"Touch" buttons no longer work on Satellite A500-14L
Hi,
I am owner of Satellite A500-14L (PSAM3E).
I noticed today that the buttons for switching to ECO mode, or turning keyboard's lights on and off are no longer working, however, witching those settings via Toshiba assist utilities works perfectly.
I did *not* reconfigure the buttons usage. I was wondering if there was an easy way to "restore" their default functionnalities...
Thanks by advance !!
(Already tried shutdown / restart / delog-relog things)
Unfortunately, reinstalling toshiba VAP did not solve the problem.
Here's another strange thing:
-I tried to assign different programs to both the eco and the 'lights' buttons with toshiba button setting program
-when I then touch a button, it "reacts", which means it beeps, or even blinks for the "light" button, but nothing happens. I mean really nothing, whichever program or file I assign to the button...
This make me think that the buttons themselves are not faulty, since they beep and blink. What seems to be faulty is the "pipe" that lies behind that step.
Thanks for any other help you may give ! And thanks for your answers that were usefull anyway...

Satellite A660 - Touch buttons no longer work
Hey,
I have had a satellite A660 for a few months now, and recently, some of the touch buttons have stopped working, these include the eco utilities, wireless, programmable shortcut, play/pause, lighting and touch pad on/off button.
This makes it very hard to use the laptop as I can no longer use the touch pad as it wont turn back on. I can only use the laptop when I have a mouse connected.
How can I reassign these buttons to their roles?
Thanks in advance.
Seraj.
PS. I've tried installing the value added package with no result.it is. they dont work together.you can uninstall the driver for the buttons.
or alternatively
Toshiba Button Support uses the Windows function "MobilePC" - > " Hotstart". Hotstart only works, when the autostarting function was not deactivated (the value of registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun is set to 0xFF).you can change this to something esle. VMware set's this value per default to deactivate the CD/DVD Autorun feature. Switch on the autorun, reboot the Qosmio and Hotstart (and also the Toshiba Button Support) works fine. That's the whole problem. -
Audio/video/internet buttons no longer work on Satellite A60
Ever since i cleared the whole computer to 'freshen' it up, i can no longer use these buttons. I used all deliverd cds to put everything back on the computer, but they still don't work... I really like to use them again, so if you have any ideas...
I have a satellite A60 notebook
Thank you!
AnnemiekHi
Did you install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD???
If yes, so all Toshiba drivers and utilities should be installed now and should works.
I think you mean the Toshiba controls.
On my notebook this Toshiba controls application was placed in the control panel. Therefore I think you will also find it in the control panel on your notebook.
There you can check if the certain programs were assigned to the buttons.
You know the IE to the internet button the Windows media player to the audio button and so on -
What can you do if your home button, lock button and assistive touch button no longer work?
My lock button stopped working so i activated the assisted touch, then all of a sudden my assisted touch stopped working and so did my home button. The screenshot and gestures works on the assisted touch but if i press for it to lock or go back to home it does not work. Also if i hold my home button i can get the voice control up, but it just doesn't go back to my home screen. Is there a way to fix this?
Even if they don't seem to work, this will probably work:
hold the HomeButton and the PowerButton pressed at the same time, keep holding, ignore everything on the screen, keep holding, when you see the white Apple logo let go and wait until the iPhone has started completely. -
Touch screen no longer working on Satellite S55t-B5233
I've nearly had this laptop for a year and my touch screen stopped working about a month ago. I don't know what happened but I'm assuming one of the updates removed the touch screen driver. I cannot find any settings on my computer for a touch screen and I have no idea what to do to get it to work again. I really do not want to restore my laptop because it's too much of a hassle to reinstall everything. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could go about fixing this?

Please Help!!!! I have an ipod touch 4th gen. and since the last update the lock button no longer works, this has caused it to have a lot of problems now like freezing all the time, kicking me out of almost all my apps, some times even when if locks on its own its not locked and buttons with be pushed in my pocket, and this causes the battiery to die fast. I really love my ipod and would like to just get it fix if possible for a reasonable about of money. Anyone know of a place I can get it fixed in Ft Lauderdale Fl area or is there something I can do?

The "slide to unlock" on my elderly touch ipod no longer works.
The "slide to unlock" touch slider on my elderly touch ipod no longer works. My finger can move it three-quarters of the way then it pops back to the left. With struggle, I can sometimes combine the on screen slider moved as far to the right as I can get it then tap the hardware button on the bottom. I just have to keep trying over and over. An arrow appears at the top of the ipod that, when tapped, leads into the most recent song I was listening to before I turned it off. Just removing the earphones turns it off. Otherwise, I would just leave it on. The ipod works just fine once I get past that slider bar at the start. Help!

My keyboard and my external buttons no longer work.
I guess it's probably a hardware problem and I'll have them repaired, but I am informed anyway.
Last night, suddenly my keyboard, trackpad and all my external buttons no longer work. Only my touch screen works, but no back button, a BlackBerry is not very useful.
It may be software, but I updated yesterday the operating system. But I find it strange that all the external buttons do not work together.
What could be the problem. If I have to go to the workshop, I want to know as much as possible.
Thanks !

Why are the back/forwards buttons no longer working after upgrade?
Hi, I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.5 (I believe) to Firefox 4.0.1 and now the back and forwards buttons no longer work. I tried resetting the settings under the toolbars > customize, etc. That didn't work. FYI, I'm using a mac. Any solutions? Thanks in advance...
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

home button no longer working after upgrade to ios6 software on my iphone4..anything i can do to frix this or apple send me a new device. phone no good without a home button
The button's broken. S**t happens. Apple will replace your phone. If in waranty it will be free of charge. If not, you will pay $149.
You can elect to have it repaired at a 3rd party shop near you if you choose, but this will void all warranty if there's any left. -
Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs
Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs. Not just that memory of previous URLs got wiped out, it still doesn't remember the ones I've typed in since I updated. And No back button, it's really hard to use.
I went thru all the settings and could not find a way to fix this problem. What is up? I've never had this happen in any version of IE, FF, or Chrome.
Can I get back previous version? Until then, it's Chrome and IE for me.
I'll be happy to delete any plug-ins if it will make this problem go away.
THANKS in advance!Thanks. This didn't solve te problem but it seemed to have solved itself. all of a sudden it started working properly, without me even closing FF and starting it up again. Thanks Cor-el, if it happens again I'll try your solution.

Yahoo mail page sign-in button no longer works
I suddenly can't sign into my yahoo accounts on my iPad 1. It seems the sign-in button no longer works, when I tap it or use the "go" button, nothing happens - no error message, nothing. I've re-set the iPad and I still can't sign in. I can get to all of the other Yahoo web pages, just not my mail. I can sign into other websites no problem. Any suggestions? Is my iPad now completely obsolete?
I can sign in without a problem on my iMac.
Thanks,
KathleenReset your iPad. This will do no harm and you will not lose any data. See if that works. If not, clear Safari and then try again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
