Satellite L300-147- Manual volume control not working

The manual volume control on the laptop is no longer working. If I try to adjust the volume (on the right the headphone plug-ins)- I just keep scrolling. As a result, I can only watch DVD on a really low volume level. I have adjusted volume control under "control panel" to the maximum level.
Any ideas to fix this please?

Hello
> The scroll for volume control on the laptop keeps scrolling on empty (it can't reach the end)
Believe me buddy, this is absolutely normal.
I have Satellite L300 too and I can still scroll the volume control although the sound is on lowest level (I can see this in Windows sound properties).
To be honest I didnt have any notebook as yet where the volume control ends on a certain point.

Satellite L300 - 'W' and 'F' Keys not working - can't log

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300.
My 'F' and 'w' keys arent working, and because I have a Built-in HDD user password of which contains those letters, I can not start up my computer.
I had a 'startup' problem a couple of months back, and what I had to do was restore my laptop to a previous date. I did this through Boot management during startup. The only thing is I cant remember how to do it now.
I cant find any restoration disks that may have come with my laptop- so the only way I can do it is through boot management.
So, how do you do a system restore? or is there another way of fixing this problem?.
Please help!! :)

Hello
If W and F key dont work I would recommend replacing the keyboard or use an external one. In my opinion its the best choice because you also need the keys for typing letters or emails
You can get a new keyboard from an authorized service provider in your country.
> I cant find any restoration disks that may have come with my laptop
I think you should read the user manual because you have to create this disk yourself ;)

Satellite L300 1BD - VGA output is not working

Hello.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 1BD (Model PSLB8E). I was usinng the VGA output to connect to my LG tv. It worked fine until last week. All of a sudden the TV doesn't get reckognized by the laptop anymore. The TV says that no external device is connected. I have tried different things: starting up with the TV connected and not connected through the VGA cable, pressing the FN+F5 button, removing the battery and pressing the powerbutton, checked for the latest videodriver, removed the existing driver and installed it again...unfortunately without any result. I also tried to hook the TV up with a different VGA cable, but no result. It's not the TV, because i did try to hook the laptop up to a TFT monitor and it didn't work as well. Tested the VGA cable with my friends laptop: it works perfect.
The strange thing is: if i hook the TV up to the laptop, i can hear the laptop is making the 'new hardware detected' sound and the laptopscreen even turns black for a second, then everything appears back on the laptopscreen. If i check the graphic properties with the rightclick on my desktop, i can see that they are no set for 'clone device'. As if the laptop knows, something is connected, but just can't transfer the image to the TV screen.
The graphic adapter is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset family.
The OS is Vista Home Basic (32).
It's a shame the VGA output seems to be out of order since i watch tons of video's and movies through my laptop on the TV screen. I don't know if this could be a software or a hardware malfunction. If anyone has an idea or some clue, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I would like to give my 2 cents to this post (and the answers from Toshiba):

I have exactly the same L300 19F with the same graphic adapter, only with Windows 7 Ultimate (32) and was watching DVD's through my Toshiba TFT TV-set/VGA Monitor for a couple of years as well as all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. The same as the gentleman who started this thread I checked everything there is to check: my laptop/another screen, another laptop/my screen, drivers, new cable, even installed the (original and licensed) W7 OS again etc. etc. etc. TO NO AVAIL !!!
Since this is the first time that I can't solve a technical computer problem in more then 25 years I got mad and started to think what the heck I did different over the last few weeks, and now I think I know the culprit.
One day, a few months ago, I saw a warning in my screen to flash my BIOS with a new upgrade from the Toshiba website. Having seen that message for several months I did not give it much attention because everything worked fine, and the reason given for the update was a quote "password protection update" unquote, a function I don't use anyway and that's why I didn't run that fast.
After a while I decided to flash the BIOS, just to get rid of the annoying message and now I am quite sure that it really did kill my VGA output capabilities.
So, instead of the nice "Check your Power Cord" and "Go to the Official Toshiba Dealership" hints, maybe there is some technical solution. Maybe there might even be a nice technical Toshiba person have a look into the BIOS update and what the heck the differences are with the old one.
At the very least you could offer a "downdate" of the current valid BIOS for this type, because everything used to work pretty good and, as a 25 year long time customer of Toshiba laptops, I could be entitled to a little better (quality) answer.......
My friend Marcinondrums and I still have hopes.
Thank you !!

DV9700 Volume Controls not working after motherboard replacement

I have a HP Pavilion DV9702ea, which I've had for just over two years now. It worked absolutely fine for me in every way since I got it until about one month ago when I installed some software that required me to restart Windows. The laptop shutdown but did not restart. I tried to switch it back on but it would not work - when I pressed the power button the power light would blink for perhaps half a second but that was it. After some internet searching I ascertained that this is a symptom of a common problem with these laptops and that it suggested that the GPU had failed, which meant I needed a new laptop.
So I ordered a new laptop using the model number shown on the sticker near the RAM ports. It arrived and I installed it. Now my laptop is fully working again - all except for the volume controls. On the control panel above the keyboard, all of the QuickPlay keys (Q, DVD, previous, Play/Pause, next and stop) are illuminated but the volume control keys (mute, - and +) are not. I have Windows Vista installed with the correct audio driver and it does not respond to me pressing these keys, so it's not just that they're not lit up, they're not working at all.
I've tried everything that I can think of to fix this - as far as I'm concerned it should not be a software issue, because these keys are supposed to be illuminated from power-on, so even without a hard drive or an operating system installed these keys should be lit up. Nevertheless I've tried making sure all the audio, QuickPlay, QuickLaunch and QuickTouch drivers are up to date and have tried alternate drivers for all of them. I've checked the cable leading from the motherboard to the controls - it appears to be intact, but I even ordered a replacement just in case and that has made no difference. I've extensively Googled the problem and the most promising fix that I could find (that is repeated on these forums several times) was to power off the laptop, remove the mains adapter and battery, hold the power button down for 30 seconds to discharge any static and then power on again. I've tried that a few times and it has not fixed the problem in my case.
So I'm at a loss now. My last resort will be to return the motherboard for a replacement, but that will obviously be a lot of hassle for me as I'll have to strip down the laptop to remove it and I'll be without a working laptop for a day or so. And then, if it's not a motherboard fault, I'll have put a lot of effort into not getting anywhere. So is there anything else I should try?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I have this issue before, in my case, its ribbon cable issue. dv9000 have two ribbon cables the one that have broken is the long one, (connect mobo to switch panel). However there is other possibility that the switch panel also broken.
Try buying the ribbon cable first, it is much cheaper compared to switch panel.

Volume control not working after I plug in speakers or headphones

When I turn on my 13 inch with Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or if I restart it, my volume works perfectly. However, whenever I plug in earphones or speakers the volume will be 'stuck' on the loudest it can go. When I use the volume controls on my keyboard or the slider at the top menu bar, it will make the clicking sound as if the volume is going up or down and will show the white speaker with the volume being adjusted but the volume will stay on the loudest possible setting. Even after I unplug my speakers/headphones the volume will continue to not work. There is no red light coming from the headphone jack and since it works upon startup, I'm inclined to think it's a software issue and not a hardware issue but then again, I don't know the first thing about computers. Since this has started, I've looked online for similar problems or suggestions but nobody has had this exact same issue, but I did follow the suggestions for similar issues. I repaired the disk (I could only do it for the Macintosh but I am running bootcamp with windows on the other side but I've used it maybe once for a pc only program and have never run the internet on it so I doubt the problem is coming from that side). It repaired a bunch of stuff but it didn't fix my issue. I also reset the PRAM and the NVRAM (I don't know what this does, but someone suggested it so I gave it a shot) and it did nothing. If you have a suggestion for something I can do, please be detailed, or point me to detailed instructions because my computer knowledge is very limited but I'm willing to work to fix this. Thank you!

Volume control not working when speakers/headphones plugged in.

When my external speakers or headphones are plugged into the back of my iMac, the volume control won't work. A "no sound" icon appears and the volume slider will not move. When I unplug speakers or headphones everything goes back to normal. All updates are current. My "Audio MIDI Setup" says, "Audio Output....Output Not Supported." Repairing disc permissions was run too. Any ideas?

Hi Paul
*First off:*
Open System Preferences > Sound and select the Output tab. Now plug in your external speakers or headphones, do you see the Device Name change from Internal Speakers to Headphones?
*If nothing:*
Then try another Account, preferably your Admin. Account if your logged into another.
*Still nothing:*
Check the settings in other third party Audio programs you may have installed?
*If still nothing:*

My HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6 touch-operated volume control not working

I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv6 and I was trying to use the volume control to turn up the volume but it isn't recognizing my touch, in other words, when I touch the volume control the volume isn't adjusting. I have to manually do it by clicking the right hand corner volume control and adjusting it that way.
What is wrong? The rest of the laptop is working fine.
Thanks for any help you can lend my way!

Could you please give me the exact product number for your computer?

Volume control not working , which database controls volume?

I have read this solution elsehwhere, but I came to the blackberry forums to see if you guys can help me up with this question.

Here was my workaround to get the media player volume back up to 50% (not 100%, but it's a heck of a lot better than zero):
1. Launch desktop manager
2. Synchronize with Outlook
3. Backup everything to a new database (not really needed, but just a precaution)
4. Restore old database (before volume got stuck at 0%)
5. Change synchronization conflict resolution options so that Outlook wins
6. Synchronize with Outlook
7. Change synchronization conflict resolution option back to "ask me what to do"
Voila. Now my media player volume is back to 50%, which is where it was when I did the last backup before accidentally ratcheting it down to 0%.
Whenever I restore a database, it always loses my Internet Browser. To get it back, go under Options / Advanced Options / Host Routing Table / Menu Key / Register Now / Ok. Unfortunately, I'm back to all the old bookmarks as they were in the old database, but I can always re-do those changes.
[quote]
Okay I Could restore an old database where the volume was at 50%, but the Desktop Media Manager also has an option to restore specific options that were previously backed up .
SO my question is, does anyone know what specific database controls the volume control? SO I won't have to do a FULL Database restore?
Thank You :smile:

Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

Wireless Keyboard Volume control not working

Hi all
recently got a new Envy Phonext 800 050, came with a wireless keyboard and mouse, both of which work fine apart from the volume controls on the keyboard and I cant seem to find software/drivers for them that run under windows 8 ? any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi capnchuck,
Thanks for the quick reply. I would like you to check out Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Troubleshooting it has some troubleshooting steps we can try first. You may be required to download the drivers for your specific keyboard can give me the name of your keyboard example: HP Wireless Elite Desktop Keyboard, HP Wireless Entertainment Keyboard etc.. so that I can narrow down the keyboards that are coming up with that product number. Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,

Iphone 4s side volume control not working

Hi,
I own iPhone4s and off late the side volume control keys have stopped responding. I am unable to change the volume using those keys (Option to change the volume using keys under settings tab in on). When I press them a notification flashes on the screen for ringer showing no bars. I miss any calls/messages/alerts due to this. I tried cleaning the charging port as suggested in other posts, but the problem still persists. Sometimes those keys start working automatically and at other times, they don't. It seems more of a software problem since I am able to click photos using those buttons. Please help.

Hello KookieMonsta187,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like there is a problem with the headset. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
If your headset isn't working - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Function keys (i.e., volume control) not working.

I just noticed that none of my function keys (i.e., volume control) appear to be working. I have an Apple wireless keyboard. It is correctly paired.
I tried a PRAM reset, which did nothing.

System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard - make sure the top box isn't checked.

Satellite L300-1bd LCD backlight does not work properly

Hi,
A few days ago, the backlight of my l300 stopped to function properly.
I have tried turning it on a few times, and sometimes it briefly lights up and then goes off again.
Any idea's on what my next move should be?
I called a repairshop, and the guy i spoke to told me they would charge 50 euro's just to open it and that he was afraid he might have te put a new lcd screen in which would cost me another 150 euro's. I cannot afford this, nor do i think it would be a smart move to do a 200 euro repair on this notebook..
now because the backlight went briefly on and then off, i am kind of hopeing the cable that connects the screen to the computer might be broken/not plugged in properly. I found a repair manual which makes me think i can change it myself, but: is there a way i can make sure what the defect is before trying to plug in a new cable? what kind of cable do i need, and where can i get this?
hope you guys can help me out!

Either its just a FL inverter issue or the display fault
The FL inverter controls the display backlight and therefore I think its FL inverter.
This is a small part hidden behind the plastic display frame.
I dont know ho much is it but its not very expensive like display itself.
