Media buttons do not work in Satellite P300-21E using Win 7

Hello,
after shutting down my laptop, one week ago, the media buttons suddenly stopped working.
The weird thing is that they are flashing all the time, even when the laptop is off.
I downloaded the VAP from toshiba website (although the version was a 2009 one, if there is a new one for my laptop please let me know. Maybe I can use a VAP of a similar model.
My system is Windows 7
the other weird thing is that I disabled the illumination option from the F2 setup but the media buttons are still on.
I also tried to take the battery off, etc but nothing
any ideas?

Hi
The VAP is an Toshiba software and as far as I know you can use the other version of VAP which was released for other notebook series.
For example you could use the VAP released for Satellite P500, P750 series or higher.
But Im wondering why the buttons led is still ON even if the Illumination is disabled in BIOS.
> I also tried to take the battery off, etc but nothing
This was also my idea disconnect AC adaptor, remove battery, press and hold power button 30sec long.
Then connect the AC adaptor and check the Multimedia button functionality.

  • DVD ROM is not working on Satellite P300

    Im running Vista Home premium and my DVD drive (TS-L633A) is not working on a Satellite P300-18M
    when I check in device manager the dvd has a '!' next to it and a error message of 'Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)'
    I have tried downloading the latest drivers from the toshiba site and reinstalling it but it still fails. I have removed it from device manager and restarted the laptop but still no joy.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hey,
    I agree what Horwath wrote. I had the same problem few days ago and so I removed the upper and lower filters in registry and restarted the computer. After this I was able again to use my CD/DVD drive :)
    I hope it works for you too and any feedback would be nice!

  • Toshiba Media Controller is not working on Satellite P850-12Z and Win7

    Hi
    I have a problem with the program Media Controller, not get it to work at all, I have a Sony Bravia with wifi, try to share music and video and always says "remote media library did not allow the connection".
    How I can fix it, also say that when you try to play a file in the context menu "Play on" attempts to connect to the server but never connects.

    +To stream your media, you need the following hardware and software:+
    A wired or wireless private network.
    Your PC needs to be connected via a broadband router.
    Your devices must be on the same subnet as your computer.
    The network location must be set to Home network.
    Either another computer on your network or a device known as a Digital Media Renderer (DMR) must be present. DMR are hardware devices connected to your wired or wireless network that you can control using your computer.
    +To open Media Controller to allow enabling / disabling (not recommended):+
    1. Click the Start menu.
    2. Enter "Controller" into the search field.
    3. Click "Media Controller" in the search results.
    4. TOSHIBA Media Controller will open allowing you to setup sharing options.
    5. Follow the on-screen prompts to set up file sharing.
    6. For more information about setting up devices on your network, refer to the online help for Microsoft Windows 7 Operating System:

  • DVD-Rom sometimes not working on Satellite P300-167

    Hello, my Satellite P300-167 is acting kind of strange sometimse.
    When i used the computer for a while it sometimes looses the DVD-RW unit, it cannot find it, and its completely gone from the computer, when i reboot the computer i can use it again, any one other also had this problem and know a way to fix it ?

    One thing you could try now would be to go to device manager and remove the CD/DVD drive from the device list.
    Then open registry (regedit) and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Restart your notebook and after this Windows will reinstall it and should work again.

  • Satellite A100: Media Buttons do not work

    Hello!
    I have Satellite A100, Windows XP SP2. All multimedia buttons on the left of the keyboard stopped working. They worked yesterday, i did not install anything or even turned the computer off since then. They just stopped working.
    Can anyone help me to fix it?
    Thank you!

    Have you just installed the button controls over the old ones or did you delete them properly first and made a reboot?
    Sounds like there's something still left in some parts of the Windows entries.
    Maybe you could try to completely uninstall toshiba button control, then search for leftover registries with programs like regcleaner or similar. Make reboot and after that install button control again.
    In many cases this method really helps.

    I know there are some problems with Question Slides, but I'm using them as timesavers. Building question slides yourself takes a lot more time. When I started using them, I had to find the right settings to get the results I wanted, but now mostly I do not have that much problems anymore (if the internet connection is not failing).
    What are your Quiz settings: can the user have more than one attempt, do you allow Backward movement, Review possibility etc? Is the uploading to a LMS (which one), what were the Manifest settings?

    You will have to restore the phone and set up as New. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. The part you need is near the bottom, "If you have never synced your device with iTunes...". You will lose any content that is not backed up in iCloud.

  • Satellite U500 - The volume buttons do not work

    Hello
    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite U500 two days ago, and already having problems :(
    It has a touch sensitive control buttons, which includes the eco utility, media buttons, and volume control (+ and -)
    The volume buttons do not work, and sometimes the computer freezes upon touching them. Once I touch the -, it keeps turning the volume down until it reaches zero, and even if I turn it up using windows, it returns to zero (like if the button is still being pressed). The + one doesn't work at all.
    Please help. Any way to reinstalle their drivers ?
    The only solution I found is to disable them using HWSetup...

    Solved.
    I just had to uninstall the Toshiba Common Modules, and reinstalled them. It worked.
    I hope it doesn't happen again.

    Could someone helt me solve my problem?

    Hi
    You have to configure the single buttons.
    This Toshiba button support pop up will appear if the pressed button was not configured.
    So press the button and then assign the action, application.
    You have to expand this menu pressing on the small arrow on the right.

  • Satellite P20: Fn+F5 and TV-button does not work

    Satellite P20, Windows XP SP2 keyboard problem.
    When I press Fn + F5, the computer does not show as earlier the different display options. TV button does not work also. I can change the different displays with my nVidia Display Driver.
    My keyboard is OK, there is no dust or fluids. I have newest BIOS update and Windows XP Service Pack 2. What program controls the keyboard functions in this case?
    How to repair this problem?

    Hello
    Obviously you have removed something or preinstalled your own operating system. Without Toshiba designed tools and utilities it will not work. I dont know exactly which of them are for doing this but please try to install Dritek Easy Button Util. /Sticky Keys V1.008, E-Keys Utilities and Toshiba Hotkey Utility.
    I hope it will help. If not please write again.
