T61: cover and non-functioning lights switch problem

My T61 (type 6465) is coming for three years and has recently developed some minor but annoying flaws. The main problem is that the most reliable laptop will remain suspended: closing the lid does not have to be suspended in the first place and if I use Fn + F4 to suspend, it seems that clutching the back edge of the laptop (that you could do to pick it up and put it in a bag) cause him back on the suspension. Accordingly, I found the cell phone on when you remove it from my backpack, even if I was sure that I had hung before storing.

The other symptoms, is that some of the green lights have stopped working. Namely, the green lights of power, battery, caps lock num and caps lock seem to have stopped running, but wireless, hard drive and activity to suspend lights continues to work. In addition, the orange battery light works very well.

Other that the system continues to work perfectly: the battery is still good and maintain the load, the power supply charges the battery and powers the system properly. Power management applications show the correct information about the power status of the system (i.e. on current AC or battery-operated).

I try to work if this is likely to be a hardware failure or a software problem initially. Has anyone seem to similar symptoms, or may suggest that the problem could be based on my description?

See you soon,.

-Mark.

non-functioning lights is most likely a hardware problem.

    Hello

    Have you installed the right graphics card driver?
    The Sat A300-1GN belongs to the PSAGCE series.
    I checked the page of the Toshiba driver and there are two pilots;
    I think that you should choose the ATI driver 8.477 display because this driver supports the Mobility Radeon HD 34xx/36xx chips.

    Other base system devices could be Bridge Media slot (for SD cards), touchpad, HDMI Control Manager.

    I didn't find these drivers 64-bit on Toshiba page. Maybe you should choose some drivers for Vista 32 bit

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Resolve software configuration issues is not easy sometimes, even if I was sitting in front of your computer. In addition, while it was under warranty and sent it with a software problem, they would simply recreate the image on your hard drive, they would not in fact difficulty of the corrupted files, or bad configuration settings. Retail repair shops even most don't make it so much easier to reload everything.

    If you want to track it down, then it will require a lot of learning. I suggested to do a factory reset because you said that you just got this laptop, and do the reset should clear errors of software, so everything that doesn't work would probably material.

    I would consider to do, you can always reinstall your programs, and as it is now, you don't know what has been done for her in the past that has caused all this.

    With respect to the printer, I still think that it is only a matter of installing it, and I think that the problem of sype is not related to your computer at all, perhaps a technical problem on their end, but I could be wrong.

    Yes: Do not use a switch statement to control this. It is clearly a sequential process, so force the user to enter the values first, and then ask them what they want to do with them.

    I would also break this process in steps to methods, but this has more to do with style.

  • Tecra A8 downgraded XP and none of the Toshiba Utilities works

    Hi all

    I just got a new Tecra A8 - it is downgraded to XP, and none of the Toshiba Utilities work (energy saving function keeys, keyboard shortcuts, etc.). When I try to reinstall - there is always an error message (missing dll or sth similar) - I tried to update the bios - couldn't - once again a missing file!

    any ideas how to solve this problem? at least the fn keys (fn key works - I see a light come on when I press - not the functions well!)

    your help, I much appreciated!

    see you soon,

    Dimitris

    Hi Dimitris

    May I ask you what Tecra A8?
    I visited the Toshiba driver page and it seems that Toshiba provide XP drivers for two different units A8 PTA83Eand PTA82E.

    You should be 100% sure that you are using the correct drivers!
    In addition, Toshiba released the Installation Instructions of the document on the page and to my knowledge it s necessary and important to follow this line of installation guide. The proper installation order is necessary!

    So take care and check again

  • ID/faces of the people in the Sierra pictures, pulling up the non-functional names

    Someone knows how to fix this? Is it a new setting I'm missing? I've already sent feedback to Apple.

    Photos, when I come across a photo of a person without a name, I can click on the field "no name" and a list of names appears. In the Sierra, however, the list includes names of new non-functional based on the e-mail addresses that are causing problems with my library.

    For example, if I type my name, I see three suggestions:

    1. my full name, with the thumbnail associated with my Photos 'face '.

    2. my full name with my email from Apple below address and the photo of my Contacts entry

    3. my full name with a secondary e-mail, which I have also listed in Contacts, with no tile

    If I take 1, everything works as usual.

    If I take 2 or 3, Photos makes a new person with just my name. It does not automatically fill in the rest of my name. I find myself with two entrances of the person, one with my full name and one with my name. I then merge these. This happens with all the people, not just me.

    I have the same problem. When I want to manually add a face without a name/person, I get very often 2 proposals:

    (1) the person sought with the profile photo, the first name and family name. If a picture is displayed, this means that I have already assigned photos to this person.

    (2) the same person, with or without a profile picture, with name, surname and e-mail. This proposal seems to come from my contacts, because it shows the same profile photo and mail the address I have for this person in my contacts.

    If I add the photo to the contact person, the person is added as a person in Photos. But with only the name, not the name, which is a little ridiculous, especially when you are systematically adding people and having many with the same name.

    I merge the two to get back 1 "individual" in photos, with first and last name (first and last).

    So somehow Photos is not capable of matching 'people' in photos to anyone in my contacts list. Even when you merged the two and said Photos this way they need to be put in correspondence.

  • Light (switch) on my screen does not turn off. I have to shut my computer down several times a day to turn off the monitor.

    Light (switch) on my screen does not turn off.  So, I shut down my computer and restart several times a day, because when I put it in mode 'sleep', he wakes to the top in a few minutes and will not fall asleep.  I could put a blanket on my screen when not in use, but I'd rather find a way to make it stay asleep when I tell him.

    Light (switch) had already done once before and I was so worried that once I turned off the monitor that I would never get it new on... a bit short of money here, to buy a new monitor, but the next day, I pressed the power button with an additional downward pressure and I could so he could start working again (able to turn the market monitor).  It was about 3 weeks ago.  Now, the light stays green, unless I stop the whole computer.

    Maybe my main problem is sleep mode, which removes the screen for like 2 minutes and then he wakes up to the top and is so rude when I myself and try to sleep, I just turn off the monitor everytime I put the computer to sleep.

    Now, I can't turn off the monitor, except by turning off the computer.
