Satellite P300/Q01 - buttons Mute & Media LED is dead.

Hello, I am running on a P300/Q01. And recently my 2 LED buttons (media) are dead, they light up but when I press them nothing opens / mutes. He always runs the flicker thing however.

My other keys such as Stop/Play/Next work correctly.

I tried some solutions like the installation of VFR again, but that did nothing.

Please help me, because this is my last resort.

To be honest if fresh VAP installation didn't help all you can do is the last but radical solution install Vista using recovery DVD or HARD drive recovery option.

    Hi mate

    To my knowledge, there is a more recent version of VAP for Win 7 64 bit

    I recommend the VAP in the driver download section released for other series laptops more recent.
    Before installing the new version, please remove the old version, clean the registry (CCleaner is a good tool) and after rebooting again, install the VAP.

    Hello

    If you are using Vista, then you should have installed VAP (value added package).
    In Toshiba Assist-> optimize you will find the configuration of buttons of Toshiba utility.
    This utility allows you to configure the buttons again.

    You must choose your button and should point to the dimmer.exe file that is located in the folder C:\Program Files\Toshiba\TBS

    Assign the dimmer.exe to the light button and complete the configuration. This should help.

    Hello fellow forum members: x
    I just installed * Windows7 * on my laptop, it's an almost 4 years * Satellite M70-144 * (PSM71E-01400LED).
    I don't know how to make my built in media player buttons. I don't see any missing hardware driver, but still nothing happen when I press them.

    So please help me get this problem.

    It is a driver problem. I don't see any for W7 for your laptop. If those for Vista don't cut it, you probably will not going to be able to make it work.

  • Satellite P850/05F - button Mute a delay of 1-2 sec

    Hi guys,.

    I come to me a laptop Toshiba Satellite P850/05F recently, everything is perfect and I love her not to mention that of one small problem which is quite annoying. If I press the "Mute" button that is "F11"key, the mute symbol comes up, but it takes about 2 seconds so he can actually mute. " If it is not instantaneous.

    I googled around and doesn't seem like everyone has the same problem or has a solution. I already reformatted and reinstalled WIndows back to the default values and also reinstalled the drivers, but the problem is still there.

    I was wondering if this is common and if there is something I could do to fix this? It's driving me crazy.

    Contact your dealer as soon as possible, to explain the situation and I hope that you will get the other machine.
    Good luck.

  • Satellite P300-Q01 does not illuminate

    Hi all

    I was surfing the net a few hours ago, when my laptop just turned off.
    Since then, I tried taking the battery on the thing and used only the plug; but it does not work.

    I also tried out both the battery and mains Plug and tried pressing the button market for 30 seconds, then put the battery back, but that didn't work either.

    For the moment, when I plug in the plug thing there is no lights turn on by saying that I plugged it.
    I still have 3 weeks of warranty left.
    Are there tricks to turn this thing on, or will I have to refer to the warranty? (Note, the nearest town is 990 Km from here where I live)

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can try to remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
    Then, wait about 1 hour and then reconnect the two parts.
    Then try to turn on the machine.

    If this will not help then you should get in touch with ASP in your country because this could be a serious hardware problem that could be repaired only by ASP.

    Good luck buddy!

    This should set the machine to factory settings. Finally, you can create a recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called preinstalled software.

  • Satellite P300 - 148 Vista Ulimate - LED light button does not work

    My laptop model is Satellite P300-148.
    I reinstall system-vista Ultimate.

    However, after installation, my * mute button or LED light button * cannot be controlled by press mute.

    It's like, normally, when you press the mute, the light will be switched on or off.
    However, this is no answers when I press on it.

    I can only turn lighting on or off using Toshiba help.

    Also when I press the "play" button, the windows media player has no more answers.

    So is it a solution? Or drivers?
    Thanks for the reply.

    Hello

    I think that these buttons don t work properly due to the Vista Ultimate.
    I checked some threads here and it seems that the PPV that controls this Toshiba buttons don t support the ultimate or the ultimate doesn't fully support the VAP.

    But just a question;
    Did you check the Toshiba Assist-> Optimize-> Toshiba button Support?
    This tool allows you to configure the buttons. Maybe you should check this.

  • LED power button problem FIXED on Satellite P300

    Toshiba
    LED power button fix

    Toshiba
    Satellite P300-h-13

    By Thom
    Wijtenburg

    First of all, I would like to
    say you that I came up with this correction, after a clean reinstall of the
    Vista. (I used the serial number of windows on the bottom of my laptop for)
    install, so it's the same license as the OEM of windows and therefore
    Tout_a_fait legal.) After the clean install and installation of all the
    the drivers listed on the site of toshiba LED power button (also
    known as the mute button) and the CDDVD butten (mediaplayer button)
    stopped working. After browsing around forums toshiba I found
    this case, I removed the support button utility that the mute button has acted as
    a mute button. Also the mediaplayer button worked fine. Reinstalled
    the utility support for the button and they have stopped working. After many
    toshiba calls (I think about 5-6 in one day) they opened a
    support ticket for me, because they (team support callcenter)
    could not find a solution. Following their advice, I did the
    next to try to make it work:

    * Don't have a system restore with the restore DVD.
    * Do you have an another clean install.
    * Install the drivers in various ways (alphabetically reversed by alphabetical order and order of collection DVD).
    * update my BIOS.
    * downloaded a 'new' version of value added package (which was the same thing I already had).
    * installed the VAP with and without technical support button utility, no changes.
    After doing everything
    This, they said that they did not know the cause of my problem (at the beginning
    they thought it was hardware related). They came with a possible
    anwer:

    "It is."
    possible that we removed some features of windows vista
    operating system so that our one utility for device drivers
    work. In addition, we do support the configuration, that we delivered
    When you bought the laptop. »

    Now of course, I have
    understand that. I waited allmost a week, no response. Neither
    by electronic mail, or by phone, so I decided to google more
    on the problem.

    After a certain
    some research on Toshiba forum and Googling I came across
    a thread that sayd I must first install the utility 'control '.
    and the button press. Unfortunately what it did not work.

    Then, all of a sudden
    Windows displays a message saying that I should install the TOSHIBA.
    "ACPI-based value-added general use and logical device driver.
    I clicked on the provided download link, and the VFR package was a newer version
    version of the support page for my laptop which is held. So I downloaded
    This PPV version 1.17 and installed it. After a reboot, the buttons
    still did not work. But at least I got the file HWSetup.exe, where I
    could turn the LED off. Look into the button holder utility, I have
    saw that there where buttons like "Toshiba Assist" which my
    the laptop model is not.

    Navigation
    through the toshiba forum I found a file named ButtonSettings.ini, in
    which I can manually configure special keys. After a google
    search on the name of the file, I found that all the buttons list
    in a registry key. I saw the "Dimmer" file using the button
    folder and clicked on it. Poof... lights went out. Click again,
    Poof... lights turn it back on. So I replaced the wrong button definitions
    with CDDVD and dimmer values. Saved my changes but is not a restart.
    Opens the support button utility and change the path of
    MediaPlayer (who was always there to a previous definition) to
    Dimmer.exe. checked to see if the button CDDVD pointed
    MediaPlayer and restarted. When everything has been started, I pushed on the
    button again and presto... MUTE lights off. Pushed again, poof...
    lights. Pressed the mediaplayer button and started to mediaplyer. I have
    has been very happy when everything worked.
    Now that you
    know the story, here's the fix.

    * Difficulty: *.
    * Download and install the new VAP from here: [http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/util_tvap_26084A.exe]
    * Choose Edit in the installation and make sure that everything is checked
    * do NOT restart after the installation.
    * Download the ini fix and the fixed registry
    * Uncompress its contents into your working folder.
    * Copy the ini into C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TBS (where C: is the drive of program files)
    * In this same folder, start the exe called TBSbtnSt.exe
    * do NOT restart, click on 'no' in the dialog box.
    * Double click on the registry key, and then click 'Yes' to add to the registry
    * Then open the button support utility by clicking Start-> Toshiba-> utilities-> Toshiba assist. Help go to optimilization and click support button tohiba
    * If the path or the description is disabled, fix, and then click Save. See also if the CD/DVD mediaplayer points.
    * Restart you computer now.
    * If everything is is well past your special buttons should work.

    * WARNING: *.

    It worked for
    me, with my Toshiba Satellite P300-h-13, edition windows Home premium 32-bit.
    It should work on any model of 6 buttons with the mediaplayer and the mute
    buttons. I am in no way responsible for any damage that may arise
    If the fix does not work correctly. There is absolutely no. GARUENTEE
    It will work for you. If the answer is Yes, he does, and if it's not it
    doesn't work.

    I came

  • Satellite P300-1EJ - Mute button does not work

    Hello world

    Press mute on the media panel is no longer functional.
    I have the Satellite P300 1EJ.

    Help, please

    Hello!

    Is - it only the mute button not working or other buttons too?

    Normally you need for these buttons the Toshiba value added package if you are using Vista. I think you should try to reinstall. So to remove the older version, reboot the laptop and install the most recent version that you can download from the Toshiba site:

    Hello

    After the turning off my laptop, last week, the buttons of media suddenly stopped working.
    The strange thing is that they are flashing all the time, even when the laptop is turned off.

    I downloaded the toshiba Web site VAP (although the version was a 2009 one, if there is a new one for my laptop please let me know. Maybe I can use a VAP, a similar model.
    My system is Windows 7

    the other weird thing is that I have disabled the option of the illumination of the F2 Setup but the media buttons are still on.

    I also tried taking the battery, etc., but nothing

    any ideas?

    Hello

    The VAP is a Toshiba Software and as far as I know, you can use the other version of VAP, which was released for other series of laptop.
    For example, you can use the VAP released for Satellite P500, P750 series or higher.

    But I m wondering why the s button led is always ON even though the lighting is disabled in the BIOS.

    > I also tried taking the battery, etc., but nothing
    It is also my idea unplug the power adapter, remove the battery, hold down power button / stop along 30 sec.
    Then connect the AC adapter and check the functionality of the multimedia buttons.
