Satellite P500-12D - keyboard backlight?

Hi there recently bought by Satellite P500-12D and thought he had a backlit keyboard.

I know that the touch screen on the left turns, but on all comments, images, and videos I've seen of this laptop keyboard has the function to be light from below with the same white color as the other witnesses on the laptop.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to turn it on?
So either I am wrong and it doesn't have a backlit keyboard or im just unable to find.

Could someone tell me please how to activate this feature.
Any help is very appreciated,

Thank you.

Hello

Not all laptops the keyboard backlight feature supported.

If your keyboard would support the backlight then you should see a tiny keyboard sign Z button.

Then you may activate it using the FN + Z button.

But if there is no keyboard icon and then the keyboard does not support the backlight.

    Hello

    May I ask if you have checked the system requirements for Civilization 4 first? Before you try to play a game, you should check the system requirments. Is the laptop fast enough and very important: the graphics card is compatible with this game?
    Check this box!

    If you meet the system requirements make sure that the latest Toshiba display driver is installed. Don t use the driver from nVidia directly, it doesn t have a protection against overheating.

    And you have installed the latest version of DirectX?

  • Satellite P500-12D - a problem with the cooling system has been detected.

    Hi there everyone,

    I bought a Satellite P500-12D, which was a return of retail. When I start it up it runs a few minutes and then it appears on the screen:
    WARNING: A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please, turn off computer immediately and return it for service.

    Follow the health of toshiba CPU is less than 50% temp and if it goes much higher that the cooling fan turns on and it lowers down and the fan stops again, I noticed that only the fan works r/h to cool the cpu, both should come together? What is a software problem?

    TThe unit is new without even the plastic off the surround screen or webcam. Any help or even point me in the right direction would be much appreciated, gary

    Hello

    Which program gives you this error message about the cooling system?

    Before contacting a service partner, as you can read in the error message, you must clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. Maybe dust blocking the fan or something else. Of more to clean up it of not necessary to disassemble.
    Here is an article on this topic: [how to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

    If it doesn't help, contact the nearest service partner.

    Hello

    Counter question: why you want to use any other display drivers? Are not satisfied with the drivers of Toshiba or can you notice problems in Windows?

    Theoretically, it is possible to use the nVidia drivers directly but don t forget that they are not pre-tested on your laptop. Your graphics card could be overheating and so you lose the warranty.

    Satellite P500 is fairly new, so I guess that Toshiba updates the display driver in next time too. Take a look at the page from time to time. ;)

  • Satellite P500-12D adding 2nd HARD drive

    Toshiba UK say it is not possible to install a second drive in a P500-12D.
    The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
    I was also told that the second drive Bay could not be used "on the model" but the sata connection is there and inserts brass threaded in the case of the scree of the carrier are present.

    The Bay is deeper than 1 Bay (for the thicker > 500 GB drives and, therefore, the support unit for the 1st Bay can be used - entire centres are also different.)

    Ideas for a work around?

    Sorry for the spelling mistakes - my original message would not be accepted "your message contains profanity or inappropriate language.
    In the interest of your fellow forum users, we ask you to change your message.
    "but no indication as to where." Maybe it's that the things happening in the threaded inserts are not allowed

    Peter K

    > The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
    The reason is that there are different configurations of P500
    The P500 and other series of Toshiba laptops are equipped with different motherboards.
    Not all motherboards support 2 HARD drive controllers.

    This can be a bit confusing for someone buying a laptop and see the second HARD drive Bay, but if you would remove the 2nd HARD drive Bay cover, then you will see that there is no HARD drive connector.
    This means that you will not be able to use the second HARD drive.

  • Satellite P500-12D cannot connect to external VGA display

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba P500-12D and I managed to add VGA lcd screen to watch 2 screens:
    The laptop screen & another external LCD screen that I connect to the VGA output.

    What should I do? Please help me.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Best wishes to you all!

    Hello

    The laptop supports a HDMI port and a VGA (RGB) output port.
    If you are using VGA output port, then he must connect the two machines (laptop and external monitor) using a VGA cable like this:
    [VGA cable | http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/Vga-cable.jpg]

    After that, it takes to put on the external screen, press FN + F5.
    Notes; you have to press FN + F5 until the monitor screen and the external laptop would be chosen.

    You will find great shots of keyboard backlight and some information
    You should check if the motherboard supports an additional connector called JBLG and is located on the right side of the connector of the main keyboard.
    If it is available, then you can update the device with a supported keyboard backlight.
