Qosmio X770 - key malfunction - Mute instead of keyboard light

Hello everyone
My Qosmio X770-13C makes me crazy, let me explain:
When I want to use the keyboard light that makes sound muted and I do not understand why.
The FN key works only when I reactive flash cards.
All my drivers and BIOS are up to date. What to do?
Somehow I think that latest Windows update caused it.
Thank you in advance for your answers

Now uninstall the installed VAP.
Reboot the notebook.

Yosemite upgrade: function keys no longer work, no keyboard lights and have to sign in twice after sleep mode. Anybody else having these problems?

Hi,
Since I did the Yosemite 'upgrade' last week I have been having problems with my MacBook Pro that never happened before. The most frustrating problems involve my keyboard which doesn't light up (checked my settings and they are correct) and the top row of function keys don't do anything so I can't adjust the volume, brightness, etc. Then if my screen goes into sleep mode, when I wake it back up I have to sign back in twice - I never had to sign in at all after sleep mode before.
I'm finding that in order to get it working properly I am having to completely shut down and start up again but when the keyboard problems are happening I can't get anything on the apple dropdown to work either (i.e. shut down, restart, etc) so I can only shut down by pressing and holding the on/off button.
I've never had problems with my Macbook before and feel like Apple have completely ruined it in one update! I've had a look through other posts on here but can't find anybody else having these problems so I would be really grateful if anyone could help me and offer me some advice on how to sort it out.
Thanks!

Qosmio X770-n404 How to get illumination to stick ON in Bios?

Just received a brand new Qosmio X770-n404 from toshiba last week
The lighted keyboard words fine when turn on
However when turned off, and illumination set in BIOS to on, it wont stay on after windows starts
I go back to Bios and it says illumination off
How can i get illumination to stick ON off in bios?
(im talking the illumintion option, not keyboard back light)

ok thats what i thought its supposed to do
so let me restate clearly, what my problem is:
first i go to bios, i sent illumination to ON
then of course i hit the SAVE option to store the settings
i exit and the laptop reboots
now, as soon as the laptop starts, the media buttons and the red strip above the mouse pad are illuminated
the laptop continues to boot, after i enter my password and the windows desktop begins to open, the lights cut off
The only way i can cut them back on at this point is to hit Fn-Z to either turn them ON, or turn them on with the timer(which is not exactly the same as JUST having the illumination on)
i reboot back into bios, the illimunation option is turned OFF
i turn it back on
wash - rinse - repeat.....
So im wondering if i have a software or hardware problem. When i set the illumination to ON , shouldnt it STAY on? and not go off once i enter windows?

Re: Qosmio X770 - Keyboard Backlight Timer

Hi
I have just purchase a Qosmio X770 and would like to know how to increase the keyboard backlight timer above 1 second. I would greatly appreciate anyone letting me know how to do it (if it's possible).
Thanks

>only setting available in the keyboard settings tab is whether to enable or disable 'wake on keyboard'
Well, I presume other settings regarding the keyboard backlight are not available.
There is not big difference between available Toshiba software on different notebook models and series and to be honest I never saw a option which could increase the keyboard backlight timer. So in my opinion you cannot change this.

Qosmio x770/00x - button 1 does not work pressing 6 and other button

This is going to sound so weird, but bear with me...
I just got a Qosmio x770/00x a couple of weeks ago, mostly for gaming purposes.
I play in left-handed configuration, using the Num pad as directional keys, with some of the other non-directional numbers mapped to things like 'jump' and 'melee', etc.
I have the '1/End' key mapped usually to the 'Crouch' motion in games, and noticed that if I press the '6/Right' key, in combination with any other number key, the '1/End' key won't register!
This means if I'm moving Forwards in a game, and Strafe to the right, I can't simultaneously crouch.
I've done a bit of playing around, and it seems that this bug isn't limited to my unit, or to any particular program. If you try a similar thing in any other program (eg Notepad), and hold the '6' key down along with any other number key, the '1' key won't register.
However it seems that it *has* to be the '6' key in the combination (eg. if you press '4' and '7' together, and then press '1', the '1' will still register.
Have also tried this on the store demo model at the local computer place, and it seems that it's a problem with this particular model.
The store computer runs Windows 7 Home Premium.
I'm running Win7 Pro. BIOS and Windows are fully updated.
Have also tried it on my older P-series Satellite, and that doesn't have the same problem.
Any ideas?

Ive got 2 notebooks from two different manufactures and the button 1 does not register if 6 + other button is pressed.
Dont think its a really a keyboard bug because this happen with my two notebooks which are not really similar to each other

External speakers do not turn off Qosmio x770 speakers

When I plug external speakers on my Qosmio x770-135 the internal speakers don't turn off.
Can someonee help me?

You may check the Realtek HD Audio Manager in the Control Panel.
In the top right corner, there's a little yellow folder called "Connector Settings.
There, you could enable the setting "Enable pop-up dialog, when device is plugged in".
Now when you plug in an external speaker or headphones, it pops up and I select the option "headphone" (instead of "line-in"), and then the sound comes out only through the headphones/ext.speaker.

Re: Qosmio X770 and Windows XP64bit

Hi there,
I recently bought one new Toshiba Qosmio X770, but unfortunately it came with this new Windows 7.
I have 2 other toshiba notebooks, one is a NB200 Netbook with WinXP32bits running nicely about 1 year or more, and another big one Satellite P300 also with XP32bits.
All the softwares that I need - are running extremly good, without any conflicts, for more than a year!
But something is bothering me: After ripping of the HD from this new Qosmio X770, and trying to install Windows XP 64bits, Ive found that theres no, or anykind of support to such drivers from Toshiba.
I downloaded many drivers from the 3rd party hardware manufacturers, but only a phew worked.
Now I have this big, powerful computer, expensive, without any softwares (because, when I try to install any software that I already own, into the original Win7 64bits, it says that its incompatible, or you need to buy another version, and so on...)
My point is: Im not going to buy upgrades or other software just because some dumb Engineer built an entire new OS that requires entire new softwares, entire new Drivers, and so on. This is madness!
What should I do with this X770?
Im not going to throw it away, but you Toshiba Enginheers, should make Compatible drivers, at least for the Windows XP 64bits / 32bits.
Im not going to put this crapy Windows 7, just because someone at Microsoft wants that. I have my right to still use my usefull softwares and my Windows XP, wich works incredibly more smooth, uses less memory and works well than Win7.
Many thanks for the support.
Daniel.

Windows 7 => Windows XP 64bits with some fancy and diferent colors. Look at the Control Panel on the classic view, its the same as Windows XP! The main difference is that there are some few new items.
The Windows Kernel hasnt changed much since Windows XP, the main key is the memory addressing that really needs to be rebuild, due to additional 32bit addressing (64bit processors). But the base still the same, just a recompiled Windows XP.
The madness here is that every single year we are forced to buy software... Do you really need to spent money? Its like burning money: you already have something working (like Office 2003... it works even better than Office 2010... they changed only the menus, but the rest still the same) why buy something that has just changed the name and added some fancy buttons? this is like burning money...
I know that we are year 2011, but lets look for something that has more than 100 years but the concept still the same and we still use it today: AC Three-phase induction motors - It works very well, requires very low or no maintenance at all, and delivers a nice and stable function - generating torque as long as the power supply is running ok. Theres another example: Radio FM / AM - the same as above. Combustion Engine - same as the above;
All Software should be made focused on the last longing utility - Software that will run 100 years, but will run extremly fast on 100 years Computers ..., than on fancy buttons or something like that.
Oh, btw, im still waiting, after about 2 hours, the finishing of SP1 Win7 install...
Im planning to test onto another harddisk, the installation of Windows XP 32bits on this computer :D
Hope to find 32bit driver somewhere...
Daniel.

Option key malfunction

hi
I've a weird problem in my macbook pro. Whenever I start it, it gives startup boot drive option. After startup my keyboard prints symbols instead of characters. It seems as if my opion key is permanently pressed(ON). I somehow managed to use keyboard viewer to work normally(by enabling sticky keys option) but my hard keyboard is still printing symbols. This problem goes away on its own if i do not use my laptop for 2-3 days or more and comes back after using it for few hours. I am still not sure whether it is some s/w issue or h/w. Whatever it may be, can anyone suggest how can i disable symbols to come up with option button. Or how can i disable or program to ignore the option key's continuous press(active ON). Nothing improves if i disable "Option" as modifier key under keyboard section. External USB windows keyboard works fine on this laptop. For all your advice & suggestions, thanks in advance!

There is a bubble membrane under the keys, it has apparently got stuck down, the only solution is to have the keyboard replaced by Apple.
If your under warranty/AppleCare, then make a appointment, if not have them quote you a price.
There are online Mac repair that also can replace it for lesser cost if Apple quotes you too high of a price or can't fix it as they don't make the parts anymore.
It's preferred to have a touch clicky clack type keyboard that speed typists use, it's stands up better to wear and provides a audio feedback.
http://reviews.cnet.com/2795-3134_7-563.html
I'm using a old PC one with my MBP because I know laptop keyboards are basically crap, designed to wear out in a few years, should be used only in emergency situations actually.

Drivers for Qosmio X770-123 needed

Hi,
i have recently installed a new version of Windows 7 on my Toshiba Qosmio X770-123.
When the system first started up, i noticed that, obviously, no Toshiba programs were installed and also no drivers for anything.
Right now neither my fn-key, nor my W-LAN chip are working.
I need the drivers for my Notebook, because the W-LAN driver for this product in particular is not available for download right now.
Thanks in advance!

Qosmio X770 starts up with no display.

My Qosmio X770 starts up normally but with no display, I tried connecting it to an external monitor but still nothing.
Sometimes I turn on the computer and the display goes on normally, I restart and it's gone again for another long period of no display. it's kind of random.. I opened it up and I didnt notice anything wrong, I cleaned it up and put it back together, turned it on and it worked.. then a few days later it blacked out again. This has been going on since the first week I bought the laptop a year and a half ago.. I never had the time to take it to the repair shop, as im always on the move, and now the warranty has expired and im looking for an easy fix up, if possible?
When I opened it up I noticed the case was kind of crumbling.. the plastic easily breaks. so I'm wondering if anyone else has these problems.. lousy plastic body and a faulty display.
Any help, suggestions are appreciated.

Intermittent problems are typically the hardest to diagnose. But let me try. Usually you can get an external monitor to show a display by doing an FN-F5 key combination. Hopefully you tried that. A black screen on the LCD can mean a bad LCD screen, bad FL inverter or a loose or bad cable. But if the external monitor doesn't work either then it goes down to the system board being at fault. With everything now being integrated into the system board including the video card, if the video isn't working internally or externally, the only fix is to replace the system board.

Desparate for a single key on left side of keyboard that serves as DELETE

I am running a MacBook Pro on 10.5.8 using Microsoft Word 2008. My right arm has aching tendonitis and enabling my left hand to delete stuff would help a ton.
Thus, I desparately need a single-key (not function+key or command+key) that DELETES letters or words in Word, that sits on the far side of the keyboard. I'd give up fn, or `, or even capslock. **** even tab!
I've tried DoubleCommand. It will remap delete onto the CapsLock key but then only deletes a character every other key press (apparently only works when capslock turns ON). This *****.
KeyRemap4MacBook says it will remap ` to DELETE but that simply does not work in Word. It can also remap fn to Command_L but that also doesn't work (yes, I assigned Command_L to DeleteWord in Word's keyboard shortcuts).
I am desparate to keep writing and save my right arm's tendons! Please help!!
Thanks.

You should be able to reassign one of the F1~ series keys via the
Keyboard and Mouse system preference panel; or maybe if not in
there, see the Univeral Access; you may be able to also use an
option by the name of Mouse Keys.
There also may be some other possibility, since there are folks
out there who have used two mice; and other set-ups. Even a
few who have used their feet to control their computers.
A way to use a Script (automator) to create a means to select/delete
words would be one consideration; however it may launch improperly.
• Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343
(Control - D and Control - H: delete before & after Cursor)
• How to turn Sticky Keys and Mouse Keys on or off:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8565.html
The DoubleCommand app supposedly has a way to make the Caps Lock
button work as a Delete key, according to reader posts on this topic who
had been using a MacBook computer and needed a left-side Delete key.
{An issue exists in assigning a key to do a different function, when some
other Application needs that key, as-is (or as-was) to perform tasks in it.}
However, the native means of re-assigning a key function in Sys Pref>
Keyboard & Mouse panel, or some workaround in Universal Access
may be something you can customize or use directly.
The topic has been discussed in these user boards before your post:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11668747
While I haven't really looked into this, there should be more than a few
ways of making a left-side Delete key out of some other key, in the OS.
Perhaps someone with more key assigning experience has better ideas?
Good luck & happy computing!

Qosmio X770: 4 nVidia HD audio devices in device manager

So i have a few questions...
In my device manager i have [this (screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/NfH5E7p.jpg].
So i have (!) 4 nvidia hd audio and 1 hd realtek audio.
I usually update my nvidia video driver and nvidia hd audio driver is updated every time with it.
But not long ago i decided to find any other updates to my drivers, cause bloody toshiba (we call it that way in Russia) is too lazy to support their laptops. And [found this:(realtek hd R2.70 codec driver )|http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level= 4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false].
Installed it, everything is working fine so far. It is for realtek alc269 (and also many other devices, but for us only alc269 matters) which is the real name of realtek hd audio device in x770 laptops (i checked in program aida64, previously known as everest).
So now i have [this (screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/6HM5mLj.jpg]: version 6.0.1.6662 date 19.06.2012
The previous version that lazy toshiba was glad to provide us with - 6.0.1.6360 [(screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/dUQiPA0.jpg]
So the questions are:
1. Why i have FOUR nvidia hd audio devices in device manager?
2. How can i make nvidia hd audio my primary audio device? Or maybe they are some kind of virtual devices or smth like that.
3. Do you think the idea of installing driver directly from realtek website was bad? There is a disclaimer on their site: To be sure you obtain the full features/customizations provided in your original audio product, please download the latest drivers from your system/motherboard manufacturer's website.
So i invite everyone to test this audio driver with me :)
And a few more things.
In one topic i found this info: moreover, myself and other users of this forum have overclocked their cards from 657/1300/1200 to 800/900/1600 and are very pleased with the results, so try not to overexaggerate
(it is a quote). So I will be happy if someone gives me link to some kind of manual about overclocking 560m gt from our beloved x770.
Also I found a lot of topics about nvidia drivers with angry customers. I don't remember when i first updated video drivers, but i've never had problems with them. When the situation changed? As far as i can understand in 2011 you could't install nvidia drivers directly from nvidia website.
P.S. sorry for my english, i'm from Russia. Also there is some russian on screenshots, hope it won't make your eyes bleed.

At first i want to "thank" moderator about renaming my topic. Original name was: realtek vs nvidia hd audio x770 + update r2.70 question. Where is 2.70 part in the current name? Ok.
Second. To Tonny: I'm not lame user, no need to explain me obvious things).

If there is nvidia hd audio device and it's not some kind of virtual device or controller, i want to test it like primary audio device. Simple curiosity. I love flac etc.,
So I always try to improve sound. And alc269 we have in x770 is also installed in my ANCIENT asus eee pc, so it's very depressing. Also your advice about control panel - sound is not working, i think you know why... There's only speaker device working on realtek hd audio.
> {quote:title=Tonny wrote:}{quote}
> You can use the driver from Realtek since the sound chip is from Realtek.
Yep, of course, but it's my 5th laptop and also i have 2 netbooks (i'm speaking only about portative devices, not pc). I tried to update drivers manually numerous times on my previous devices, and I learned a lesson, that if you install new driver (not from you laptop/whatever support page, but directly from device manufacter's website ) and even if you are absolutely sure that driver is compatible with you device there can be problems. For example, as i've already said realtek alc269 is installed in my qosmio x770 and in my super old asus eee pc. And driver is the same.
Also realtek driver support page has disclaimer: To be sure you obtain the full features/customizations provided in your original audio product, please download the latest drivers from your system/motherboard manufacturer's website. (already was in op-post).
So I only tried to hear from those who has already installed r2.70 realtek update or maybe tested it some way. But the moderator made it impossible renaming the topic.

What are the functions of all the keys on my (not wireless) keyboard?

what are the functions of all the keys on the (non wireless) keyboard?

System Preferences > Language and Text > Input Sources tab. Top of the left column, tick (check) "Keyboard and Character Viewer", Bottom of window next to search field, tick "Show input menu in menu bar"
System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab; tick "show keyboard and character viewers in menu bar"
If you open Keyboard Viewer and press the alt (option) key, the location of the diacritical marks and common symbols will be revealed. Note that five of them are highlighted in orange; these are the ones which can be used with multiple letters (acute, umlaut, gràve, circumflex and tilde)
Shift+Alt will show more.

Re: Qosmio X770-105 - camera is not working with Skype

Hey,
I've just got Qosmio x770-105 and while setting up Skype the camera just stayed black and never showed any image. While using the Toshiba Web Camera Application it is working on Skype it just has stays black.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix that ?
Thanks Than

Well, you could try to remove the Toshiba Webcam Application from the system and could try to use just the Skype tool but this is just a suggestion not quite sure what cause this issue
It looks really like broken Skype utility have googled around and it looks like more Skype users have the same problem using different computers and different webcamsunfortunately did not find a exact solution proposal

Qosmio X770 display not recognized anymore

I just bought a Qosmio x770 about a month ago and some day when I started it the login screen never appeared.
In linux left me in command prompt and said that no screen configuration was found.
Windows said nothing but the screen remained black.
After a number of reboots it worked normally but only for a couple of hours.
Plugged to an external monitor it works.
Also when I boot in safemode (or failsafe) it works (I mean I can enter windows/linux at 640x480 resolution).
I updated the bios to the latest version 1.30. What more else to try?
It's really uncomfortable to send it back because I need it for my job (even connected to another monitor).
My hope is that the problem is not hardware related and somehow I can solve it.
Is there a chance?
Thank you!

I reinstalled the windows driver in safe mode ... and nothing.. But I didn't do anything before the problem appeared ... And linux is not recognizing the screen also. I tried to boot from an external hdd and the same problem. Fn F5 show me only the external monitor. I tried some 3d games on the external monitor and everything seem ok. When connected to hdmi linux boots up in X Windows but when running nvidia-settings there is no internal display ... only the external one.
The strange thing is that the internal display is working in safe mode ... is it possible to be damaged then?
Thank you
