Ubuntu Jaunty on Satellite A60 (PSA60E) - Fn keys and brightness do not work

Hello, I am unable to use the Fn keys on my laptop, probably due to acpi problems (while the initialization of the system tells me "not connected to IO-APIC timer").
I should update my bios (currently I have ' acpi bios v1.70 ") or what?

Thank you very much!

Hello

I doubt that the update of the BIOS might help, but of course, you could try updating the BIOS.
On the European driver Toshiba page I found version 1.90
He placed in the Archive s (product type choose Archive)

But I think you will need go to windows OS in order to update the BIOS because it s only executable for Windows OS.

In addition, please note that the FN buttons must Hotkey Utility is a tool of Toshiba but it s only for Windows operating system there are no tools for Linux so I doubt you could get these keys running Linux

  • Satellite A60-772: SD - R6112 DVD - RW is not working properly

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite A60 772 in September of last year. His Player DVD - RW SD - R6112 worked well upward until March 2005, some time; However, I only used to burn CD - R and CD - RW. Then all about March, I used it maybe twice to burn on DVD - RW using the RecordNow! supplied software.

    There is no problem - so - but shortly after the player refuses to detect even the CD - RW and DVD - RW. I can now use only of the CD - R with it (have not checked with DVD-R). Since then, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and even reinstalled once the operating system (e.g. Windows XP Home Edition). I also updated the BIOS about a month ago. Still nothing.

    -Someone - had a similar problem? And if you also have an idea how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    If there is the same situation after the recovery process, I assume that there is some malfunction of the equipment. All that you have done is just. I think the warranty is still valid and the best solution is to contact the Service of your country partner and let check the drive.

    Maybe the reader must be exchanged.

  • Unwanted search pane in Word (Windows7, Office 2007), keyboard and then acting weird, unpredictable, F1 key and then does not work. Office 2003 has been removed before installing Office 2007 and Word 2007 seemed ok before that.

    Please note that there is no such thing as a word "Windows 7".
    document ". You're talking about Word 2007 (part of Office 2007) and
    It has nothing to do with Windows 7. Yes, it runs under Windows 7,
    but it can also under other versions of Windows. Word is a
    art of the operating system.

    Ask a question about word in a Windows 7 forum. You are
    much more likely to get the help you're looking for, if you ask
    in a word (or newsgroup) forum since it is the place where the Word experts
    Hang.

  • Satellite L500 / 01 K - Fn (F6 & F7) do not work

    Hello

    Just bought Satellite L500 / 01 K upgraded to Windows 7 (32 bit).
    Only the key Fn (F6 F7) do not work.

    Tried to uninstall Toshiba and PVAT flashcards support utility and reintall them, restart the computer and still does not work.
    The utility of Toshiba ECO mode also do not work, but I think it's maybe because it is impossible to adjust the brightness of the screen.

    Could someone help with this. Thank you

    Hi, WML,.

    This means that all the FN buttons work without adjusting screen brightness FN key?

    It would be interesting to know which of PVAT versions and Flash Cards Support utility you used to reinstall it. On Windows 7, you need the latest versions as I know, the two should be released for Windows 7.
    Check this box!

    If you reinstall the applications, first remove all older versions. Restart your computer, and then install PVAT first. After a reboot, you can install the Flash Cards Support utility and all the FN buttons should start working.

    Last but not least utilitarian ECO mode should also be reinstalled. ;)

    Hello

    You should try to remove the devices that they are marked with a yellow exclamation point. Start Notepad, and then install the latest drivers from the Toshiba site.

    If the virus has destroyed an important system files that it s is no longer possible to install a driver and you need to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Did you create the Toshiba Recovery disk? You can do this with the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop. Maybe you are able to do this at the moment.
    In addition, you reinstall Windows using the recovery of HARD drive option. So go to the advanced boot menu and select Repair my computer. Some Windows files will be loaded and then you can choose the Toshiba Recovery option and follow the instructions on the screen.

    If you can t create the recovery disk, you must order a new Toshiba directly:

  • Satellite P200 - Product Recovery Disk 2/2 does not work

    Hello

    because my laptop (Satellite P200 - I bought in December 2007) does not work more properly - and when, after a lot of cleaning it still wasn't working properly - I decided to start from the beginning and restore the operating system with 2 product recovery cd / dvd.

    Recovery disk 1/2 worked well - Windows Vista Home Premium product is loaded again on my computer.

    But what abot * Disck2/2 product recovery? *
    At one point, the recovery program calls for a 'supplement' but when I put in the product recovery disc 2/2 at this time, that the program does not recognize the disc. During the rest of the recovery program the program didn't ask for Product Recovery Disk 2/2, so the content of this CD-ROM/dvd now is not loaded on my laptop.

    Someone had this problem too?
    What do you have on this?
    Is this a problem for not loading the content of the product recovery disc 2/2 (I can go without it?)?

    Thanks in advance for any response!

    Hello

    > Products 1/2 worked well - Windows Vista Home Premium recovery disc is loaded again on my computer.

    I put t know which modules the tool called for, but AFAIK the Toshiba image contains the operating system Vista, Toshiba drivers and additional software.
    So if you've recovered the laptop using the recovery disk Toshiba 1 then the laptop must be set to the SAME State as at the first day of the purchase.

    PS: what files you can find on the second disk?

    You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.

    If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.

    It is possible to download Vista - see here for more details - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/57-windows-vista-direct-download-links -, but note that it is not a simple process!
