Equium A100 - malfunction of the laptop keyboard

Hello

I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100 and when I press u on the keyboard on that I get 8u, when I I I ki, press o, I get lo, press press 2, I get w2. I checked the keyboard for defects on the cable to the motherboard, also shortcut keys off.

I tried an external keyboard and it worked well. I ended up buying a new keyboard which worked well for a while, and then all of a sudden, he started doing the problem mentioned earlier.

I uninstalled the driver and then reinstalled it but no difference. I am running Windows XP Home SP3.

I hope someone can shed some light on this problem.

Thank you.

You bought the new keyboard and it solved the problem for a while.
Well, in my opinion, there are two possibilities;
You had a great misfortune and the new keyboard started to malfunction too, or there is something wrong with the keyboard on the mobo controller.

But it's just my personal suggestion and if you want to know what's not exactly then you should ask a Toshiba ASP in your country for a control of the laptop.

By the way; I hope that you use the latest version of the BIOS.

    The ability to rotate the screen image is a characteristic of your video
    card, to help work with instructors who turn to the portrait
    orientation. Almost certainly you accidentally press on Ctrl-Alt, and
    an arrow key.
    Rotate using these keys.

    No!

    I can't be sure, but very likely problem is not the keyboard
    malfunctions, but rather that she brushes accidentally his hand
    against the touchpad while typing.

  • Equium A100-338, replacing the hard drive

    Hi, the hard drive from my Toshiba Equium A100-338 just broke down on me, and now I think to replace. Because I'm not good material, I thought I have ask for advice about it here first. Is this an easy repair that can be done on your own? If so, how can I know if my computer match which new hard drive? I know that I need a 2.5 inch Sata-150 and all that, but I'm not sure of the compatibility.

    In addition, it is worth the money to make repairs like this on such an old computer? I wouldn't throw it out when everything else seems to work very well.

  • Equium A100 - 027 Vista: the screen goes black for just 1 second

    I was wondering if anyone here can tell me what is the problem with my laptop. That's all new Toshiba Equium A100-027. Quite often, my screen will turn black for just a second, and then it will return to normal again.

    I changed my power settings, so it is not because of the screen laptop will. Most of the time, it's going to happen when I run the program in full-screen on real player, but it happens when I play mahjong titans which is included in microsoft vista.

    HM, just a small suggestion to check if you have a hardware related problem or some software:

    Connect your laptop to an external monitor and see if the problem still occurs.
    If the problem occurs with an external monitor then check that you have installed the software and try uninstalling the last installed software, perhaps the best will be step by step.

    So if all else fails, then try a recovery.

  • Re: Equium A100 - 2 L - the search for the replacement of HARD drive

    I inherited an Equium A100 - 2L (PSAAQE) of my brother, but he kept the hard drive damaged in the hope of saving its data on it. Can anyone recommend a hard drive replacement, and I need one any attachment or additional connector?
    Looking at various Web sites, I'm puzzled by this disc to buy regarding dimensions (SFF, 1/8 H etc.)

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    No, you need a t n pregnant additional or connector. The caddy HARD drive you need you can use old HARD drive and the connector is soldered to the motherboard. So when you replace the HARD drive, you need only one new, what s.

    Equium A100 has already SATA interface that means you buy a HARD drive with SATA interface, but it of not important if she s SATA1 or SATA2 interface because the two standards will work (SATA2 is compatible downgrade to SATA1).

    So just buy a * 2.5 HARD drive with SATA interface *. Also there is no capacity limit, 500GB or more should work and manufacturing is also independent.
    Just look at some online stores and buy a HARD drive with good price / performance. :)

  • Equium A100: Nothing on the internal display, but on the external monitor

    For some reason, my laptop has forgotten that he has a screen attached to it.
    I can see everything if I attach an external monitor, but there is nothing on my LCD screen, even if it is on and lit. It is only black.

    I tried to update the display drivers and even the BIOS, but neither one of those who helped.

    And it's not my screen brightness, either - which does not at all. It's as if my screen has just been removed from the system. Help, please!

    Are you sure that the display is not faulty? As far as I know if your laptop is not connected to the external display the home screen Toshiba must be indicated on the screen of the laptop.

    Start the laptop without external screen and wait a few minutes. If you think that the operating system is running correctly, try to use the combination of keys FN + F5 several times to see if you get the image on the screen of the laptop.

    When I try to use the svhs cable, the screen is black and white. Do I need to change the settings in order to remedy this?

    Can anyone help please?

    Thanks in advance.

    On the left side, you will find two ports;
    -RGB (port monitor)
    This can be used to connect an external monitor to the portable computer

    This port is used to connect the laptop to the TV using an s-video cable.

    Hello

    It might be useful to a few software updates in your system. First check to see if all your drivers and systemtools are up-to-date.
    Then, make sure that all windows updates are installed and that your operating system is updated.

    After this it s always a good idea to clean the registry. You can use tools like CCleaner which is VERY good tool for cleaning the registry.

    And last but not least: If you have tried to install the software of your phone on the manufacturer's cd, it would be preferable to download this software (because of news) and try it with the most current version.

    I tried to make light, I hope it would help you...
