• Satellite A500 - 15 h - keyboard backlight doesn't work anymore

  Hello @ all,

  After that install Win7 on my purchased new Satellite A500 - 15 h the backlight for the keyboard no longer works.
  I don't know if it worked before with vista... but if all goes well.

  Lighting is enabled in the Bios. Features (on F1 - F9) controlled by the Fn do not work as well as the tone that has been heard normally by using the function for lower keys / turn on the sound cannot be heard even if the sound signal is enabled in the BIOS.

  I hope someone can help
  Thanks in advance

  I have already installed value added package and updated BIOS.
  Under Linux, the keyboard is also not on.

  Hello

  First of all, you need to get the keys FN working again.
  To do this, you must install the VAP and the Toshiba Flash Cards support utility from the European driver Toshiba page.

  Regarding the backlight on the keyboard;

  Not all laptops are supported the backlight on the keyboard.
  You should check the Z button.
  If the Z button would contain a sign tiny keyboard then the laptop was equipped with backlight on the keypad and it should be possible to activate this using keys FN + Z combination.

• Re: Satellite A500/02J-backlit keyboard upgrade

  Hi all

  I just bought an A500/02J but I would replace the keyboard with a backlit keyboard. I found a backlit keyboard compatible to A500 on ebay, but I wonder if the motherboard on the 02J will allow replacement.

  Does anyone know if this is possible?

  Kind regards

  I can't say with any certainty whether these updates is possible but I n t think so. I mean why Toshiba should offer this motherboard with keyboard without backlight.

  Best thing you can do is to call the Toshiba service in your country and ask for help. They have experience with such things, and I think you will get the answer service guys prober.

  If you discover that the upgrade is possible please let us know. This info can be useful for other owners of A5oo.

• Satellite A500 - 132 illuminated keyboard?

  Hi guys

  Hello

• Satellite A500 - 14L without keyboard lighting, XpressCard and TV antenna

  Hello!

  I bought a Toshiba A500 - 14l there is very little time, and I do not have the keyboard lighting (the manual says that I can activate this option with Fn + Z but it does not work).

  I do not have the antenna for TNT (how to watch TV DTT whithout this?) and I don't have the remote to the Xpress card Format, I just got BIIIGGG remote control.

  I would like to know if all users have this problem? It is not normally! False advertising?
  The after sale service said they do not know if this model have he option!

  Very funny... Toshiba don't know what they sell but in the manual, you can see the keyboard lighting!

  Thank you!

  Thank you

  > Very funny... Toshiba don t they know how to sell, but in the manual, you can see the keyboard lighting!
  I think they know exactly what they are selling, dude. It is perhaps not known to you that there are many different models of laptop computers A500 with a different hardware configuration.
  Not all laptop computers (regardless of which model it is) are equipped with the same material elements!
  You will find different and portable hardware with different price range

  Satellite A500 - 14L seems belongs to the series of PSAM3E and looks that she would support the EXPRESS CARD SLOT, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics card, HDMI output, tuner TV etc.

  Also, I downloaded the user manual of the Toshiba page and I don t find any info that an antenna would be included in the package!
  Usually, you must purchase separately!
  In user manual you can also find info this remote control is ONLY provided with * some *!

  I think that now everything should be clear to you!

• Re: Satellite Z30-A-177 - keyboard with a US layout

  Hello!

  So I got a Satellite of the European Union A-Z30-177 / PT248E-00N00WGR by Amazon of the Germany and I wanted to ask if it is possible to get a keyboard with a US provision so that I can install it myself.

  Have not found anything useful with Google - is if there is a known possibility, or do I have to contact Toshiba directly?

  Thanks in advance and
  Best regards
  Michael

  First of all: you have a new laptop and the warranty is valid.

  Any change in material or laptop disassembly would affect the warranty if it has not been made by an authorized technician.

  So my recommendation: don't try to replace the keyboard, but ask Toshiba authorized service provider in your country to swap the keyboard.

  Guys should be able to replace the current keyboard using a US layout keyboard.

• Satellite A500-1GL upgraded with keyboard backlight, but do not work

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba A500-1GL.
  I wanted to upgrade with a backlit keyboard, so I went to an authorized Toshiba reseller in my area (Portsmouth, UK) and after checking the laptop, they said yes, it supports a backlit keyboard and it cost around 90 pounds (about 140 dollars) the price of the backlit keyboard and the cost of installation.
  So I said okay, let...

  But the keyboard does not work!
  I went back to the place where I bought, and I asked the guy (yet) "are you sure that my laptop takes in charge the backlit? ... He said yes, and in fact he removed the keyboard and showed me 2 connectors (one to attack the keyboard and fix the lighting cable)

  Then. My computer supports portable backlit keyboard... But it's not working!
  I tried to reinstall the package added value, Flash card... Chipset... almost anything!
  But it still does not (it should work when I click Fn + Z)

  What can I do now?

  I can't return the keyboard, because the guy said "sry its now use!
  So, what should I do? Is there something I should install/remove I'm missing or what?

  Any help will be appreciated...

  See you soon.

  Hello

  What to say either the technician has done something wrong or the laptop is not extensible.

  As far as I know the keyboard lighting is controlled by the BIOS.
  In my case, I can disable and enable it in the BIOS.

  I don't know if your BIOS contain this option, but you could check it
  Please note that each model of mobile phone is supported and some BIOS each BIOS is different.

  In my opinion if the BIOS does not support this feature you so would not be able to activate the lighting, even if the keyboard has been installed.

• Satellite A500-1HK: some problems with ECO Utility, touchpad, GPU

  Hi all!

  I am facing some problems with my laptop A500-1HK AND I would like to have your opinion!

  last month, the eco Utility application cannot be activated from the special keyboard of the botton at the bottom of the keyboard, although Ihear special sound because its touch botton (so it works fine). I can activate only in the start menu and then the botton in the keyboard touch would become green.

  At the top of the touchpad (mouse), there is a botton that enable / disable the touchpad. It works again.

  A few times when I'm working, the screen turns black and then after 5-7 seconds, that it becomes normal with a message that nvidia GeForce GT 330Μ had stop working but now works well! (is it something serious?)

  On the taskbar, there is an icon with a yellow exclamation point indicating the function that intel RST does not work. What is c?

  Keep in mind I have install all the drivers to the latest version, but nothing has changed! I have windows 7 64 bit GR

  Thanks in advance!

  Go to-> programs and features Control Panel
  Here are looking for ECO Utility and uninstall this software and restart the laptop

  Then visit the Toshiba UE driver page and look for the ECO utility.
  Download the software and reinstall it.

  > A few times when I'm working, the screen turns black and then after 5-7 seconds, it becomes normal with a message that nvidia GeForce GT 330? a work stoppage, but now works fine! (is it something serious?)

  The same as the ECO utility. Uninstall the screen / graphic card driver
  Download the latest driver from the Toshiba page and install it

  > To the task bar, there is an icon with a yellow exclamation point indicating the function that intel RST does not work. What is c?

  TSRI means Intel Rapid Storage Manager. It contains the SATA driver for SATA HDD controller.
  In case this does not work, reinstall it again.

  Have you tried an older version of driver? If so, I recommend you to install this version or restore the system to an earlier point.

  Hello

  According to specification for laptop, that your laptop can be upgraded up to 8 GB of RAM. Tested and recommended 4GB module has part number PA3677U-1M4G amd it's 1066 MHz.

  Unfortunately in the specifications of the laptop I didn t find what's the speed of the FSB for Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset, but you can check it on the Intel support page.

  If you still need help let us know.
