additional characters happen when I press a key after all spill soda on keyboard

Keyboard problem. I am working on a Toshiba laptop, Windows7. Somebody spilled soda on it. I have clean the keyboard, but it would always use all the keys. I had a different keyboard on your laptop parts and it will type random letters and number, (affects the k and you get "8 k", the l key and you ket "l9") if I plug a usb key it keyboard works very well. Is it possible that the oil spill has shorted the connection from the motherboard to the keyboard?

Replacement keyboard is the same Toshiba model? If so, you still get errors, then the circuit is probably fried in-house. While you had the old keyboard out, have you checked for liquid inside the laptop?
If you think that this may be the keyboard (and I bet it is), then do a search online for the part number. It's probably on a sticker on the back of it, or the connector of the ribbon cable. Amazon usually has a good selection of laptop parts available for a reasonable price (I got a screen 17 "LCD replacement for a HP laptop for $89, and it works very well).

  • HP EliteBook 8560p: can not turn on WiFi: the button is orange, and nothing happens when you press

    Hello

    I have a problem with my wifi. The button always orange and nothing happens when I press on it: no errors, no message, no reaction at all. This is why I can't use WiFi.

    The laptop is a little new: I use only 2 months.

    1. number and product name

    HP EliteBook 8560p
    НР LQ589AW

    2 operating system installed (if applicable)

    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

    3. error message (if any)

    No error message

    4. all changes made to your system until the problem occurred

    My windows crashed and I got it from archive created a few days ago. Archive includes all data from hard drives, the system has been restored exactly as it was before the accident. I still don't know if this caused the problem (or if the problem occurred after that): it happened a month ago, and I had no WiFi available at the time and only tried to turn it on a few days ago.

    Additional details:

    In device manager wireless card is appearing as functioning normally. In the management of the adapter Wi - Fi is on but says "no connection available. If I run diagnostic tests, he asks me to activate WIFI with a button on my laptop, which I can't do. In Mobility Center, it says "connection Wi - Fi is turned off". Activate the button is gray and impossible to click on.

    I already tried things:

    1. Reinstalled all the HP drivers from original CD.
    2. Card WiFi removed in the windows Device Manager (remove device), restarted windows, installed new drivers for it, rebooted again;
    3. Checked the mobility Center as suggested in one of the threads available on this forum;
    4. Do a hard reset for HP laptop (battery removed, push the button and hold for a minute).

    Thanks for any help!

    I managed to solve the problem...

    Turns out that the problem was (apparently) caused by HP Power Assistant tool shipped with my laptop. Default profile has been showing the gray bluetooth and WiFi, and it was not possible to turn them on. I created a new profile, and even if all the parameters are identical to the default profile, it allows me to turn the BT and WiFi and turn off without any problems. Button is working fine now as well and goes from blue to orange when I press it. Active WiFi and it works.

    I hope this helps.

  • I can see the knobs, but I don't see the logic in what happens when I press a button.

    I can see the knobs, but I don't see the logic in what happens when I press a button. With every key I pressed a quick screen comes first, but I can't use the sliders to make whatever it is - either by touching the screen or by using the arrows on the keyboard. The screen for quick access expires before I can try a lot.

    When exactly the problem occur?
     
    Follow the steps below and check if that helps.
     
    Step 1:
     
    Test the issue in safe mode and check if the keyboard is blocked.
     
    Step 2:
     
    If your computer very well in Safe Mode functions, you can put your system to boot and check if any third party or any service application is causing the problem and therefore the computer to freeze.
     
    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you can go ahead and disable or uninstall the same.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    `

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

    What happens when I switch to Mac after 1 year subscription of the creative cloud subscribe with my PC?

    Can I keep the same number of members and just transfer it to my new Mac?

    Your subscription allows you to activate on two machines and they can be mixed platforms, so you should be able to have the subscription available for use on a Windows and a Mac computer.

  • Re: What is supposed to happen when you press FN + F5 keys?

    Well, I got this Satellite A215 a year, and yesterday, I decide to watch a DVD on the DVD player that comes with this laptop. Error message says to press FN + F5 to change my external screen something or other. FN + F5 did nothing. I tried other FN + F combination and they seem to work. I searched the forum for Satellite, but most of the stuff is facing the same problem with Windows 7. I have the Toshiba value added package which has been mentioned, but it does not seem to contain a utility program that solves this problem. I reinstalled the DVD player with my restore disk but the combination of keys is not yet functional.

    What is supposed to happen with the FN + F5 key? Drop down or pop up menu?

    How can I do to fix this?

    I can always use Windows Media to watch the DVD but would like for this drive DVD works properly.

    Thank you

    Desmond

    Thank you for your last assignment. I m happy to know that you have solved this.
    In any case, just for your info, Toshiba offers this option FN + F5 to switch fast between computer laptop LCD and peripheral external, as a monitor or a TV.

    So when you have connected the external monitor or TV you can use FN + F5 and choose all the options available. Connected device must be recognized automatically and several options like LCD only, only TV, LCD TV + will be displayed when you use FN + F5 key combination.
