The backlight on my keyboard stopped working

Hello. I had my laptop for less than a week and the backlight for my keyboard stopped working. I was not able to find something to help me with this... is a simple switch to turn it on and off, or am I missing something?

Thank you
Alan

I put t know which model of laptop you have and what operating system you use, but, in general you can use the FN + Z key combination to toggle the backlight on the keyboard.

Check it out.

If you are using Win7 open Toshiba Assist > Optimize > Toshiba hardware settings and you will find the keyboard backlight options.

If you use open Win8 Toshiba Desktop Help > function key and you will find the option for it.

Check it out.
After what model of laptop and operating system are you using.

  • USB mouse & keyboard stop working after the upgrade of Intel generic drivers drivers!

    Original Post: USB mouse & keyboard stop working after upgrade to generic drivers

    After you install Windows, the Generic USB controller drivers are installed. My mouse & keyboard as planned work & that are each recognized as "compatible mouse/keyboard HID."

    After I installed the Intel drivers for root USB controller, the mouse & keyboard stop working and are classified as unknown. Shortly after, they are considered HP USB Optical Mouse & HP USB Standard keyboard, however the drivers never properly install and they remain under unknown devices with a yellow exclamation point.

    I have searched high & low for these device drivers, they do not exist. I installed the drivers for all of the materials appearing on the site of the seller. This has happened on several computers, laptops and desktop computers.

    I've done all the troubleshooting I can think. Uninstalled all the controllers/USB hubs & restarted. Switched USB ports, I tried new mouse & keyboard, wanted Windows updates.

    The only way I can make it work is if I use the generic Windows drivers, who then recognized the mouse & KB "HID compliant". It seems that if I install Intel drivers, it recognizes the mouse & keyboard more in detail and he wants specific drivers to continue.

    Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.

  • Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working". It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error code just a constant circle. This has happened for days. I am running windows 7.

    Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working".  It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code.  This has happened for days.  I am running windows 7.

    I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.

    We will cover all the possibilities.

    1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:

    Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)

    IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    IMPORTANT! => Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed the steps #4, #5 and #6 below!

    4. right click on one of the files that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.

    Tips:

    -Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.

    -Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.

    -Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

  • Keyboard stops working after you press caps lock.

    On a compaq laptop presario CQ60-300SO the keyboard stops working after you press the caps lock button. The keyboard does not work once the computer starts, but after going in under the keyboard properties control panel and press the 'OK' button, this will work. Buy keyboard works when the computer RECORDS, so I can't get to BIOS. The keyboard work until windows starts and I activate it via the properties of the keyboard by opening the window and press OK immediately. I tried updating the driver but I only find that the keyboard already has the most recent drivers. I tried to restore the drivers and that does not work either. I also disabled start all programs and services to see if it was a problem caused by a program or service and still no luck. It's a very strange problem. I noticed that the keyboard IRQ ranges are both 64-64 and 60-60, which i thought was weird but that's maybe normal. Any advice will be appreciated.

  • USB mouse and keyboard stop working after I have install Windows Update KB2913431

    After installation automatic Windows Update KB2913431 (Win 7 Enterprise), the computer seems to work very well, but my mouse and keyboard stop working.  The option of automatic repair after that start with F8 does not work.  He said that the error is "unspecified".

    The fool is that it has created a constellation of intermittent problems when I try other options to get these devices to function after the update.  The questions I will of unpowered USB ports, grateful Windows and install the drivers for USB devices, but then do not recognize their (and are not), random BSOD, restore points invalid system, random boot failure, which causes discs to randomly stop working properly, closed randomly , à... I think you get the idea.

    I think it must be a driver problem.  I passed through the Device Manager and uninstall all hidden devices.  I have updated the drivers for everything that has an update available.  I tried to disable all, but Microsoft services at startup and in the list of "services".  I've always been unsuccessful; However, when I can get it to successfully restore to a point before the update (none of the automatic restore points work correctly) it seems ok.  It will sometimes seem to work after I applied the update, but then go haywire shortly after.  I am convinced that it is not a hardware problem, given that the prior update restores (when they actually cross without failure) work very well.

    I went through countless articles in the knowledge base and tried all the suggestions I've seen, other than registry cleaners because I had a bad experience with this earlier.  I tried so many things that I lost count and the memory of some of them.

    I reached point is never install the update (an option that I prefer not to use) or creating a clean Windows install on another drive (an option that I prefer not to use, but I'm a little more friendly to).  I already started to back up files to prepare a clean install, but I reach out one last time before I pull the trigger.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions you have!

  • laptop keyboard stopped working after Windows update.

    have a toshiba satellite A505 laptop and the keyboard stops working after Windows Update reboots. We reinstalled Windows 7, which fixed the problem until the updates have come. Now the keyboard is unresponsive. Sounds like a software problem, no material. Also checked the keyboard drivers that are up to date.

    As a first response, go to the control panel, device, keyboard, keyboard Manager and right click, uninstall it and let it rediscover Windows and then reinstall it.

    It suits it much of the time.

  • USB keyboard stops working

    I have a similar problem - USB keyboard stops working, although device manager says it's working properly. Sometimes have disconnected and reconnected it helps, sometimes not. Trackball USB stops working.  Sometimes the USB keyboard is also dead after hibernation.

    This is a new problem happened after I installed Windows 7.  (I am running XP before that.)

    I apologize for the late response. Thank you for any assistance.  Problem is solved!

    I don't have test Gerry Cornell suggestion to plug directly into the USB port, because this problem occurs during labor when I use the keyboard and the trackball with a hub (which is connected to one of the 2 USB ports in the back of the computer via an extension through a wall to the computer cable - I access the computer in 2 different rooms). But he suggested a possible solution. I bought an inexpensive motor hub, and the problem has stopped completely.  It has not occurred during the months spent at all.

    Although this problem of keyboard disappears permanently started immediately after the transition from XP to Win7, there is a hardware solution.  My guess is that with the extension and a hub not powered, there were seeds of signal, and the XP driver was better at handling what driver Win7.

    BTW, the XP to Win7 upgrade has been done by installing (but does not) Vista and then install Win7 on that, as advised by Darek emulators.com.  WinXP ran SoftMac pretty badly but Win7 it runs like a champ. OS 8.1 boots in 10 seconds approximately.

  • Keyboard stopped working after update

    Hello :)

    I've just updated my computer after the delay for some time now. Keyboard I know right - because the work volume buttons, but everything else (letters, numbers, etc.) have failed. I tried troubleshooting to solve the problem, but it was a bust.    Initially, I had windows 8 so I feel that this should not be a problem.

    Thanks for the help!

    Not that I can think of, I've never seen a keyboard stop working in this way.  If I were you, I'll try:

    • Put the keyboard in another computer
    • Try a different USB port on the plug
    • Try another keyboard
    • Use the on-screen keyboard to run the RSTRUI command and restore before the problem started happening
