Satellite P500-12F: brightness display problem

Whenever I have Toshiba Support ring I always feel to do away with the same answer: 'use your recovery disks.

My recent problem concerns the power options, there is a slider that allows to increase the brightness of your screen.

My cursor is located in the Center, but if I try to move the slider to increase the brightness, it becomes darker instead, also if I select 'high performance' it becomes darker, even if I select 'eco', it becomes more clear.

I think it's a hardware problem, while T.Support think it's a software problem and advise using my recovery

discs, which as everyone knows is a problem a lot of your time.
Someone had a similar problem?

Hello

The point why many users suggest using the recovery disk is simply; in this case you can easily find if it of software or hardware related issue.
In many cases, some 3rd party installed tools or software that may affect the functionality and the recovery disc helps you eliminate it.

However, what the use of the FN keys; FN + F6 decreases the brightness; FN + F7 increases the brightness?

  • Re: Satellite P500-12F - cannot install the new nVidia display driver

    Good evening

    I'm sorry for stupid question, but I don't know what to do. I have the Satellite P500-12F.

    I tried to download the new graphics drivers for the NVidia card, I went to the site of NVidia and downloaded a new driver, which dates back to December 2009, instead of mine, which is July 2009, however, when I try to install it, the system indicates that Joana does no hardware that is compatible with the new driver.

    Could you tell me, what am I doing wrong? I could use any guidance as well. Thank you very much!

    Hello

    Why you try to use the nVidia display driver? These drivers are not pre-tested on the laptop and installation is at your own risk! In the worst case, you could destroy the graphics chip.

    As Akuma written already using the latest drivers Toshiba because they are pre-tested.

    Why you want to update the display driver? You are not satisfied?
    Remember: never change a running system! ;)

  • Re: Editing on Satellite P500-12F .mts files

    Hi, I have a question about the change. MTS files:

    My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P500-12F / Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53GHz / RAM: 4 GB HD: 500 GB / BD - RE DL / 18.4 "/ Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit /"

    And I use Corel video studio pro X 3 to edit my SD videos and I was very happy with it until I tried to use the software to edit HD videos very short 2-4 minutes long that I got from a friend to test it before buying my HD camcorder.

    These videos are played on the laptop without problem using WMP or video studio pro x 3 in the preview window, the problem starts when I add another track of overlay to make modifications or any title or effects on the overlay track as I used to do with SD videos.

    If I do any sort of editing and try to see the changes in the preview window, the image moves very slowly, vibrates and the sound is broken, it seems that I'm editing a 24 hours of work not 2-4 minutes. clips.

    So I do not understand where is the lie of the problem, what is the spec of the laptop? What codecs do I need to install? Or the settings that I need to do?

    bye the way, if I decide to save the changes I made for the video it is so annoying to check during the preview/editing process, the final file plays great without problems and in HD quality.

    I wonder if someone can help me.

    Thank you

    Hello, Armelle

    Please don't get me wrong, but I do not understand the relationship between issue described and Toshiba laptop.
    Don't you think that it is the related issue of Toshiba or you should speak with the support of software manufacturer?

    This application can be installed on your laptop as part of the recovery image, but I don't think that Toshiba is responsible if you have a problem with a software feature.

  • Satellite P500-12F - Question about installing the drivers

    Have recently bought a new P500 Satellite 12F and I am very happy with it. This PC came only came on the market on 29 Oct. I decided this pilot site updates, bios, etc. and was surprised to find a few tens of individuals in the list.

    When I rang Toshiba support he told me don't bother to install as there may be a danger and if if its ok market don't bother!

    I would like a second opinion please.

    Satellite P500 is newer model comes with the latest drivers, tools and utilities for Toshiba laptop.
    It turns out that the Toshiba doesn't offer updates every month and, in my opinion, you don't need any update to date.

    I guess that your series of satellites well and without some serious software problems. So, touch of an operating system and be happy with your new toy.

    original is Win7 64 bit OS (original image of recovery Toshiba) preinstalled on this P500?

    Nevertheless, it is a new laptop and it should make you happy.  Get the information you need to be happy again.

  • Problem with my Satellite P500-12F HDMI

    When I plug the HDMI cable into the port on the computer, the system generates the message "Connected TV haven't is either not turned on, is in sleep state or does not support REGZA-LINK (HDMI Control)" my computer screen then empties and my desktop appears on television, whereas it should be on both screens. Also, the HDMI option disappeared from my PowerDVD program as well.

    I received a message from Tempro Download Manager control HDMI a few days ago that I did, but when I checked the updates, it tells me the last of them was 13/11/09 without reference to it the latter.

    I checked the cables and ports on the TV, I can't think what I can do.

    > When I plug the HDMI cable into the port on the computer, the system generates the message "connected TV haven't is either not turned on, is in sleep state or does not support REGZA-LINK (HDMI Control).
    But your TV is already turned on, right? Is also enabled on TV HDMI port?
    > My computer screen, and then empties and my desktop appears on television.
    This happens only? Can you use the FN + F5 key combination and select other options?
    > while it should be on the two screens
    Have you noticed such behavior in the past?

  • Satellite L870 - 16 c - display problems with some games

    Hello

    I bought this laptop recently and it turns out that I have problems with some games of tearing.
    But with all the games, only some of them (ex: the Triune Witcher, borderlands,...).

    So I was wondering what could be the problem?
    So far, I've heard that could be a problem of v-sync, but everything I made this topic has not changed a thing.

    Is this just a software problem or would it be a hardware problem with the graphics card?
    I plan to send my laptop for Toshiba, so I wanted to know if it was the only solution (and if it was indeed a solution).

    For more information, this is a C with an ati radeon HD 7670 L870 m graphics card - 16 (driver version: 12.10 - 130101 a - 151427E - ATI), running on 64-bit windows 8.

    Someone at - it indexes?

    Thank you

    What game problems do you have exactly?
    Could you be more specific?

    You said that you have some problems, but NOT with all the games.
    That is why I don't think you have a hardware problem

    In most of the games (all) cases problems are related to drivers of graphics card in my long game experience, all the questions that I had in the past were related to problems of compatibility between the driver and the game.

  • Satellite P500-12F - Bluescreens and how to disable the beeps?

    Get the "blue screen" too often, the message suggests that this might be the cause:

    * Files helping to describe the problem: *.
    C:\Windows\Minidump\031311-31278-01.dmp
    C:\Users\mike\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-87578-0.SysData.XML

    Does that mean something to someone? This isn't for me. Also someone now how to disable beeps on left side of the keyboard?

    Hello

    What blue screen, you get exactly? Can you post the code as 0 x 00000123 bluescreen.
    In addition, it would be important to know what operating system you have.

    The beeps lift side of the keyboard can be disabled in the BIOS (BIOS setup > advanced > System Setup). There is an option called beep you have to disable.

  • Satellite P500-12F - mouse trackpad not working not

    Hi all

    I just bought a P500 opportunity and the touch pad does not work, I tried to market through f9 FN keys but nothing will work even the left and right mouse buttons, I would like to ask if there is something else I can try or if not what kind of costs are involved to fix it please also where would I get a backlit KB and it would work on this model? When I type some time missing a letter as if I'm not hitting the keys hard enough, but I think I am lol...

    Any help really appreciated, thank you very much.

    Hi CT1965,

    The touchpad does appear in Device Manager correctly and did you test if other FN keys work correctly?
    What operating system is currently installed?

    There are different reasons why the touchpad does not work, but first of all I recommend reinstalling the driver for the touchpad itself. You can download it from the official European driver Toshiba download page.

    Regarding the backlight keyboard: it s based on the motherboard if there is a second keyboard to the keyboard backlight connector. Normally, you can check this if you disassemble the laptop and remove the keyboard and take a look at the motherboard, but if you are not familiar with the disassembly of the laptop I would ask a maintainer approved assistance. :)
