• Satellite U400 - Multimedia LED stay lit when computer is OFF

  6 LED multimedia keys above the keyboard stay bright even when the computer is off and power is disconnected. I looked at the forum and tried the suggestions without success.
  I disabled the Illumination using F2 at startup, but there is no change, the LEDs remained after that computer was arrested and taken out of SERVICE.

  Also the HWSetup solution does not work because my system does not have a tab of enlightenment.
  Suggestions more please.

• 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 - multimedia key starts for laptop

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite A300 and it was turn mysteriously. After an inspection, I discovered that while the computer is totally off, if I press one of the multimedia keys (the other starting on the left) the books starts as if it had hit the power button.

  This happens to you one of you? How can I stop this?

  By the way, I installed windows 7, which I think has nothing to do because this happens with the laptop is turned off, but who knows.

  Thanks in advance.

  I think it's normal, the than mine did the same thing.

  When you press the Internet button, it will start Windows and start your browser.
  When you press the media button, it boot Windows and start the Media Player.

  I do not know how to turn it off, but it doesn't bother me anyway.

• Microsoft Wireless Natural Multimedia Keyboard, special keys on top of the keyboard do nothing

  Hello

  I use Vista 64 bit and am having a problem with my Microsoft Wireless Natural Multimedia keyboard.  I use a port USB to ps/2 adapter for keyboard can work in my Dell which has usb inputs.  I downloaded and installed ITP64Eng6.30.191.0.exe Web sites to get the keyboard work.

  Almost everything works fine except for the special keys on top of the keyboard (My Documents, my pictures, my music and Messenger).  When I press the buttons, nothing happens.  I tried the reallocation by using the software that has been installed with ITP64Eng6.30.191.0.exe nothing works.   Curiously, some other buttons special (media, mail and home) do not work except that they cannot be reassigned.  I also tried to delete and reinstalled ITP64Eng6.30.191.0.exe without success to get all of the keys on the keyboard to work.

  In addition, sometimes the return key back and to the right cursor key will not work.  Sometimes they work and sometimes they are not.  Ususally they work very well for a while and then if I reboot they will work again.

  Keyboard diagnostics does not recognize the keys that do not work as same presses.  I know that all the keys work fine when I use them on my XP machine.

  Thanks for your help.

  To study more, I start to think that the keyboard doesn't perhaps due to the adapter usb to ps/2.  I use the SABRENT USB to PS/2 (PS/2) converter adapter cable model SBT-PS2U.  Based on the reviews on newegg.com, it may be the card that is originally a few keys not working and the collage of some keys.

• 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

• Satellite U400 - 12 p - multimedia keys stopped working

  Hello.

  multimedia keys on my Satellite U400 - 12 p has recently stopped working.

  Turn everything first they get is "stuck" on, a few days ago the resulting work back and later arrested again but this time they "stuck" is off. with the backlight on the keyboard.

  I tried to re - install vap, downloaded from support.toshiba.com but now on the 'Toshiba button support' I have same options in the field "name of the button. I tried to manually launch 'dimmer.exe', but it turns out only the touchpad light on.

  In addition, anyone knows what are the. MUI files under the folder names language shortened to "c:\program files\toshiba\tbs\en\specapp.exe.mui"?

  Thank you!

  Hi mor.yg,

  Why you didn t post information about your operating system?

  In any case, I think that the problem is related to the VAP. In your case I remove it, and then restart the laptop. Use CCleaner to clean the registry and windows and restart again. Then install the latest version on the Toshiba site.

  Your laptop is listed on the page of Toshiba Europe, so you should find it here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Also check the BIOS. If you can find an option on the lighting, set it to activate it please.

  Thank you in advance.

  All the drivers for the laptop Toshiba EU models are available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver.
  If win 8 isn't supported on your laptop, this driver isn't available.

  But to my knowledge, these keys were controlled by Toshiba Value Package added (for Win Vista and Win 7).
  VAP isn t available for 8 Win / Win 8.1 more and has been replaced by the system of Toshiba driver.

  Perhaps you could install such system of Toshiba laptop driver that was released for other mobile phones latest models it of certainly worth a try

• Deactivation of the multimedia keys on Satellite A305-S6905

  I'm hoping to find a way to disable multimedia keys (touch keys at the top) on your laptop Satellite A305-S6905.

  The problem is that I teach computer for the visually impaired (blind) skills. I have a student who has this laptop, and we had a continuous problem she can't feel the keys and is accidentally pressed the mute button, turn off the sound when it turns on or off the laptop. His must be on so that its capable of reading software screen can read the screen to it. No noise, it cannot use the laptop.

  But also with the sound off it cannot go to the desktop and turn on the sound because she can't hear where he is. Because the touch buttons are flush with the Board of Directors, she cannot feel that key is to turn the sound back on. We have tried to place a marker press the mute, but under much and would not allow the button to work.

  So, anyone got a way to turn them off?

  Thank you

• Equium U400-124 easy / multimedia keys stopped working

  I recently discovered that the easy keys (soft touch multimedia keys) have stopped working. I've had this laptop for a month and then one day, they stopped resonding they set only occasionally when in a hurry and do not function they are supposed to work. After a recovery of product they started working again and after loading some of my software back on they stopped working again.

  To cut a long story short (many recoveries of product!) I took the laptop replacement, now with a new laptop of the same model that the keys have stopped working after one day. I tried the recoveries of new product and it suits it only occasionally but soon stops working again. They don't stop working after you install a specific software and after that I managed to make them work again after based them on everything as many times during the startup. I tried several times re-installation of value-added support package and also to save shortcuts to media to toshiba button in toshiba assist menu to nothing will do.

  Does anyone know what could be causing that two of these models, I had so maybe I'm not alone with this problem or know any better drivers for these keys as I suspect, this is some sort of driver problem before I have to take this second laptop back and get a different model now is come / manufacturer?

  Hello

  I'm not very well why you Toshiba control buttons were off work of m.
  But in my opinion, it would be possible that something (of the 3rd party software application) messed with the registry keys and entries.
  What you could try to clean the registry and operating system using the free tool called CCleaner.

  On the other hand a new BIOS was published on the page of Toshiba. That's why it should also update the BIOS to the latest state.

  Good luck
