• Brightness of the screen Satellite A200 - 1 H 2

  Last week, I bought a new A200 with Vista on it. Under Vista, I use the Fn + F6/F7 shortcut keys to change the brightness of the screen, and one night, I put the brightness to the lowest. Then I restarted the system with a Windows XP installation cd, and the brightness stayed with the smaller settings.
  In Windows XP, I have install Toshiba Power Saver and I can adjust the brightness of the screen again, but I suspect that I can't do it as bright as before again.

  So my question is, don't the A200 screens have fixed brightness settings (1 to 8) or are they related?
  example, if you set the brightness to 1 using the hardware keys and you install a new OS, then the Toshiba Power Saver will recognize fixing 1-8, so in fact your new maximum brightness becomes 1. This would mean that the brightness is relative, or is that not the case?

  As far as I know the last option will be saved in the BIOS and after installing the new OS, the OS take this option in the BIOS. I noticed the same thing on my Satellite P200.

  I think the best option is to have BIOS updated to version 5. XX (version supported WXP) installed WXP, all the drivers, tools and utilities for you and everything will be OK.

  Hello

  You can adjust the brightness of the screen using Toshiba Power Saver? With this tool, I can set the brightness of the screen for Macintosh (AC adapter) and normal (battery). I like it a lot because I can also put more options and you can download it on the Toshiba site:

  For the FN keys on your laptop, you need the tools Toshiba you can find on the site of Toshiba, too.

• Windows 8: brightness of the screen changes (Satellite L855-11 t)

  Hello

  I own a satellite L855-11 t and installed Windows 8 Pro x 64 (full version DreamSpark). Everything works well except for one thing: I can't change the brightness of the screen.

  I installed the new drivers and PVAT, system driver, etc. (even of csd.toshiba.com, because these are already for Windows 8). Toshiba function key does not work, do not know why. And Intel won't let me install the display driver: my system does not meet the requirements. I thought that there is a GPU integrated into Ivy Bridge?

  Well, when I press FN + F2/F3 brightness indicator appears and changes its value, but nothing happens not on my screen. I just stay the same (which seems to be applied after a reboot). I disabled same Adaptive brightness, but it did not help. Any other function key work correctly (out of the box by the way).

  I hope you can help me.

  At present, it is not easy help with Win8 malfunctions. Until doesn t support official Win8 Toshiba we write just on good or bad luck.
  In General, there are a lot of Toshiba tools and utilities that must work together. Yet he offered no tested versions.

  Display drivers for mobile units are offered and tested by the manufacturers of portable so up to what Toshiba doesn t it I think that you should use your Win8 and learn how it works. In my opinion, the key is to check all the new features. All the specific stuff from Toshiba can be installed in addition.
  Later, when Win8 support starts, you can install it again and just work well the OS, including specific functions of Toshiba.

• Satellite P500 - cannot increase the brightness of the screen

  I have a new Satellite P500.

  The problem I have is that if I have the power shut off for several hours I lose the ability to increase the brightness of the screen. I can get increased brightness to level 4 and when I increase level 8 the brightness down. If I go down, the screen goes black. The only solution I found is to turn off the power, remove the battery, put it back in and power on.

  Help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi mate,

  It's a bit confusing...
  In addition, it would be interesting to know what OS you are using. Normally, if you are running OS preinstalled from Toshiba, everything should work properly.

  So in your case, I would try to update the BIOS which you can find here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Sorry, but everything that s what I can say at the moment.

• Cannot adjust the brightness of the screen and the sleep will not work Satellite P750/P755

  On my P750/P755 Satellite I am unable to adjust the brightness of the screen.
  I can move the scale but nothing is happening on the screen.

  Also in the last two days not possible in mode "sleep" as it did before, even though I haven't changed anything.

  What did you do with your computer laptop last days?
  On this virtual path, it is not possible to say what the problem is here.
  You have installed updates? I mean all this can happen without reason?

  Have you tried to roll back the OS to an earlier time to check the functionality?
  And Yes, do you use the original pre-installed OS that you got with your laptop?

• Satellite P855: cannot change the brightness of the screen under Linux

  Hello, guys... and girls :)...

  I bought my PC Toshiba laptop fourth - P855, there windows 7 pre-installed, but I'm a fan of Linux, so I installed Kubuntu 12.04 on it and have the dual boot menu at startup...

  And I have a very annoying problem - I can not change the brightness of the screen somehow, so keep it up... for the brightness function keys do not work, and the slider for brightness change anything...
  It works on windows, so I guess that's not the hardware problem...

  So, can you help me? ... I tried many things, tried different distributions also, but on none of them, I am able to change the brightness. And also - I tried the same distribution on the different laptops, and it works great, even from Live CD, no installation...

  I was able to change the brightness on previous phones I had... so why is this one so well done for Windows? ...

  > It works on windows, so I guess that's not the hardware problem.

  It's okay is not hardware problem, it looks like a bug in the Linux kernel or driver problem.

  Given that Linux is not officially supported on Toshiba laptops, I would recommend checking the support forum for the Linux distribution you use check also system Linux bugs for a possible solution on some linux support pages.

• Questions about the scale of the DPI and the brightness of the screen on Satellite L350-145

  I'm trying to customize a L350-145 (screen 17 ") to a user who has some problems of Visual discomfort (difficulty with bright screens and small print).

  (1) ease of access of Vista, control panel DPI scale offers two resolutions, 96, and 120. Even the 120 is a bit small for this user, so I put a custom DPI to 144 (150%). However, I anticipate that some applications could not deal with this font size, so I intend to create a second user that the user could switch to which still had the standard DPI setting. However, to try this I find that change the DPI for one user affect the users of the computer. The DPI is implemented by not part of the user profile?

  (2) I set the brightness level to 1 (through power settings). However, even if this is a little live sometimes. Is there another way to lower the brightness of the screen further away?

  Thank you

  2. do you can not go lower. I guess you could buy a filter sieve that filters glare.

• Satellite A135-S4467 cannot control the brightness of the screen

  My screen is really weak and I can't adjust the brightness.
  I have XP here, all the latest drivers.

  A suggestion on how to clear the air!

  Hello

  The brightness of the screen is usually set at a higher level, also if the FN buttons do not work because of the missing driver or utility _ALWAYS_!

  That's why I put t understand why you screen is small.
  Check the screen brightness with preinstalled Vista operating system?

  Before you install other OS like Win XP, you should check that the brightness of the screen has been set at a higher level.

  PS: it could be also a hardware fault as a malfunction of the FL inverter and, therefore, it of really necessary that you check what current functional full Vista OS!

• Dysfunction of the brightness of the screen - Satellite M100

  Hello

  I have a strange problem with my Toshiba m-100.
  The brightness of the screen seems to not work in reverse. So when windows starts even if the computer is configured for the brightness of the full screen, it shows also very dark. When to use the keyboard function keys to lower the brightness, the brightness of the screen actually increases.

  Because I can't dim the brightness of the screen completely, and because the settings seem to work on the other hand, I can't the computer screen to display its maximum intensity.

  Sorry if this is confusing!

  Has anyone ever encountered this problem and someone has any advice on how I can solve this problem. I hope to be able to fix it without having to reinstall windows and software from toshiba.

  Thanks for your help, it would be much appreciated.

  > The brightness of the screen seems to not work in reverse. So when windows starts even if the computer is configured for the brightness of the full screen, it shows also very dark. When to use the keyboard function keys to lower the brightness, the brightness of the screen actually increases.

  I'm not sure if I understand this correctly. you mean that your screen brightness decreases when you use FN + F7 and increases if you use FN + F6. Is this good?

  Usually the FN + F6 decrease display brightness and FN + F7 increases the brightness.

  I have no idea why this work the other way around, but I think you should check the configuration of the profile of Toshiba Power Saver. Usually each profile supports different screen brightness settings. You can set it to max level and may assign this profile standard profile.

  I; m, I was wondering if this would solve your problem

• Satellite A200 starts with the message "missing operating system".

  IM wondering if anyone can help... I have a Toshiba Satellite A200, who, at the start, just comes up with a black screen and the "system of missing operating" in the upper left corner.

  I looked for solutions on the net. Nothing is really done. I tried to start in safe mode using the F8 function key, but it did not work. I tried to boot from a vista recovery disk. That did not work. I tried to reinstall vista and it came just with the error 0 x 80070002. Im stuck and don't know how started it in safe mode so that I can transfer data and then reinstall vista (reimage) on this subject.

  Can you make suggestions?
