Satellite A660 - 1 H 7 function keys and Logo lights went out

It may seem a little ridiculous to the experience of users of Toshiba laptops, BUT I have my laptop recently and there are a few days, I've lost the lights on my (next to the power switch) function buttons and the 'objective' logo in the lower left corner.

I don't know if I've done something to turn them off?
Unfortunately I don't know how to get the lights back on.

Can someone please help and tell me how (step by step if poss) to get back them.

Thank you in advance.

As far as I know this feature is controlled by Backlight.exe and you can find it in
Program Files\Toshiba\TBS\Backlight.exe

It is usually part of the VAP (value added package) to reinstall this package should help you get it working again.

You can also assign this file exe button again with the Support of TOSHIBA Button tool

Someone wrote in the forum:
+ When I go into "TOSHIBA button Support", I only have empty fields with the choice in the background to set "TOSHIBA Assist" or "Presentation". Empty fields are 'Description', 'Option' and 'path of the target. There is a button 'Browse' to select a program manually, but I have no idea where the exe "backlight on / off" is, when one exists. +

    Hello

    Download and install HP Quick Launch Buttons on the link below.

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp49001-49500/sp49104.exe

    Once the installation is complete, restart the laptop.

    OSD volume is provided by HP MediaSmart SmartMenu, so if you still don't see display, try the method in the link below and use Recovery Manager to reinstall this app - NOTE: you need at least one other application MediaSmart must be already installed, IE HP MediaSmart DVD, before you reinstall the Menu Smart.

    Hello

    My older Toshiba has a power switch WiFi.

    My new Toshiba has a WiFi switch above the F keys, although I do not know which varies
    by model. So check with Toshiba support, their documentation online and drivers, and
    ask in their forums where there will be others with the same model.

  • Satellite C50D-- Changed mode of function keys - can't change it back

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C50D-A, with Windows 8.1 who bought earlier this year.

    Recently, my function keys mode changed somehow and I can't seem to restore. When I bought the computer that the Fn button should NOT be pressed to use the special function keys (brightness, volume, etc.), however, now I have to press the Fn button to use all the special functions and since I have yet to use the F1 - F12 keys on a regular basis, it is quite unrealistic and all simply boring.

    I've already stepped into the Toshiba system settings set the keyboard special purpose and gone back and forth between the two functions several times still nothing helps.

    I return all system settings by default (as special function keys were my fault) and that didn't work either.

    I'm sorry is very long, but I'm at my home and I would like to solve this problem as soon as possible.

    Thank you in advance for all replies :)

    > now, I have to press the Fn button to use all the special functions

    This means that the special function mode is disabled.
    You can enable it in the BIOS or in the Toshiba System (HWSetup) settings

    To access the BIOS, you will need to press F2 when starting the unit.

  • Satellite A135-S4527 - drivers needed & function keys do not work

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A135-S4527. But when I got this computer it was without a recovery disk / disk to reinstall Vista and the Vista operating system that was installed was a bloated mess - it has been widely used by a person of lesser intelligence. In any case, I decided to get out the hard drive and put it in my SSD with Windows XP Professional SP3.

    That's when the problems started to flow. It turns out that Toshiba doesn't support Windows XP operating system - I checked the site and was surprised to see a total lack of support for Windows XP (even though Windows XP is the dominant OS and a fortiori when this laptop has been done).

    I managed to get the drivers installed, for everything except the modem. Easier to find drivers were Intel for Chipset / Motherboard and graphic processing of legacy unit. The thing is, I don't know if these are the official drivers and I'm completely lost on the drivers for the modem. Any idea where I can gain more - late and the biggest drivers of all my components?

    There are also some problems,
    -Brightness function keys do nothing
    -Laptop computer sometimes comes out no mode 'sleep'

    What can I do on the brightness keys? The monitor is sometimes a bit too bright to be comfortable to use. Yet, I'll have a chance to make those keys actually do something.

    Any help appreciated.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, this must be a series of Toshiba laptops we.
    Therefore, I visited the Toshiba driver page us to check the availability of driver.
    And guess what? I found this, but unfortunately there is not a lot of drivers Win XP.

    There are Vista and Win 7 but not Win XP drivers.
    I guess that's all that's available for Win XP.
    So what to do?

    I think you should try to install the missing tools which are released for other series of laptop; for example, A105-Sxxxxxx
    Maybe you will get the driver works

    Let's hope. Otherwise, you will need to use the laptop without these functions

  • Satellite C70D - A - 11 d function key turn off after use

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite C70D-A - 11 d... When I use once key FN to do a print screen or use the Zoom screen on the space key...

    I am not able to use the 1 to 4 Keynumbers or space to enter a space between two words... it always changes between the larger screen solution or the normal solution...

    I can only change the FN key after changing the settings in the settings of display and after a reboot...
    So I can't use FN without a reset with the F1 to the use of the F12 key and a reboot...

    Normally the FN key works only if it is pressed... If this is the normal operation of the keys 1 to 4 or F1 to F12 will work if configured in the settings, or not?

    What should do?

    Kind regards
    Jürgen

    First of all, you can change between the special function key mode (without pressing the FN key) or normal (standard) mode (Fn hold first of all use the standard functions of F1 - F12).

    This function can be changed in the BIOS.
    In BIOS go to Advanced-> system configuration

    Check this option.

  • Satellite A660 - 13p (PSAW3E-01T00PPL) - Upper keys stopped working

    I installed Windows 7 64-bit with all the drivers. Everything worked fine, but recently stopped working the high keys (eco, WiFi, volume, backlight). Allows only a permutation of Windows. Why?

    I reinstalled value-added 1.3.4 package but is not nothing changed

    Sorry for my English =)))

    Hey,.

    I m not Satellite A660 owner but generally if you reinstall package of added value, the bright buttons should start working again. But the most important is that you remove the old version of VAP first, before installing the latest version. You must also run CCleaner after uninstalling to remove old registry keys.

    Last but not least also check the BIOS. In the BIOS Setup you can enable/disable these buttons and illumination.

    Check this box!

    I don't think it's a general or common problem. I have the Satellite P500 with the NVIDIA card inside. Pre-installed driver is Toshiba 8.16.11.8829 driver version, and I have never notice one problem with display or graphics in general.

    I watch blu - ray movies, very often HD trailers on YouTube, play games (for the time Medal of honor, Black Ops) and everything works perfectly.

    What NVIDIA card is in your laptop and what display driver is installed?

  • Satellite P870-335 - no visible function key actions

    Hello

    I have a 335 P870 in which I placed a SSD drive and installed Windows 8 Pro (now 8.1) and was able to get most of the devices working with the drivers I found by the program of automatic detection of Toshiba.

    However, one of the items still missing is that I can't see/control functions that are on the function keys (like installing without wireless/Bluetooth). I know from my previous laptop Toshiba that, at the time when I press the button Fn, I see an OSD that show me the options and condition of their.

    I can't find which software I need to install in order to restore this feature. Someone got a hint/link for me?
    Assume that this software is also available for Windows 8 (.1) Pro?

    Thanks in advance, Herbiek.

    Created for Win7 Toshiba Toshiba Value added Package. This package includes several tools and utilities and one of them was important for the feature keys FN + Fx.
    Toshiba uses now two other tools:
    Driver of Toshiba and Toshiba function Key Utility system.

  • Satellite A100 - by pressing the Enter key and BACKSPACE insert a backslash

    The keyboard on my Satellite A100 has a perculiar behavior.
    The Enter key and BACKSPACE times return the insertion point to the beginning of the next line, and then insert a backslash.

    The behavior is similar in various products such as MS Word, internet Explorer, Notepad, WordPad, to name a few.
    The BACKSPACE key returns to the top of the page in MS Word and Notepad.

    This behavior is very frustrating and makes every day very difficult calculation.

    Does anyone have a solution to this problem

    Hello

    First I thought that this could be a result keyboard or Ms Word, Notepad setting language setting
    But while reading the story one more time, I think that this problem could be linked to the failure of hardware.
    But this is just a suggestion.

    I put t know if this problem would appear on new recovered BONES.
    Have you tried to restore the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery CD?
    Maybe you should do to see if it's really a hardware problem

    Good luck

  • !! Lenovo M490s function keys and hibernate problem!

    Hello world!

    I bought the laptop Lenovo M490s week last without BONES. I installed Windows 7 Professional x 64 retail.

    First of all, I could not find the software that controls the function keys. After installing each driver and software support page (M490s) my function keys does not except Fn + F1 Fn + F2 sleep has turn off the screen, Fn + F6 disable touchpad and the buttons set. Also no information would display on the screen after pressing the buttons - no level volume and shine.

    After some research, I found and installed Hotkey features integration support Lenovo M490 (without S) page. Each function key is started working, information on the screen also start displaying (volume and brightness level).

    Now, I spotted a huge problem, after 3 or 4 hibernation volume and brightness keys (fn + up, down, left, right) stopping just at work! Fn + F1 to F12 key combinations work normal. Then after that restart brightness and volume keys work again!

    Please help me solve this problem, I can't live without hibernation!

    Thank you!!!

  • HP - 15-ac152ur: function keys and sleep mode issues

    Hello, I jusy bought a computer laptop 15-ac152ur and I have the following isuues:

    -Function keys does not work correctly. By pressing Fn + a F (F9 for example) on "key" works as if I just pressed the F key. For the failure, by pressing Fn + F5, while in the results of google chrome in web page update, but pressing on alone F5 does nothing, so I can't adjust brightnrss or the volume using the function keys, which is very worrying, because it seems that I have no way to adjust the brightness without them.

    -Another problem is that after book of sleep mode is not "wake up", it gives me just a black screen and the only thing I can do is to reset.

    I have windows 7 x 64 operating system and I have already installed driver chipset and drivers for both integrated and AMD graphics cards. The only thing I do not installed is updating the BIOS, can it be the problem? And what I can do to solve these problems?

    Thank you in advance.

    Solved the problem with mode 'sleep'. It appeared that it was a bad idea to update the drivers for the graphics card web site AMD Amd, I should have installed only the driver located on the hp support site.
