• 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 - 1 5 PSAG4E - multimedia keys are not working properly

  My media keys no longer work correctly. I'm talking abut the top 2 buttons (Mute and Media Player - buttons).

  I just tried to reinstall PPV, but it's the same thing. I have to say that I can use the Mute button, but it will not be this silent icon appears.
  Media player button doesen't work at all.

  I just tried to search on this form for a sollution, but I couldn't find it.
  The rest of the buttons (play/pause, stop, next, previews) are working very well.

  As far as I remember 2 days ago all my multimedia buttons worked perfectly.
  Right now I have not reinstalled OS or any other drivers.
  I use the latest version of the BIOS (downloaded from the toshiba Web site) and Windows 7 Ultimate edition. I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 5 PSAG4E.

  Can you give me some advice about this pls?

• Satellite A300 - dvd, usb and card reader does not work

  Help needed please.

  Have a laptop Satellite A300, running vista.

  Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it. The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full.)

  The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card and the other usb port does not fuction.

  I have not installed or don't remember changing of settings or do whatever it is the habit.

  Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Your ad is very confused.
  > Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it.
  Well, there are several reasons for this; It would be possible that the inserted disc is not completely compatible. Try different drives from different manufacturers.
  It would also be possible that the STRANGE laser lens is dirty. In this case, you might clean using a cotton ball and alcohol tip. In my case it helped.

  > The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full).
  Did you use a compatible card? The laptop runs these cards:
  8MB - 2 GB SD card
  SDHC - 4 GB card
  -16 MB - 2 GB xD Picture card
  Memory Stick - 8MB - 256MB
  Memory Stick Pro - 256 MB - 2 GB
  MultiMediaCard - 8 MB - 1 GB
  miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32 MB - 2 GB

  I recommend also to format the card and to copy files from computer, and then test this.
  You can also reinstall and update the driver for the card reader controller...

  > The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card
  Can't believe that you must use a scanner software (must be provided with the scanner) and have to test this unit. By the way; for the most part a scanner driver must be installed in order to use this

• Satellite L500 - 1 EV - Some FN keys do not work on Windows 7

  Hello

  I bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L500 - 1 EV. Now I'm with Windows 7 32 bit OS, and I noticed that some of the shortcuts - espacially the "fn + F8" - to turn on and turn off the adapter wireless and "Fn + F9" allowing you to alternate between the mouse and touchpad of entry do not work. After I press FN + F8 wireless adapter still works and the light always. After pressing Fn + F9 system keeps the receiver input mouse and touchpad.

  Am I missing some driver?
  Thank you!

  Hello

  Have you installed Windows 7 yourself or was it is preinstalled on your laptop?

  AFAIK for the FN keys you need Toshiba Value added Package, and Flash Cards Support utility. In your case, I will try to reinstall the two of them, VAP first and then Flash cards support utility.

  Consult the Toshiba site, where you can find these two tools! :)
