Adjust Screen Brightness Satellite Pro 4200

Hello,
i heard from a combination of keys which makes adjusting the screen brightness possible.
Is that true and what is the key-combination?
Yours sincerely
Riedlz

Hello
Nicky is absolutely right but as far as I know all Toshiba notebooks have the same keyboard and all have the same key combination for brightness changing. Your Satellite Pro is pretty old and at this time maybe it was a little different.
Like Nicky already said check the Users manuals or you can download one if you need it.
You can find it under http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.htm
Bye

  • Re: Satellite L855 and Windows 8 - can not adjust screen brightness

    Hi everyone !
    I installed Windows 8 on my Satellite L855 and it is running pretty well except that I can no more adjust screen brightness !!! I updated all the drivers for Win 8 but it didn't resolve the issue.
    Hope someone can help me !! Thanks !!

    Hi
    Did you install the VAP (value added package) provided with Toshiba Win 8 upgrade assistant?
    Its necessary and the brightness can be controlled pressing F button
    F2 Decreases screen brightness
    F3 Increases screen brightness

  • Core speed, low/Satellite Pro 4200 Series

    According to the laptop's manual the cpu is a pentium III E 500 MHz in my satellite pro 4200 laptop (operating system: Windows XP home edition). Checking the score speed with CPU-Z software this detects only a core speed of some 250 MHz! How can I increase the core speed to 500 MHz?

    I installed the Toshiba Power Saver (XP with SP2) the processors speed icon is not activated. Using direct help on the Toshiba Power Saver screen it tells me This machine cannot modify its processor speed! But the software CPU-Z which checks the core speed still tells something of about 255 MHz but never 500 MHz!
    Furthermore I can not adjust the cooling method (also with Toshiba Power Saver) either. The cooling methods setting is Performance. Is this possible?
    tschantz2 and tschantz1 are the same person. So please do not be confused.

  • What is the difference between Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series?

    As mentioned in another thread, I have a SP4220XCDT that died on me.
    I bought a mobo from ebay which was from a 4290, and today it arrived, but the problem was that it has a seemingly fixed CPU, which stands out much less from the board than the one on the 4220 board, and therefore does not connect with the cooling mechanism from my 4220.
    At least something comes on when I start up now, but unfortunately it doesn't get past the Toshiba screen which tells you to press F2 for boot sequence.
    Having also spent money on memory and a new cpu, I don't want to let this one go, and have seen a motherboard available suitable for a 4320/40/60 - anyone know if this will fit in with the rest of my 4220? It doesn't have a cpu so presumably will have the same mechanism as the 4220 mainboard.
    I'm assuming that these might be compatible since I have managed to find a pdf of a service manual which covers both the 4200 and 4300, although unfortunately the first page is missing so I dont' know if that highlights any differences.
    It's frustrating that there are no pdfs available for these older models, at least with specs on them, and it's very hard to find any info.
    As usual, thanks for any help!

    Hi
    As far as I know both series uses the Intel Mobile Pentium III microprocessor with MMX?Technology.
    I found out these details:
    Satellite 4260 Series: Mobile Pentium III 450MHz
    Satellite 4270 Series: Mobile Intel Celeron 500MHz
    Satellite 4280 Series: Mobile Pentium III 500MHz
    Satellite 4320 Series: Mobile Pentium III 600MHz featuring Intel SpeedStep Technology
    Satellite 4340 Series: Mobile Pentium III 650MHz featuring Intel SpeedStep Technology
    The notebooks measures should be also the same. So in my opinion it should be possible to use the same motherboard in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300.

    I have tried uninstalling the Graphic drivers, re installing from hp assistant, I even tried directly from Intel drivers but it is not letting me adjust brightness =( Latest driver version to my 4400 Gcard was 27/07/2015 I guess we have to wait since those drivers are win8.1 compatible only =( 
    Hey, I tried updating the driver, I googled something like intel graphic 4400 windows 10
    Then I found this link
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25150/Intel-Iris-Iris-Pro-and-HD-Graphics-Production-Driver-for-Windows-10-64-bit
    read at descriptions to see compatible chipset.  After I downloaded it started installing and the screen starting to do the "power off" think it does whenever you're installing video drivers et voila!  ´the brightness went down and now my "brightness up and down" keys are working ='3 
    I hope this help you guys  

  • How adjust screen brightness in Windows 7?

    I used to use a Windows 98 laptop up to 3+ years ago, but since moving to Mac have largely forgotten how Windows works. I now have Windows 7 on Bootcamp and can't see how to adjust screen brightness. Surely there should be an adjuster on the System Tray (that's what it used to be called) bottom right next to the clock. I'm on 20" iMac with Apple keyboard (the long one with number pad at the right).

    Does the keyboard have brightness controls on the F keys?
    If these do not work: try holding fn and using the F keys.
    If that does now work I have to ask: have you installed the bootcamp software? you need to make a CD (or usb stick) of drivers and software from OSX then boot into wiondows and run it.

  • Have Upgrade Graphic Card Driver, But Still Cannot Adjust Screen Brightness and Sleep Button Not Showing After Clean Installation of Windows 8.1

    I have done clean installation of Windows 8.1 on my HP Pavilion G4.
    Then I realize that I cannot put my computer on sleep mode and cannot adjust screen brightness.
    I understand that those problems caused by the graphic card driver.
    My computer is running on AMD Radeon HD 6400 series.
    Thus, I manually search on internet and found a latest graphic card update on microsoft site that is claimed compatible on windows 8.1 (link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn344644.aspx).
    I've upgraded it into the latest one. I've check on Device Manager, the driver is running well.
    But my problem did not solved!
    Please give me the solution!

    Hi,
    How about go to Device Manager, then uninstall Graphic driver and restart your computer, system will install its build in graphic drver. You can have a try.
    In addition, access to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Brightness and set its value to 100 for test.

  • Cannot Adjust Screen Brightness with Fn Keys on New L540 (8.1 x64)

    Hello everyone. I just purchased a new L540 with Windows 8.1 x64 on it and have run into a problem I'm seeing is apparently common. While my other Fn keys work as intended, I cannot adjust screen brightness with them. Pressing the buttons just does nothing and the laptop is running at full brightness at all times, even when on the battery. I have installed the latest Power Management Driver and from what I can tell, there is no version of the Power Management Software for anything newer than Windows 7. I also have installed the latest Hotkey driver (in fact, I've installed all the latest drivers for this machine.) I read in another thread that this can be caused by the latest HD Graphics driver from Intel but I actually can't even install that driver (says my system is not supported) so I am still using the latest Lenovo provided driver.
    Can anyone please assist with this? I want to be able to quickly adjust screen brightness when on battery but I can't do that at present. Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have the same problem with my L540. It started with the update of the BIOS to version 1.65. Because I didn't find a solution, I went back to BIOS version 1.64, where all the brightness options are there and work properly.
    You can download older versions. When on the page with the new drivers (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS037285) go to BIOS Driver 1.65, then choose "learn more". At the end of the following page you'll see all the older versions.
    That you can install version 1.64, you have to change the "Secure RollBack Prevention" Option in the BIOS: Restart the Computer. When you see the option "To interrupt normal startup, press Enter", press Enter. Press once again Enter. Press F1 to enter the BIOS Setup Utility. Choose "Security" -> then "UEFI Bios Update Option" -> then "Secure RollBack Prevention". Change this option to "Disabled". Then press F10 to save configuration changes and exit.
    After restarting Windows you can install BIOS 1.64.
    Another possibility is to wait for the next BIOS version ....

  • Feature Change: Remove useless adjust screen brightness button.

    Remove useless button for screen brightness.
    both buttons serve same function.

    Oh - that explains it better.
    You do know that not every computer using Windows 10 has a key available to adjust screen brightness though, right?  Or, as in the case of the Surface, if you don't have a keyboard, the only way to adjust the brightness is only the software one? 
    For you it might not make sense, but include ~1 billion more people, and I think they should just leave both. 

  • Cannot adjust screen brightness

    I have a Lenovo G585 and after updating to Windows 8.1 can no longer adjust the screen brightness, it used to work fine. I also had a problem with sound after I installed 8.1 but managed to fix that.
    Adjusting the brightness from Settings > Brightness does not work, nor does adjusting brightness from Battery Life > Adjust Screen Brightness or by using fn + up/down key. 

    hi jackbeazley,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Open Device Manager and open Display adater.
    Right click on AMD graphics and choose Uninstall
       Be sure to place a check under delete driver software for this device.
           Now Restart the computer and install this driver
     AMD Video Driver  
    Check if the Screen Brightness will work now
    Hope this helps
    Cheers!

    I didnt find any info about Satellite Pro 4200 but I know for sure that Satellite Pro 4220 can be upgraded up to 320 MB max. Both notebooks are the same and I believe this info is valid for your notebook too.
    Compatible 128 MB module has part number PA3005U-1M12.

    Hi
    What graphic card was installed in this oldie???
    I dont think that Toshiba provides any Win ME drivers for this unit and therefore you should Google in the internet for graphic driver.
    Good luck
