  • Satellite M70 - media buttons do not work

    Hi all

    I have been using the Satellite M70 for 2 years now. My OS is XP SP2. The laptop comes with preinstalled express media player. And I still have the Express Media Player recovery CD.

    For the reasons that I just formatted the C drive. This is not the first time that I did. But the last time after reformatting drive C Media buttons are still working fine. This time beside the reformatting, I have updated BIOS (from site Web from Toshiba) to version 1.50.

    Now media buttons do not work. And not more than (browser and CD/DVD buttons) shortcut keys. I tried to reinstall the express media player by booting from the recovery CD and reinstall chose. But the problem persists.

    Are there ways to get the media buttons still work?

    Help would be very appreciated.

    P/S: in case it is because of the update of the BIOS, is there way I can flash back to its original version?

    Hello

    I have the Satellite M70-159 with BIOS V 1.3. I'll try to update BIOS to version 1.5 to see if the same happen on my M70 laptop. I did not Express Media Player, but I will test it with running Windows XP Home edition.

    So. Windows XP Home edition, I can use all the keys with Windows media player. Browser and all media buttons work well. With WinDVD too much work.

    I don't really know why this does not work on your M70. Maybe you should remove all the stuff your laptop and do a clean install EMC and operating system itself.

  • Satellite L850 - webcam suddenly stopped working

    The web cam on my Satellite L850 has suddenly stopped working.

    It does not appear in Device Manager;
    I downloaded the latest driver on the Toshiba site;
    I checked the BIOS and the web cam is turned on;
    Always when I open the web cam application I get the following message:

    "webcam initialization failed Please restart request and camera control.

    I scoured the advice forum and short of a return to the top and reboot disk HARD, I find no reasonable answer. I can't back up as I am away from home is out of the question. I need web conference call cam / call my family to the United Kingdom back.

    Tired of going round in circles and getting nowhere.

    Any suggestions?

    Post edited by: mrclean

    Even if you have not changed the settings in the BIOS, you must Access the BIOS to make sure that the webcam is turned on it!

    I also recommend the suite of this workaround:
    Uninstall the webcam software
    Uninstall the VAP
    Uninstall all software needed the webcam (Skype, etc...)
    Now, restart and install CCLeaner (cleaning of freeware software)
    Reboot once more.
    Run CCleaner and clean the system and the registry.
    Reset
    Now follow with installation of VAP
    Reset
    Install the webcam software
    Reset
    Test webcam.

    Good luck

  • Re: Satellite A660 - media buttons do not work

    First of all I apologize if my language is not good, because I'm Spanish.

    I have a * Toshiba Satellite A660-13D * and this model has a button touch media at the top, next to the keyboard. Here is a picture with the buttons marked in red: [http://forums.toshiba.com/tshb/attachments/tshb/brd_input/10621/1/Toshiba-Satellite-A660-Multimedia-Notebook.jpg]
    Two days ago the buttons works well. There are a few buttons, one for an ecological mode, one to turn wireless on or off, one for play/pause Media Player, etc.. These buttons work only those who turn up and down volume. The button that activates / deactivates the Mouse-touchpad does not work too.

    I'm looking for solutions, and one of them suggests the BIOS update. I tried to update my BIOS with the downloadable files of the Toshiba website for my model of PC, but when I run the executable, it always crashes with this message: Winflash for UEFI has stopped working. I read on someone with the same problem as me and someone replied that he should try executing the BIOS via a .iso file burned into a CD-Rom and boot from it. But, where I could get this .iso file? If I enter on the Toshiba site in English and go to the download section, I can't find my model Satellite, so I can not get the appropriate files. Is my Toshiba Satellite A660 13d, and I find only A660-ST2GX1, A660-BT2G22, A660-BT3N25X and similar products.

    I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this. Thank you.

    You have mobile EMEA model then all the drivers, tools and utilities that you can download from http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    Try please reinstall extra package from Toshiba.

  • Satellite M645-6114 - ECO utility/media buttons not working not

    My toshiba satellite M645-6114 is about a month.
    Yesterday, I realized that the media buttons is no longer give me a symbol on the screen when I disable or turn off the wifi.

    In addition, the place of the arrow button no longer turns the lights on the laptop.
    Finally I can't open the eco utility at all.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hello
    The media keys (play, pause, eco button) are controlled by VAP (value added package). In addition to use the ECO button, the ECO utility must be installed.

    In addition the FN keys are controlled by Flash Card Utility Support and this tool seems not work so first check if you can solve this activation/restart tool, you can do it in all programs-> Toshiba-> Flash Cards

    If this does not work, reinstall the mentioned tools Note: after each installation, reboot the device!

  • ECO mode and media buttons not working not not on my Satellite A665-S5173

    I bought a Toshiba satellite A665 is about 2 weeks ago and my eco mode and media buttons along the top of the keyboard do not work. The volume buttons work fine. I tried the reboot and restore default in BIOS with no luck.

    Did you remove this tool from Toshiba or install another OS?

  • Satellite A100: Media buttons do not work

    Hello!

    I have the Satellite A100, Windows XP SP2. All the media buttons on the left of the keyboard has stopped working. They worked yesterday, I did not install anything or even shut down the computer since then. They just stop working.

    Can someone help me to fix it?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I think you should first of all, clean the registry.
    You can use a freeware tool called CCLeaner. It s great. I also use it.

    After removing the old Toshiba control Utility and cleaned the Windows registry reboot once more and install first the common Modules!
    After the installation of common Modules install Toshiba controls.

    Good luck and feedback would be highly appreciated.

  • Satellite L850 - Bluetooth does not work after upgrade to Windows 10

    After the upgrade of the W10, BT did not work so I updated the drivers Atheros AR3012 version 10.0.1.1

    It still does not work. My phone can see the laptop on BT, but says that he cannot communicate with him.

    The laptop does not tosee phone & Yes the phone is discoverable. My BT headset can not be seen now by phone.
    All this worked fine with W7

    My laptop is Satellite L850 (PSKDLE)
    Any ideas?

    Hello

    In most cases, BT does not work due to lack of BT software.
    I guess you will need to install the filter for the BT driver package.

    In most cases the 8 Win / filter package 8.1 Bluetooth driver should work under Win 10... Then try to install the Atheros Bluetooth driver filter package and check to see if you will be able to activate BT

  • Satellite L850/046 HDMI not working not

    I have the laptop above 8 win with a plug vga on a monitor.
    Recently, I bought an HDMI cable to a spare with dvi - d 18 pin port monitor.
    He worked for a week then suddenly just now connected HDMI monitor cleared port.

    I tried to use the display function to turn it back to the but no luck.
    Only the VGA connected monitor works and the laptop monitor is also disabled.

    They only way I can get the laptop monitor to work is to disconnect the HDMI port.
    Some how connect this port is now interfering with the monitor to the laptop to function.
    I tried to restart the laptop but having the same problem.

    I saw on another forum where the moderator suggested using this link to reinstall the driver, Toshiba
    http://support.Toshiba.com/drivers

    I tried to use the serial number and model number, but it does not either.

    Someone has an idea?

    Kind regards

    James

    Your PSKG8A-046001was Toshiba Satellite L850/046 released in Australia and you must use the Toshiba Australia support page to get the drivers.
    http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/download

    But I put t know which driver you want to reinstall or update?
    There is no particular HDMI driver. The HDMI port is recognized automatically by the system.

    But of course, it might be possible that your graphics card drivers are muddled up: Intel and AMD
    So uninstall the ATI GPU driver first.

    The laptop uses the Intel Core i5 3210M CPU processor and this graphic unit supports internal Intel HD 4000 CPU.
    I recommend you update the Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver and the ATI/AMD driver.

    By the way: the latest version of the Intel HD Graphics driver 4000 can be downloaded from Intel page too.

  • Satellite L850 - 17K: sheets of work, but not all the FN keys are available

    Hi everone,

    2 days ago I reinstalled Windows 7 (64-bit) on my Satellite L850 - 17 K.
    I managed to reinstall all drivers, but I had some problems with my function keys.

    After a long search on the internet I found the utility flashcards, but now I don't have 4 flashcards appear (brightness, touchpad, mute, wireless) but only the touchpad function and mute answer. Before you reinstall Windows, I had also a function for the output of the screen which is also shown/not unresponsive.

    The flashcards, I also don't look the same as before.

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop your Satellite was shipped with WIN7 64-BIT Home Premium so I don't understand why you do not use this recovery image that includes all the necessary drivers and tools and utilities.

    Anyway, if you want to have the clean version of the OS all things can be downloaded from Toshiba download page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    You need to install is that Toshiba value added package and all other tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.
    > The flashcards, I also look the same as before

  • Satellite L750 Fn buttons not work & close does not work either

    I used my L750 for about 3 weeks now and all of a sudden the function keys (using the FN + F keys) have stopped working.

    In addition, the stop, when I go to start, then press stop, my laptop used to actually stop.

    Now all that I can click is either sleep or Hibernate in the sliding arrow on the button menu turn off.
    Can someone help me with this.

    They were all working fine until now.

    > I used my L750 for about 3 weeks now and all of a sudden the function keys (using the FN + F keys) have stopped working.

    Select all programs-> Flash Cards Utility, and then restart Flash cards.

    The point is that this utility controls the FN keys and this should be the first step to get the button works again.

    If this does not work, reinstall the VAP (value added package)

    Regarding the turning off of the question:
    Right click on the Start button-> properties
    Now click on Start Menu tab
    Here, in the action of the power point button Choose Shut down
