Satellite A660 - touch pad on/off and other buttons don't work

Dear People on this forum,
Recently, around 3 weeks ago i opened up my computer and i cleaned it, took the dust out because it was overheating.
around 2 weeks before I noticed that my touch pad is not working and the top buttons are not working, there is no light (wireless multimedia sound buttons) I cant turn them off/on or I either don't know how. I am not sure if the problem is because I cleaned my laptop and did not connect some wires back but I am including this detail because I don't use those buttons so I did not notice if they were on. but 2 days ago I am not sure how my wireless went off ant when I press fn+f8 (wireless) it says wireless communication switch is off, which is one of the buttons that is not working (at the top next to of/on switch including with my touch pad)
I have tried the following:
windows update
turn off computer take out all wires and battery and wait for around 30min. Then hold then on button for 30s
reinstalling the flash cards support utility, hw setup and value added pack
and finally a Toshiba out of the box recovery using the 2 product recovery cd's
I am not sure what to do next. it is either:
try something else
or is there a wire is connected to both touch pad and the buttons at the top and i should open up my laptop again and connect them.
please answer as to my next step to recovering my wireless.
Your dear member of the forums, kaujis

Please dont understand me wrong but I dont know how to help you now. Notebook disassembling is for authorized people only and if you do this on your own there is always a risk that something can be done wrong or maybe damaged.
OK I must also say that I have also disassembled my machine too but I was lucky and everything is OK as before.
I dont know how A660 looks inside but the principle is always the same and I cannot imagine you have damaged anything.
You know very well that we cannot say much about your problem. What you should do now is final functionality test and install original recovery image that you got with your notebook. Test functionality with factory settings. If the problem is still there, Im afraid you must open notebook again and check if everything is connected properly.
Last option is to contact service and ask for help.

  • IPad 2 Rotation, Sleep, and Volume Buttons Don't Work.

    I have an iPad 2 running 7.1.1 (11D201) and just yesterday the sleep sleep and volume buttons don't work, and the screen won't rotate at all.  I have already tried the following:
    Switched the Lock Rotation/Mute settings in General
    Power cycling it
    Held the sleep and menu button to reset it (the button worked for that at least)
    Done a network reset
    Reset All Settings and restored from backup
    Reset All Settings and restored from iCloud
    Erase All Content and Settings and restored from backup
    Erase All Content and Settings and restored from iCloud
    If anyone has any OTHER suggestions besides what I've already tried, I am all ears.  Thanks.

    Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    Make sure that you set those buttons to the default action in your mouse driver software (Control Panel > Mouse or specific Intellimouse driver software).

  • My earphones mic and volume buttons don't work ever since the iOS 8.1 update! Please help me. One discussion person says they bought a new pair and THEY don't work either. What do I do? I'm about to have a breakdown!

    I rely heavily on my earphones because well... I'm lazy but they don't work. They work on my friend's iPhone who hasn't updated yet but I've updayed and the mic and volume buttons don't work. Please make a correct update!

    Nope, still same problem. I did an install, didn't work. Then I completely removed my IDT driver, restarted, installed the driver, restarted, same problem.
    When I troubleshoot my audio it always asks me which one to troubleshoot. It only works if I do one of the "Speakers / HP - IDT" but I don't know why it has so many devices listed with the same name.
    Also, after I troubleshoot and I can hear audio, if I go to "Manage audio devices" it still shows that no audio device is installed, which is why the webinars won't work.

  • Volume and brightness buttons don't work anymore

    I did a complete restore from factory DVD and since then the volume and brightness buttons don't work anymore.  I have an All-in-One AE1900.  Anybody can help me fix this problem?  Since I do not have the original keyboard anymore, I can't use the hot key combination to do it.  Thanks for your help.

    I've had this same problem, but when I am using "Parallels" to run windows programs on my new Macbook Air, with an external Mac LED Cinema Display, the brightness keys on the external apple keyboard do not work.  Sound seems to work fine.  They work fine in Mac mode. 
    Any solutions?

  • Satellite U500-1F5: eco and FN buttons don't work after BIOS update

    Hi everyone,
    I hope i can find a solution for my problems in here.

    I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.
    Last week I received an alert to updat the BIOS and i did it. since then i noticed the following problems:
    1. eco utility is not working, and when i tried to uninstall it it says (BIOS unsupported)
    2. the on screen funtion buttons that appear on the top of the screen when you press the Fn button does not apear anymore
    3. the touchpad lock and unlock button does not work and even pressing Fn+F9 doesnot lock it
    I hope u can give me an answer regarding my problems,
    I already downloaded the latest updates for the eco and value added packege from toshiba site and installed them,
    BUT
    didnt solve any of my prob
    still eco utility is not working. The msg (unsupported BIOS), appear when i run the update.
    The function buttons bar on the top of the screen not working ( even after i uninstall the toshiba value package and re-install the latest one) and the touch back lock/unlock button also is not working.
    I hope Toshiba can find me a solution, coz I dont have the time to go the service center

    Thanx in advance

    Hello
    At first just one comment:
    *I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.*
    Thats nice but definitely not necessary. When the system runs well, don't touch or change anything. Maybe sounds stupid now but I recommend you to remove TEMPRO from the system. Believe me you don't need it. I have 2 years old Satellite A300 and still original BIOS. It runs perfectly and I don't want to make risk and change anything. Since last month I have Satellite U500-1EX and will do the same. Tempro is already removed and I am happy with factory settings.
    All you have done is OK but at least you can try to reinstall whole OS now using HDD recovery option (F8 at start-up) to see if everything will works well again. sorry but if this will not help I think you need BIOS downgrade to old version.

  • "Archive" and "View" buttons don't work after folio update

    Hi all,
    I have a subscription to the professional edition and I have built a custom viewer app for Android. I have built about 10 folios and at first download all is ok, the folios are displayed without problems and the app works fine except for one issue: "Archive" button don't work, when I tap on it, near folio cover, nothing happens, the folio does not disappear from folios list.
    But the serious problem occurs when I perform a folio update from Folio Producer ('Update content' from adobe dashboard DPS): both "Archive" and "View" buttons stop working, nothig happens when I tap tap on them and I am forced to uninstall and reinstall the application on tablet (.apk file) to see folio changes in my custom viewer.
    This is very annoying as well as time expensive.
    Tablet is Samsun Galaxy Tab SII with Android 3.2.
    Any help is appreciated.

    To the best of my knowledge, the SII is a smartphone and not a tablet device, and the official claim is (correct me if I'm wrong) that DPS on Android is corrently tablet only.
    Anyway, it seems strange to me so checked and found out that even though the DPS apps are not available when you search for them in the Play Market of a smartphone you can still force load them to the phone and run them.
    I've done it on both a Samsung SIII running Android 4.0.4 and a Samsung GT-I9070 running Android 2.3.6 (I currently don't have a device running Android 3.2)
    The interface is so small that it's hardly possible to use it, but it works.

  • My ipod touch fourth generation keyboard and unlock button are not working

    my ipod touch fourth generation was working at one moment and then when i went to unlock the screen and type in the passcode it would not let me swype the unlock button and when i turned it off and back on again and the passcode section popped up it would only let me type the 1, 2, and 3 buttons and now it is not letting me type at all. What do i need to do? The screen is also cracked but when i cracked the screen i was still able to see what i was doing and still able to use the ipod but this was before the keyboard and unlock button stopped working, I dont know if the screen being cracked would have anything to do with the keyboard and unlock button not working. PLEASE HELP ME

  • My iPod touch's lock/hold and volume buttons do not work, my WiFi also does

    My iPod has done this for quite a while and the hold button and volume button (no matter how hard or long pressed) does not work. When I go to settings and look at the WiFi button it won't even let me touch it and it says "No WiFi" even when there is. My warranty has run out though and I don't want to have to pay a lot to repair it. Any help?

    I would first try resetting your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be restoring it from backup via iTunes in your computer.
