Re: Satellite A500/02J-backlit keyboard upgrade

Hi all

I just bought an A500/02J but I would replace the keyboard with a backlit keyboard. I found a backlit keyboard compatible to A500 on ebay, but I wonder if the motherboard on the 02J will allow replacement.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Kind regards

I can't say with any certainty whether these updates is possible but I n t think so. I mean why Toshiba should offer this motherboard with keyboard without backlight.

Best thing you can do is to call the Toshiba service in your country and ask for help. They have experience with such things, and I think you will get the answer service guys prober.

If you discover that the upgrade is possible please let us know. This info can be useful for other owners of A5oo.

  • Strange problem code 39 on my Satellite A500-02J with constant blue screens

    I bought my Toshiba Satellite A500-02J 2-3 months ago and I opened my laptop this morning and I was not connected to the internet and had no installed audio device.

    Then I got a blue screen of death. I restarted my laptop and I went to the Device Manager to see that most of my drivers had the yellow exclamation mark with the super Code 39 error (windows didn't start my drivers for X reason...) and then I had a second blue screen. I was very careful from the beginning with this laptop and I know that this is not a virus since a did not something 'weird' with this computer. Best of all, it's that my USB ports no longer works and I can not backup my stuff important just in case...

    Thank you for helping me,

    Hi Odin

    It is not easy to say why this happens, but if there are so many problems, I advise you to install the new OS by using the HDD recovery procedure.
    Try to start your computer in safe mode and delete all data on the second partition.
    Start your laptop with F8 install OS using these instructions - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    When you install the operating system by using this method of HARD drive recovery all data saved on the second partition will not be deleted.

  • Satellite A500 - 15 h - keyboard backlight doesn't work anymore

    Hello @ all,

    After that install Win7 on my purchased new Satellite A500 - 15 h the backlight for the keyboard no longer works.
    I don't know if it worked before with vista... but if all goes well.

    Lighting is enabled in the Bios. Features (on F1 - F9) controlled by the Fn do not work as well as the tone that has been heard normally by using the function for lower keys / turn on the sound cannot be heard even if the sound signal is enabled in the BIOS.

    I hope someone can help
    Thanks in advance
    giraffe

    I have already installed value added package and updated BIOS.
    Under Linux, the keyboard is also not on.

    Hello

    First of all, you need to get the keys FN working again.
    To do this, you must install the VAP and the Toshiba Flash Cards support utility from the European driver Toshiba page.

    Regarding the backlight on the keyboard;

    Not all laptops are supported the backlight on the keyboard.
    You should check the Z button.
    If the Z button would contain a sign tiny keyboard then the laptop was equipped with backlight on the keypad and it should be possible to activate this using keys FN + Z combination.

  • Satellite A500/02J: Unable to get link REGZA/HDMI to work

    I have a laptop A500/02J Satellite with hdmi output, and I have a pre-installed toshiba hdmi control program.
    Recently, I bought a color LCD toshiba REGZA 32AV500A TV and have my computer works through the tv via hdmi.

    However, my tv has regza link and I can say that my computer supports regza/hdmi control however I can't get the link to work.

    I have a windows meda remote Center that I can use to put the computer to sleep, then wake him up to the top.

    However, one remote is better than two, also I need to be able to boot the computer from stop just by turning on the TV. Under control hdmi I can turn the computer off when the TV is off, but I don't know how to make the start-up since the closure of the computer simply by turning on the tv.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    The manual says the connected TV remote to operate the computer functions that are:
    -Use the TV remote control to exit the screen of the computer on the TV screen
    -using the remote control of the TV to launch exploit and close applications on your computer
    -Turn on the TV when the HDMI output is selected using the FN + F5 key
    -Connect the video output (HDMI or LCD) when execution of some desktop icons
    Toggle link REGA on the computer function

    But you should also check your settings and laptops BIOS settings.
    I don't very well if HDMI REGZA option is available in the BIOS but it s m worth a check

    Need help from the expert who have already done the upgrade.

    Hello

    > before installation, a message appears that I need to uninstall install ATI Catalyst and ATI catalyst Control Panel.
    And why you didn t do?
    Maybe you run an earlier version of the display drivers and so you should uninstall them before you start the upgrade.
    Check it!

    After the upgrade, you can install the latest version of the Toshiba page display driver.

  • Satellite A500 - 14L without keyboard lighting, XpressCard and TV antenna

    Hello!

    I bought a Toshiba A500 - 14l there is very little time, and I do not have the keyboard lighting (the manual says that I can activate this option with Fn + Z but it does not work).

    I do not have the antenna for TNT (how to watch TV DTT whithout this?) and I don't have the remote to the Xpress card Format, I just got BIIIGGG remote control.

    I would like to know if all users have this problem? It is not normally! False advertising?
    The after sale service said they do not know if this model have he option!

    Very funny... Toshiba don't know what they sell but in the manual, you can see the keyboard lighting!

    Thank you!

    Thank you

    > Very funny... Toshiba don t they know how to sell, but in the manual, you can see the keyboard lighting!
    I think they know exactly what they are selling, dude. It is perhaps not known to you that there are many different models of laptop computers A500 with a different hardware configuration.
    Not all laptop computers (regardless of which model it is) are equipped with the same material elements!
    You will find different and portable hardware with different price range

    Satellite A500 - 14L seems belongs to the series of PSAM3E and looks that she would support the EXPRESS CARD SLOT, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics card, HDMI output, tuner TV etc.

    Also, I downloaded the user manual of the Toshiba page and I don t find any info that an antenna would be included in the package!
    Usually, you must purchase separately!
    In user manual you can also find info this remote control is ONLY provided with * some *!

    I think that now everything should be clear to you!

  • W530 nonbacklit backlit keyboard upgrade

    Hey people,

    I bought a little used W530 back this summer. I love this thing, it has all the power I need for one SSD + extension of 1 TB HDD, 1080 p screen, etc.. Check all the boxes in what I want in a laptop. The only thing that I forgot to check on was backlit keyboard... and of course, he does have one. It was fine without it, but at Christmas to come, I can going to enjoy the upgrade. I saw the backlit keyboard for sale on ebay on other sites and confirmed the swap is physically possible, but I have not heard if there is nothing you need to do to physically install. For example, right now FN + space the lights to think; with the backlit keyboard, I think this activates the backlight. The thinkpad will automatically perform this when the keyboard is installed or I have to update the BIOS or something?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!!

    My w530 came with a keyboard not backlit. I bought one on ebay, swap took three minutes, and no updates or other actions are required. FN + space works as before, it passes between the backlight (two levels), thinklight and turned off.
