ThinkVantage button (s) do not work

Somehow, I lost the use of the blue "ThinkVantage" button on my R61i... also, if I click on the desktop icon it doesn't... another words, I don't have have the use of the ThinkVantage software/Productivity Center.  Y at - it somewhere that I can find on the Lenovo site to download?  Thanks in advance for your help.

I just fixed this myself this morning, after months of trying to get the blue button to work.

Here's what I suggest:

(1) see if you still have access to the rescue and recovery - by going "Thinkvantage" in the start menu > all programs menu.

(2) as appropriate, choose rescue and Recovery > recover to a previous back upward. It should show you the list of backups that are on your C drive. If you are lucky, you will have a backup that date from before the loss of functionality of your blue button.

This action took 10 minutes and revived my blue button.

If you do not have "thinkvantage" in your Start menu, you will probably need to download from the Lenovo site, then use the rescue and recovery. Download Thinkvantage re-enter the program for me, but does not solve the blue button.

I hope it works for you. I'm not a computer tech - just figured this out by myself, after trying everything I could think of.

  • Toshiba button Support do not work with VMware Workstation

    Hi all

    for all people having the same problem - * Support Button Toshiba do not work after the installation of VMware Workstation.*

    Short solution:
    After the installation of vmware workstation 6.x or 7 - the default setting is "Disable Autorun on the host". (you can find it in: Edit-> preferences-> devices). Release the hook and restart. After the reboot, the buttons should be working.

    The long version:
    Support Button Toshiba uses the Windows function "MobilePC" - > "Hotstart". HotStart only works when the autostart feature is not disabled (the value of registry key: + HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Po licies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun + has the value 0xFF). VMware is the default to disable Autorun of CD/DVD. Turn on the autorun, restart the Qosmio and Hotstart (and also Toshiba button support) works very well. That's the problem.

  • 5 button iPod home not working and locked.

    Hey, some time ago I came across a problem where my just stuck home button up one was insensitive. It wasn't a big deal since I had open contact. But now my iPod 5A locked again where it won't turn on, charge or get recognized I have iTunes and I am aware that the way to fix is to maintain the 'home' button and the screen lock button however the home button does not work so I can't do that.

    Should I try to fix the home button, or is there a way to alternitave that requires no home button?

    I tried to put a small drop of alcohol out of dirt which may cause the home button on the stick to friction.

    See my first answer to page 1 in this discussion.

  • All of a sudden my button mute does not work any ideas?

    All of a sudden, the mute button on the left side of the phone does not work. You can click the button back-and-forth, but you do not see the Bell showing that the phone is cut or not muted. As far as I know that I can no longer cut the phone.

    You can check that the mute works even if the icon is not displayed?

    cold you have restarted the phone yet?

  • HP Pavilion 15-e017tx - button Wireless does not work after bios update

    Hello

    I have the HP Pavilion 15-e017tx for the past 8 months.

    Press f12 to this machine is shared by the key wireless button, which was working fine until there was a BIOS update last week.

    Now I try to turn off the wireless using this button it will not respond (light orange).

    I checked the Device Manager, there seems to be a problem with the driver.

    IF you have knowledge of this problem please let me know.

    Thank you

    Hello:

    The update of the BIOS should affect the driver wireless button.

    I would recommend that you reinstall as the unknown device is probably the one.

  • Satellite M70: Command button keys do not work

    Currently I have reformatted my M70 to WinXp Pro Sp2, downloaded all the related TOSHIBA drivers and associated programs [IE. [Button control Toshiba driver / program] and the system's normal operation. However, the CONTROL BUTTON keys don't work, worked fine with XP Home edition and Win Media but when I called Toshiba support they could not help me because I had upgraded to Xp Pro. My Question is... Is there a fix or a solution to this problem and where I can download or find this fix.

    Thank you

    EMM

    Hello

    First of all, you should check your serial number because on the Toshiba driver page, you will find drivers for Satellite M70 PSM70 and PSM71.
    Secondly, it is very important that you need to install drivers in the correct order.
    On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the installation instructions.

    I also found a driver controls and controls on the page of the driver.
    I guess you have to install both applications. But if you follow the instructions everything works correctly.

  • Paved touchscreen and button right does not work on Satellite L300 with Vista

    My right button does not work.
    By clicking on the icon on the desktop, the drop down menu does not open and when you work in some programs (Indesign).
    In addition, sometimes the touchpad does not work.

    Reset is useful for a little bit.
    I have install the driver of Synatpics 11.2.4.0.
    Is there something else I can do besides sending it to be repaired.

    I just got this laptop 3 weeks ago and I hate Vista.

    Hello

    I put t think this could be a hardware problem.
    First of all, you should try to update the driver for the touchpad.

    First remove the touchpad driver in the system.
    Then, visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and download the latest touchpad driver and install it.

    PS: If you use an external mouse and that you have installed the mouse drivers/tools then this could also affect the functionality of the touchpad.

  • Satellite P50-B-103 - light around the power button / stop does not work

    I bought this laptop a few days ago, and early on, I noticed that the light around my power button does not work.

    so now I'm in dillema it back or not?

    Everything works well, but because of the price, I expected to work correctly.

    And what is perhaps the reason for this?

    TNX

    As far as I know that the power button or to be more precise, the margin around the power button should be lit / lighted.

    In my opinion its not serious problem but if there s a problem for you and you are not satisfied with that, I recommend you contact the dealer to replace the unit.

  • DV6 quick launch button mute does not work properly. He puts the speakers muted, but does not change color.

    Laptop quick launch mute my computer Pavilion dv6-1050us button does not work properly. He puts the speakers muted, but does not change color.  It's still orange, not mater if your speakers are on or off.   His other (white) State works because it is white to start windows, but then goes to orange and does not change when selected but by selecting the button speaker turn the speakers on and outside as it should.

    I've loaded and reinstalled the quick launch driver software (sp46731.exe), but the problem is still there.  The problem is about 2 weeks old.   Have not added any new software that I know.  But computer installs updates as received.

    Hello

    First download the audio driver by using the links below and save the installer to your desktop.

    Audio driver - Windows 7

    Audio driver - Windows Vista

    Once the download is complete, right-click on the Setup program and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation - ignore the warnings that you can see everything that is an earlier version.  Once the installation is complete, restart the laptop.

    Kind regards

  • MUTE button suddenly does not work

    I have a sl410 with windows 7 Home premium pre-installed and all the multimedia keys worked very well.

    After a few updates (driver lenovo and windows), mute my button does not work.

    Because I use Hibernate instead of shutdown that I can't say precisely what update caused this problem.

    A strange thing is that when I turn off the sound by the control of its use in the system tray, laptop mute button lights! But by pressing the button on the laptop has no effect.

    Lenovo update program says there is no update for me.

    Any suggestions?

    I solved the problem myself, but I don't know how!

    First of all, I used the recovery DVDs to restore windows. I saw "running windows for the first time" and all but the problem was still there. So I tried to downgrade my bios to 1.30 (it was 1.31) but I have found the bios file (thank God!).

    But after a few updates from Lenovo (power management, audio colleague and...) the problem was gone.

    Now everything works.

  • Qosmio X 870-14 M - mute button FN does not work

    Hello

    I have problem with mute button only, all other works very well. When I push button nothing happens. Funny is that when I close Wifi key first, the key works put on mute for a short time, but that the judgment.

    Please you have any idea how I can solve this problem.

    Hello

    Do you mean the Fn + F11 key combination?
    AFAIK the FN + F11 mutes the sound from the laptop

    Fn + F12 activates and disables the internal Wi - Fi and a Bluetooth module.

    Do you need to press the FN button to use the function key?
    You can configure the key operating mode by selecting the mode of special function or Standard F1 - F12. This would use the function keys with or without the extra FN key-press.

    I also recommend the application of the function of Toshiba key.
    You can find it in Desktop-> Desktop Assistant (in the task bar)-> utility tools & -> Toshiba function key
