bundy, as per http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/a660/psaw3a-07u00r/download?os=25&c=7 an update to your BIOS is available (2.30). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Summary changed: - Bug #683133 + [Toshiba Satellite A660/07U] Keyboard backlight not working ** Description changed: - I am experiencing the exact same issue as the bug that was reported re - summary mention. + My keyboard backlight is not working.
