Satellite A660-1H7 Function Buttons and Logo lights went out

This may seem a little silly to experience users of Toshiba laptops BUT I got my laptop recently, and few days ago I lost the lights on my Function Buttons (next to the power button) plus the 'satillite' logo at the bottom left corner.
I don't know if I did something to switch them off?
Saddly I don't know how to get the lights back on.
Can anyone PLEASE help and tell me how (step-by-step if poss) to get them back.
Thank you in advance.

THANX MasterG...
I followed your advice, I found the Backlight.exe in the TBS folder. I clicked on it and double clicked but nothing happened... I decided to click the file next to it called *Dimmer* and suddenly all the lights came back on.. Bingo..!! I still can't use my eco button for some reason, I used to be able to press that button it would turn green and my eco settings would kick in.. I am having to do this via my hidden icons... But it has had the desired affect....
I was wondering if you could make any suggestions to Speed Up the time it takes my laptop to load up... It seems to take a long time for an i5 processor..
I did access MSConfig and the Start Up Tab I have some 37 different items listed there... Apart from my anti-virus which I know I need to keep I dont know what to remove from the list so I can speed up the loading proceses ....
Thanks again...

  • Satellite A660 - Fan always on and loud

    Hi all,
    I bought the Satellite A660-10 days ago and I love it so far.
    The only issue I have is the fan noise. It is always on at 53% of the speed even when I don't do anything.
    I am wondering if this is normal as I have only an intel i3.
    Thanks!

    I dont have Satellite A660 and cannot say for sure what happen exactly on this notebook but at the moment I have several notebooks at home including brand new Satellite U500 and I have reduced cooling method on each of them and run in Balanced power plan.
    All of them are pretty quiet and fan activity is on minimum level. It runs constantly but on slow speed.
    I must try to check this on Satellite A660. Friend of mine has one.
    By the way: doud be careful with display driver update especially with drivers from non-Toshiba page. Maybe you will get more graphic performance but Im afraid the cooling fan will be probably louder than now.

  • My iphone 4 back side names and logo light how to change panel

    my iphone 4 back side names and logo light how to change panel

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

    rented a movie on itv. It started downloading. I accidentally hit the menu button and it threw me out of download. I went back and tried to download again. I got a message that I had already downloaded it and go to "settings" and on "iTunes download". The wheel is still spinning after several hours. How do I get the movie?

    Ok problem solved; signing out of iTunes account and signing back in solved it.

  • Just got NEW Apple TV, The status light went out during final part of setup and it no longer works

    Just got NEW Apple TV, The status light went out during final part of setup and it no longer works.  Any ideas?

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

  • Airport Express light went out, stopped working.

    Airport Express light went out. iMac says the connection is "excellent," but it's not working (I use it to stream audio) and is getting very warm. Did it die?

    The usual cause of a dark LED is a failed AirPort Express. The reason your iMac reports an "excellent" connection is a mystery, but would be explained if it is actually connected to a different wireless network.
    The only potential remedy is a "hard reset" (see below). In rare occasions, repetitive and persistent attempts have been known to revive an ailing Express. There isn't anything else you can do. A "factory defaults reset" is identical, but is performed by keeping its reset button depressed while connecting it to power. Try that also.
    To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then gently press and hold its tiny reset button. Don't apply any more force than required to feel a tactile click.  Keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

  • I WAS USING IPHOTO AND MY POWER WENT OUT. WHEN I TURNED THE IMAC ON I COULD NOT OPEN IPHOTO! JUST KEEPS AKING TO RELAUNCH. TRIED TO PUT RECOVEERIND DISC IN BUT STILL NOTHING!

    It also broke your cap lock. You need to get your keyboard fixed as it makes reading your posts extremely difficult and is considered shouting which is rude
    You need to load your back up or make a temp backup and rebuild your library

  • IPhone4 will not turn on. Tried reboot with home button and power button, and tried with sim out. Left on charge for an hour and nothing. Tried plugged into PC and nothing. Tried holding any and all buttons one at a time and plugging into PC and nothing.

    Hi,
    This is for my wife's iPhone 4
    She was on a call and went to end the call and the phone just turned off.
    Left it on charge for an hour or so and nothing.
    I tried the old reboot (home button and power button) and nothing
    I tired with the sim out.
    And with it plugged into a PC, opened iTunes and it didn't recognize that the phone was plugged in.
    I tried my PC and nothing.
    My phone charges and connects to both PC's
    Tried holding the home button then plugging into PC
    Tried holding the power button then into PC
    I've now been trying different combinations for about 3 hours and now I'm all out of ideas.... :(
    Please please can some help before Tuesday when I will have to find someone to repair it.
    Thanks,

    Sounds like faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for quick (minutes) free battery diagnostic testing. If you have Warranty or AppleCare the problem will be covered.

  • ON/OFF button is not working properly on my Satellite A660-1H7

    Hi,
    I hope somebody can help me as it is driving me mad. Most of the time when I push down the silver on button nothing happens.
    Sometimes if I push it rapidly it comes on other times Ive got to hold my finger on it for a couple of minutes. To get it on. I seem to think it could be the switch its self . If so does anyone know where I can buy one from?
    Many thanks ,,,,dino

    Such small parts and hardware components you cannot buy so easily. I presume the mechanism under the button must be replaced.
    I have similar problem on my old Portege M800. It starts only if I press power button on certain place (upper right border). Just then can I hear click noise and notebook starts properly. I presume you have similar problem, right?
    Until now I didnt open the notebook because I don't have maintenance manuals and don't want to damage anything.
    Maybe you should contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can order right part and exchange it for you.

  • Satellite L305D-S5895 - Functions keys and WLan don't work with Win XP

    Hi,
    first sorry for my english
    I bought a Toshiba Satellite l305d s5895, with winXP, because I need software, but the function keys doesn't works.
    So I need a driver, but i can't find it, and the internet wireless doesn't work.

    >Where would one find this special XP BIOS?
    In my opinion there is problem because most threads here are about European notebook models. so then come question from US. Toshiba Europe and Toshiba US don't work together and every of them is responsible for own models and offer support for country specific notebook models.
    So here in Europe Toshiba has for most models offered two BIOSes. One was already on the Vista delivered notebooks. On download page Toshiba has offered BIOS for WXP. in most cases it was version 5.xx and this BIOS was designed to support Toshiba specific tools and utilities. For example, full FN keys functionality was available with this WXP BIOS only.
    So if someone of you have US notebook model they should see how to find the solution with Toshiba US or US forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1
    Bye and good luck!

  • PLAY button and search bar greyed out

    Hello!  I've had an issue the past couple of days where my play bar and the search bar are greyed out. I can still play music, and pause it by clicking next to the track currently playing, but the main controllers at the bottom do not work. This persisted through the update I just ran on Spotify, updating it to the most recent version, 1.0.2.6.g9977a14b. See attached image for how this looks in my client. I have a premium subscription if that makes any difference, and as said, I can still play music. Thanks for the attention,Nuala ETA: And of course another update gets pushed out after I post this message, and I now have a functioning play button again. Never mind this. :) 

    Hello:
    Fantastic glad it got fixed with an update. Rock on \m/

  • I am having a lot of issues but the big one is that my menu, buttons and toolbar keep greying out

    I am having multiple issues and they all seem related to the menu/settings:
    • Every time I start Firefox, my bookmarks toolbar is invisible. The box to display Bookmarks Toolbar IS checked but I have to disable and then re-enable it on the toolbar menu in order to get them to display again.
    • "Tabs on Top" keeps defaulting to off. I check the box every time I run the browser, but every time I close it, it's back off again when I restart.
    • I keep getting tabs that cease to be interactive. They are stuck open and I cannot close, move, or pin them. In fact, if I try to click on the tab, it selects the tab immediately to the right of it. It's like Firefox does not realise these tabs exist.
    All of these are frustrating but I could handle them if this also wasn't happening:
    • Periodically, all my menus and buttons grey out and I am unable to use any of them. I can't click bookmarks, I can't use my back/forward buttons, I can't access anything on the menus. I can still use the URL bar and interact with the websites themselves. It seems particularly prone to doing this while I am adjusting settings or toolbars which unfortunately I have to do a lot because of the aforementioned issues. I have not yet been able to use the browser for longer than 15 minutes before it happens. I am having to restart it constantly.
    Potentially Helpful Information:
    I have reinstalled Firefox (once as an upgrade, once I uninstalled the original one first) several times at home in hopes this would help, but it has not.
    I am using Windows 7. (at work I am still running 2k and Firefox 4 works great)
    The only addons I am using are Morning Coffee, Personas, Adblock and Noscript. I use them also at work with Firefox 4 without issue. They are all updated for the latest version. Additionally, disabling them makes no difference in the presentation of these issues.

    If you are having that many issues, and if you have tried all five of the Five Rs, then what I would do is take it to an Apple store to the genius bar and let them look at it. It surely sounds as if there might be something wrong with the iPod itself, and if there is, and they can't fix it, they will give you a new one on the spot (assuming they have them in stock).

  • AddThis - I get "unauthoriozed to access service" b/c I accidentially hit a lockout button and I cannot figure out how to get back my site authorization for this computer.

    I am certain I accidentally hit a button that said something about restricting access. It happened fast. I now cannot send email from sites or use AddThis to send things to others. I am not a sophisticated user but have gone through the Privacy and Security settings on Mozilla and can't find where I can restrict or unrestrict my access to this feature. When I try, I get a message that I am "unauthorized to access this service". Many thanks - I know is is simple, I just don't know where to find it.

    Hi newmarket,
    Photo Stream is not a respository for archiving photos. It is a cloud storage device that will store the last month or last 1000 photos taken by any device on the same Apple ID, and then will "share" those photos with all other devices that have Photo Stream turned on,and that are logged onto the same Apple ID.
    iCloud backups will contain all of the photos that were on your camera roll the last time you backed up your device.
    If you have photos outside of the Photo Stream parameters, and they are not all on your current camera roll, then you have no way to retrieve them unless you have imported them to the computer you sync with or have uploaded them to some other cloud service like DropBox.
    Sorry,
