• Satellite U300-152 - no audio output device is installed

  The sounds are works well when I do update windows, update antivirus and updated some software like adobe air and adobe shockwave but when I open the laptop the next morning, there is a red cross marked in the speaker icon on the lower right of the laptop and it says : "no audio output device is installed".

  I couldn't find the sound and game controller in Device Manager so I'm frustrated. Its been 3 days now, I use the laptop without noise.

  Can you please help me in this matter?

  My laptop is Toshiba Satellite U300-152
  Windows 7 Ultimate but not pre-installed (Vista Home has been the pre-installed)

  I tried to download the latest audio driver from realtek high defintion, but its still does not. Tried several restarts, System Restore, disable antivirus but does not yet.

  I don't know what can be the problem but the fact is that updates Windows update offers some drivers and, in general, you should not install their Mr. with other words, you should only use the drivers from Toshiba.

  What can you do now? Have you tried to reduce the OS to an earlier time (before installing updates) and check the functionality?

  One last thing. Software driver Sound should start with Windows, then please check MSCONFIG > startup if the sound software is listed and enabled it.

• Satellite U300 - Play/Pause key media with Winamp

  Hello!

  I recently received a Satellite U300. Windows XP SP3. Media at the top of the keyboard control keys are recognized fine in Winamp 5.5 except the button Play/Pause. I tried to use other programs, but nothing seems to recognize the presses of the button play/pause, while all others (including the volume knob) are recognized as standard multimedia keys. I was wondering if the key on my laptop may be broken or if this was due to the installation of the given key.

  Also, I was wondering if it was possible to prevent wheel volume adjust the volume of the main system, or making set set small increments - at present rotating adjusts the Winamp both volumes of main system at the same time.

  Thank you!

  > I was wondering if the key on my laptop may be broken or if this was due to the installation of the given key.

  It s not a fault and the keys are definitely not broken.
  Usually, these controls Toshiba Utilities are designed to control the software like Windows Media Player (CD) or WinDVD (DVD).
  Other 3rd party applications may have problems using these buttons because of the compatibility issue. But once again; This is not a fault.

  Hello...

  I have a problem with my laptop Satellite L40 - 17R. I've updated from Windows XP to Vista Business. Almost everything works fine, but I noticed that the Tilda key (~) does not work! the key does nothing.

  I changed the keyboard layout to a lot of other layouts, but no solution.

  Did anyone have any suggestions? !!!

  Hello

• Replacement of "scissors" Satellite Pro 6000 keyboard keys

  Hello!

  Please, is it the instructions available for replacement keys on 6000 SP?

  I have the Windows key, on the top line of the 2nd from the right button, totally broken/lost, even the "scissors"...

  I have another keyboard with a fine touch Windows and got the hood detach easily, but scissors, is a hard nut, I was several times was trying to find a way to loosen it, but so far do not succeed at this, except maybe somehow break it and to do so unusable...

  Is there a way to loosen and had then re-installed on another keyboard?

  Scissors other larger keys seems to be easier to loosen, but scissors these small upper row keys do not...

  Best regards

  Pete v.

  Hello Pete

  Sorry, but I must ask you something: just damaged plastic or there is no key functionality at all?

  To remove the plastic is very simply. Just the move from bottom to top. The new plastic cover should be just properly placed and pushed down. All that s.

  The principle for all keys of the keyboard is the same. I really don't understand what is the problem in your case. Two keyboards are exactly the same (for the same model of laptop)?

• Satellite C855-1john - some keys are dead

  Satellite C855-1Jn

  A key is dead on my keyboard, it is not a real problem, except to enter

  My computer is off when the battery is low, and now I'm stuck in recovery menu: I have two choices, but I need to necessarily validate with the Enter key, there is no automatic choice after awhile and keyboard plugged into a usb port does not.
  I can't use the key I reassigned it does not take into account, and I can't, in the F2 menu, change the order of starting device to add the USB keyboard, because I need to confirm with "enter".

  I don't know what I can do to move this menu

  In the case where the same issue is not using external USB keyboard, the main problem must be linked to the fault of the internal keyboard and to fix it, the internal keyboard needs to be replaced.

• Satellite L360D - some keyboard keys malfunction

  Laptop Toshiba Satellite L360D. Space bar does not function & right hand shift tab
  Any point of view?

  Hello

  Yes, I have an idea
  In my opinion the internal keyboard needs to be replaced.
  There is no other solution for this because the simple buttons are not replaceable.

  In the meantime, you can use an external USB keyboard. It should work fine and could be a good option until the internal keyboard has been replaced.

• Reinstalled XP on laptop, now the keyboard keys are not mapped correctly

  Hello world

  I recently reinstalled Windows XP on my laptop because it became mega sucky and slow after three years to have. In any case, the keys on the keyboard are not how they were originally. For example, pressing SHIFT + ' originally produced @, now is '. '. Also initially produced shift + 2 "now it's @." There are a few questions like these across the keyboard. Could someone point me in the right direction to solve this?

  Thank you very much!

• Satellite U300-152: working time of battery is low

  I see that my battery life of laptop newly purchased is low.
  I tried to use the battery alone (not connected with sector and power adapter) and unloaded it completely until the computer went away by itself.

  Then I plugged the adapter for the laptop to recharge the battery, an orange light flashes on battery to show charge, after hours of waiting while the computer is on, I checked the State of the battery in the bottom right of the screen, he says: it was already fully charged to 100%.

  So I took out the power adapter to check how many hours would it take for the battery to use when the computer is turned on.
  To my surprise, it only shows 1 hour and 15 minutes.

  Does that mean my battery already have problems since its life expectancy is low only?
  I read the user manual, the life of the battery must be at least 1.5 days before he will be discharged completely.

  Can you enlighten us here?

  Thanks for your answers...

  > I read the user manual; the life of the battery must be at least 1.5 days before he will be discharged completely

  What? 1.5 days! Sorry, but I don't believe that and I think that it is not possible using the U300 only to batteries.

  I have an adapter Satellite A210 with a pre-installed Vista OS and I can run on battery for 1.5 hours

  But let's talk about facts;
  Is that battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
  The battery was more quickly dump everything by watching movies or playing games.
  If your race only some application like internet browser or Word and your screen brightness isn't defined at a higher level, and then the battery needed to dump more slowly.

  Please don t forget something important. you have preinstalled Vista.
  This OS eat laptops resources and needs more power than Win XP for example.

  I read somewhere on the internet that a same notebook with Windows XP pre-installed would be much longer as with Vista preinstalled.

  As you can see the battery working time depends on different factors.

• Re: Satellite A215-S5818 - keyboard key arrow in stuck

  I have an A215-S5818.

  The computer acted as if the up arrow on the keyboard has been blocked, even if it wasn't. Finally, I disconnected the keyboard from the motherboard and reset the computer. Even with no attached keyboard it is still somehow a "arrow" signal processing several times.

  It practically made my computer unusable until I downloaded a program that would allow me to disable specific keys, so I disabled just to the arrow up and together that keyboards repeat rate low to minimize the CPU usage. However, it is a windows application and of course is not running during startup. This quick repeated cause high sharp beep speakers (I finally unplugged them) and slows down the startup process enormously.

  I got several bits of advice.

  "Update/verify/change your bios": I can't because the with the arrow stuck up, I can't point out something other than the first option in each menu.
  "reformat": that did not work either
  "reinstall your ram": that did not work either
  'replace the battery CMOS': that no longer works
  "Try an external keyboard": the only way that might help is if I could support faster then the computer "repeat rate".

  So, with all that said. My guess is hardware problems with the keyboard, or motherboard. But I'd like some opinions more...

  It happens in the BACK as well? Boot from a floppy disk BACK and test it at the command prompt, or in the BIOS.

  An external mouse/keyboard driver is perhaps the origin of the problem.

  Otherwise if its doing when the keyboard is detached, the card mother may need replacement.

• Satellite L670 - missess keyboard keys

  Hey all, had this problem since the new - November 2010.

  I've seen several threads on the same issue, but above all, all have been solved by an update of the BIOS.

  I did this update of the BIOS when it came out and everything was fixed.
  So long that I have been using an external keyboard, but I decided to unplug the unit yesterday and once more the problem occurred.
  It took about 3-4 minutes to type while it should take me less than a minute.

  Here is an example of a sentence:
  "I have a keyboard problem which is irritating a me lot"-FIXED
  "I am avea keyoard isue wich is irriatin me a lot"-RAW

  Thank you
  Ravi

  Hello

  You have installed an additional driver for this keyboard? If so, I would recommend removing this driver. For external mouse and you n t need special keyboard drivers, the internal Windows driver is enough and can be used for this.

  In addition, enter the BIOS setup and load the defaults (F9 key). Then save settings and exit the BIOS.

  It works again?

• Satellite U300-152: DVD Player hangs after two chapters of the film

  I have read the DVD using Windows Media Player, Media Center and Player Toshiba DVD movie but he eventually hangs and does not continue.

  I tried another DVD movie but it's the same deal, it doesn't push through. Do you think that there is a problem in the DVD-ROM or is it just the DVD movie? Anyway, it's a hacked DVD, a copy, I bought cheap in sidewalks, but I thought that the DVD-ROM of this laptop could play anything, just?

  Spare part for my ignorance. I'm new with this stuff. Ciao. Thank you.

  > Its a DVD hacked a copy I bought cheap in sidewalks, but I thought that the DVD-ROM of this laptop could play anything, just?

  That s not quite right.
  Of course, the CD/DVD drive can read different media but sometimes it possible s that the CD or DVD media can be not fully supported by CD/DVD drive. That s nothing unusual

  But it would be very interesting to know if you can watch original DVD movies. ?:|
  I mean not a copy or something like that.

  If you will be able to watch different films on DVD, then there s nothing wrong with your CD/DVD drive.

  Greetings

  My question is if I buy the new keyboard problem will be fix or it's something to do with the motherboard?

  Thank you

  Hello

  If everything is ok with the external keyboard, it seems that a few keys on the internal keyboard are faulty. I agree with Timox and swap the keyboard internal which is very cheap and can be done in 10 minutes.

  Do you know where you can order spare parts?
  You can do this if you contact an authorized service provider. You can find a list of the guys here:
