Satellite P300 - steering wheel Volume control writing a series of C

Good day to you all,.

I have a satellite P300 and the wheel of the front volume control no longer work as before. Unable to adjust the volume, unless openind sound icon control. In addition, if I try to adapt (volume) while working with a word processor, a series of C is written on the page to the screen.
What is happening and how to get it working properly again?

Thanks a lot

Hi JCP34,

I found a similar thread on the same behavior on Satellite A300 and the solution was very simple: it's the dirt on the inside and with jet of compressed air, blow it. After that, it s working again.

  • Satellite P300 - 13 M - Volume control letters

    I have a little problem with my Volume control on the front of my laptop.
    If I turn it, the volume of the laptop will not change.
    But for some reason, he wrote 'c' and 'b '.

    For example. When I type an email and I want to change the volume by turning the volume (up and down) control, I get this:
    ccccccbbccccccccccccccccccccccccccbbccccccbbccccc
    As soon I turn it up and down more ' BS I get.
    It is really strange and frustrating. Have been locking for drivers to fix this, but there is no driver for it.

    Can someone help me please.
    (And recover my full book isn't an option)

    Hello

    Akuma wrote it's very strange. You must also understand that no one here can say with certainty why this happens, but we can start this discussion with some questions.

    The fact is that every laptop comes with the pre-installed recovery image. This image is tested and something like that should not happen. The questions are:

    Are you still using this factory or you have installed your own operating system?
    Have you noticed this strange behavior from the first day?
    Maybe did you install additional software that may be responsible for this?

    At the end one thing: maybe you should try radical and install OS using created recovery media. After doing this, you will again have to factory settings. It will be interesting to see if the problem persists. If so, I think that this is the case for the authorized service provider.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - problem with volume control

    Hello

    I have a problem with my volume control. He worked for the first two months of use value, but now refuses to lower the sound.
    He sort of stutters and actually transforms the sound upward when you turn, he 'left' to drop.

    I markets DEAMS it is a digital control and therefore is not a point 'end' like other laptops. I also noticed others are experieicing this problem.

    Is there a solution to this problem? I don't really like having to manually click on the volume control in the status bar on the window in order to be able to turn the laptop down. Maybe someone can help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    In your case, I recommend reinstalling the audio driver and controls (with Win XP) Toshiba or Toshiba VAP (if Vista is installed).
    In addition, you should check if the BIOS can be updated too.

    Sorry for this suggestion, but in my opinion that the question must be related software and the fact is that driver sound and the VAP multimedia button controls and the sound card.

    It of certainly worth a try

  • Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E: Volume control moves without any breakpoint

    First time I've used this excuse. Just bought my second Toshiba this time Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E Vista Business. The volume control turns both clockwise and anti hourly without any breakpoint that it in either... just begins to turn.

    Increase and decrease the volume but it is unpredicatble and the fact that there is no breakpoint on the rotation of the wheel is I wonder if there is a fault? Seems strange to me.

    Adivce appreciated
    See you soon

    There s nothing wrong with the volume control!
    Here are the new properties of the volume control. These volume controllers are integrated in the different portable Toshiba top of range, that a similar volume controller can be found in the new Qosmio series

    So relax and enjoy your new toy ;)

    Hi dude

  • By Satellite L300-147-manual volume control does not

    The manual on the laptop volume control no longer works. If I try to adjust the volume (on the right of the headphone plug-ins) - I just keep scrolling. So, I can only watch DVDs on a really low level. I adjusted the volume under 'control panel' control to the maximum level.

    Any ideas to fix this please?

    Never heard talk about it but it makes sense with the installation of the Package of added value.

    It's really strange question, and it will be interesting to know if this helped. Please post the results.

  • Satellite P300 - 19 p: media control need to press several buttons times

    Hi all, I'm a newbie on this forum, but I like my Toshiba products!

    I recently received a P300 19 p and touch sensitive environments on the high keys buttons (Media Player to mute, open, play/pause, stop, previous, next) work, but only when I type them something like 20 to 30 times repeatedly. Sometimes, they work in only 5 or 6 taps, sometimes, it takes more like 50. What happens here?

    I would have thought it was something to do with windows media player has a lot of songs (about a thousand to be honest), but that would not explain the silent buttong being devoid.

    (Windows Vista 32 bit home premium)

    The LEDs all work fine if... :-(

    OK thank you EmperorK for this nice feedback that the problem has been resolved!

    Just a tip about the temperature higher;
    Please note that your laptop is always used on the table to avoid a higher internal temperature.
    This is important because the grids and the cooling fans are still free to ensure a flow of fresh air.

    Good bye

  • Satellite P300 - 1-9-10 SD card reader code

    Hi all

    I have a new Toshiba P300 - 1 9, good for six months, and have just for the first time I tried an SD card into the slot of the multimedia card digital.
    The card does not appear in 'my computer '. In Device Manager it shows with the yellow sign fault warning of a problem.
    Double click it gives this message "this device cannot start code 10" in the management of the disk of the card is not listed in the upper pane, but shows as a player in the lower pane without a drive letter assigned.

    If I try to assign a drive letter, I get a message saying that the operation failed because the disk management console view is not updated.
    He wants to refresh the view by using the refresh task. Which does nothing.

    I reinstalled the drivers for the SD card listed under disk drives when the card is in, storage controllers and generic volume on storage volumes. I've also updated the driver for SD host adapters.

    A card format made no difference. I know that the card reader is correct because a few days ago, I took an image updated with Acronis TI and then reinstalled the OS from the recovery media. The card worked fine then. I have now put the Acronis image and the map does not work. I had loads of driver updates on the road to Toshiba for various things (but not the card reader) through their service Tempro, including an update of the bios.
    I wonder if the bios update caused the problem. I'm debating whether the BIOS to the default setting.

    I have tried everything I can think and followed by a number of suggestions after googling the problem. The MS Knowledge Base was not very useful and many people seem to have the same problem. I am now at a total loss.

    Thank you

    cheven

    Any ideas would be welcome.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The 10 error code means that the device cannot start.
    Card reader is not ready and is not running and therefore the SD card cannot be used and is not recognized in my computer.

    In most cases the update driver/relocation should help sort put them this question.
    Satellite P300 - 1 9 belongs to the PSPCCE series.

    The European driver Toshiba page provides the controller driver of card reader for this model of laptop. This is the driver that controls the SD card.

    I recommend that you download this driver. Access the Device Manager, and then uninstall the previous driver. Reboot the laptop.
    After restarting again the OS must find a new device and should request the necessary driver.
    Then you must point to the driver that you downloaded and should complete the installation.

    Usually, this should solve your problem.

  • Card VGA for Satellite P300-212

    Hello

    I need help.
    I own a Toshiba Satellite P300-212 (model No. PSPCCE - 052001 GR / series n ° 39128963W).
    Now my VGA is broken.
    Now, I want to fix, but I have different information about the 'original' built in my laptop VGA.

    1 TOSHIBA BD3 VGA/B-M96 Q - DR. A000039790
    2 TOSHIBA BD3 VGA/B-M96 H - DR. A000045290

    Which is the correct?

    The 2nd Board has 2 different numbers: 81869TBS & 98415TBS
    But the number of pieces is the same.
    Now I'm confused.

    What are the differences between the boards and which is the one I should buy?

    Thanks for the help!

    I m not an expert for this but what I've found, is to follow:

    This laptop model comes with two different graphics controllers
    -ATI M96 DDR3 (1 GB)
    -ATI M96 GDDR3 (1 GB)

    The only difference is that ATI M96 DDR3 (1 GB) doesn't have analog output (S-video/composite) TV.

    Has your computer laptop S-video port available?

  • Re: Satellite P200-123 volume control wheel

    Is it a mechanical or software driven command?

    If I turn the wheeel 'up' the volume sometimes breaks down? It doesn't seem to be a 'stop' on the wheel.

    All tips are welcome

    Thank you

    Hello

    the volume control of the Satellite P200 is a software engine, so it has no physical stop like on older machines, which means that there are some disadvantages about the time to change the flight and the reaction control.
    Don t ask me why they have implemented this software wheel-driven, but each new series of machines there and it s predictable that they will stay with this technique...

    You work quietly with the steering wheel to avoid such phenomena as spin the wheel 'up', but the volume down.
    I have the same on my Tecra S5 and it drives me crazy sometimes, but I have to live with it...

  • Satellite U300 - strange problem with volume control wheel

    I bought a U300 last week and I find that the volume control wheel doesn't move very easily. It seems that you have to push it slightly to adjust the volume, and when you release your finger, the volume goes in the direction you moved to slowly. Everyone knows this?

    In addition, when pressures above the express card slot the housing compresses. This happens on all the U300s?

    I would go back to the store I bought in and ask, but I live quite some distance from him so I thought I'd see if anyone here could help first. All responded very appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Looks like the wheel is stuck and something around the wheel blocks the volume wheel. I think the best idea is to return the machine as you said, since it s very unusual described what you´ve.

    You can also send your machine to a service partner chartered for an assessment of health/repair of equipment.
    If you need help to find the one closest to your country, you can use the following link to find some:

  • Way to increase the sensitivity of the volume control on Satellite P300

    Hello

    I was wondering if there is a way to increase the sensitivity of the volume control on my P300? On my old toshiba, it's maybe 1 full rotation of the minimum to maximum. On this one, it seems that you are there for about 5 minutes fiddling around with your thumb to get it to change significantly.

    See you soon,.

    On old Toshibas volume control has been ordered mechanically, but now it works electronically and this option doesn't exist.
    It is unclear to me that you can do anything about it.

  • The volume control on the Satellite Pro A200 with Ubuntu 7.10

    I have a Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9, I did recently to dual boot with Vista and Ubuntu 7.10. It's the first time I used Linux and most things are going well so far.

    However, the volume control (a wheel at the front of the laptop) does not control the volume correctly with Ubuntu, rather than increase the volume smoothly as with Vista, it increases in a 1/8 of maximum volume jumps, the on-screen volume control is always smooth. I think that it is at least partly due to the change of a material volume wheel, as with the latest Toshiba, I have used, for a version of software based. It controls the system volume and runs continuously, without stop at maximum or minimum volumes.

    Does anyone know how to change this change in volume for a smooth jump?

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    given that no one here has no idea, nor pilots, nor any information about the driver from toshiba support, nobody will be able to give you some useful information.

    Have you ever google and checked the ubuntu forums? According to me, which will bring you closer the source here instead.
    So just to start to ask in the ubuntu forums because I think that someone is there who maybe has the same problem as you.

    I hope that artistry a kind of programmer. ;)

  • Can satellite P300 - I connect to a TV and control?

    Can I connect my Satellite P300 to TV hdmi-cec and control the laptop with the tv remote?

    Hello

    Connecting via HDMI cable should t be a problem. Just buy a high quality cable and connect both devices. With FN + F5, you can switch between monitors.

    Unfortunately I think that it of not possible to control the laptop through TV remote. The TV remote is designed for your TV, not your laptop. ;)

  • Massage "cannot Access Volume Control!" on my Satellite L20

    I have this strange problem on my laptop Satellite L20-100 with Windows XP Pro pre-installed.
    When I turned on the laptop this morning I got this massage WARNIG: "Can t Access Volume Control!", then I noticed that the (Windows) Volume control icon does not appear in the system tray of taskbar.

    Generally, the sound works under Windows. When I go to control panel-> sounds and devices Audio-> Volume V is marked near the "place volume icon taskbar", I tried to deselect and score again. It still does not appear, if I can change the volume here (Panel-> Sound) and Audio-> Volume devices and it works, but when I try to change it with Fn + up/down the whole bar is red because he does not see the sound card or something.

    I tried to reinstall the audio driver, nothing happens.
    This actually happened before, the first time that reinstalling Windows helped, I think.
    Anyone have any idea what should I do? Thanks in advance...

    If this problem occurred suddenly have you tried to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool?
