Satellite L500 - cannot adjust the brightness of the screen

I have a L500 - came out with Windows 7. I can't also adjust the brightness - the external monitor is fine. 17 other laptops in the same school are fine - just this one.
The FN key doesn't seem to work - the laptop screen is so dark, that it is not readable.

I didn't know all the answers that respond to that?

Hi redmg,

The FN keys are controlled by value added and Flash Cards Support utility package. So if you can use t FN keys correctly reinstall these two tools of Toshiba. You can download on the official page of Toshiba:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

But remove older versions before installing the new versions.

After that all FN keys should work properly again.

  • Satellite L500 - cannot run the DVD-ROM games

    I am currently having problems with my Toshiba Satellite L500 series. The problem is, I can run purchased audio CD, as well as DVDs of the films, but I can't run games DVDrom. Music CD will automatically start Media Player very well, as well as films in their corresponding players... Games (like Dragon Age Origins and Left 4 Dead) DVD - ROM cannot read, or be recognized. When I go to "Computer" and try to access the game, it says "no available disk. Please insert disc into drive D: ". So from what I understand, the CD/DVD-rom may not be completely broken if he reads all types, except for games to DVDrom.

    Can someone help me with this please! It is quite frustrating because my computer is just now to a year! I wouldn't think that all computer companies sell computers that fall apart after a year... I was hoping that it was different with Toshiba.

    Once more, the CD/DVD-ROM can read CD and DVD of the film, but NOT the games to DVDrom. Help, please! Thanks in advance!

    Hi adecker,.

    Maybe it s caused due the upper and lower filters in the registry. You should try to remove as you can read in this article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

    I had a similar problem that some discs can't be read more. And I went thorugh based forum to clean the CD/DVD drive lens with a microfibre cloth. Be careful if you do this and don't scratch the lens.

  • Satellite L500 - cannot install the Intel video driver

    Ok
    complete failure of the hard drive, no recovery cd was created, reloaded windows 7, looked up and downloaded the drivers from Toshiba, BUT there are only two video drivers listed, amd and Intel, both marked "for model only supported" its an Intel machine so I tried the Intel driver but it doesn't install, it just closes which I believe if the corresponding material is not found is the default action for these drivers.

    But I'm stuck with 'standard VGA graphics adapt' all other drivers loaded perfectly, (I installed the driver from chipset Intel first and rebooted, so it should be ok but it s not)

    Any ideas?

  • Satellite L500 - cannot activate the WLAN on FN + F8

    Hello to all users of Toshiba, Ii'm new to computers laptop Toshiba, this one beeing my 1st and iIhave a well-known problem, I read on the internet.

    I recently bought a Satellite L500-13W. It has Realtek Wifi and comes with Vista OS. I deleted Vista OS since I have the license to the retail of Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 top intalled. All work well, Audio, video, everything outside the wireless card. I enabled from the BIOS and everything and yet when I press FN + F8 it does not activate. The drivers are properly installed, as Windows 7 brings the upgrade of drivers. He said that the card works fine, but it does not turn on and search for Wifi signals. The Orange of the WIFI led does illuminate not.

    If anyone has a solution for this problem, I would be very grateful. I don't know what can be the problem, the software or the hardware.

    Advice me please. Thank you.

    Hi Darius1990,

    > Drivers are properly installed, as Windows 7 brings upgrade drivers
    This means that you have installed the Windows update WIFI driver and no official site of Toshiba, right?
    Well, in this case, I would try the prétestées WLAN driver from Toshiba. So you can make sure that it s not a WLAN driver related problem. Just check the WLAN from Toshiba Portal:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    Have you tested other FN keys combination?
    If they don t work too you must install the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards because these two tools to control the function FN key and are important to use them correctly.

  • Satellite A200 - cannot adjust the brightness of F6/F7

    Hello world

    First of all, excuse me for my English ;)

    So, I am owner of an A200 and I install my own copy of Windows XP because I don't like Vista (like many...).

    Under Vista, my FN - F6 or FN + F7 strives to set the brightness, but NOT XP. Can I use the FN - ESC to mute, etc, but NOT the function FN - F6 and FN + F7.

    I install the application 'Save energy', but after a reboot, it does not work. I see the icon (a small battery with both hands... one each side of the battery), the energy saver works because if I unplug my laptop, the brightness drops by a few degrees (and the icon for a bulb change 'orange'.

    So, here, something I miss to install or I did not properly confugure?

    Thanks for helping me!

    Update you the BIOS to the version of Win XP?

    This is necessary, because without this BIOS update some features of the laptop as FN keys would not work properly.

  • Cannot adjust the brightness after display driver update on Satellite L855-118

    Hello.

    I just bought a SATELLITE L855-118, with ATI graphics card today, it was between this and another of them, but I know that you have problems updating graphics drivers on a portable Sony.

    I did a restore point.

    So I uninstalled the ATI catalyst graphics card and then did a sweeper driver and rebooted and then installed catalyst 12.6, installed fine, but my screen went to the maximum brightness and I can't adjust, BRIGHTNESS osd is displayed but the brightness of the screen does not change.

    So I used my restore point.

    This time I crushed the catalyst 8.9 with 12.6 stock, still cannot adjust the brightness.

    Someone knows how to solve this problem.

    Visit THIS page and read what means SMART.
    In other words, your HARD disk goes wrong so please back up all your important data and contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

  • Cannot run the screen saver because it requires a newer video card or one that is compataible with Direct3D.

    Hello

    I recently rebooted my computer; (Packard Bell) and now cannot run games or screen savers because it does not start. I think my problem has something to do with a Direct3D card? When I run screensavers, I get this message:
    Cannot run the screen saver because it requires a newer video card or one that is compataible with Direct3D.
    I have the impression that sound when I run the 3D games, such as minecraft or GMOD.
    I run on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium and does not do anything but re - install my computer because it wouldn't start.
    It is not as if the graphics card is not there, so I'm really confused!
    Please help me, like playing games is my favorite thing. ;)

    I also ran minecraft to double check and I got this error code:

    -----------------------
    Minecraft could not start because it did not find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
    Generally, this can be corrected by updating the video card drivers.

  • Cannot adjust the brightness of the screen and the sleep will not work Satellite P750/P755

    I can move the scale but nothing is happening on the screen.

    Also in the last two days not possible in mode "sleep" as it did before, even though I haven't changed anything.

    You have installed updates? I mean all this can happen without reason?

    Have you tried to roll back the OS to an earlier time to check the functionality?
    And Yes, do you use the original pre-installed OS that you got with your laptop?
