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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 A660 (PSAW3E) - FN keys not working not

    Hello
    I reinstalled my windows 7 64 bit on my laptop Satellite A660 and downloaded most, if not all the drivers on the official site of Toshiba UK.

    Although I do not use the FN keys, keep it bugs me knowing that they do not work.

    So... when I press the fn and none of my keys f1 - f9, they do not do anything, no card flash or anything like that.

    But the touch buttons to the upper work (the eco (I think), wireless, media, pause/start, light, decrease volume and increase volume) when I press them they sound and everything, but no flash cards is (not sure but I think that there is no flash cards for those) However when I press the power button on top of the mouse everything works including the flash ECAD

    The normal keys F1 - F12 function

    Tried to uninstall the pack of value-added and install again (after rebooting my laptop)
    Tried to restart flash cards too
    None of the above worked.

  • On my Satellite A660 TV tuner does not work

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A660-07 one a few months ago and then reinstalled Windows 7 32-bit system in order to have more than a few partitions. But I had not deleted the hidden partition the system just in case I need to restore factory settings.

    Now I have moved to a remote area and need a TV but only to discover that the tuner did not work. It is detected correctly under sound devices and games in the Device Manager. However, when I use windows media center to scan channels. The WMC just says the software has encountered a serious error and try again.

    Then I tried to use Blaze DTV, which is also a very popular DTV software. Successfully, it recognizes the Tuner but will not scan either.

    I did some research and used the advocatus of configuration of the tuner TV in Windows 7. The warning message is that "the tuner is not properly configured to be used in Windows Media Center". And the details show that the tuner is plugged but not active for the WMC.

    But how do I then activate the tuner for WMC?

    Really hope that someone can help as I am now panic in a small town remote in New Testament.

    Thank you!

    > I bought a Toshiba Satellite A660-07 one a few months ago and then reinstalled Windows 7 32-bit system in order to have more than a few partitions. But I had not deleted the hidden partition the system just in case I need to restore factory settings.
    I see a big problem here. If you have installed your own version of Windows then you will not be able to start the installation of image factory more.
    Due to this fact Toshiba strongly recommends the creation of recovery DVDs. It is described in s operating manuals.

    In any case, one question at first: you've found the right 32-bit driver TV tuner? TV tuner is installed correctly?

  • 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

    Hi mate,

    Please visit the following link:

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jsp

    search for your computer and download the last value added package (VAP). If no one is available, then find a software which is called as "Flashcards" or something with "Flashcard buttons".
