Toshiba Laptop Keyboard Problem
Replies: 4 | Post Date: March 5th 2009 | User: Marknd | Forums: devhardware.comI have a problem with my toshiba laptop keyboard. It starts typing z or / or by itself. Sometimes it is zzzzzz (tens of z) of !~! (Tens of ). For example if i try to type "hello" it will type as "hezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzlzzzzzzzzzlzzzo". Sometimes the up arrow or down arrow or page-down is pressed continuously. I have norton antivirus. I have run 10-20 antivirus, spyware and malware tools. They could not find anything. In a forum they said that this might be a keyboard hardware problem. Can you please let me know what should be done?

Toshiba Satellite A65 Laptop Keyboard Keys Not Working
I have a toshiba satellite a-65. It appears that the a, z, 1 and tab keys stopped working shortly after my cat decided to jump onto my lap, where unfortunately my laptop was currently at. My profile on the laptop is password protected. You guessed it, includes an a. So i cannot even log-in to windows (xp) unfortunately it is the only profile with administrator privileges. Any way to 1) get around the password so i can log-in to windows 2) fix the non-working letters?

Toshiba 2430 Keyboard Problem
I am attempting to fix a toshiba satellite notebook 2430 with windows xp installed for a client. It has complete keyboard failure - will not work at all. - I have attempted getting drivers for keyboard of the net to reinstall with no success. Also the notebook did not come with any matching documentation or software. - I have scanned the machine for viruses using kaspersky 2009 with no major issues showing. - Keys do not work prior to being in windows either ( for setup or boot menu so cant boot in safe mode)
- Unfortunately don't have access to a usb keyboard currently. In control panel/keyboard it is telling me there is a logitech ps/2 keyboard connected? That doesn't sound right to me. Shouldn't it be set to default onboard toshiba satallite keyboard or something similar? I am thinking this could be the issue as the computer thinks there is an external keyboard attached. Laptops aren't exactly my area. So not sure if it be likely to be a hardware failure (keyboard, motherboard) or corrupt or missing driver/software for loading device on boot ?

Toshiba Satellite R15-s822 Keyboard Problem
I have a toshiba satellite r15-s822. A while ago it started acting up real strange. Out of nowhere, the alt and/or the down arrow keys would "lock", or get stuck, however you'd like to call it, for no apparent reason. It's not like i even press one of them, it just happens. I have found that usually, the only reason to make it stop is restarting the computer (which isn't as easy as you might think when those two keys are imaginarily pressed). After that, the problem may start again after 2 minutes, or after 2 days, there's really no rule. The only thing that seems to be constant is that the problem starts while i'm using the keyboard to type something (on word, on onenote, on messenger, wherever) and not while i just use the mouse. I have run both spybot and adaware several times - they both always find a couple of stuff to remove, but the problem always comes back. I have also found that sometimes just getting the computer to hibernate and then wake it up would stop the problem, or pressing several keys at once, or deleting processes i don't recognise on the task manager. However, i don't know if these things really somehow solved it or if it were just coincidences.

Desktop Keyboard Like / Feel Laptop Keyboard
My logitech g15 is crapping out and i'm looking for a new keyboard. I don't really wanna spend large amounts of money since it seems all keyboards last ~2 years anyway. I would like a keyboard that has a tactile response almost exactly like a laptop. Anyone have any examples?

Toshiba Laptop Will Not Turn On
My toshiba laptop will not turn on? It stopped working on friday morning, i fixed it using these tips:
1. Remove the battery from the laptop (unplug it from the ac prior to removing it)
2. Plug the ac back in (leaving the battery out)
3. Gently move the connector from the ac adapter that is in the laptop gently from side to side, and then in circles. Very gently and watch your lights on your laptop; see if they blink or show any sign of life. 1. Remove the battery from the laptop (unplug it from the ac prior to removing it)

Dell, Toshiba, Or Hp Laptop?
I'm in the market for a laptop (my first) to last me at least 5 years with no problems or need for repair. I'm interested in purchasing either a dell, toshiba, or an hp (originally i wanted a macbook, but i've heard that that's not the best choice for a biology major-the compatible software is not as good?), But i don't know which one is best. I'm willing to pay up to $1200 as long as it has the following specifications:
-Built-in webcam
-Long-lasting battery (at least 5 hours)
-Best processor (fast with good performance)
-4gb memory
-At least 16" screen
-It must be quiet
-Must last me at least 5 years
-Dvd/cd drive (no blu-ray necessary)
Also, i'm not a big gamer (i like sims and nancy drew games, but other than that i really am not big into computer games). Please let me know if this request is even possible or if i need to lower my expectations! But please help me figure out which laptop to purchase!

Toshiba Laptop Keys Not Working
A few of my keys have stopped working on the keyboard of my toshiba laptop after a dreaded water spill. When i spilled the water the laptop was off, and i immediately turned the laptop over and left it to dry. When i turned it back on, initially the a key didn't work and probably a lot of others but the a was the only key i noticed as my password has an a in it. A few days later when i turned it on the a key must have dried out more and it had started to work, allowing me to log on. However, it has been 5 days since i spilled the (small amount of) water on the keyboard and these keys do not work [q, x, win, fn, ctrl]
The x key works if i hold the key down for a long while, but the others do not seem to do this. Obviously the kb is not trashed as it still works for most keys and the a key started working again. Does anyone have any advice on how i can take apart and clean or make sure it is dry? Or what has caused the keys to not work after they are dry, i have taken a few caps off and the toshiba laptop looks pretty water proof (lots of rubber caps, and nothing looking rustable/corrosive-able) i could post pictures if needed or has anyone had experience with tosh keyboards who could help me. Replacing is a last resort as i priced up a new keyboard online at £50~. That doesn't seem worth it .

Toshiba Laptop M100 Problem
Toshiba laptop m100. I've opened a dos box while surfing the net etc. The dos box will show blank letters (in other words, if i typed >mememe at the dos prompt, spaces would quickly fill up over loading the buffer. Tried moving the ram from one slot to the other. Before, it wasn't spaces, it was l's and 3's (maybe more)
So, you see, moving the ram over "helped" but did not resolve the problem. Ps: i have checked for all manners of spyware etc. And the behavior continues. Yes, i do not mind wiping the laptop clean. But is it a software issue? It looks like a hardware issue. Pss: to change the ram from one slot to the other, i had to remove the keyboard and then replace it. I could not find any water or coca cola damage to the keyboard. Anything else worth trying?

Toshiba Laptop Not Go Past Welcome Screen
I was restarting my computer after an update for my itunes and i think that one of my family members accidentally turned it off (which might have caused the problem). Also, in safe mode, it says that windows installer is supposedly not properly installed. And when it does go past the welcome screen after i do a system restore, it is enormously slow.

Toshiba Laptop Battery Not Charging
Toshiba laptop battery not charging, but says its is and battery light is on? I have a toshiba satellite laptop a100 series. When plugged in with adaptor, laptop works fine. The battery light is on at the front (which i think means its charging it)
In the icons in the corner, when i hover over the battery indicator it says 1% available (plugged in, charging) but it never gets over 1%, and when i pull the charger out it instantly fails, so basically it's not charging at all, but its telling me it should be. Iv tried reinstalling the driver for the charger/battery, no change.got a bios thing off toshiba website, no change. Any suggestions on what's wrong and how to fix it?

Do Toshiba A500 Laptop Have Webcam ?
Do all toshiba a500 laptops have a webcam? I bought a toshiba a500 laptop yesterday at office works, and the one on display did have a webcam, but when i opened the box when i got him i was surprised to see there was no webcam, and it was funny cause the protective plastic that you take off when new was shaped to be covering a webcam, and yeah i don't know whether i got ripped off, or that this type of a500 doesn't have a webcam.

Sound Just Stopped Working On A Toshiba Laptop
I have a toshiba laptop (i don't know what model, just recently, the sound just stopped working. Just like that, one second i'm listening to a song and the next, i'm not. Nothing is muted (the speakers are on, the dial switch on the side is on high, and the volume is turned up in the taskbar), but i can't hear anything at all (no music, no system sounds, etc). For awhile, i could hear a ding when i adjusted the volume in the taskbar and sometimes i could hear the notes that played when i hit one of the toggle keys. But i don't hear anything now. Does anyone know what could be wrong and how to fix it? I heard i could just restore my computer (with the recovery cd), but there has to be some easier way (plus i don't want to lose all of my files and settings).

Toshiba Laptop Upgrade Ram Issue
Adding ram to a toshiba laptop did not change the total memory? I installed a 512mb (pc-4200) chip to the toshiba laptop, right next to another 512 chip. I made it past the boot screen without crashing so i thought i installed it correctly. I noticed that the start-up speed was cut in-half, and that the operation of the computer was considerably faster. However, when i opened up the task-manager the number read the same as before the chip was installed. (456, 744kb). Is it being utilized by the computer, or do i need to change something in the bios?

How To Dust Out Toshiba Satellite L300 Laptop ?
Would anyone know how to dust out a toshiba satelite l300 laptop? I have one of these, and when i play video games, i have this tremendous lag. I sent it back to the store to get a checkup and afterwards it worked fine. They said all they did was cleaned the keys and dusted it out. I would rather not send it away for 30 days to get it repaired again, so any suggestions?

Toshiba Satellite M30 Laptop Shuts Down
Toshiba satellite m30 laptop turns on for a second and shuts down! I have removed the hard drive and switched the ram around and even tried it without the ram. When i try to power up the laptop, the lights come on and there's an almighty racket from the fan (but the fan is free and spins) and then it shuts down! I have disconnected the fan but even then it will shut down as soon as it's powered up!

Restore Toshiba Laptop To Factory Settings
How do i restore my toshiba laptop to factory settings? I've pretty much tried everything, it didn't come with a recovery disk and when i restarted my computer and pressed whatever i pressed it only asked me to do memory diagnostics and to restore system settings with a restore point that i had to set that only set it to a recent point in time, which sucks. I got the computer in 08 and it runs windows vista if that helps any.
