• 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 A300 PSAG4E - multimedia keys do not work on Windows XP

• Satellite A300-243 - simple disk recovery & keys do not work

  Hello, I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite A300 243, and I decided to reinstall the system to Vista Ultimate 64 bit (because of the use of the 4 GB ram).

  It took me a few hours, but ultimately I found the necessary drivers and everything works fine, except one thing - multimedia keys (I think they are called easy keys). Start, Stop, next and preview track trace works great, but the first (default used for the activation/deactivation of illumination) and the second (default used for starting of W Media Player) do not work. I installed the latest version of VAP for Vista 64-bit and to Toshiba button support, I'm not able to change anything. The list, where normally I am able to choose a key to change its function, is empty. I found some similar problems on this forum, but no useful answer - lookes like the only way is to use the Toshiba Recovery option, and at this point, I get to my second problem.

  The second problem is in Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator and Toshiba HDD Recovery tool. At first, until I reinstalled Vista 64 bit version I wanted to create the recovery disk, but Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator just didn't start. Then I found the HARD drive recovery option, and I've read, that this tool is placed on a hidden partition, so I thought that I will be able to recover the old system with this tool in the case of any compication. Then I reinstalled the system and wish to return to 32 bits, because he looked like his slower and at first I was not able to find all the necessary drivers. And what a surprise - recovery tool has disappeared!

  The only thing I'm missing on the 64-bit version is now these two multimedia keys.

  And the last question - are there opportunities to get a recovery with Vista 64-bit disk?

  Hello

  As you said for easy keys or also called buttons lighting you need Toshiba value added Package. Satellite A300-243 belongs to the series of PSAG8E and that's why you can find all the drivers on the Toshiba site tools:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Before installing the VAP, make sure that all the drivers are installed and for Vista SP1 at least. Then you can install it and normally then you can use the FN buttons for lighting, etc..
  Also, make sure that you have installed the latest BIOS for your laptop.

  Regarding your problem with the recovery disk creator and drive HARD recovery option, I can only say that these features are only available on the preinstalled version of Vista. This means that if you upgrade to Vista 64 bit you can t use HARD drive recovery option more and also the recovery disk creator.
  So if the recovery disc creator doesn't work you need to use HARD drive recovery option, but it is not stored on a hidden partition. These files are stored on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder HDDrecovery. The hidden partition do you mean belongs is a feature in Vista: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Recovery_Environment

  But just a question: have you ever created a recovery disk?

• FN key is not working properly on my Satellite P875 - 32H

  Hello world

  I have problem like many others, FN key is not working properly. Let's start from beginning:

  1. I bought my P875 - 32 H with Win8 64 bit and everything was allright.
  2. after upgrade to 8.1 probles issued many and most of them I solved it, BUT,
  3 recently, I found that the FN key works in combination with
  (a) f5
  (b) f6, f8 (only with media player works, with winamp does not work).
  (c) f12 (I turned off wifi via Control Panel, but the light still flashes),.
  (d) 1 and 2
  (e) or z (US keybord) - keyboard backligth on/off - I have try several solutions based on the forums (install the driver on toshiba support site) but without success. Throught BIOS I turn on backligth but I can not turn off without entering the BIOS.
  (f) space I've ever used this combination.

  I tried on the Microsoft forums, but there is no solutions.

  And another question
  Why my P875 - 32H model is not on the drop-down list on the toshiba support site?

  Concerning

  At first, I have to say that I hope that you have updated your machine following the instructions on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/
  FN feature keys is controlled by specific tools Toshiba and you need to install or already installed are Toshiba system driver and utility of Toshiba feature key.

  FN + F5 key combination is for touchpad. Did you install driver touchpad correct?
  F6 and F8 are designed to work with media player. In the past (WXP) using small plug-in, it was possible to use it for Winamp. I think that something like that doesn't exist anymore.

  You know that's not easy to say to install this or that and everything will be OK. The feature keys FN is where several things work together.

  Please check the download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities for Win8.1.

• Satellite L50-B-127 - some keys are not working and touchpad blocks constantly

  Before leave here an apology because I'm Portuguese and my English level is very low.

  My computer is a Toshiba Satellite L50 B 127

  Lately, I noticed some anomalies which appeared me on my computer (which should take about a year). When I speak of anomalies refer to the keys you use rarely, and at this stage do not work (example: arrow left, Z,...)
  Not to mention that I noticed that my touchpad is constantly blocking, that is to say after the buttons to work, the cursor does not move, being sometimes more than 20 seconds to wait for the cursor to return to normal.

  If anyone has had this problem or knows the cause and the solution? Recognizing a response as soon as possible

  Hello everyone, I'm here to post my problem that has caused me a lot of problems and troubles and especially apologize because that throughout this text should meet several errors since my English level is low

  My computer is a toshiba satellite L50 B 127 and has a little more than a year of use

  Lately, I found some anomalies in my computer including some keys from one day to the other crashed, these keys are not widely used (arrow to the left, z, dash). In addition, my touchpad has been constantly block of minutes in minutes, even if the buttons on the touchpad still work, the truth is that the block cursor for a few seconds and then comes back to work as if nothing had happened. In 10 minutes, however this situation occurred four times

  I would be grateful if someone knew the reason why this happens or even the solution to answer me as soon as possible

• Qosmio F50 - 10K - multimedia keys are not lit

  According to my topic

  "" Qosmio F50 - 10K - replaced by Qosmio F60-126? ".
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=59934&TSTART=0

  I had problems with my laptop, located at the Nvidia 9600 M GT graphics according to Toshiba service. They changed the graphics card with a new one today and so far everything is going very well and smooth. He collapsed again. Time will tell whether or not it returns to his old ways.

  In any case, after I took up my F50 - 10K I noticed that the indicators for media buttons (Play / Pause, Stop, Dolby, etc) are not lit. The buttons work fine, but they are not on. All other indicators (the light bar on the touchpad, the volume light) and the power light work fine. There is a button to deactivate/activate the indicators, but it does not work for media indicators.

  Before giving my laptop to the service of all the indicators were at work. Now, the indicators of media came out. No idea how to re-enable?

  Hi Jwrath,

  I doubt s a hardware problem because they do not work properly and the lit / functions are controlled by added value package. In your case, I recommend reinstall Toshiba Value added Package from the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Remove the VAP, restart the computer and install the new VAP software.

  In addition, check the BIOS. I don't know if there is an option for Mr. lighting if so, enable it and that s.

• After installing new FN and multimedia keys do not work on Qosmio F20

  Hello, my friend buy Qosmio F20 of the Germany, but it comes with Windows Xp with the German language on this subject. I format the hard drive and install Windows Xp Professional SP2. I download all of the drivers who was very available and most of the functions work (like display, sound, touchpad and others), but the multimedia keys and the FN keys do not work (remote work). The other problem is that I can't install the TV tuner.

  With German Windows XP, I try TV tuner but have no SOUND what is the problem? When I try to install the utility software under display appear message that says "Unable to get the information from the BIOS" or something comparable. I have install all the drivers that I found in the Qosmio F20 support page but I have video control with exclamation mark in Device Manager.

  Can you help me?

  Where am I wrong? What should I do?

  First of all he must know that if you are going to install together the Toshiba drivers after installing the OS to do in the right order!
  On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the Installation Instructions. You will need to follow the guide line! It is important to properly work all the functions!

  In addition, you will need to select the right OS. There are two: XP and XP MCE.

  To control buttons Toshiba works correctly, you will need to install the controls.
  But as I said above: follow the instructions in the insulation.

  A few words on the TV tuner:
  As far as I know, you can only use the TV tuner in the country where the laptop was purchased because different PAN and NTSC settings.
  In addition, the TV tuner driver offers TV tuning and recording capabilities using Media Center on your computer. If you have any MCE so I put t know how you want to watch TV.
