Update BIOS on Satellite A300 disabled the touchpad in WinXP

Hey

I just installed XP on my A300, the installation went well, until I updated the BIOS to to 1.7. After that, the touchpad is irrespeonsive, which means that it is displayed in the Device Manager, but does not.

I tried the Fn + F9 key and after a long driver Hunt, I decided to re - install Windows XP, to locate where the problem was.

I also tried resetting the BIOS by default, but once again, without a bit of luck.

The touchpad still does not work.

Is there a possibility to downgrade the BIOS?

Hello Johan

Can you please tell me what Satellite A300 you exactly (A300-xxx)?
What model is your laptop?
Almost all cell phones of the A300 are WXP supported and I can not imagine that the update of the BIOS can kill touchpad. It's very strange.

    Hello

    Toshiba offers updates BIOS to WIN. This means that the BIOS update can be done under Windows operating system only. You can't do this if you use Linux.

    Is there a reason to update BIOS? I mean, if everything is OK you must not update BIOS to the latest version.

  • Updating BIOS for Satellite A300/600

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A300/600 (PSAG4A - 02600M), that I just installed W7 x 64 on (I did a clean install). I am upgrading the drivers according to the Web from Toshiba website. I noticed there is an upgrade of the BIOS to version 1.8 - I am running version 1.5.

    I downloaded the update, but when I try to launch it I get the following message: "C:\Users\HELIF~1\AppData\Local\Temp\isc6632tmp\\i nsydeflash.exe could not be executed."

    The PC is running fine at the moment, no major flaws - V1.8 do I need? If so, how do I correct this situation?

    Other flaws in the process of upgrading for me so far have been:

    Whenever I pressed the button mute W7 UAC has popped up to ask me if I wanted to allow the program to Toshiba setting system. Corrected this problem by moving the file ButtonSetting.ini and by editing the registry.

    Support Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I inserted my card from my camera, W7 XD he recognized very well, but WLPG could not see. That's why I cannot import my pictures off the card. Well, I can do through W7 but WLPG gives you options to fine-tune the importation of the process which is what I'm after. Tried to uninstall/reinstall WLPG after I had installed all the drivers from Toshiba, but it still does not recognize. One more question.

    Finally, regarding WLPG, I can't download Image Composite Editor, everytime I try the link to the download (ftp or html), Firefox just displays a blank page with "waiting for research.microsoft.com. Try to find another site to download it off the coast but no luck so far.

    That's all so far, any help would be appreciated.

    Post edited by: helifella - added another question...

    No you don't need it. If your laptop works well don't change anything.
    I can't say for sure, but maybe this update of the BIOS works under 32 bit OS only.

    I have European Satellite A300 and I still have the original BIOS although I use Win7 and last orders for it.
    My advice to you is: do not touch the well-executed system.

    Unfortunately with WLPG I can't help you much. It's Microsoft.

  • Satellite A300-20 b - Touchpad does not work after BIOS update

    I've updated the BIOS on my Satellite A300-20 b latest version 2.00. Update succeeded, but when I rebooted system touchpad has stopped working.

    I tried to find the solution, resettled drivers (windows XP system). In the Windows Device Manager there is no problem with Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad, I see. Software Synaptics shows no problem I can enable and disable the touchpad, but it does not work for the touchpad. I tried Linux live CD and in this system does not work as good touchpad. I think there is problem in this version of the BIOS.

    Does anyone have the same problem?

    Hey Buddy,

    Have you tried to turn the touchpad on or off if you press FN + F9? Check this please!
    Also, try to load the default settings in the BIOS.

    What happens if you connect an external mouse to the laptop? It work?

    I can t imagine that the BIOS update causing this problem. If it doesn't work, you need to contact a service provider for help. They can check the touchpad and replace.

  • Satellite A305-S6829 I would like to disable the touchpad

    I recently updated my laptop A305-S6829 of Windows Vista to Windows 7. I use a laptop mouse and I want to disable the touchpad.

    Unfortunately, the touchpad does not appear on my device manager and FN + F9 does not work either.

    Please help me. Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all; It is a model of laptop series Toshiba us.
    Usually, it takes use drivers from this page:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    But it seems that Win 7 drivers are not published on this page for Satellite A305-S6829
    That's why I think that you could choose the page European driver of Toshiba touchpad drivers. Here you can choose the A305 or A300 series.
    I think you could also choose other touchpad Win 7 drivers to the most recent series of laptop.
    Please install the drivers for the touchpad and check if the FN + F9 key would work.

    Note! If no FN key doesn't work, you need to install VAP (value added package) and Support of Flash Card Utility

  • Touchpad no longer works after update BIOS on Satellite A500-1GL

    Hello world

    I just bought my laptop Satellite A500-1GL today. I started at the top and plays a bit (nothing serious). The touchpad worked very well at the moment.

    Then I discovered this tool to update the material and the update of the BIOS that worked without any problems. After I restarted the laptop, BIOS, loaded the default values of the installation and recorded.
    After that Windows 7 (x 64) started the touchpad no longer works...

    I downloaded the driver here and installed again once, still does not. I went into the BIOS, disabled the touchpad (I thought that maybe it's a bug...) and started again. It still does not...

    I enabled it again in the BIOS, tried to push the function + F9, but it still does not... Finally, I used the recovery and installed a Windows 7 costs.
    But unfortunately it still doesn't.

    Now, I'm out of ideas, can anyone help?
    Is there a chance to get the older version of BIOS to downgrade it?

    Thanks in advance ;)

    Hello

    It seems strange that after update Bios touchpad no longer works.

    > Is there a chance to get the older version of BIOS to downgrade it?

    To be honest, I don't know where to find. In any case, do a search on Google. Perhaps, other users of the forum can give you a link to download.
    The downgrade of the Bios is riskier upgrade procedure. So, be careful the next time...
    Advice for the future; Do not touch the running system.

    Good luck!

  • No way to disable the touchpad on my Satellite Pro L500

  • No way to disable the touchpad on Satellite L450D - 11 X

    I had my laptop Satellite L450D - 11 X, pre-installed with Windows 7 64-bit, since November and that you come to learn about the function key to turn off the touchpad - a very desirable feature. Unfortunately, pressing the combination of keys Fn + F9 does not work. There is a question answered - now closed - in this forum that advises to restore the laptop to its original configuration to address this problem, which I guess means running a HARD drive recovery procedure and restore the application software - not a trivial task. I took a chance and downloaded and installed the driver for the TouchPad Synaptics Windows 7 x 64. He has a facility to disable the touchpad in the mouse properties window, that works.

    I became aware of the ability to disable the touchpad keys during the installation of new Acer laptop from a friend, who has a button next to the touchpad to market. Come the day where all laptop has such a change a lot of laptop users will be happy, judging by the number of people, I fell on the web looking for a way to disable the touchpad keys, especially when entering.

    I would prefer if the L450D key combination worked, however. Does anyone know how to do this without a HARD drive recovery? Some of my other function keys are also "broken." Not vital, but I don't hate things that don't work as specified.

    What you need to do is to reinstall the package of added value. You can find it on the download page of Toshiba. This package contains several tools and one of them is utility (command buttons FN) flash cards. Remove VAP preinstalled system, restart your computer and install the latest version of the Toshiba support page.

    To say, this little button is also available on some models of Toshiba. If I remember well, it must be available on A500 and U500. Maybe also on some other new models of laptops.

  • Satellite A205 Vista - FN + F9 never worked to disable the touchpad

    I have a Satellite A205 running Vista. FN + F9 key never worked to disable the touchpad.

    I read that there is an option to disable the touchpad when a mouse is connected to a USB port. I don't seem to have that option.
    I have to go in Control Panel to turn entirely which is kind of a pain.

    I use a mouse Laser Bluetooth MS so there is no mouse plugged into a USB port, only the Bluetooth dongle.

    Does anyone know of an easier way to do this?

    Maybe you should check the page of the Toshiba driver we and must download and install the utility of Toshiba touchpad on / off.

    What's going on and how do I disable the touchpad?

    You do not need to disable the touchpad in Device Manager.
    Either you use the combination of keys FN Fn + F9 to turn off the touchpad or you will do this in Control Panel.

    You can find the option in the control panel-> mouse-> last tab (device settings)
    It you should check the options such as properties or settings I'm not quite sure how it would be called in your case m
