Satellite A500 - 14Q: ECO button no longer works

Hello

I have a little problem with my A500. When I press the 'ECO' button to switch to eco mode and run the Toshiba Eco Utility, I can hear a "beep", but absolutely nothing happens.

I think I know where is the problem and how to solve it, but I need some information.
When everything was ok, I ran the Toshiba Assist (for another problem of fan) and I found an icon caled "supported of the TOSHIBA buttons" I translate by "TOSHIBA button support" or "Settings button". Then, for no change, I clicked on "cancel registration" or "cancel parameters", but he did in fact clear the previous settings that have been factory settings...

Since then (or unfortunately), my 'ECO' key does not work...
I said that when I "manually" switch eco mode, the button becomes green anyway.

I want to find is the "TOSHIBA button support" original settings But if you have some other suggestions to solve my problem of button I am listening to you.

Thank you and sorry for my bad English (again)

I do not have the A500, but if you want to have default settings best for you is to remove preinstalled value added Package, restart your computer and install the latest version of the Toshiba support page.

After doing this, you should again have the default settings.
Test it. You can't do anything wrong.

  • Satellite A500-138 - lighting buttons does not work even in the BIOS

    Hello.

    I'm just curious to know if anyone else has a problem with the (play/pause excatly) multimedia keyboard backlight? Mine died today, and there is nothing I can do to make it work again.

    The key still works, but when I turn on the backlight, backlight on everyone, but the play/pause (the backlight of the other keys work, touchpad and Satellite logo too).

    I use Windows 7, but the problem persists even in the BIOS.

    I think the backlight of the button is just dead.

    I have to admit I'm really disappointed with this laptop. Config is great, design and are also involved, but I can just take the couine noise that makes C2D (RMClock, one utility, I know that to solve this problem, does not recognize the A500 motherboard) and the fan almost never works to 70%, and now that the backlight...

    If the backlight of the multimedia key stops working after 3 weeks of use, which will be in the future? It's too scary to think ;)

    I was really excited by Toshiba, but day after day I come to the conclusion, that it is the first and the last laptop that I bought at Toshiba - never had similar problems on other laptops, same nonames.

    Of course, I know that I can has sent for fix, I guarantee (and wait about a month to get a backlight fixed stupid). But why hell not the backlight stoped working, if LEDs vitality is long as hell? It can mean two things: I really don't have a chance, or Toshiba did not pay too much attention to detail during production A500s. And after 3 weeks of use, I fear that the second option is much more likely...

    Then, someone has a feeling similar to this topic? And someone has a problem with backlight?

    Hello

    He damage of s to hear that your light has stopped working, but I think that it s just a software problem.
    I have a Satellite A500 equipped with buttons of enlightenment and everything works great with Vista and XP I m very satisfied.
    Unfortunately until that yet I didn't test with Win 7.

    I doubt you want to send this laptop for ASP, as I said, there seems to be a software problem and you can find it easily
    You must set the notebook to factory settings I mean that you must use the recovery disc in order to get the same State as on the first day of purchase

    Moreover, I visited the European driver of Toshiba page and, unfortunately, I didn't see no Win 7 drivers for this series at this time
    I guess that Windows 7 drivers will be released in the near future.
    So I wonder how you came to the button illumination because this feature requires the Toshiba driver and tools as well as the drivers aren't there?  :|

  • Satellite A500 - built in microphone no longer works

    Hello everyone, Im new here, but I have nowhere to go.

    I've never had a problem with my microphone before and in the last 2 days, it has stopped working. The only thing I've updated was my Windows, which is Windows 7 64 bit. The microphone is selected in the Audio tab on the Control Panel, but it won't just pick up sounds, just annoying static. I already downloaded the driver of sounds more up-to-date on the Toshiba site and I tried, but it did not help.

    If someone did something wrong be thrilled, it is really affecting my studies.

    Thank you in advance,

    Jonathan.

    Hey Buddy,

    You use the microphone with an external application like Skype or how do you use it?

    The microphone is an internal webcam part, so if you have problems with the internal mic I recommend reinstalling the driver for the webcam that you can download on the official website of Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    Remove the old webcam driver and restart the computer. Then try to install a more recent.

  • Satellite A500 - 14Q - Microphone does not work

    I have the Toshiba satellite A500 - 14Q for about 3 years. I changed the hard drive, keyboard, frame of the monitor until now, and I'm sick and tired of this laptop does not properly. Now, I've discovered that my microphone does not work. There is no problem in device, or with the driver manager. I hear that crackling noise when I try to enter any other micro device.

    Can anyone help please?

    P. S. I have windows 7 (64-bit)

    How did you test the mic feature? With the help of tool tape recorder?
    > the monitor framework
    Perhaps you have made a mistake and mic is not connected correctly. Did you do it alone or it was done by the Toshiba authorized service provider?

    The navigation buttons (back and forward) on my Logitech mouse worked correctly in all versions of Firefox, I used it, including 6.0.1. I've just updated to 6.0.1 and the buttons no longer work. I tried Opera and Internet Explorer, and confirmed that the buttons work properly with these browsers.

    Hmm...

    I had this problem on 6.0.1.

    And then I decided, since I already have the problem, I'll just upgrade to 6.0.2 and see if it works.

    The same problem.

    And then some powers-that-be, the problem fixed itself.

    (person but me using my computer, so I have absolutely no idea of what I did to fix.) Maybe after restarting the computer).

  • Satellite P500/024 - Eco button & HARD drive Protection feature

    When I select the actual program eco mode it works and brings the button 'eco', as it must also goes off to do likewise.

    I also left the protection of the HARD drive, no matter what you have any suggestions on the foregoing?

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest your ad is a little difficult to understand, but about the Eco button, the page of Toshiba Eco utility do you have installed? It is necessary to use the Eco button.
    Also the value-added package must also be installed. It contains Toshiba components common driver which is necessary to make the other Toshiba programs work.

    Why did you do a clean install of Windows 7? What about the factory settings? I mean the version preinstalled Windows with all the drivers and tools. Can you confirm that he of working with these settings?

    To use this Toshiba control buttons you will need a Toshiba control utility for Vista OS.
    But I put t remember that Toshiba has released Vista drivers for this laptop series.
    That is why I don't think you'll be abele to use these buttons running the Vista operating system

    I'm a little obsessed to keep my rocket (v 2) clean, even if I have a case of crystal clear for this - but leaves the click wheel - so I wipe two or more times a week with Clorox and rubbing alcohol.  I think I might have overdone it because my PAUSE/PLAY button no longer works.  This means that I can listen to music when the player is turned on, but I can't put pause a song.  If I want to stop a song, I have to turn off the player by using the side buttons.  When I turn it on, it plays right where the song was off, but it's kind of annoying.  Is it possible to fix my PLAY/PAUSE button, or took my ways germaphobic with me?
