Satellite U400-217 - does not of media control buttons

Hey all,.

I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-217, which is one year old.

For some reason any lately the light on the media controls button doesn't seem to work - where he usually lit up the touchpad line and writing of Satellite. Other media control buttons seem to work well. If I hit the light button, it turns on for a second to tell me his touchdown then disappears and nothing happens.
What could be the problem?

I have searched several sites looking for a response, but can't seem to find it, I even looked for the driver, but could not find this not even on the Toshiba site - I have no idea of what is still called the driver. I also tried turning the phone off, remove the battery, put the battery back in and connect to the charger. With no luck. Help would be very appreciated: I hope someone can give me information to operate! Thank you in advance,

Julie

Hello

> Hey well thanks for all the answers, they came flooding in lol.
This forum is a user to s. That means you don t have a guarantee that you will get a response within a few hours. You must wait and you need a bit of luck ;)

In any case, I I'm happy to hear that you could solve your problem, but to be honest, the forum already contains 100 threads on this problem and the solution is always reinstall package of added value.

Good day! :)

  • Satellite L20-217 does not start

    Hello
    can anyone help?
    I have a Satellite L20-217 and it just stopped working on the other day.
    It was connected with the AC adapter, all of a sudden the message came on the screen saying my battery was low so less than a minute the whole machine has stopped working.
    I ve bought a new power supply and the s is still running is not on. I ve took out the battery for 2 minutes etc... and still nothing; West not sound and no lights.
    When the battery is in and the adapter is hollow area I still get nothing, but if I press the power button the left hand LED will blink for a few seconds then nothing again.
    I really need to get this working as I´am a tattooist and piercer hairdresser and there all my drawings etc. on it.

    Thx for any help

    You can start your laptop with AC power only (the battery is removed)? If so, start windows and after a few minutes, put the battery inside and post the result.

  • Re: Satellite U400: battery does not

    Hello

    just bought my Toshiba U400-10 x and when I start it up until he can find any battery and if I unplug the cable load he just died... What is the problem? Help, please!

    Hi mate

    I have a U400 too. I m very satisfied with this unit.
    It of small, but not too small. The power of the battery is OK. I can run for about 3 hours using the battery power. Of course, I use only some desktop applications, but that's what I want to have
    I hope that your laptop U400 will happen and you may be happy as I am.

  • Satellite U400-128 does not start after hibernation

    Hello

    I currently have problems with my Toshiba laptop. I use it for internet, games, multimedia, programming... Yesterday, when I went to bed, I close the lid that does the same thing as usual--went to hibernation. But today when I tried to start the following things Notepad occur:

    1. If battery is in and laptop is plugged into AC - Laptop starts but after 1-2 seconds it stops again
    2. If the battery is out and the laptop is plugged into AC - same thing
    3. If battery is in and laptop don't is NOT plugged AC - computer laptop starts but nothing is displayed on the screen (it's not far, it looks like even a wink or something). Strange thing is that I can't turn off the laptop and then pressing the power button / stop. The only way is to take out the battery.

    The lights seem to work - well they are the right things.

    THX in advance for any guy advice;).

    Hello!

    It's strange and looks like a hardware malfunction.

    In your case, I'll try to remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait up to an hour and then put in the battery again und plug in the AC adapter. Try it and maybe it works.

    In the worst cases, you must go to a local ASP and ask a technician for help laptop.

  • Satellite U400: webcam does not work with MSN - it is used by another prog

    My chicony webcam will not work on windows live messenger I want to use it for video chat.

    An error message appears saying 'we couldn't start your camera. Please check that your camera is not currently being used by another program, and then try again. "The camera is not currently in use, as far as I know I have closed camera assistant software and you have disabled the camera at startup.

    Please help with this problem!

    Also, I tried using a different logitech webcam, but the computer doesn't seem to recognize it even though I installed the software.

    Any advice?

    I U400 and I use the webcam in the Skype!
    Everything works perfectly.

    If you closed the camera assistant software then the webcam would not work without problems.
    Have you tried to start the webcam software, then MSN?
    Select this check box.

    I also disabled the webcam software in the msconfig-> Startup tab
    This prevents the webcam software to start during windows startup

    In the worst cases, you must remove the software from the webcam of the system and after restarting again, you must reinstall the software again
    Generally, this allows in most cases

    PS: Your operating system should be always up to date!

  • Re: Driver for Satellite A305-S6872 media control buttons?

    OK, so I just got this laptop Sunday.
    There the media control buttons, but they do not work.
    I read a few posts about this, saying that I need to download the driver control...
    Well, I spent hours last night looking for him. :\
    Anyone got the direct link to it?

    Hallo Kitsune

    Try reinstalling the value-added package. You can download it from the Toshiba support page. If you have laptop model please visit http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp

    Hallo Glead

    S manuals are described that this button is not for 2 functions, but only for one. For the MUTE to turn the lights. I have too many Satellite A300 and this button is how to turn off the LEDs only.
    Take a look at this symbol, and you will see that it is not pregnant but symbol of light.

    Compare with symbol on the ESC key and you will see that this is not the same.

  • Integrated on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work

    Hi all

    the built-in on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium and already reinstalled the drivers of webcam 64-bit through this Web site. However, when I click on the webcam application, simply, nothing happens - program doesn't open at all or turn off instantly. Skype is not also acknowledge a cam. In addition, there is no webcam in Device Manager (a not detected USB device however) and no symbol of cam in the Ribbon of Toshiba quicklaunch, which is like the camera is started according to the "manual".

    Someone has an idea what is the problem? Looks like a common problem according to Google, but no suggestions other than to reinstall the drivers. Perhaps another application blocking the camera? Firewall settings?

    I'd appreciate any help, thank you.

    Best regards Florian

    > a USB not detected if

    Maybe it's the webcam from the webcam is connected to the internal USB controller on the motherboard.

    It looks like a webcam driver is not installed correctly.
    Try the webcam driver released for the satellite t230 or other series of satellites.
    Versions are newer

    Also recommend that you check the BIOS settings.
    In some cases, the BIOS contains a webcam option where the webcam can be turned on and off.

  • Satellite C650 - Windows does not start correctly

    I have a Satellite C650, who does not start, when it lights there are two options, Startup Repair launch which leads to a black screen and mobile arrow, the screen remains like that until you turn it off the button stop (seriously ive left for about 10 hours). The other option is to start windows normally resulting in a blue screen and the laptop restarts itself.

    Help me please, make things worse I can't find the box that it came in which contains the guarantee and recovery disc

    Hey Buddy,

    You can start your laptop in safe mode? This means that if you press the F8 key before Windows starts and you choose Safe mode can you start Windows?

    If this isn't the case I think that it s something wrong with your Windows installation and that's why you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

  • Satellite Pro C660 does not illuminate

    Satellite Pro C660 does not illuminate. no noise, no light just fill out the dead.

    any suggestions?

    Hello

    On this virtual path, it is not possible to provide an accurate diagnosis. All you can do is to unplug the power plug, remove the battery and leave it for a while. Then press the power button and hold it for 15 or 20 seconds.
    After doing this connect the power running and try to start again.

    What happens when you do this?

  • Satellite M30X Pro does not charge on current alternative

    Hello. My satellite M30X pro does not load when it is connected to the adapter sector, I have had the laptop for about a year and a half now

    Is this problem likely to be due to the charger doesn't work does not correctly? I don't want to spend £60 for a new charger, namely the charger works fine, and it's actually something else no longer works correctly!

    Thank you

    Is it possible to use the laptop with the adapter?
    No AC lights?
    If yes then the AC adapter works fine.
    In this case, if the battery is not either of the malfunctions of the battery or the thing will not on the motherboard.
    But mostly the battery fails.

  • The product key on my Satellite Pro P300 does not work

    The product key on my Satellite Pro P300 does not work.
    I entered the key from the sticker on the back of the computer. What I am doing wrong?

    Hello

    Why use this product key?

    Firstly the Toshiba recovery image is already enabled and you don t need this key more activations.

    Second, it's an OEM key and it will not work with other versions of Vista!

  • Satellite A200-1BJ does not start

    Hello

    My Satellite A200-1BJ does not start. After turning on the button it starts only for 1 or 2 seconds (flashing light, work from HDD, fan work, display blank) and then it turns off automatically. Once it happened days before but I didn't have the time to solve it and over the next few days, he has not occurred. Now, I tried to launch it more than 20 times and it still won't start.

    I tried only with full battery and also only with the power adapter. I removed the HDD, RAM, keyboard, DVD, speakers, display and a few other connector under the keyboard and it still does not start and it shuts down after 1-2 seconds each time.

    In recent months he sometimes exploded due to overheating during work so I cleaned the dust inside.

    No problem with the motherboard or power?

    Thanks for help.

    Hmmm... on this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is. described behavior is the same as in cases when the BIOS is dead after failed BIOS update installation.

    Of course, it's mainboard problem but what exactly, it is not easy to say. For me, this looks like faulty BIOS.

    Have you installed any updates or anything that may be responsible for this?

  • Satellite A350 - Touchpad does not work, but an external mouse works

    Satellite A350 Touchpad does not work ok (unstable system and left button not loaded).

    I tried to make the driver but nothing. No problem drivers (conf system). I have the driver for the touchpad stroped and with an external mouse everything is working properly.

    What should I do? Don't you think it's hard or soft the problem. * The touchpad is NEVER worked.*

    Thank you, and sorry for my bad English. :-(

    Hello!

    The touchpad does appear in Device Manager or you have here yellow exclamation points?

    Like Akuma says you can enable or disable the touchpad with FN + F9 key combination.
    Did you check that?

    In the worst cases, you must go to an ASP. It seems to be a hardware malfunction, and this must be checked by a technician of the laptop. Here, you can search the nearest ASP:
