Problem
I have a toshiba satellite M35X-S149 with what appears to be a bad LCD backlight. So i bought a “new” LCD screen to install. However, once I installed the screen, the same thing happened that the last screen was doing. The video would show up VERY faintly and the external video would work, but the backlight would not work.

Toshibaacpi kernel module add support for configuring the backlit of the keyboard. However, Fn-Z does not work. Toshiba Portege Z30t-C i7-6600U 2.80Ghz 16Gb Mem 256Gb SSD 13.3' Win 10 Pro.

If no keyboard shortcuts (as printed on the keyboard or some version of F6/F7) are working, then you'll have to use the cmd line. Here's what it looks like for me to look up the current brightness, max brightness, and then change it.
The F1-F12 keys perform a different function than intended. You may need to hold the FN Key as well to get the intended function.
Cause
This can be normal behaviour. On some Toshiba laptops, the Function Keys Mode “Special function mode” is set by default instead of “Standard F1-F12 mode”. This means, you have to press the FN key to use the standard F1-F12 function keys.
Solution 1
You can configure the Function Keys Mode by selecting the “Special function mode” or “Standard F1-F12 mode” by the help of the HWSetup Utility. Fluid mask 3 mac download.

Solution 2
1. With the computer powered off, press the power button.
2. As soon as you let go of the power button, start tapping(not holding) the “F2” key until you see this screen or similar:
3. Use the right arrow key to navigate to “Advanced”, then use the down arrow key to highlight “System Configuration” and press Enter.
4. Now use the down arrow key to highlight “Function Keys mode(without pressing Fn first)” and press Enter.
5. Use the up/down arrow keys to highlight the setting you wish to be default and press Enter.
6. Now press “F10” and then Enter. This will save the settings and boot into Windows.
You should now find that the function keys have switched back to the more common method of using function keys.

Touchpad
Works fully with 3.17+ kernel.
Bluetooth
toshiba_bluetooth kernel module is auto-loaded but is not necessary and, in fact, it is counter-productive, since as soon as you disable bluetooth (e.g. with rfkill), it seems to attempt to re-load the Intel bluetooth firmware every few seconds. Just blacklist the module. Create /etc/modprobe.d/toshiba-blacklist.conf with:
Wifi
linux-firmware is needed for the correct working of wifi.
