Satellite A300 the Touch buttons do not work as I had

Hello!

My sister bought this laptop amazing for me and since the date I got it (5 months ago), I was not able to use the touch keys on the top of the keyboard. At first, I thought I was doing something wrong and that I had to activate, but I read the entire manual and I couldn't get an option to activate it. I use Windows Xp Professional with service pack 3. Please help me as soon as possible. I listen to music a lot while I'm working with my computer and it would allow me to save a lot of time to get these buttons to work.

Thanks in advance.
Denise

What about BIOS?
Did you upgrade to the latest version?
If this isn't it!
Otherwise the laptop must be checked by a technician ASP if the keys have never worked in the past...

    Hello

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite U500 two days ago and already problems :(

    The volume buttons do not work, and sometimes the computer crashes to their contact. Once I touch the-, he begins to turn volume down until it reaches zero, and even if I turn it up using windows, back to zero (as if the button is still depressed). The + does not work.

  • Satellite A300-1HV: light button does not work

    Hi guys,.

    I recently bought a Satellite A300-1HV, and while that in the store, the salesman showed me it was possible to turn off the light behind the function/media at the top of the keyboard buttons. It seems to do by simply pressing the first button (the mute button).

    When I got home I tried several times, and he did in fact machine do what I expected (i.e. off lighting). The manual describes the first button under the button "Mute or LED power. Later that night, I tried the button again once, but this time it acted as a mute button and either turns off the lighting. In addition, the second button (CD/DVD) no longer seems to work at all, although it lights up when you press.

    I tried the Toshiba Assist software and am able to manually turn off the lighting, but the 'Toshiba button Support' seems to have no effect on buttons. I guess this would allow me to set up manually a program runs when I press one of two buttons, but no matter what I ask it to run, it does nothing.

    It's as if there is a piece of software that should be run, leading the keys, that I do not have (or at least no longer have).

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    You can enable this back in the BIOS.
    You can access this menu by pressing the F2 key when turned on the machine.

    Select the Advanced section and turn on LED lighting.

  • Spilled beer on Satellite A300-16I - now button does not work:

    Hello

    I accidentally spilled beer on my computer... not really what you need to do: S
    Well now, I have a little problem that my key 'h' that is not responding.
    So, when I press it and does not work... without 'h' are written.

    Is there a way I could fix this cause I don t feel like using the copy / paste function to write the letter "h"... Well I hope someone like solution :)

    Hello

    Hmm, in all likelihood, your keyboard needs to be replaced.
    I doubt that the only button H can be fixed and thus the entire keyboard needs to be replaced.

    Contact the ASP in your country and request a replacement.

    However, you can also use an external USB keyboard, but I think that it of better to have a laptop keyboard that works properly.

  • I have a Toshiba satellite L455D laptop and the touch pad does not work

    If I plug my usb wireless mouse that works, but when I unplug it the touch pad does not work

    Have you checked to see if your laptop model has a physical button around the mouse pad that allows & turns off?  If it does not, many cell phones often have a software switch that can toggle the on & off power mouse pad.  It is usually triggered by a combination of function keys (key Fn + one of the F1 to F12 keys).

    Take a close look at the row of the top of your keyboard and see if you can find a key that has a small symbol that looks like a mouse pad.  If you find one, try pressing it in combination with your Fn key to see if your mouse pad features returns.

  • Firefox automatically updated itself, would not add new bookmarks, then deleted all mine, will not always add new, now the back button does not work. I'm Livid.

    I think I'm on Firefox 13.0. He put itself as part of the update of my computer up to date (at least I guess that's what happened, because it has changed). I noticed yesterday that he would not favorite Web sites, but I thought it was just the website or bookmarks have been full-time or something. Today, I tried to remove a few bookmarks to make more, but they would not remove. I tried to register a new site, and it wouldn't work. I tried to close/exit firefox and re-opening of the program. While the program was closed, I installed the next set of updates on my computer. When I have opened firefox, all my favorites, and the tab menu (or what you call personal small bar on the actual tabs) were gone. I can't always favorite of new sites, so I can't even re-do all my favorites (and I got a lot, all of them arranged so it's a big loss and incredibly annoying). Then I realized that the back button does not work. And the cursor remains on the typing that I symbol, it does not change the arrow, when I click on a link.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • Portege M750 and Win8.1 Pro - the tablet buttons do not work

    Hello

    I have problems to install the tablet buttons in WINDOWS Pro 8.1. Everything else works perfectly.

    In Windows 8 Pro this button worked fine, but now, after clean installation of Windows Pro 8.1 two buttons do not work. The buttons are the Toshiba help buttons and the presentation. I tried to set them up in Toshiba assist software but nothing happens.

    I don't know that I have installed all the drivers who wverything work with Windows 8. Someone at - he tried this and add success?

    > I don't know that I have installed all the drivers who wverything work with Windows 8

    Windows 8.1 isn't Windows 8 and many tools and drivers Toshiba win 8 don't work or are not fully compatible with Win 8.1

    As much as I know the Toshiba can't win on this Portege M750 8.1.
    This means that no Win 8.1 driver will come out and in this case, certain features of the laptop as the control buttons may not work properly.

    You are using Windows Vista or Win 7, these buttons were controlled by added value package. This package does not exist to win 8.1 and has been replaced by other software called system Toshiba driver

    So in case you want to try to get to the buttons, I recommend that you check this with Toshiba system driver

  • the light on the power button does not work. How can I activate it?

    HP pavilion dv7

    Windows 7.

    the light on the power button does not work. How can I activate it?

    If the key light is not lighting up, then more than likely that the LED is just out for your power button. If the laptop is still under warranty, you can it be repaired or replaced, but as long as its not causing you any serious issues, I worry too much with it.

    I don't mind, but it will be useful, if it could be repaired. Don't want to do something big, would rather just not fix that to do something does not.

    Note: Scanning works, but I have to look somewhere else (e.g. opening scan in the Panel)

    OK, that explains why the scan button does not work.

    The complete software is required for the scan button to work, it is not a feature of the base software.

    Be sure to follow the steps below in order to get is torted:

    1. Unplug the USB from the printer.
    2. On the start menu, enter the HP folder. and follow the link to uninstall to remove the current software.
    3. If you don't find it there, go into control panel > add or remove programs, and remove any software installed HP PSC 1300 series.

  • My optical drive is not displayed in "Device Manager" the eject button does not work

    Latitude Dell with Windows 7

    My optical drive does not show in the "Device Manager", the eject button does not work - I can only eject through the pin hole.

    This means that the drivers are missing or that the disc is broken?

    I tried to restart.

    Thanks in advance

    Original title: Reader in mind windows 7

    Its possible the drive has failed. Is this an internal or an external drive? In both cases, make sure that all cables are properly connected and functional, including the power cables. If its a USB external drive then try another USB port.

    But, assuming that you tried to update the drivers (get the latest compatible drivers on the manufacturers for your brand/model/OS(32/64 bit) PC support site and install to see if that helps - first set a system restore point)) and then see if this MS article helps - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems?wa=wsignin1.0

    my / Tablet PC

    Dorothy salvation,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I don't understand that the volume and the touch screen does not work and I'll be happy to answer your query. These features require the updated drivers for them work. Let me ask you;

    • When was the last time that the two have worked?
    • Remember to no particular change in the device before the show?
    • Since the touch screen does not work, you are able to use the options settings?

    The device requires the updated drivers for the volume and the touch screen. I suggest to follow the methods below and check.

    Method 1: Run the troubleshooter of material and check if that helps.

    a. type in the right edge of the screen, and then click Search.
    (If you use a mouse, point to the upper right of the screen, move the pointer of the mouse down and then click find.)

    b. enter Troubleshooting in the search box, type or click Troubleshooting, and then press or click on hardware and sound.

    c. press or click on hardware and devicesand follow the instructions on the screen. You may be prompted for an administrator password or to confirm your choice.

    Method 2: Update the drivers

    Step 1: Update the driver through Device Manager

    a. press the Windows key + X , and then click Device Manager

    b. expand driver Sound

    c. make a right click driver, and then click Update driver software

    Step 2: Install the Windows updates pending

    To check the updates:

    1. Open Windows Update by hitting on any fly in the right edge of the screen (or, if you are using a mouse, pointing to the corner bottom right of the screen, move the mouse upward), tapping or clicking on settings, tapping or clicking change PC settingsand then by typing or clicking on update and recovery.

    2. Press or click check nowand then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your PC.

    3. If updates are found, tap or click install updates.

      Read and accept the terms of the license and then press or click Finish if the update requires it.

    4. Restart the computer for the updates to be applied.

    Step 3: Visit the website of the manufacturer of the device support and install the latest drivers for the sound and touch to Windows 8 for the same model of aircraft.
