  Hello

  I think that your keyboard is faulty.
  Connect an external USB keyboard and check if both CTRL would work.
  If both work correctly using the external keyboard, then your internal keyboard should be replaced to solve this problem.

• T410 CTRL key does not work after update BIOS to 1.45 (German keyboard)

  Dear community,

  I updated the BIOS of my TP T410 (2522), German keyboard, to 1.45. After the update, both CTRL keys don't work anymore. Ditto for the AltGr key. When I switch to CTRL FN in the FN key BIOS - as supposed - works like the CTRL key. But when I turn off again the FN returns to his good funtion and CTRL does not work.

  When I connect an external keyboard via USB it works perfectly.

  Any suggestions how get the CTRL key works again?

  Best regards, Simon

  Hello

  turns out be a hardware fault. Swapped keyboard and it works again.

• FN keys do not work on Portege R200

  Hello

  no idea what to do when the * FN keys * do not work? I press FN and want to adjust the brightness or volume or toggle the touchpad, but it simply doesn't. Do I need to install a driver? If some parameters are simply off somewhere?

  Appreciate any input. Thank you.

  Hello

  If your laptop is preinstalled with Toshiba recovery image I don't see a reason why the FN keys should not work.

  Is there something more, that you should tell us about preinstalled operating system?

• Re: Button on the upper right does not work on Portege R500

  Hello

  At the top right of my keyboard (Portege R500) theres a button that shows a place in the foreground with a Sun in the background.

  I guess it is a kind of glare/brightness button to be used outdoors.
  However pressing this does nothing.

  Can anyone suggest what's this button and how do I make it work?

  See you soon,.
  H

  I think you're talking about the outdoor switch.

  This backlight button on / off turns on and off the display backlight s.

  Are you sure that you do not notice any difference this button?

  If you turn off the back light outside in good weather, you can use the computer for an extended period.

  Maybe I m wrong, but usually he should be able to configure this button in the power OS Options.

• Re: Backlight LCD rest not work on Portege R500

  Well, I'll explane you my problem, I have a Portege R500 NoteBook. Yesterday, when I was working with my laptop, I had to move, and something strange happened. The LCD has started on and off, and then the light remained off the coast. When I push the backlight button to turn it on, the light gets on only one second and then automatically go down again.
  I think that the button is disabled or something like that.

  Please, can you help me?

  Kind regards.

  When the light is off, you see something on the screen and computer office or else plans?

  And backlight button do you mean? I assume that, if this happens sporadically, only the subsystem of LCD or maybe something around the screen has some hardware poorly run and should be checked by an authorized service provider.

  I would like to learn more about your problem, then maybe we can proobably exclude some hardware for error...

  If not, you should check on the Mainpage Toshiba for the support home page and search for the next provider of services available in your country.

• Satellite L555-11U, CTRL key does not work.

  Welcome,
  I bought this laptop about 2 weeks ago.
  Since Monday, both the CTRL key are as "disabled" but I'm sure, that they are not damaged.
  Because:
  When I press on (left and right) CTRL + v, this spell: vr. Or c: C3

  Then I discovered while playing Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2:
  If I use the wheel size the Volume, the function of CTRL has been set for her.
  This means: in Cod MW2 I use CTRL to crouchinng... now, if I use the wheel I Crouch. Even in other games.

  I did my best to write in English: D
  Thanks for the help,
  Syan

  Hello

  Very strange, I think that the buttons are not damage, but I think there could be a problem with the keyboard.

  But just a question; have you tried to reinstall the operating system and to check if the button works again? You use the latest version of the BIOS?
  Please check everything first.

  If the buttons do not work even the installation of new OS and new BIOS then it s a hardware problem and the keyboard should be replaced

  I think this shouldn't be a problem given that the guarantee is valid and everything should be done for free.

• CTRL key does not work as expected

  Original title: keyboard Help!
   
  There is a recurring issue going on with my keyboard or very probably my pc...
  Well first to start with - I use a software type "ventrilo" called "mumble" that uses the 'CTRL' key as a key to talk with others in the same precedente.* *-could be a reason
  My CTRL key seems really screw randomly until that moment, it turn on sticky keys [where ctrl has practically been pressed permanently] even if it is not enabled on the settings... which makes it really difficult to browse web site or use games because I'm unable to type.
  Even if I try to disable it by using the two keys ctrl - it does not turn off...
  When I try to copy and paste using my CTRL key left it appears just under the letter c or v when I'm trying to do, but when I do it with my right ctrl - it is successful...
  * steam question *.
  I use also a program called "steam" that allows me to talk with others and play some games - but the sticky keys seem to be really stuck on this issue, I am unable to do anything...
  Whenever I press 'a' after that it is already used once - it will remove 2 characters: example: I type AGT-> and I press 'a' once more-> deletions G and T
  or whenever I have press BACKSPACE at all during a conversation of steam, it deletes everything.
  Urgent W on it also a tab or an im window closed on...
  pressing V will paste what I had copied at all, and finally pressing z would substitute a letter - for example: za-> type z once more-> towers to zz
  I hope you understand what I'm talking... help? Thank you...

  Hello Kent,

  Let us make sure that this isn't a keyboard problem. Connect a different keyboard to see if the CTRL key is working.  If it works fine, then it is a problem of faulty device. You may need to replace the driver.

  If this does not work on the new keyboard, then it must be a setting in the software that you have installed that is causing this problem.

  As a work around, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard and check if this solves this problem.

  1. type of Device Manager in the Start Search box and press on enter.

  2. browse the keyboard.

  3. right click on the mentioned keyboard driver and select Uninstall.

  4. once the driver is uninstalled, restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

  Note: Windows will automatically detect the keyboard and install the necessary driver via Windows updates.

  See 't-working-properly#update-driver-hardware-isn't-working-properly=windows-7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/update-driver-hardware-isn

  If the keyboard print incorrect characters, then try the steps mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258826

  I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please let us know.

• Left Ctrl key does not work as expected

  Original title: keyboard/Windows problem

  Hi there I met a strange problem that just happened, don't forget that I did not add that shortcuts to my keyboard just randomly happened.

  Any idea? Thank you

  PS Also scanned for Malware nothing shown!

  Hello

  1. What is the brand and model of the keyboard?

  2. you did any software or hardware changes to the computer before the show?

  Analysis of computer malware in order to solve the problem has been a very good start to get the problem resolved. I really appreciate your technical expertise.

  Instead of using the physical keyboard to type and enter data, you can use the on-screen keyboard. On-screen keyboard displays a Visual keyboard with all the standard keys. You can select keys using the mouse or another pointing device, or you can use a unique key or a group of keys to scroll through the keys on the screen.

  Type without using the keyboard (on-screen keyboard)

  Please come back if you have problems with these steps, or if the problem persists.

• Some function keys do not work on Portege R200/PPR21E

  Hello

  FN + Esc, Fn + F2 Fn + F6, Fn + F7 and perhaps others have no effect on my Portege (Windows XP French version).
  I tried with and without Toshiba PowerSaver running.
  What should I do to be able to change the brightness of my screen manually, regardless on the options defined in PowerSawer?
  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  You will solve this problem in a simple way using BONE from the Toshiba restore CD.
  This would retrieve all of the key FN functions

  But I think that the C of recovery would be last resort am I right? ;)
  So so you can just try to reinstall the common modules, shortcut keys, and energy savings

  Good luck buddy

• Portege R500 - Ctrl Key does not

  Hi guys

  I have two toshiba portege r500, who never really be used since buying about 2 years ago.

  Today I don't have one to begin to use it and find that the CTRL key is not working that I thought it was strange.
  After browsing a bit I couldn't find a solution then I'm just another identical laptop on and from using them to find exactly a problem only.

  Laptops are both under XP.
  I reformatted and uninstalled the keyboard driver to see if that would solve the problem but it did not.

  All others. Many have suggested that this may be due to a damaged cable keyboard but I think that it would be very likely that they would both violate the same way.

  Thanks in advance

  Connect an external USB keyboard and check if the button would work.
  If the button can be used with the external keyboard, then the internal keyboard is faulty and must be replaced.

• Ctrl key doesn't work does not correctly

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion 17-e031sa laptop bought only 2 weeks ago running Windows 8.  The CTRL key does not work as it should.  In general, I would like to use it with the left button of the mouse to select non-consecutive items for the copy, but this won't work for this function.  It doesn't seem to be the key itself, because it does not work in the combination of keys ctrl/alt/delete.  I tried to uninstall the keyboard driver and restart, but without success.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi riggy69,

  Sorry for the confusion, I knew that these keys would not do the function you're looking for. I wanted to know if these shortcuts worked using the CTRL key. So we can see if it works this particular function or all keys ctrl shortcuts work. Quick access keys did what they were supposed to do? For example, the Ctrl + X cut the selected text, or Ctrl-Esc opens the start menu?

  Trying to see if there something wrong with the key itself or is someone wrong with this particular feature you try.

  Thank you

• Portege Z830 - X 11 - enter key does not work on the logon screen

  suddenly, the Enter key does not work in the scrreen of connection (win 7 64 bit, toshiba portege Z830 - X 11), which some do not login with password.

  The on-screen keyboard sends the "enter" or the other.
  When in safe mode, everything works as it should.

  I solved this problem by disabling the password for the account, but I don't feel well in this situation.

  Help, please...

  Have you tried an external USB keyboard?
  Do this!

  Not very well why the ENTER key does not work on the login page, but I guess its problem of keyboard.
