• Satellite A300-1IK - installation after Windows I can't use the multimedia keys

  I tried to clean my laptop, so I installed Windows7 64-bit using my code, but now that I also donwloaded all drivers, I still can't use easy media keys (as for Windows Media Player, or those who must play/stop music, ect..)

  No one knows how to fix this?

  Hi dilettafornasiero,

  I think you forgot to install Toshiba value added Package this package contains the driver for these buttons (lighted) media where you can start Windows media player, for example.

  You should check the Web from Toshiba site again and search for VAP also indicated for Satellite A300. Download and install the package and after I restarted the lighted buttons should start working.

  Check this box!

• Satellite A300-1ED-CD-key for the installation of Vista OEM?

  Hi all!

  I have question. Can I legaly use cd key of windows vista Home premium preinsaled on my Satellite A300-1ED to install a clean oem Windows Vista Home Premium without toshiba or mcafee software?

  Many thanks for the answer!

  You can try to do, but it won't work. This key will not activate your own operating system preinstalled.
  This product key is for the recovery image, that you got with your laptop.

  Many people understand this wrong, especially when they sell old books on eBay and wrote: legal production key is on the bottom. And what to do with this key? You can't do anything with it.

• Satellite A300-1EH - where to find the key for Microsoft Works?

• Re: Satellite A300 - product key of Vista isn't more visible

  Hi all
  I use Satellite A300 laptop computer with Vista preinstalled OS.

  Due to a virus problem my system got crashed upward... so need to reinstall the OS... but my VISTA key at the bottom of my laptop is not visible now... is there a way to get my product as iam key still in warranty period...
  Thanks for the help in advance

  Suneel.

  Hello!

  If reinstalling Vista using a Microsoft installation disc you n t need this product key on the underside of the laptop. This key belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and t can be used with a version of Vista that you can buy in a normal store of the computer. This is why you must use the product key that comes with the version of Vista.
  OEM versions are available for manufactured goods.

  If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk you can order directly into a new Toshiba. Akuma already post the link to the workshop.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite A300-234 - product key does not work with another disk the

  Broke the new Satellite A300-234, flied Windows Vista. I did not the backup copy of the system. At the system from a disk of another laptop Toshiba A200-23d.

  The key away. What should do?

  Hello

  The point is that the product key from the underside of the laptop can t be used with another drive in Windows. It s just for the preinstalled OEM version and doesn t work with other versions.

  Normally you n t have to enter a product key if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc because it contains a picture of the factory settings and is different from a disc of Microsoft Vista.

  Anyway, as said Akuma you can order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.
  The another model of laptop recovery disk will not work because the hardware is different.

• 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 A300 - Webcam broken or a driver error?

  Hi to everyone.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300. He is eight years old, but I want to continue working with her.

  When working, he felt on the floor and the HD was damaged. I replaced it.

  Now, I just installed Windows 7 x 64 (previously, it had Win XP x 86). I installed all the drivers from Windows Update and everything works fine, except the webcam.

  Software that use the cam say "no cam 'present'. I even installed the driver from Toshiba support page (an exe that automatically downloaded a couple of drivers), but the guard cam does not.

  After that I started to suspect that the camera broke when he fell. So I would like to know how I can do to test if the camera is attached to the system that BT the OS is unable to communicate with her because of driver problem, or if the device is broken and it does not recognize the laptop itself. Is there a toshiba hardware detection software? Report software? Or can I try something like AIDA64, in which section can be listed? Or I see in windows Device Manager?

  Any help will be appreciated.

  To be honest, I think there may also be hardware related issue. On this virtual path, it is not easy to tell where the problem exactly. We cam cable or the camera itself.
  What should do? In my opinion computer laptop must be disassembled and you should check the connection of the cable cam.
  > Is there a toshiba hardware detection software? Report software?
  Not for users like you and me. This software is probably available to service providers. Theoretically, when you use these software and it is on this system is not detecting the cam you need to disassemble the machine and check.

• Satellite A300-20 q two multimedia keys do not work

  I have my Satellite A300-20 q a year and a half. Recently (a week) ago two of the six multimedia keys works in a strange way:

  At first things that remained functional:

  -Each button MM (MMB) changes its light when they are affected;
  -play, stop, forward and back buttons work when you start Windows Media Player.
  -I turn on the laptop by pressing the CD/DVD key;
  -lights up button is activated and deactivated when I run the dimmer.exe application.

  What no longer works:

  -lights button on / off don't turn the lights on and outside
  -Button CD/DVD does not take Media Player
  -both of these buttons don't not launch any application related to them: I can attribute an application, the software remembers the lines of command, but touch these two buttons, nothing happens (and, of course, the solution described in the next topic http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=134226 does not work in my case).

  I recently made only two changes in the configuration of the computer: installed CygWin and VMWare. I also tried to install CygWin a pair of months and didn't expect problems with the buttons at this time. So I suspect that VMWare has changed something in the configuration of Windows.

  Any suggestions?

  > recently has just two changes in the configuration of the computer: installed CygWin and VMWare

  The problem is installed VMWare (virtual machine)
  I read a few threads on the same issue and this tool (VMWare) affect the functionality of the multimedia keys!
  You have to remove it and you will see that the buttons works again

• Key to malfunction on Satellite A300

  Nice day

  Yesterday, I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 and then I installed it, Windows 7 RC1 and now there is a problem. Key which is symbol "Å?" Slovak keyboard for English is "------" in combination with the key shift does not :-( If you press a key on the keyboard himself appears as a character but if I use the SHIFT key on the keyboard combination and the cursor is not deleted.

  Someone can tell me if there is a problem with the laptop or is the problem of the operating system and drivers?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Have you tested the functionality of keyboard with operating system pre-installed and supported? And you will see that everything works well.

  When you try to use unsupported OS offered to test only, he should not wonder if something doesn t work well.
  I am 100% sure described issue has nothing to do with a malfunction of the equipment.

• Satellite A300-15 was: How does the Toshiba control keys?

  I recently bought a Satellite A300-15A; model: PSAJ4E;

  The laptop has 6 multimedia keys on top.
  As described in the manual, they are supposed to perform the following functions shown (from left to right): (I'm dialing for convinience to talk about later)
  1 mute / power button LED
  2 CD/DVD button
  3. Play/Pause button
  4 Stop button
  5. back button
  6 next button

  Can someone explain all the buttons above.

  The only function these peform for me are as follows;
  1st button only allows the LED turned off/turned on but does not any silent operation with any application (not even Windows Media Player). Even when he performs the operation LED is off; only 6 keys and the bottom screen 'SATELLITE' is disabled; the other LEDS (in DC, Powe. Drums, disks) are always on... What is the problem and how do I start its silent operation so that I can cut the pc with any operation of the application.

  2nd button does that open Windows Media Player. What it is supposed to do exactly?

  All other keys do nothing but work on Windows Media Player. They do not work on any other application; either VLC or any other. How can I make it work on all multimedia applications...

  Please do develop and respond with solutions.

  The last of the woks to buttons ONLY with Windows Media Player! You can't use it with 3rd party like WinAmp player.

  According to the first 2 buttons:
  You can change the functionality assign the right exe file.

  For example:
  If you want to assign the light On / Off instead of Mute, you have to go

  Toshiba Assist-> optimize-> Toshiba Button Support.
  Select Dimmer.exe and click on register and click on 'Browse' button to Toshiba support and go in C:/Program Files/Toshiba/Toshiba button Support (or TBS)

  Now the button will start the dimmer.exe

  Even you can do if you want to use Mute or other applications

  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!

• The function key does not work on Satellite A300 (PSAG4E)

  Hello!

  I have laptop Satellite A300-PSAG4E
  I had installed sp3 WinXPPro on it. All great, but some problems with keys appeared.
  First - 6 functional keys above main keyboard (1 - light (?), 2 - multimedia player (?), 3 - play/pause, 4 - stop, 5 - prev, 6 - then) just change light when they pressed, but in OS, there is no action.
  Second - by pressing the Fn key and, e.g. F2 cause no action

  All drivers and programs has been downloaded and installed from toshiba support center. Should what information I provide to solve this problem?

  Hey,.

  What you mean exactly if you write about the replacement of the lamp if you press the buttons of enlightenment? Change the color or what's happening exactly on the laptop?
  Normally the buttons of the illumination and the XP to Toshiba control controls pilot, utilities, etc.

  Using the FN + F2 key combination you can change between the profiles of different powers. Therefore, you need Toshiba Power Saver that can be downloaded on the page of Toshiba. It s really a tool where you can adjust the power and cooling settings.

  On this system operational Windows Vista has been implemented.
  To use HotKey to include Wi - Fi or Bluetooth. FN + F8 keys. It was displayed in the upper part of the screen in a revealing beautiful graphic menu.
