Dolby Digital, bluetooth, screen brightness, and win7, Y550

for as far as I know the drivers on the website of lenovo for win7 x 64 everything works except the ability to change the brightness of the screen, the button digital dolby, will get and I don't even know if its actually a function, but the ability to change the settings for onetouch theatre. If a win7 driver wasn't available, I used a vista x 64 driver. but I installed all the latest drivers from this post.

How will I know if I actually have bluetooth capabilities? Newegg has said nothing about this, but I can see the bluetooth icon bit.

  • Satellite L670 - looking on the screen BRIGHTNESS and volume display

    Hello. I have a Satellite L670 and I m looking for the on-screen display of the volume and BRIGHTNESS.

    It is the first of my laptop which seems to offer not to display these key elements and it is very sinuous to find the standard 3 + 4 for the volume keys and F6 + F7 for brightness, especially in an environment dark.

    Before this Toishiba had a few DELL Latitude and Inspiron Laptops and my wife uses a Samsung and had all this laptop-screen computers or the possibility of opening the display of the volume on fn + arrow keys.

    Please excuse my English. Maybe someone can understand my problem anyway ;-)

    Hello

    What you want to say no to the display screen?

    Different laptops have different combination of FN keys. On Toshiba laptops, you can change the display by pressing FN + F6/F7 and on other laptops, you have other F - keys for this. There is no standard for these FN keys.

    Usually, if you press the FN key only you should see at the top of the screen flash cards. You see them?

  • Bluetooth on T500 and Win7-64 bit... How can it be difficult? !!

    Hello

    I have read several posts on this subject, but none of them solved my problem.

    I have a T500 2055-RH2, with windows 7 64 bit.

    I just bought a mouse bluetooth online and imagine how I feel after 3 hours of debugging-no need to install a mouse. In fact, my problem is more basic, I don't have bluetooth.

    I tried to install: Bluetooth with Enhanced Data rate software II for Windows 7, Vista - ThinkPad

    When I install it, it says finally that I have no bluetooth device, so somehow my bluetooth adapter is NOT enabled. Then I tried Fn + F5 to turn it on, but it is useless, because I do not see my WIFI inside, no trace of bluetooth...

    On the forum, I tried to install: ThinkPad Power Management driver for Windows 7

    I think it was already installed, but I installed it anyway, still no change, no provision of the Fn + F5, still nothing.

    I then even installed a driver WIDCOMM (broadcom), but then again, he says that he cannot find any bluetooth device.

    Is there an error that I don't know? Should I reinstall anything? What the HELL is wrong? How hard is it supposed to be to install such a base as bluetooth function? !

    Should I just throw the laptop out the window? Because I really want... (arg!)

  • By pressing F2, F3, F4 and similar keys makes functions such as screen brightness adjustment... How can I disable that I can't play FSX?

    Hi reading FSX, I must be able to use, hold the keys such as F2, F3, F4, etc.. However, on my new computer, these same keys does things such as adjusting the screen brightness and raise a few weird screen, instead of performing the function of game. I would like to know if there if there is a way to disable it or put so that she will only perform the function of play instead of these functions. I used to have a 2009 computer that has Windows 7, but the keys on the top did not have these features. The F keys on this computer are displayed to do things like play, rewind, fast forward, go directly to the support centre, and as I mentioned previously set things and the brightness of the screen. It's pretty boring, and I need to be disabled to play FS as well as other games.

    Thank you

    The HP DV7 series uses the BIOS to control whether the keys F1-F12 > act as F1, F2, etc. or as the Fn + F1, Fn + F2, etc.

    Reboot the laptop and start typing F10 as soon as he starts under tension. Enter in the BIOS, and then select the System Configuration screen. There is an option for the Keys of Mode of Action , you need to change. I regret that I have not more specific instructions, but your user manual should have details.

    Save the changes to the BIOS settings and restart the computer. Now, brightness, volume, etc. will be controlled by a combination of keys Fn + F1-F12 > and your F1 through F12 keys should work normally for programs and games.

  • Adjusting Brightness and contrast on the Satellite L550-113

    I am a user with low vision and I think buy the Satellite L550-113, but before I do that I need to be sure that the adjustable screen brightness/contrast very easily, preferably through the orders of material as opposed to via the control panel. I also need to make sure that we can do (i.e. too dull for a non-disabled user) rather dull screen.

    Could someone give advice on how to adjust the screen contrast and brightness on Toshiba L550-113? In addition, the screen has a glossy or matte finish?

    General information about the quality and ease of use of the screen will be very useful and much appreciated! Thank you.

    Hi mate!

    Yes, the brightness of the screen can easily adjust via the FN keys. You have to press FN + F7 to increase the screen brightness and FN + F6 to decrease the brightness of the screen. In addition, in Vista power management you can also adjust the brightness of the screen and save settings for profiles of different powers and block or power mode.

    AFAIK Satellite L550 has a brightness screen like any other portable satellite.

    I hope I could help a bit! :)

  • volume brightness and display bar appears

    My HP pavilion laptop bar levels appears. There is a key for the adjustment of the brightness level and volume display. for example when increase us the level of vol., bars displayed on the screen. but randomly the level bar appears. my keys do not work correctly.

    Hey Sam,

    We display screen brightness and volume is a function of a device that is not a part of Windows. HP may have (for example HP Quicktouch) software that controls the on-screen visuals and sounds.  So it would be nice if you could in touch with HP about this.

    You try to install the most recent drivers based on model number laptop from HP Web site to ensure that it is not a driver problem.

  • 55VL900A and BDX4300KY - TV is not output Dolby Digital fiber optic

    Just installed my new TV, 55VL900A - great picture, very happy. I have a BDX4300KY a drive blueray and Foxtel connected to the TV via HDMI.

    The TV has audio output optical fiber, which I run for my Yamaha DSP - A1 amp.

    The Blueray and Foxtel are defined to pass on Dolby Digital through HDMI.

    Problem 1: TV does not have Dolby Digital of the fiber optic connection.

    Problem 2: If I run audio blueray or foxtel fiber optics directly to my amp, there is a sync problem. The audio is delivered earlier than the image.

    I searched and found no results in my manual, or in the forum. Help, please.

    Thank you, Mike.

    Hello

    I put t have the same devices at home, but I use the optical cable for sound. It is connected to my blue ray and Technichs amp player. I use 5.1 home theater connected to the Technics. The sound is perfect.

    I put t know how it works on TV Toshiba but check please if something should be enabled there.
    > The TV does not have Dolby Digital of the fiber optic connection.
    See s operating manuals and do not forget the optical output must not be activated. Optical cable is connected to the amp in the optical port marked as TV in the back? Don't forget that bulks is set to TV chanel when you want to hear the sound of the TV directly. In my opinion, it should be best option for you if you will be able to make it work.
    > If I run audio blueray or foxtel fiber optics directly to my amp, there is a sync problem. The audio is delivered earlier than the image.
    Which is really strange. Can you please test it with cable audio normal cinch? It will be interesting to know if the same problem occurs again.

    Hi mate

    To be honest, I've ever seen something like that
    Usually, the FN + F6 and Fn F7 function key should decrease and increase the brightness.
    I wonder why it does not work properly.

    Maybe it's a question of s an OS so you should recover the unit using the drive HARD recovery option.
    Press F8 when the laptop is turned on, and then select Repair my computer and then choose HARD drive recovery.
    The operating system would be installed again and you can check the brightness again!

    Otherwise, it could be a hardware problem as defective FL inverter...

  • T420s - screen brightness increases and decreases

    I noticed on my T420s that changes of screen brightness according to the image on the screen.

    For example:

    -I'm looking at some site with black background and gray letters

    When I pass screen for my outlook or for example firefox with this forum which first minutes white white background is gray and then it becomes whiter and whiter until after about 2 seconds, he moved.

    I thought at first my eyes question, but it is certainly behavior from my laptop.

    Anyone with the same problem? Can do this set by some software/Power Manager tweak?

    Do you use your laptop on battery when this happens?

    It is a setting I believe you can disable in the Intel graphics settings. Mine does the same thing - it's supposed to save energy.

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    3. What is the number of brand and model of the laptop?

    Many laptop manufacturers have a setting in the BIOS to correct the brightness on the laptop when the power or battery.

    I suggest that you check in the basic input/output system BIOS if you have such an option available.

    For additional help, you can contact the manufacturer of the laptop.

    I would also say that you update the drivers of basic input/output system BIOS and Chipset on the laptop by contacting the manufacturer of the laptop.
