Media buttons do not work in Satellite P300-21st using Win 7

Hello

After the turning off my laptop, last week, the buttons of media suddenly stopped working.
The strange thing is that they are flashing all the time, even when the laptop is turned off.

I downloaded the toshiba Web site VAP (although the version was a 2009 one, if there is a new one for my laptop please let me know. Maybe I can use a VAP, a similar model.
My system is Windows 7

the other weird thing is that I have disabled the option of the illumination of the F2 Setup but the media buttons are still on.

I also tried taking the battery, etc., but nothing

any ideas?

Hello

The VAP is a Toshiba Software and as far as I know, you can use the other version of VAP, which was released for other series of laptop.
For example, you can use the VAP released for Satellite P500, P750 series or higher.

But I m wondering why the s button led is always ON even though the lighting is disabled in the BIOS.

> I also tried taking the battery, etc., but nothing
It is also my idea unplug the power adapter, remove the battery, hold down power button / stop along 30 sec.
Then connect the AC adapter and check the functionality of the multimedia buttons.

  • Satellite M70 - media buttons do not work

    Hi all

    I have been using the Satellite M70 for 2 years now. My OS is XP SP2. The laptop comes with preinstalled express media player. And I still have the Express Media Player recovery CD.

    For the reasons that I just formatted the C drive. This is not the first time that I did. But the last time after reformatting drive C Media buttons are still working fine. This time beside the reformatting, I have updated BIOS (from site Web from Toshiba) to version 1.50.

    Now media buttons do not work. And not more than (browser and CD/DVD buttons) shortcut keys. I tried to reinstall the express media player by booting from the recovery CD and reinstall chose. But the problem persists.

    Are there ways to get the media buttons still work?

    Help would be very appreciated.

    P/S: in case it is because of the update of the BIOS, is there way I can flash back to its original version?

    Hello

    I have the Satellite M70-159 with BIOS V 1.3. I'll try to update BIOS to version 1.5 to see if the same happen on my M70 laptop. I did not Express Media Player, but I will test it with running Windows XP Home edition.

    So. Windows XP Home edition, I can use all the keys with Windows media player. Browser and all media buttons work well. With WinDVD too much work.

    I don't really know why this does not work on your M70. Maybe you should remove all the stuff your laptop and do a clean install EMC and operating system itself.

  • Control buttons do not work on Satellite A300 with Win XP

    Hello

    A few days ago, I bought a new Toshiba A300-1MX.
    I had windows XP installed. Service Pack 3. BIOS is version 1.50 (told in the BIOS).

    The problem: my brilliant media keys do not work. They simply do not respond.
    Anyone with any suggestions?

    I downloaded the driver for models commute for XP and the utility hotkey for XP, and after installing it, the FN keys work (ESC, F1-5-6-7-10-11) (although that might not work F2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 12).

    Thank you people.
    Sascha

    Because the A300-1MX belongs to the series PSAGCE, you must choose and download the XP drivers for this model.

    I checked the page of the Toshiba driver and there is a BIOS 1.40 only. So Don t understand why you talk about 1.50 Bios.

    Second, Toshiba media buttons will work if you install the Toshiba utility controls on the page.
    Finally and above all, you need the common Modules for the FN buttons work.
    Only FN as F9 keys for example need an additional tool like Touch Pad on / off Utility
    The Fn F2 or F3 FN will work if a power gain has been installed and hibernation is enabled.

    So, as you can see you need more tools!

  • Re: Satellite A660 - media buttons do not work

    First of all I apologize if my language is not good, because I'm Spanish.

    I have a * Toshiba Satellite A660-13D * and this model has a button touch media at the top, next to the keyboard. Here is a picture with the buttons marked in red: [http://forums.toshiba.com/tshb/attachments/tshb/brd_input/10621/1/Toshiba-Satellite-A660-Multimedia-Notebook.jpg]
    Two days ago the buttons works well. There are a few buttons, one for an ecological mode, one to turn wireless on or off, one for play/pause Media Player, etc.. These buttons work only those who turn up and down volume. The button that activates / deactivates the Mouse-touchpad does not work too.

    I'm looking for solutions, and one of them suggests the BIOS update. I tried to update my BIOS with the downloadable files of the Toshiba website for my model of PC, but when I run the executable, it always crashes with this message: Winflash for UEFI has stopped working. I read on someone with the same problem as me and someone replied that he should try executing the BIOS via a .iso file burned into a CD-Rom and boot from it. But, where I could get this .iso file? If I enter on the Toshiba site in English and go to the download section, I can't find my model Satellite, so I can not get the appropriate files. Is my Toshiba Satellite A660 13d, and I find only A660-ST2GX1, A660-BT2G22, A660-BT3N25X and similar products.

    I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this. Thank you.

  • Satellite A100: Media buttons do not work

    Hello!

    I have the Satellite A100, Windows XP SP2. All the media buttons on the left of the keyboard has stopped working. They worked yesterday, I did not install anything or even shut down the computer since then. They just stop working.

    Can someone help me to fix it?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I think you should first of all, clean the registry.
    You can use a freeware tool called CCLeaner. It s great. I also use it.

    After removing the old Toshiba control Utility and cleaned the Windows registry reboot once more and install first the common Modules!
    After the installation of common Modules install Toshiba controls.

    Good luck and feedback would be highly appreciated.

    Good bye

  • Satellite P305-S8832 - media buttons do not work with Win7

    Hello friends, wise

    I recently installed two new hard drives (500 GB 7200 RPM OS / 500 GB 5400 RPM DATA) and I did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on my 3 1/2 Toshiba Satellite P305-S8832. Everything except the media buttons works well enough.

    I downloaded the drivers from the Toshiba repository, including the installer of the Software for Windows 7 Toshiba and package valued Toshiba. These touch buttons above the keyboard and between the speakers still doesn't work, no light, no response, nothing. I checked the bios.

    These buttons work out of the box with Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    Any advice?

    Hello

    In General, the multimedia keys are controlled by VAP (value added package) and the buttons should work after the installation of VAP.

    Found the drivers here:

  • Audio buttons do not work on Satellite M40 - 136

    Does anyone have an idea how to get the play/pause stop buttons etc.? They worked once but have not worked since.

    Hello rain.

    You did it all changes (reinstalling the OS)?
    Please check the properties of Toshiba controls in the Panel. In multimedia applications, you can set a good player that should be used for audio CDs and video DVDs.

    As far as I know these buttons can be used in Windows mode and mode of fast Media Player.

    Try to reinstall V3.14.1503 controls TOSHIBA (to 6). You can find it on the download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

  • Media buttons do not work on Qosmio X 770-h-13 using Win 8.1

    Hello

    I can't turn the service wireless to bar media from Toshiba on the keyboard.
    All the buttons (except the volume) do not seem to work.
    Eco = ko, Ko without thread = 3D = KB, CD is k, k = illuminated keyboard.

    You can enable the Windows 8.1 wireless button, even if the key on the keyboard does not work?

    Grazie
    Donato Genua

    > You can activate Windows 8.1 wireless button, even if the key on the keyboard does not work?

    Yes, you can activate the WLan settings Windows 8.1
    Press the Windows and C (charm bar will slip in)-> settings-> change PC settings
    On the left, you will see the network settings box
    Here, you should be able to activate the Wlan.

    By the way: the X 770 series doesn't seem to be winning 8.1 supported. This means that pilots Win 8.1 are not available for this model. But special software is required to use the multimedia keys.

    Not quite sure if he could help, but try installing the drivers Win 8.1 and tools (i.e. Toshiba system driver, Toshiba Key Utility function) that have been released for Qosmio X 870.

    Good luck
