Sorry, no ThinkPad has a keyboard backlight
However, they do, with the exception of the tablets and SL series, have the famous ThinkLight which you can turn on in the dark using the Fn + PgUp key combination.

Does Satellite P750-10E supports keyboard backlight?

Hello,
Yesterday I bought Toshiba Satellite P750-10E and I'm not sure if this model has keyboard backlit, because in few reviews I saw that this model has keyboard backlit but I dont have it, or dont know to turn it on.
Please help me to fix this problem, I really need keyboard backlit because many times type in dark room. :)
BTW this is awsome notebook, Im very greatfull and happy to have this model, just need a keyboard backlit if its possible to turn on.
Thank you for answers. :)

Hi
Checked the user manual of the P750-10E but didnt find the info that the keyboard backlight would be available I think the notebook does not support this feature.
Furthermore if the keyboard would support backlight, then the Z button should contain a tiny sign which would refer to this feature.

Why does Lightroom not have custom keyboard shortcuts?

Lightroom is a workflow app. It's not just about raw conversion, which could be done in ACR, but about speeding up the whole process of selecting, editing and cataloging photos.
It seems to me that out of all Adobe apps, Lightroom is the one which should have customisable keyboard shortcuts.
I've been using lightroom since shortly after it came put and I've been using the open-source plug-in keyboard customizer Paddy for several years which works okay at the moment. Each lightroom release breaks Paddy in some way and it's not as smooth as it could be if it was built in. Even so, I estimate I'm 2-10 time faster editing many photos with paddy than I would be without.
I know that even adobe's resources are limited, but adding keyboard shortcuts should be easy, certainly compared to re-verse engineering RAW file formats or fixing complex lens distortions!
At this point it seems clear that Adobe are choosing not to let us customise keyboard shortcuts. I'm not trying to change their mind, but I really want to know w
It perplexes me, why don't Adobe add what seems liek a simple feature which could speed up Lightroom use by an order of magnitude???

On Victoria Bampton's website she has a downloadable PDF file named "Adobe Lightroom 5 Windows Keyboard Shortcuts." (Windows, not sure about Mac). Its about 12 pages long. I assume that this is what you are looking for. www.lightroomqueen.com.

Does my MacBook have some sort of graphics lag?

Hey guys.
I've had my MacBook for two weeks now, and it’s been an "okay" experience. I detest the high-pitched sound it makes; it’s driving my crazy when I'm working on essays late at night. But alas, it’s not my primary annoyance.
Recently I've noticed horizontal lines running up the screen when the Flurry screen saver is running (Screen grab: http://img113.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture4jc0.png). This line runs up the screen every few seconds, and its really irritating. Presumably this is something to do with the MacBook graphics chip? I would really like to know if this problem occurs in other MacBooks or if I have some sort of defect in mine.
It also does the above when viewing iTunes visualisations in full screen.
Any thoughts/comments would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Chris.

Devin,
Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.
I did the test and got a score of 84 which seems to be pretty average for a MacBook, compared it to a few and the memory seemed to compare well to most MacBooks (Link: http://db.xbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc1=188535&doc2=1)
Not really sure then - If your MacBook, and presumable others, struggle on it, then maybe it is just literally the chip working as hard as it can. I'm just trying to reassure my self that I don’t have a faulty unit.
On a side note, the high pitched sound on mine comes from the top left of the machine near power adapter connection - It exerts the high pitched noise whether or not it is plugged into the AC power. It's not so bad in the day, as I don't really hear it in louder surroundings, but at night it’s absolutely infuriating - I just run a few programs in the background and it fortunately stops. Certainly not ideal, I'll probably end up phoning Apple Care about it, as I'm sure it’s not an intended sound.

Satellite L755-15R - does this model have blutooth?

Hi All,
I've just bought this laptop Satellite L755-15R, and all the spec and stickers and paperwork says that it has Bluetooth 3.0 + hs.
It has all the Toshiba bluetooth stack software, but it would not install properly or fire up. In fact it conflicted with the WLan card and turned it off. Marvellous....
Having looked through the forums, I can't see if anyone one else has had this issue on this particular model.
It would be nice if Toshiba actually listed which of their laptops actually has bluetooth enabled (I can't find a web page that tells me anywhere)
Can anyone one advise....a Toshiba laptop PC expert would be nice...:)
Methinks the paperwork is misleading and mis-represents what these laptops actually have on them.
Your help is much appreciated... guys and girls
Thanks
Rob

According notebook specification it has BT.
How to use BT?
If notebook has WLAN switch enable it and choose FN+F8 key combination and enable BT. BT option must be visible when you press FN+F8.
Can you confirm this?

Does pacman have a verify mode or something similar?

I took my arch drive and an old pata drive to my dad's machine because my machine doesn't have any pata ports (just got a new one) and I needed to get stuff off the old drive. I unplugged my dad's hard drive and plugged my drives in, but did so without realising the machine was asleep and not actually off. So there goes windows trying to wake up. 2 seconds later it BSODs and writes a memory dump to the drive, which I think may have broken my system somehow because now after rebooting my dad's machine and copying over all the files I need (had to boot to arch on my flash drive) I brought my arch drive back to my machine and now /sbin/init won't start because it is "accessing a corrupted shared library" and that causes a kernel panic ("tried to kill init"). So I've now booted off my arch flash drive again and mounted my arch drive in the hopes of fixing it. So I need some way of getting pacman to reinstall everything somehow, and I was hoping there was a command line switch like other package managers have that will verify any packages installed on the system.
TL;DR I somehow broke some library on my machine and now I get a kernel panic on boot because init is accessing a corrupted shared library, and I need to use pacman to hopefully reinstall that library.
My plan was to just pacman --root /mnt -Syy && pacman --root /mnt -Syu but I don't think that's sufficient.
EDIT: I tried reinstalling glibc, that gave an error about libreadline being corrupt so I tried to reinstall that, that threw an error about libncursesw.so.5 being corrupt, so I reinstalled that. That finally ran fine, but now when trying to reinstall readline it upgrades according to pacman then says "command failed to execute correctly". I also just tried pacstrap /mnt base base-devel and my screen is now being spammed by some weird characters. Think it's a format and reinstall for me
Last edited by biltong (2012-09-08 14:43:25)

No, I have no idea what it was spamming (looked like %059 or something like that, or a slash with a bunch of numbers that just kept repeating) but no kernel panic. Loads of library errors though.
I've now got pacman --root /mnt -Syf base base-devel running which is redownloading all the packages just in case. If all these libraries are broken it probably means all the others are broken too, which means I'm pretty much reinstalling anyway. I only installed arch 2 days ago, lol.
EDIT: Still not working, loads of library errors and "cannot execute binary file" errors. All of these things should have been overwritten by pacman, so this is probably a disk error or something. I ran fsck before everything and that corrected some stuff but it's still broken somehow. I'll just have to format and reinstall I suppose.

Keyboard backlight repair

I took my Macbook Pro pretty much apart down to the keyboard and got it back together with no leftover parts. The only thing that does not work is the keyboard backlight. I do not see any connectors that I left off and would prefer to not take the motherboard out to see if I missed one unless I need to. Does anyone know where the backlight cable is connected or of anything else I might have done to kill it? Is it an especially delicate cable that I might have broken?

Thanks for the suggestion but it seems to be a hardware problem. First, I took the Mac apart because of a little drinky spill that would not be covered by the extended warrantee. This is the aluminum model and replacing the keyboard is not an option, the whole top needs to be replaced at $250. I would do it if I knew that would fix the problem. The LED backlight string is probably controlled by an LED driver circuit and this may have overshot and killed the LEDs. I measure 4.95 volts at the connector for the light string no matter what the brightness setting is. Not having information as to how the driver works (is probably current sensing) I have no way to know if the driver (part of the m-board) is fried or not. So, I want to diagnose the LED string but I want to do the least disassembly possible until I know that I can fix it and put it back together. I don't know how many times the various fine pitch connectors on the m-board can be connected/disconnected without failing.
What I really need is some detailed information. Just a photo of the LED assembly (it is stuck to the black plastic that covers the keyboard) would help a lot. I need to know if it is just a series string of LEDs that connect only at the connector that is near the left side fan. If I can determine that it is failed I can get some new chip LEDs and or fix a bad solder joint or cracked circuit trace. Apple does not sell the little stick on LED string but makes you buy the whole top cover.
Does anyone have a late model Macbook Pro (the kind with the keys fitting in individual holes in the top cover, not the one with the easily removable keyboard) with the motherboard removed that they can photograph? I can certainly take it all apart again but that will mean three disassembly/assembly cycles before I get it working and I am afraid of the possibility of screwing up one of the many fine pitch connectors.
Also, if anyone has a schematic or description of how the LED driver works that would help me determine if it is working or not. My guess is that the driver overshot because of a temporary short and that it killed the LEDs.

Keyboard Backlight before log-in

Hi team,
could any one help on how to have the keyboard backlight switched on before login in, just when I push the power button.
regards...

Keyboard backlighting won't turn on if FileVault 2 encryption is turned on.

Keyboard backlight, on/off/auto

how can we just have the keyboard backlight on high all the time,
on mines, it goes on, off, then blocked (with the little circle barred) etc,
any one experiencing these habits also?
how to regulate this? do i need the keyboard update to fix it I guess?
thanx in advance

The problem is that you can't set the keyboard light to on. The computer controls on or off, and all you can actually somewhat control is the brightness but only when the computer turns it on.

Keyboard Backlight Settings have no effect vaio Control Center

I have a Sony laptop, model SVE14A35CXH, and my backlit keyboard does work, it's just that the settings in Vaio Control Center, under Keyboard Backlight, the settings for that have no effect on the actual keyboard backlight. I make the setting to never turn on, for both on battery and plugged in, the keyboard still comes on when a key is pressed. I change the setting to turn on in low light, turn off after 60 seconds, it always turns off after 15. Any time I change the backlight settings, the actual keyboard backlight always turns on in low light conditions, and always turns off after 15 seconds if a key is not pressed. The settings have no effect on what the backlight does. Help would be appreciated.

Hi Derp-Derpinson,
Are you using a retail version of Windows? You mentioned before that you did a complete fresh install of Windows 8. Please follow the troubleshooting guidelines below:
Power Cycle - remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. This will drain the electricity of the unit. Check again the backlight.
Reset BIOS.
Make sure that these drivers are installed or updated: (Sony® Firmware Extension Parser Device Driver, Sony® Shared Library, Hotkey Utilities). You may go to eSupport to download the drivers.
You may also reinstall Vaio Control Center.
Hope these work.
Regards,
Vincent

Upgrading T61 7662 from XPP SP3 to W7P and replacing HD - Have some questions

I have a 4 yo T61 model 7662 with 4gb ram and XPP as OEM OS. Plan to replace HD and install W7P.
1. Not sure of the replacement rqts for selecting a new HD and debating whether to go with 750gb or 500gb (7200rpm) and how can I be sure the laptop freefall feature will work ok with whatever HD I install. Is there something that I have to activate, a setting to set etc etc to make sure that works ok? Is this a fueature builtin to the HD or is oit a laptop based chip or thingy that sends a signal to the HD?
2. I am a student and my university has a deal with microsoft for students to get MS software at a discounted price. So I woill download W7Pro to do the install. Am I eligible to obtain (for a price) the W7 recovery disks from Lenovo and how do I arrange that?
3. How do I obtain the W7 version of the Thinkvantage Productivity center to install on my new W7P installation?
4. Do I have to download some drivers from Lenovo to do this W7 install? Before or after? I already made sure using the MS software that my laptop is qualified to install W7.
5. I have an external 1 TB drive where I can store my files temporarily for the uninstall/reinstall. Is the MS free download that assists doing this process worth using?
6. After I set up the virtual XP capabiulity - if I have a software package that has to be run in the virtual XP, can the files used by W7 also be accessed by the programs running in virtual XP mode since everything is NTFS? Say for instance I import a file from the internet using a browser running in W&, can I then switch to virtual XP to use a program to process that file?
Solved!

Hello and welcome,
I'll try to answer some of your questions:
1) You should be able to use any 2.5"x9.5mm SATA drive. I'm not sure about the air bag feature.
2) I don't think Lenovo will give you (or sell you) anything but what the T61 was licensed for originally.
3, 4) Install ThinkVantage System Update. It will download and install all the other Lenovo bits and pieces that apply to your laptop running Win 7.
5) For my money, a pure clean install of Win 7 is the way to go. Save and restore your data, but plan on doing new installs of everything else. Opinions will vary.
6) You can access the win 7 evnironment from within XP mode. I'd forgotten I even had XP mode on this machine, but I just tested and verified. I can browse to the entire machine from XP's windows explorer.
I'd also forgotten how terribly slow XP mode is - even on my i7 desktop. My personal preference is VMWare Player. Much faster. One of the drawbacks is needing an XP license to install in VMWare.

Keyboard does not connect - have narrowed to a software issue as it works in safe mode, but do not know how to resolve the software issue

I was in the process of connecting a Razer Blackwidow USB keyboard to my iMAC and something went wrong.
The new keyboard doe not respond and now my bluetooth keyboard does not work either. No connectivity whatsoever.
I've tried a number of things, including resetting the PRAM / NVRAM and SMC (interesting that the computer responds to the keyboard commands that are required to reset the PRAM). I also checked all the universal access setting to make sure nothing was interfering with normal keyboard operation.
btw, blutooth seems to think the keyboard is connected I get a gree light. I can even go through the process of unpairing and pairing and it allows me to type in the numberical code to pair the keyboard, but after that, it still does not work.
When I start the machine in safe mode, the keyboard works fine. So I've narrowed this down to a software problem. I tried to go to another user account to see if it's just associated with the current user, but since I have no keyboard connection at all, I can't type in a password, so that's no good.
I've eliminated a number of applications that I have recently installed (including the Razer set up app) that might interfere with keyboard operation, but no luck.
Any suggestions on how to go about tracking down this software issue?
Thanks - musikman7

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.
