Satellite A500 - controls above the keyboard do not work

I have a problem with the controls volume/dvd above the keyboard on my Satellite A500 - that they are turned on but when I touch them nothing happens. They worked when I got to the laptop, but I think that I might accidentally disabled can understand how to recover them, but I have!

Hey Buddy,

The controls above the keyboard are controlled by added value package. I think something has confused by VAP so that you can t use controls more.
Usually if you reinstall VAP keys should work again

http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

That s the page where you can download.
But before you install the latest version, remove the current one and restart the laptop. Then install the latest version of VAP.

  • Satellite A300D-126 the keyboard does not work

    I reinstalled the driver but it still does not. What could be the problem? Help please. Thank you

    Hello

    What s wrong exactly?
    You have reinstalled the drivers?
    What drivers do you mean?

    The keyboard driver is part of the Windows operating system and it cannot be reinstalled separately.

    If your keyboard doesn't work properly then either the software doesn't run as it should, or the material (keyboard) is defective.

    You could try reinstalling the operating system using the Toshiba HDD recovery to check whether the problem is related to the software.
    If the keyboard does not work after this procedure, then a hardware problem might be possible.

  • Satellite X 200-219 - the touchpad does not work as it should

    Hi all

    I recently bought a 2nd hand Toshiba Satellite x 200-219. Had some problems with it that I have overcome now, except one... The touchpad does not work as it should. I think that the cable has been damaged at some point.

    So I'm wondering if I should use the same ribbon cable to connect the keyboard to the motherboard or can I get one of a different model of PC Toshiba laptop?

    I tried searching on the net for advice but have resulted in nothing so thought I would try the forums.

    Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Lee

    I think you can use the items to the satellite X 205 series since this seems to be the same series as X 200:
    Found some related parts the touchpad:
    Satellite X 205 / X 200 touchpad Board with cable: reference number: K000047950
    Satellite part number for the TOUCH PAD FFC X 205 / X 200: K000047980

    But why you n t come into contact with a Toshiba authorized service provider in your country and order the part necessary and compatible?

  • Tecra A7: Some keys on the keyboard do not work

    Thank you
    Marc

    Hello Mark,

    your problem may be something simple (the connector on your keyboard should be reinstalled, because she came off), or in the worst cases, the film of connection had broken (cut) and does not allow signals to be transmitted to the motherboard. If you are still under warranty, you should prefer consulting Toshiba for a quote, rather than attempt to fix this yourself.

    If you feel confident to do it yourself, lift the plastic above the keyboard cover and remove the two screws that secure the keyboard (the screws are hidden under the plastic cover). Then you can reinstall connector 'films as' in its place.

    Here is a sample image of a keyboard removed showing the location of the screws (upstairs next door) and the movie-a-like (bottom) connector:

  • Portege R100: the keyboard does not work

    I am facing a problem. My laptop keyboard does not work. How can I purchase a new Panel of key for this model, or how I can fix the problem.

    Hello

    I put t know what is wrong exactly with your keyboard, but I guess the keyboard needs to be replaced.
    To my knowledge the keyboard was fixed by 2 screws under the thin cover above the keyboard.
    You must remove the thin cover and then the 2 screws.
    Then, you will be able to set the keyboard.

    But be careful; the keyboard must be connected with the flat cable to the motherboard.

    Compatible keyboard, you can order from the Toshiba service partner in your country.

  • After showing the keyboard does not work protected void paint (Graphics graphics)

    Hello

    I am facing a big problem. Need your help.

    I've implemented TouchEvent and VerticalFieldManager-> screen paint().

    TouchEvent works well. But the paint method is confusing after the virtual keyboard is displayed.

    My code is as follows:

    public MyScreen extends MainScreen {
    
        private VerticalFieldManager vfm = null;
    
        public MyScreen() {         super(MainScreen.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL);         vfm = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.USE_ALL_HEIGHT | Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH){              protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {                   //paint methods              }         };    }
    
         protected boolean touchEvent(TouchEvent event) {         if(!event.isValid()) {        return false;   }         if(//Check touch conditon) {               //Do something               return true;         } else {               return super.touchEvent(event);         }     }}
    

    You can correct code above?

    This method of paint does not work after showing the keyboard.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply. Guy.

    I found my bug. This problem is related new instance in my code.

    If the keyboard does not at the present time, it seems that the screen height is decreased by the height of the virtual keyboard. It must be calculated in your code.

  • Satellite L300 - 1-5 - the screen does not work

    Recently, I encountered a problem with my laptop, the screen does not work.
    I tested my inverter of the screen and my backlight lamp to see that if that was the problem, but they both worked perfectly, I then tried the entire screen with the parts and that worked too. (I tried in my friends Toshiba Satellite L300 - 217)

    Then I looked around online and got told to try to connect my laptop to an external monitor, so I did and the screen didn't work there either. So now I'm stuck, I have tried everything even made sure all connections aren't loose etc but it still does not.

    Anyone know what the problem with my laptop?

    Thank you, Tom

    Hey Buddy,

    > connect my laptop to an external monitor, so I did and the screen didn't work there either.
    This means that the internal monitor is ok and the reason must be the graphics card or card mother herself.

    I guess for now, you get only a screen empty and nothing happens on your laptop?

    In this case, you should contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. Just get in touch with the guys and ask for help. They can check the cell phone and fix it! ;)
