Control buttons do not work on Satellite A300 with Win XP

Hello

A few days ago, I bought a new Toshiba A300-1MX.
I had windows XP installed. Service Pack 3. BIOS is version 1.50 (told in the BIOS).

The problem: my brilliant media keys do not work. They simply do not respond.
Anyone with any suggestions?

I downloaded the driver for models commute for XP and the utility hotkey for XP, and after installing it, the FN keys work (ESC, F1-5-6-7-10-11) (although that might not work F2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 12).

Thank you people.
Sascha

Because the A300-1MX belongs to the series PSAGCE, you must choose and download the XP drivers for this model.

I checked the page of the Toshiba driver and there is a BIOS 1.40 only. So Don t understand why you talk about 1.50 Bios.

Second, Toshiba media buttons will work if you install the Toshiba utility controls on the page.
Finally and above all, you need the common Modules for the FN buttons work.
Only FN as F9 keys for example need an additional tool like Touch Pad on / off Utility
The Fn F2 or F3 FN will work if a power gain has been installed and hibernation is enabled.

So, as you can see you need more tools!

  • Common Modules diver does not work on Satellite L350 with Win XP

    The diver of common Modules is * not working *.
    How it does not work is because when I try to install Toshiba controls it tells me that "TOSHIBA common Modules is not installed on your computer. I can go on, but it does not (obviously). I've tried versions 1.00.05, 1.00.08 (both of which are on the European driver from Toshiba site) and 1.00.22SE, 6.05.01.TE (from another site) and none of them work.

    After you have installed one of them I get this message from PowerSaver: 'TOSHIBA common Modules does not run correctly. You can use TOSHIBA Power Saver. "A strange thing is that the driver Toshiba common Modules _doesn ' t appear in Add/Remove Programs_ and I can't find the place where to uninstall it. How I installed other versions is simply their execution.

    My laptop is a Satellite L350 PSLD0C-03N08C (http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en§ion=1&group=1&product=8193&p = 8282 #spectop art).
    Toshiba Canada site has only the drivers Vista (VAP). All the drivers on Toshiba Europe site worked perfectly.
    * Please help me, this is the only part that is left for my downgrade.* I can't use Power Saver, the Fn keys and all these important things if I don't get fixed.

    Hello

    As you said that it is a Canadian model of laptop and if the common Modules are not designed specifically for this laptop then this application will not work correctly.

    So, we found a reason why the joint work of modules-> this software doesn t is not designed for your notebook from the series.

    Unfortunately, if the Toshiba Canada page doesn t provide the Win XP tools and utilities for you laptop, then you must wait and must run Notepad without these tools.

  • Qosmio F30: Toshiba control buttons do not work on Vista 64 bit

    Hello everyone

    I have Windows Vista 64-bit installed on my Qosmio F30, but before operation buttons do not work.
    I tried to use the 32-bit configuration of Vista drivers, but when I press it, I got the following error: "this function not taken in charge.

    So please can someone help me to overcome this problem.

    THX

    Hello

    You cannot use these Toshiba control buttons (play, pause, etc.) because the necessary drivers are not installed.

    You will need a compatible Vista value added package, but it seems that Toshiba page does not provide the 64-bit VAP but only the 32-bit version.
    The problem is that the software for Vista 32 bit does not work on Vista 64 bit OS.

    In my opinion so there's nothing to do right now

  • Headphone control buttons does not work

    Hello

    I just used my V - Moda Crossfade LP to listen to the music and tried my control buttons. They do not work so I tried a few Ks AKG and buttons do not work also. Do I have to download an app or?

    A solution would be really nice!

    Hi Chris9292,

    As far as I know, these models are manufactured for Apple devices. There could be some compatibility issues at a Xperia device with buttons and the microphone. For example, if you click on the following link:
    http://v-Moda.com/crossfade-LP/

    They include the following: cable microphone 3 remote buttons control calls and music, as well as the volume on most smartphones and tablets, including the latest Apple devices, including the iPhone, iPad, iPod and Macbook (only compatible with Apple products volume)

    A third party may be accessory need more power than the phone can provide some. (If possible), I suggest that you connect Sony headphones to use this device to see if you encounter the same behavior.

  • Paved touchscreen and button right does not work on Satellite L300 with Vista

    My right button does not work.

    In addition, sometimes the touchpad does not work.

    Reset is useful for a little bit.

    Is there something else I can do besides sending it to be repaired.

    I just got this laptop 3 weeks ago and I hate Vista.

    Hello

    I put t think this could be a hardware problem.
    First of all, you should try to update the driver for the touchpad.

    First remove the touchpad driver in the system.
    Then, visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and download the latest touchpad driver and install it.

    PS: If you use an external mouse and that you have installed the mouse drivers/tools then this could also affect the functionality of the touchpad.

    Hello

    You mean all Toshiba control buttons (IE pause, play, stop, lighting, etc.) don t work yet, you have installed the new VAP?

    One of my friends had the similar problem and he has reinstalled the VFR too.
    Unfortunately, it has not been helping :(
    Something was confusing upward.

    He used the recovery disc and then everything worked again

    I don't know why this happened, but maybe it has something to do with MS updates

  • Re: Satellite A300-1EB: Toshiba & FN keys control buttons do not work on Win XP

    I am a new user of laptops toshiba, so I bought this pc and I downgrade from Vista home premium to XP SP3 and I have the problem with the multimedia bar above my keyboard and I also have the problem with the function of the Fn keys.
    I mean when I pres Fn button and some F1 to f12, nothing happens.

    Please please help?

    concerning

    Hello

    Satellite A300-1EB belongs to the series of PSAG0E.
    So please first select the right laptop series until you start to download the XP drivers.

    After choosing the right laptop model, you need to reinstall the XP drivers.

    The common Module and Hotkey Utility are required to achieve the FN keys work.
    The common Modules must be installed first.

    For the multimedia buttons works, you need to install the controls.
    I didn t it find in the PSAG0E series, but in other series like PSAGCE A300. So check it out!

    Good bye

    By the way: SP3 may cause some compatibility issues... then you should first remove all!

  • Satellite U400 PSU40E - Controll buttons do not work properly

    I know what has been said before, but I couldn't find any solution that would work in my case.

    I have U400 (PSU40E) with Vista SP2 installed on my system.
    I have problems with quick launch buttons (Media Player, next song, etc.).

    Description of the problem:
    * 1 backlight button doesn't work (media player button)
    * No quicklaunch button works
    * media player button is lit even when the computer is completely shut down
    * problem not SP2 as it was also present with SP1

    So far attempted:
    Reinstalling Drivers chipset
    relocation of VAP
    * track the stages of http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=127504

    I think that the image of Toshiba would solve this problem

    I have a U400 with XP and Vista OS (dual boot) and all my buttons work properly; XP and Vista.

    So it must be a problem with your base of registry or something like that
