Equium P200D - reduce the brightness of the indicators before LED

I have a laptop Toshiba Equium P200D-139, model number PSPBNE-004003KS model name.

The façade has four LED indicator, color blue and visible on the screen open or closed. They are for the input DC power, battery, and HARD drive.

_My problem and question: _

Led lights are extremely bright. In fact, they are so bright that they are a source of severe distraction, especially in a dark room. I'd say it's clearly a design flaw. They must be performed in a smaller current, be placed behind a darker filter. * Is it possible to reduce the intensity of the LEDS using software? * I was wondering if a command-line script or something similar may be available to do this - I did once something similar to toggle the CPU fan on my old Toshiba Satellite CT 210.

_Background: _

I bought the laptop a few days ago (March 2008), for £399. Is for me very good report quality / price, but in my opinion it is rented by the above-mentioned design LED fault and a very cheap feeling keyboard, with keys that creak and stick to the opportunity. The built-in speakers are also low-power. I wonder if it is a version produced exclusively for this store at a certain price point and that these questions are unintentionally introduced?

Thank you

Rich (a friend of Claire set up the machine for her!)

Hello rich

As a first step, I would like to say that I have the same model of laptop Satellite P200D-111. To be honest, I don't understand why write you about the problems. For me you just wrote on your personal opinion. It is logical that each of us has different opinions and I can understand you. But why all this set as a kind of design flaw. Sorry, but this is really ridiculous. Can you give me 100 different products and if I want to I'll find a design fault on each of them.

Back to your question: all you can do is disable the SATELLITE led (BIOS settings > advanced > last option) but all the other LEDs placed in the Middle cannot be disabled and the LED intensity can be reduced. You can use tape and cover these LEDs.

What about keyboard: I really don't have what you would expect. The keyboard is really stable and the buttons feel good. I use it for work and have really no problem at all.
In the end, you need to know for this money, you have very good laptop. If you need better quality, why you didn t buy laptop for £1000. As you know all laptop manufacturers have models of different laptops. It's your choice.

More money, better quality. But I still think that this Satellite P200D money is really good for laptop. Do you know that only Satellite/Equium P200 has 6 USB ports? Not bad! What do you think?

Good luck and enjoy this cute portable!

  • Why the ePrintCenter sends reduced the size of the images?

    I have 2 HP Envy 100 D410 printers (one in California) and the other in Colorado. Both are implemented for eprint. They both worked well in the past. Recently (past week or two), printing e-mail messages to these printers on half size centered at the top of the page. The printer is connected to my local network in California prints fine when print jobs are sent directly to the printer. So it seems there have been some changes in the ePrintCenter, which reduces the attachments before sending them to the printer.

    Can anyone confirm that this is happening on your printer, the same model or different?

    I'm glad it works for you now. Let me know if something develops or you need help. I'm always happy to try and help.

  • Equium P200D - Question about running out of space on the HARD disk

    First of all, let me say that I am a Silver Surfer and don't know much about how works laptop or where it stores information!
    I don't am not in the least HI - TEC so please be gentle with me.

    I use an older Equium P200d for 1 year with two 40 GB hard drives each.
    My C drive has only 2 GB of memory left available while my E drive still has 30 GB.

    I have only 3.7 GB of programs loaded (according to the research of control panel) and I know that I have 4 GB of music.

    My query is - where is the other 30 GB missing?

    I made the Scandisc option and deleted all the stuff from there and a defragmentation procedure.

    Y at - it searches I can run to find junk I have more need?

    Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.

    Hey Buddy

    If you are using Vista, then you should consider that Vista creates an additional partition on the HARD drive.
    It s hidden and it contains backup files in order to repair the operating system if something goes wrong.

    In addition HARD drive must also contain HARD drive recovery files (image).
    These files are required to recover the laptop HARD drive.

    So the hidden partition and the recovery of HARD drive that could be the main reason why you noticed smaller amount of space available on the HARD disk

  • How to reduce the brightness of the screen under the standard level

    Hello!

    How to reduce the brightness of the screen under the standard level in ThinkPad T520?

    I think we can somehow, but I don't know how. I reduced the brightness to zero with the Fn button + button end, but this is not enough, I want to make the screen darker, because my eyes get tired.

    The last (from Lenovo) Intel graphics driver is here:
    http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/MIGR-77038

    This should provide a decent lower limit on the brightness. If the installation complains about the non supported hardware, force the installation using the devices and Disk Manager. (Something like this: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/11997-have-disk-method-for-windows-7-vista/ )

    If this does not work, try f.lux (https://justgetflux.com/). It has a dimming function software (of course, he loses the contrast).

  • Display dims 30 seconds once I log on vista (32 bit). I reduced the brightness to half way and is annoying.

    The screen of a laptop Toshiba a215-s4807, fades after I connect on vista windows... and I think it's a mistake to software than a material one, because if I leave the screen connection it works well for hours and I've noticed a process starts at the same time reduces the brightness of the screen, but I don't know which one it is or what it could trigger. I made some updates installed Windows and then, but it's also happened once I tried to shut down the computer - which he has not responded... so I hibernated it... and it sorta got confused and got this dark screen for semi-bas is a software problem, but I can't fix it... someone please think where I can reset the problem gradation, processes that could affect it. that I don't want to reinstall windows, again...

    I fixed it! and to anyone who might have had it... Come play with the software of the video card... such as... reinstall, reset, ati catalyst software that... It will turn back on.

  • I can reduce the brightness of the screen of the BIOS?

    I have HP Pavilion dv7 7003 - portable tx which has 17.3 "FHD display. I have 2 simple questions that I have not found someone asked before.

    First question. I can easily adjust brightness laptop computer under Windows 7. But the BIOS screen full backlit. Normally, it is not a problem (because of the black of the screen IE "Press ESC for Boot Menu" and the Windows Logo on a black background). But when I access the BIOS Setup or upgrade of BIOS (of course), it's no doubt noticeable that this laptop backlit is complete before starting Windows. When I connect the laptop with an HDTV via HDMI, BIOS Configuration screen backlit is bearable in the screen of the TV (depending on the setting of the TV) and unbearable (IE full backlit and white background of the HP BIOS configuration) in the screen of the laptop at the same time. It is a problem of laptop screen adjustment. I want to adjust the brightness of the laptop regardless of starting Windows screen. I can reduce the brightness of the screen of the BIOS in your laptop monitor?

    Second question. Can I put in screen laptop for something like "fit screen"? Currently, it is set to something like "Stretch screen. I don't like the duct Chassis Windows startup Logo. However, under Windows, I can play 4:3 resolution games in something like setting "fit screen".

    Thank you.

    Not the F2 and F3 keys is not a function in the BIOS. The screen cannot be cleared up or dimmed inside the BIOS.

    For the issue of screen resolution, the resolution provided for within Windows should also be the resolution on login/Welcome screen. Try to reset your resolution in Windows (without an attached external monitor), and then restart it a few times to see if the resolution sticks throughout the boot process. Let me know the results when you get a chance.

  • Reducing the size of the Panel complete front to adjust the screen resolution of 1024 pixels / 786 pixels

    Hello.

    I designed the app and now I found the screen resolution required is 1024/786. I have a lot of orders and indicators and very worried that the façade will lose his eye and he'll take a lot of time to be set for each control and text.

    I wonder if this is the way I could shrink the size of the front panel so it automatically reduces the size of each control and indicator and it fits well in the required resolution. Any ideas?

    Thanks for help

  • Need to reduce the size of the PDF file BUT leave the image alone

    Hello

    I noticed that PDF files that are edited a lot tend to accumulate bad objects. I would like to clean my files, but the last time I tried the command "reduce the size of the file. I noticed that in addition to removing the invalid objects (good idea), the image has been compressed (bad idea). It is the resolution of my images is very important, and I don't mind paying the price of having a larger file.

    Y at - it sort of selectively decide what gets 'cleaned' and what is left alone?

    The reason why you use a TR TIFF not compressed, so there is no loss of data - so it is very broad - must either compressed (JPEG format for example) where there are some (very minor I you use low compression - high quality) or delete some data in order to reduce its size
