Fn Brightness Control lost, Toshiba Laptop

I had to format and re-install Windows XP on a Satellite A105-S4201 Laptop. I installed XP, and updated to SP3. The brightness control no longer works using Fn+F6/F7 (or any other way for that matter). It was working before the format.
I tried a couple of different Common Modules installs. This one: tc00324000b (version 6.07.03) won't even install. Gave me error message, "TVALG Driver installation has failed". And this one: SPA210 TCommon Modules-XP (version 1.00.06) installed, and had me restart, but when I tried to install the hotkey utilities afterward, it said "TOSHIBA Common Module not found! This setup will terminate."
Any ideas?

 

Forgot to mention... I do have the latest BIOS installed (v6.0).

 

Hi my friend , you must look at this thread

http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Drivers-and-Utilities/Satellite-A105-S4201-driver-problems/td-p/71543

maybe these two drivers

ACPI Common Modules
Display Hotkey utility

is missing of your machine :wave

 

It looks like they've discontinued support for this laptop, as the laptop mentioned in that post is no longer even listed in the pull down menu. I think you're right though. I think those are the drivers I need. They just are not listed on the Toshiba website for this model number.

 

You can give us the model of your laptop , at the bottom of the laptop a sticker is located :wave

Isn't "junk" just more fun to work on, or is it just me?

Found what I needed on the Toshiba Asia website.
