CTRL button broken on Equium A300

Hello.

I have the Equium A300. Earlier I wrote and the ctrl key is popped.
I tried to put back on and just, it comes off.
I found two small pieces of plastic, and from the looks of the lower part of button theres two small pieces of plastic that seems to have broken...

Where can I order a spare/new ctrl button?

Thank you, paul.

Hello

You're talking about the plastic cap?

These plugs are replaceable. The last time I had the similar problem. The key cap were damaged. The small plastic piece was brocken and I could order a missing cap of the ASP in my country.
But my laptop is out of warranty and I had to pay to that.

Laptop you seems to be new to the market and the guarantee seems to be valid. Guys should replace it for free.

  • Registration of windows to Equium A300

    Hey there,

    has recently obtained an Equium A300 and opening windows, you will need to enter your product key, or else just get limited functions. Found on the bottom of the laptop, but the warning keeps coming up 'the key is incorrect. I checked several times and spruced up in upper/lower case, added the dashes... and now.

    The product was preinstalled by the shop, what do I do, I don t want to lose the features!
    Any help would be great

    Hello Lori

    Sorry, but you have misunderstood something. For the pre-installed operating system Windows Vista you don't need registration. You need registration if you want to use Microsoft OFFICE trial version.

    If please connect your laptop to the Internet and start it. Just follow the instructions on the screen and you will be able to use this limited trial version. If you like it, you must purchase a valid license.

  • Key broken on Satellite A300-13i

    Hello world!

    Shortly after I received my laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-13i, the CTRL (control) key is detached from the keyboard.
    I inspected the key and I saw that some of the plastic hinges were broken.
    I suppose that this is covered by the warranty, but I want to send my laptop for Toshiba and wait until he comes back; everything simply because a button plastic is broken.
    So there are options to purchase the keys to spare for this laptop?

    Kind regards
    Infern0

    Hello

    If the plastic hinges are broken, then only a full keyboard replacement could help you.
    The replacement of keyboard is not very difficult
    The keyboard can be ordered from the ASP in your country.

    As I m he's not cheating s fixed by two screws that are hidden under the cover of thin plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons.
    If you remove these screws, you could easily get out the keyboard.

    But note; the keyboard is connected to the motherboard with the cable. So be careful!

    Finally, I must say that if you would do this so only at your own risk!

  • Re: Equium A300 - 16 c RM-70 - refuses to turn on

    Hi * types * :)

    My laptop is a TOSHIBA Satellite A300 - 16 c RM-70 and was purchased in September ' 08, he was used regularly until July 2010, when it turned off and won't start.
    For about 6 months before that, the laptop overheats when laying on my bed often and turn off. I had my battery tested lead charger and it works. But he has not started since that date.

    When I press the power on button, the light of laptop computer startup turns.

    I don't know if it's a problem of simple battery or a more serious problem.

    Thank you for your help in advance guys

    If you cannot start your laptop with AC power only (battery removed) that there must be serious hardware problem. When the laptop is placed on the bed of ventilation at the bottom is blocked and portable cannot be cooled properly so I think your laptop was probably overheated and lead was suddenly shut down.

    On the virtual path that is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis, but it may be possible that your laptop is serious material injury due to overheating problems.

    I think the best option for you is to contact Toshiba service and ask for help. They can check the hardware of laptops and say with certainty what can be done about it.

    When you compose a GMail message in Firefox, select a word at a time with ctrl-shift + left or ctrl-shift-right arrow stopped working new message in the text box. (The combination of keys does nothing now. Without the ctrl key, SHIFT-arrow always selects a letter at a time.)

    It was broken a long time ago, then fixed somewhere in the last month. Now in 3.6.12 it's broken again.

    It works fine in Chrome 6, 7 and 8, as well as IE.

  • Mute or LED on / off button question on Satellite A300 - 15 c

    Hello

    I have a similar problem. I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 c.

    Until recently, the multimedia keys worked fine. I have assigned an exe file to the second to the left key and been happy to use the power button lights and the dimmer.exe, but a few days ago the drive key stopped turning lights and acts rather as a key to turn off/turn on the sound. I checked the SCT and the key is always associated with the dimmer.exe. I even tried to associate the key with another function, but it remains just mutes / restores the sound the sound. You have an idea as to what could cause this problem and how can I solve this problem?

    And no, apart from updates to Vista randomly I have not installed anything new since before the key drive started acting weird...

    Hello!

    Value added package regulates these buttons and in this case, you must reinstall and use the latest version on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    As Garrett says you have to remove the old version first, restart, clean the system and then install the most recent drivers.
    I started this thread and I think it might be useful to you, because the user Raver posted a nice workaround and you should try this also:

  • Console buttons multimedia Toshiba Satellite A300-08WB do not work

    Hey all,.

    I reinstalled the driver and I restored my computer but the buttons backlit Toshiba multimedia Console still does not work.

    Any help appreciated.

    Cheers, Levi

    PS. would it not under warranty

    > I reinstalled the driver and I restored my computer
    This means that you have used the Toshiba Recovery disk?
    Have you created a Toshiba recovery disc at the beginning?

    I think that if you didn't use the recovery disc, then the question refers to the missing part of the driver or software

    But Satellite A300-08WB is not known to me what model number of the laptop is it?
    You can find the numbers at the bottom of the unit

  • Satellite L450D-11V - the touchpad button broken

    Hi, I have a Satellite L450D-11V which is only about 3 months, but left under the touchpad button has just broken. It has lost its spring and sank down in the case, so it is now off. Still, it works but not very well and clearly needs repair.

    My question is is it useful to open the case to see if something has slipped? The manual does not cover this, but it seems that it can be opened by removing the screws from the case under. My only concern is that I don't want to move something then not be able to re - assemble! A House would be obviously preferable to ship from Toshiba and be without it for a week.

    Has anyone else had a problem with the touchpad buttons break after a short period of time?

    This is typical warranty issue and even thinking laptop open on your own.
    At first you do not have manuals maintenance with an exact description of how to do this and this action may void the warranty.

    Contact service, explain the situation and ask how long they need for repair.

  • Left mouse button broken on satellite

    Hello

    the left button of the mouse on my laptop has broken pysically. I can place it in position and he always works, but obviously his loose and needs fixing, but I think there was something in the machine, some perhaps of clip that broke. The button itself looks very good. Is this repairable? and he isn't there something else I could try, I would not replace the laptop entry because of 1 stupid button.

    I did a google and nothing seems to come for this problem.

    Thank you

    Hello!

    In my view, there is only one way to go to a local ASP.
    They can replace the mouse left button or lid.

    If you have experience with laptop disassembly you can look on eBay. Maybe you can such party.
