have. If you have a recent Dell laptop and are doing a clean install of Windows 8.1 (and possibly Windows 10), you may encounter an issue where the brightness controls (F11/F12 down/up) do not function properly. Volume +/-, and screen brightness work but there is no ondisplay icon shown, so, therefore, the actual Windows 7 software isn't toggling these. Description of the brightness control problem. The HotKey Patch and HotKey Integration were both successfully installed. I did all the Windows Updates, and then proceeded with installing the Leonvo Drivers, which I've saved a copy from last time doing a fresh install which was in Dec 2011. I just did a new install of Windows 7 onto a new SSD on my X61.
