LED power button fix

Toshiba
Satellite P300-h-13

By Thom
Wijtenburg

First of all, I would like to
say you that I came up with this correction, after a clean reinstall of the
Vista. (I used the serial number of windows on the bottom of my laptop for)
install, so it's the same license as the OEM of windows and therefore
Tout_a_fait legal.) After the clean install and installation of all the
the drivers listed on the site of toshiba LED power button (also
known as the mute button) and the CDDVD butten (mediaplayer button)
stopped working. After browsing around forums toshiba I found
this case, I removed the support button utility that the mute button has acted as
a mute button. Also the mediaplayer button worked fine. Reinstalled
the utility support for the button and they have stopped working. After many
toshiba calls (I think about 5-6 in one day) they opened a
support ticket for me, because they (team support callcenter)
could not find a solution. Following their advice, I did the
next to try to make it work:

* Don't have a system restore with the restore DVD.
* Do you have an another clean install.
* Install the drivers in various ways (alphabetically reversed by alphabetical order and order of collection DVD).
* update my BIOS.
* downloaded a 'new' version of value added package (which was the same thing I already had).
* installed the VAP with and without technical support button utility, no changes.
After doing everything
This, they said that they did not know the cause of my problem (at the beginning
they thought it was hardware related). They came with a possible
anwer:

"It is."
possible that we removed some features of windows vista
operating system so that our one utility for device drivers
work. In addition, we do support the configuration, that we delivered
When you bought the laptop. »

Now of course, I have
understand that. I waited allmost a week, no response. Neither
by electronic mail, or by phone, so I decided to google more
on the problem.

After a certain
some research on Toshiba forum and Googling I came across
a thread that sayd I must first install the utility 'control '.
and the button press. Unfortunately what it did not work.

Then, all of a sudden
Windows displays a message saying that I should install the TOSHIBA.
"ACPI-based value-added general use and logical device driver.
I clicked on the provided download link, and the VFR package was a newer version
version of the support page for my laptop which is held. So I downloaded
This PPV version 1.17 and installed it. After a reboot, the buttons
still did not work. But at least I got the file HWSetup.exe, where I
could turn the LED off. Look into the button holder utility, I have
saw that there where buttons like "Toshiba Assist" which my
the laptop model is not.

Navigation
through the toshiba forum I found a file named ButtonSettings.ini, in
which I can manually configure special keys. After a google
search on the name of the file, I found that all the buttons list
in a registry key. I saw the "Dimmer" file using the button
folder and clicked on it. Poof... lights went out. Click again,
Poof... lights turn it back on. So I replaced the wrong button definitions
with CDDVD and dimmer values. Saved my changes but is not a restart.
Opens the support button utility and change the path of
MediaPlayer (who was always there to a previous definition) to
Dimmer.exe. checked to see if the button CDDVD pointed
MediaPlayer and restarted. When everything has been started, I pushed on the
button again and presto... MUTE lights off. Pushed again, poof...
lights. Pressed the mediaplayer button and started to mediaplyer. I have
has been very happy when everything worked.
Now that you
know the story, here's the fix.

* Difficulty: *.
* Download and install the new VAP from here: [http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/util_tvap_26084A.exe]
* Choose Edit in the installation and make sure that everything is checked
* do NOT restart after the installation.
* Download the ini fix and the fixed registry
* Uncompress its contents into your working folder.
* Copy the ini into C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TBS (where C: is the drive of program files)
* In this same folder, start the exe called TBSbtnSt.exe
* do NOT restart, click on 'no' in the dialog box.
* Double click on the registry key, and then click 'Yes' to add to the registry
* Then open the button support utility by clicking Start-> Toshiba-> utilities-> Toshiba assist. Help go to optimilization and click support button tohiba
* If the path or the description is disabled, fix, and then click Save. See also if the CD/DVD mediaplayer points.
* Restart you computer now.
* If everything is is well past your special buttons should work.

* WARNING: *.

It worked for
me, with my Toshiba Satellite P300-h-13, edition windows Home premium 32-bit.
It should work on any model of 6 buttons with the mediaplayer and the mute
buttons. I am in no way responsible for any damage that may arise
If the fix does not work correctly. There is absolutely no. GARUENTEE
It will work for you. If the answer is Yes, he does, and if it's not it
doesn't work.

Problems starting with Satellite P300 - 19K

I have a portable Satellite P300 - 19K 1 month.

Several times since I got it when I booted my system and got the password to logon windows my screen became a series of coloured horizontal lines and the Hung system completely. The only solution was to close by holding power button for 5 seconds. Screen start then on reboot that I would get in the trunk, but that did not work. Then, I learned that if I use the F8 key just I hit the power button I can get into a lot of upgraders and I was able to recover using the restore system but every time I lose a few programs that I need to reinstall.

What has now happened 4 times in a month and becomes boring. I downloaded the latest display driver for the display of my card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, but when I went to install it I learned the version I have on board is the same and everything is beautiful.

Someone had something similar or have a solution?

Hello

If this happens with own pre-installed Vista (factory settings), please contact the nearest service provider and ask for help.
Please do not test with some additional drivers. It WILL work properly with the factory settings.

Good luck!

UP2716D power button problem

Hello

so I bought a monitor UP2716D the other day and I have a problem with the power button (which is sensitive to the touch). So, the thing is that most of the time I have to press the button 5 - 6 times before she feeds, it rarely works the first time. It only occurs with the power button, the menu buttons work perfectly. Does anyone else have this kind of problem, or possibly a solution?

Thank you.

I know, it's so boring! But what I realized, is that if you drag your finger from left to right on the power button slightly, she works as 99% of the time, so I hope this helps.

Satellite U400-12F: LED power button & HDD protector tool does not work

Hello

I have a Satellite U400-12F and I bought a Vista Ultimate.
After you have installed all the drivers and Toshiba of the corect order downloads, the button to turn on the power lights does not work.

And I tried to install HDD protection Utility but the installer returned an error like 'cannot be installed on this model.
Do you know why these problems?

Thank you very much
concerning
Daniel

> After installing all the drivers and software of Toshiba by order, the button to turn on the power switch lights does not work.
Please check the BIOS settings. As I m not wrong not it takes an option called LED illumination or something like that. There you can turn on and off.
Also, try to customize the special button of TOSHIBA using the Toshiba control utility.
There are also some useful options.
But to be honest I n not know exactly if this button doesn't work with Win XP. Maybe this feature is not available in XP.

> I tried to install HDD protection Utility but the installer returned an error like 'cannot be installed on this model.
This error message appears if you try to install a tool that was not designed for this series of laptop.
The U400-12F seems to belong to the PSU40E. Check if it s a good tool.

How do windows 7 start, power button problems

Windows 7 Home premium on side of Dell inspiron 560 3.6

Windows does not start when the Start button / stop is pressed, windows has become a mini dump to protect the system, there is a timer on the Start button, what is the procedure to start?

Hi Joan,

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

a. you are able to view the Dell logo, when the system is turned on?

b. What do you mean when you say, "windows went into a mini discharge to protect the system?"

c. you are able to boot, sometimes, when you refer to "timer on the Start button? What Timer are you referring?

d. do you have the Windows 7 installation disc?

e. What is the final on-screen display when you turn on the system and let idle?

If you are not yet able to see the logo of the manufacturer Dell during system startup, you may need to communicate with the hardware Dell supports for the diagnostic system hardware.

If, however, you are able to see the nut of Dell logo not able to reach the login screen, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

Method 1:

If you have not tried running a startup of your system using a Windows 7 DVDrepair, I suggest you to try once. Try to boot from a disc to install Windows 7 on the Windows recovery environment mode and then try to run the Startup Repair tool and check if you are able to start normally.

See the section: How to use Startup Repair in the following link.

Startup Repair: frequently asked questions

If the problem persists, try the following method.

Method 2:

Step 1: Try to start your system in a State of services necessary to the operation and a minimum set of drivers enabled, called Safe Mode.
Start your computer in safe mode

Step 2: If the system works fine in safe mode, try to clean the system startup:

How to perform a clean boot in Windows

Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.

Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

Satellite A300 - 1GN PASGCE - LED light button does not work with Win 7

I improve my laptop for windows 7 everything works fine but the touchpad multimedia light led power button does not work.
Play, stop, next work earlier but not the light / off does not work.

No idea why?

Hello

Maybe it's a question of s a Win 7.
I mean that the software is not intended for Win 7 but only for Vista.

But you should check if you can reconfigure this button again.
In Toshiba Assist-> optimize, you can find the Support of Toshiba Button tool.
This tool can be used for the new configuration of the control buttons.

First click on the button that you want to reconfigure and target path you can then choose the path to the exe file that must be executed by pressing this button.

As far as I know that the exe files are placed in the program files/Toshiba/TSB folder.

You will find different applications and one of these applications control the light on/off.

Hello Jay

I agree with Akuma. All you can do is remove VAP preinstalled system and reinstall the latest version. Why you didn t follow the instructions to restart the computer after the installation of VAP?

I installed VAP several times on my Satellite P200 and Satellite A300 without any problem, but after installing the latest version, I rebooted phone immediately. The procedure of the facilities has been completed and necessary processes started in the background. I guess that's the problem on your Satellite P300.

If nothing is done the last step is to install the OS by using the DVD facilities. After doing this you will own preinstalled OS and everything works well again.

Satellite P300 - freeze on Boot after POST

Hi all

I have a problem with my Satellite P300, my pc freeze (freeze) after the detection of devices.
You can see a screenshot here: * http://uploads.siteduzero.com/files/253001_254000/253465.jpg *.

I turned off of the battery during the night: nothing
I connect the two G1 under memory for 30 min: nothing
No matter what I do, it crashes at the same place.
I tried to change the memory and the HARD drive, I'm sure they are OK

How can I make a clear CMOS on Satellite P300 please?

Can someone help me please?

Thank you very much

(I'm French: p)

Hello AJAX,.

> How can I make a clear CMOS on Satellite P300 please?
This is not possible, mate.

You can access the BIOS Setup when you press the F2 key?

If this isn't the case I think that you already have what you can try and it seems to be a serious malfunction of equipment. So I contact nearest authorized maintainer and ask for help. ;)

Satellite P300-1 year - backward and forward compatibility

Hi all

fisrt of all thanks in advance to anyone who could help me.

I had some problems with my Satellite P300-1 year, which comes with Vista Home premium, I think that for some 'bad' something SW installation becomes to be 'unstable' (i.e. help guide disappeared and also search folder no longer works, other things more "spots"...).

So, since vista is not my favorite one (start too long), I intend to advance towards the back (Win XP, which I already drive), or (windows 7, I need to buy).
So here's the question: is compatible P300-1 year (I want to say is there every driver available for) under Windows XP or Windows 7.

Latest: is it possible to upgrade directly WITHOUT doing a CLEAN install (to avoid the backup or re - install SW) from vista to 7 (and if yes which: home, pro, ultimate?).

Thanks again
BRs

Hello

You can use both: Win XP and Win 7.
But I prefer Win 7 because it is the most recent Windows system and the best.
In addition, Win 7 will build more Win XP and all new applications are designed for Win 7.

Satellite P300 - 161 freeze randomly.

Hi all

I have some problem with my Satellite P300-161.
He is running on MS Vista and I get random freezing with the computer laptop everything.

By freezing, I hear every application that runs past to the mode "not responding" and it freezes for about 10 seconds, then after 10 seconds or so everything will return to normal. HOWEVER, sometimes in frozen mode, I can thaw the laptop while hitting / drawing the space next to the touchpad... I know it's bad, but it's the best way to solve this problem.

Is there anyone who knows why it freezes like that? Internal hardware problem? This component is under the area as I type?

Oh I should add also that when he is in frozen mode, there is this very very slight hum from the laptop, that noise disappears as soon as the laptop stops freezing.

Thanks in advance.

PS. I uninstalled the operating system more twice if the OS is not the problem as I know.

Satellite P300-1EU - msahci.sys missing for Vista

I have a problem with the Satellite P300-1EU, Vista not started because he wanted msahci.sys file.
I have no restore DVD. You have a solution for this problem?

Cordially Rb

Is that what you have just activated AHCI against drives in the BIOS? If to put the setting back to the IDE and the problem is solved.

If you can start your computer in safe mode, then the AHCI driver should reactivation. There is a solution with a single click here [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976].
If msahci.sys is not on your hard drive, then there are sites that allow download of system files. I think that the file must be in c:\windows\system32
