Toshiba Satellite A665-S6055 audio issues.

A few hours ago I noticed my volume controls seemed to have a mind of their own. The volume bar would go all the way down to zero, and noticed the system control panel volume buttons (above the keyboard, not the same model but you get the idea) would light up on their own. Volume Up, Down, and Mute were lighting up and messing with the volume. It was as if someone was pressing them. Thinking it may be a virus of some sort, I ran Avast and Malwarebytes but both returned nothing.
I then thought the system control buttons were bugging out, and decided to uninstall the TOSHIBA Value Added Package, which I thought would remove the functionality of said buttons. However upon restart the problem has only gotten worse. Now the Play/Pause button is lighting up randomly. According to the control panel the Value Added Package was indeed removed, and I have not reintalled the latest version of it yet.
Any suggestions? My sound is essentially ruined.
edit: I tried restoring the system to a few days ago but it didn't help. After the restart yet ANOTHER button from the system control panel has started randomly lighting up. I'm starting to think this isn't an audio issue, but an issue with the system control panel buttons. I will reinstall the TVAP using this download and update this post with the results.
edit: Reinstalling TVAP did not solve the issue. The issue has actually escalated quite dramatically. Even more buttons are being accessed now, including the wi-fi button. I'm literally unable to access this website on my laptop because the wi-fi function keeps getting turned on and off. I fear a factory reset is my only hope.
edit: The issue goes away in Safe Mode. Still doesn't really fix anything though.
edit: Possibly fixed. Unplugged power cord, forced shut down, removed battery and waited about a minute. Plugged the cord back in as well as the battery. Started it up, went to BIOS settings and reset it to the defaults (F9). Saved the setting and continued the reboot process. The issue appears to be gone. I tested the volume buttons and they are working properly.
HELP.

Maybe this will help other with a similar situation.

Can anyone help me find a list of the ESSENTIAL drivers I need for a Toshiba Satellite A665-S6065?

Long story short: My Toshiba Satellite A665-S6065 won’t boot.
♥ I tried the Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Recovery Disk.
♥ I tried the Toshiba Windows 7 x64 Home Premium OEM Recovery Environment
♥ I tried turning off the computer & holding down “0” until it beeps & enters the Recovery Partition.
♥ I tried turning off the computer & F8 to enter the Recovery Partition.
I've tried everything that anyone has told me to do...
So I “acquired” a Windows 7 x64 Home Premium OEM & tried to install from scratch when the message “No drivers found. Please insert/search for drivers to install before proceeding” came up or something close to that.
I need to reinstall Windows 7 x64 Home Premium OEM and the OEM disk I have isn't Toshiba Specific so it is asking for Drivers in order to install. Can anyone help me locate a list of the SPECIFIC DRIVERS I need to just get the OS in?
I've been to the Download Page for Satellite A665-S6065 but there are so many duplicate drivers, I'd be downloading all night!
[admin edit for Terms of Service violation]

The system is under warranty.
Send it in for repair.

Toshiba satellite a665 bootmgr is missing

I have a toshiba satellite a665-s5170. I got a new hard drive in today, and when I put it in, it went to the restoring screen and got stuck at "copying files" for well over 4 hours. I thought it was stuck so I restarted it, bad idea. Now it's saying
"BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
I tried the 0 on start up, f8, and taking the hard drive out and putting it back in. It keeps saying the same thing. What should I do? I just put the old hard drive in and it worked perfectly, took me to the log-in screen and I was able to log in. I put the new one back in and it gave me the same error. Did I get a faulty hard drive?

Please see my reply to this message.

Toshiba Satellite C855-SS530 touchpad issues: left-click randomly releases

Brand new Toshiba Satellite C855-SS530 Windows 8. My touchpad will very often respond erratically. As I hold down on the left button and scroll, often times scroll will randomly release and then sometimes re-engage. This will happen with web pages, holding windows, etc. I'll be dragging a window or file or what-have-you, it will release the hold of it's own accord (without me releasing the left button) then sometimes re-engage (picking up other random files, selecting stuff on the desktop or other random things I didn't want to do). Most often I am holding down the left button and scrolling down a web page, and it will randomly "let go" of the scroll (before I have let go of the left button). Occassionally the touchpad will not immediately respond. It's too annoying to keep this laptop.
It isn't clear to me whether this is hardware or software related...Could be a bad button, bad touchpad, loose wire, or even a memory-glitch error which disrupts the touchpad signal. Does anyone know if this is a known issue with the Satellite C855-S5350. The touchpad is vital. It can't glitch out even 1% of the time. If I can't solve the issue, it'll likely be returned. I turned off most of the Synaptics silly stuff (edge swipe, etc) and it didn't resolve anything. There are nearly no services running eating up RAM so I have no idea why the touchpad would be freezing up...

Hello, I just completed a system restore on a Toshiba Satellite L655-S5117, and I have no audio via the main speakers, however audio works fine via a pair of headphones. I am running windows 7 Home Premium. What do I need to do to get audio working via the main speakers?

Toshiba Satellite A665 Sp6001L

Hello!
Well I have problem with my Laptop, recently the led on my Keyboard (like eco utility, pause/play media, etc... and the mouse pad led) don't function well... the only way to set on them, is going to the BIOS and setup the LEDS ON...
I wait for your help
cheers!

Satellite A665-SP6001L
Sometimes resetting the motherboard helps.
With the battery and AC adapter removed, close the Power switch for ten seconds.
Re-attach those, press the Power button to turn the computer on, and then immediately press the F2 key while the Toshiba logo is displayed. Press F9 to restore the BIOS default settings, press F10, and then select Yes (Exit Saving Changes). The computer will restart.

[FIXED]Toshiba Satellite m45-s359 brightness issue

Hi all.
I recently replaced the screen on my Toshiba Satellite, as it had a large crack in it. Thing is, the new screen is WAY too bright. What was once white is now a blinding light, and what was once pitch black is now a light grey. The battery life has been affected as well.
So far, with this laptop, it's been an uphill battle. The keyboard, although it has a brightness Fn key, hasn't been recognized by any distro I use, much less Arch. So keybindings are out the question. I have laptop-mode-tools installed, but there isn't a "video" folder in "/proc/acpi". The "/sys/class/backlight/" folder is empty as well.
Anything anyone can offer on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I've tried using xbacklight, but I get
xbacklight -set 50
No outputs have backlight property

That is pretty much it. It is a single .c file, a README file, and a Makefile. Let me try to compile it when I get home to see how it goes. I'll tar it up and send you a copy by email to the link in your profile. You will need to compile it for your system. I'm pretty sure a module compiled on my system won't fly on yours.
Edit: No, actually. I recall it is built as a kernel module and was built by slipping it into the kernel tree. Not that tough. I'll throw together some notes.

Toshiba Satellite A665 Not Shutting Down

I just recently got a new oshiba Satellite A665 while on holiday in America, and so far its everything i was looking for, except i seem to be having an annoying problem, it wont shut down after iv been playing a game, it shuts down fine when iv been surfing the net or listening to music, but after a gaming session when i try to shut it down it gets to the shutting down now screen and then just hangs there...
Anyone able to help me fix this?
Thanks In Advance

Unfortunately, it didn't nail the culprit. Ntoskrnl.exe is a Windows core file.
Can't hurt to install/reinstall this driver.

Toshiba Satellite L3** CD/DVD issue !!! Here is my solution. How about you?

Hello everyone. Nowadays, I see on this forum people are discussing about the CD/DVD issues on L30/L300/L350. I would like to share my experience on this issue and hope everyone shares your experience as well.
My laptop are Toshiba L30 PSL33 and Toshiba L300 PSLB2E. I am lucky that I have no problem with CD/DVD discs/drives as I can read/write/play CD/DVD smoothly. However, I used to have some problems with CD/DVD drive on my notebook. Here is my experience.
1) Make sure there is no other CD/DVD softwares on your computer (except the orginal software from Toshiba). Especially to those who have been used to using Nero. If you have problems, try to remove Nero and test with the one supported by Windows
2) If you still have problems, try to update the firmware of the DVD drive. It can be done by visiting the Toshiba Support Driver site (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/). Check what drive you have by looking at the Device Manager. Download the newest firmware from there and update your drive.
3) My last solution. If you have Vista pre-installed, try to get a XP version on your computer and do not install any other software. Test/copy a CD by using windows writing tool to see whether the problem is solved or not.
In my opinion. the main reasons you may encournter are: there are CD/DVD drives have XP firmware base and need to be updated so that they can be used in Vista; or there are software like Nero and PowerDVD are causing the conflict between the ACPI controllers (real and simulated).
Hope this may help you all. If you have other experiences, please share with everyone.
PS: Please excuse my language as I am not an English speaker.

Toshiba Satellite S55-A5274 power issues

My toshiba satelite s55-a5274 will not turn off to the power button even if held for over 15 seconds. The screen stays black and is not responsive. Im wondering if there is any type of reset button that will shut everything down that perhaps would be under the "hood" so to speak. The laptop will also not respond to the power adapter.
Any information is good information. Thanks

I reformatted my hard drive..
No idea what you mean by that.
Did you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media?
Did you use a new hard drive?

Toshibs satellite A665 keeps booting to Toshiba Recovery Wizard

Is there any way to disable this at boot. I am working on this for a pc illiterate friend who doesn't know why the recovery screen started. If I select No on the warning screen doesn't work. Neither does selecting Yes and then cancel. I was once able to get it to boot to the window login screen but restarting the computer goes back to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Looks like I got it working. I powered down the laptop and ,with the a/c adapter unpluged, pulled the battery. It has rebooted to the Win7 login screen several times now.

Toshiba Satellite A665-S6050 Sound Crackling

As soon as I bought my new laptop, I've noticed the sound will crackle, even when muted. I've already updated the drivers and tried changing the sound qualitiy but none of that seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Does this happen with headphones as well?
Try reinstalling the driver.
Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32/64)(v6.0.1.5904; 09-04-2009; 69.55M)
Do you use any external accessories such as USB devices? Are they working properly?
Has it always been like this, or did it just start happening?
