Deactivation of the multimedia keys on Satellite A305-S6905

I'm hoping to find a way to disable multimedia keys (touch keys at the top) on your laptop Satellite A305-S6905.

The problem is that I teach computer for the visually impaired (blind) skills. I have a student who has this laptop, and we had a continuous problem she can't feel the keys and is accidentally pressed the mute button, turn off the sound when it turns on or off the laptop. His must be on so that its capable of reading software screen can read the screen to it. No noise, it cannot use the laptop.

But also with the sound off it cannot go to the desktop and turn on the sound because she can't hear where he is. Because the touch buttons are flush with the Board of Directors, she cannot feel that key is to turn the sound back on. We have tried to place a marker press the mute, but under much and would not allow the button to work.

So, anyone got a way to turn them off?

Thank you

Hello Haven

I don't know if this will help but try to find file buttonsetting.ini and delete this file or delete in another folder.
Please try and let me know if it works.

  • No noise from the multimedia keys on Satellite A500

    Hello I have same problem as in the topic here:

    https://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64595&TSTART=150

    I do the same thing as the egold70 user (re install VAP and SCCF) and the problem is partly in trouble.

    Now all the extra button (eco, light on/off) works fine, but there is no sound on the buttons.
    When I reboot laptop there is a sound at first: they blink and do a "beeep" but after I play music or anything like that that make the 'sounds' (like the sound of incoming mail or something) the buttons become silent, they only Flash.

    I reinstall the sound drivers that did not help, funny because when the miusic plays constantly they make a noise when I turn off miusic after a few seconds, they became silent. When I do Fn + ESC (mute on / off), there is a sound like at the start, but as I say, until some other 'noise' is played and they become silent. It's boring to FN + ESC again and again.

    Anyone can help with this?

  • Satellite A300-1tim: - issue of the multimedia keys

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-1tim: PSAGCE-08X00GPL.
    After reinstalling Windows (Vista 32 bit), everything was fine until the moment when I wanted to turn off the backlight touch multimedia keys, those just above the keyboard (above the F1 to F12 keys).

    Mute, play/pause, stop and change of tracks in Windows Media Player buttons worked very well, except the second button - turning on WMP (but it was flashing after pressing).

    Some time ago, I had these configured buttons in a way the first person (currently silent) turned to the large backlit, second one - a shot on Winamp.

    I installed the package of added value and Toshiba Assist. Now, in Toshiba Assist, after choosing "Toshiba buttons" I only empty fields.
    When I chose to browse and dir: TBS try to choose any function (e.g. drive - disable backlit) it appears in the path and Description sections, I can type something in Option, but nothing appears in the section last but the most important: button name, has nothing to choose, blind fields on the list.

    Of course after you press the register there is no response when I press any button.
    Maybe someone has seen something like that?

    HWSetup I can turn back-lit, but this is not the point, I would do it with a single button as before.
    Value added package 1.1.19 installed with FeatureSelect.ini 1.1.14 (common failure of Toshiba) also chcked v. 1.1.14 (two versions available)
    BIOS 2.20
    Toshiba Assist 2.01.04

    Checked the registry and saw that I have all the keys in the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Toshiba\TBS\DefaultSet ting\
    I don't want to dirty it so I did not change anything

    BTW, sory for my English: bravohelen:

  • Satellite A305-S6905 and Web Cam questions

    I apologize if there's another thread for this particular model and the question, I'm just extremely frustrated and after hundreds of searches through google, toshiba and chicony, I can't find a solution. My laptop {Toshiba Satellite A305-S6905} was originally Vista when buying. My uncle put upgraded to Windows 7 and in addition to the fact that he constantly tells me that "this copy of Windows is not genuine", my web cam suddenly stopped working. It worked fine on Vista.

    I uninstalled camera Assistance and reinstalled more than 8 times. I * think * I reinstalled the driver, but whenever I open (or try to open) helps the camera, I get the message: "Webcam is disabled or has failed." Please check your webcam settings '. I opened the Device Manager, but the Chicony webcam is not listed. Nothing about the webcam is listed. I restarted my laptop... believe me, I almost tried everything. I noticed that a lot of upgraders from Vista to Windows 7 have the same problem. Last resort, I decided to come on the website of the manufacturer of my laptop. I would appreciate help.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    If there is no entry in the Device Manager, it's quite strange. If the device works properly it is listed under imaging devices like Chicony camera.
    Somehow, it seems that there is no link between the cam and the motherboard.

    All you can do now is to test the functionality with the settings and see if the problem persists.
    If the situation will be the same, you should contact the closest service and leave technician to check the cam feature.

    I agree with the user above. Replacing the HARD drive is easy and can be done in a few minutes. On the underside, remove the cover of the HARD drive which is fixed by screws, and then you can exchange the HARD drive.
