How to activate the keyboard repeat

This is a topic that has received a lot of comments, but I have found no solution.  I have an Elitebook 8530W, the problem is when you use the keyboard built into the laptop the keyboard repeat does not work.  If I use an external keyboard through my docking station, everything works as expected.  All key functions are working, but for holding a key, so only the key repeat place ideas help please.

It may or may not be possible (although more - I would have said just before that - keyboards provide the functionality).  Go to start / Control Panel / Keyboard and check for repeat rate or repeat what allows - if they exist, you should be able to make it work (unless the keyboard itself is perhaps faulty).  If it is not there (there are no controls) then the keyboard maybe do not have this feature, but it may be available.  Go to the web site of the manufacturer of the computer and are looking for the most up-to-date drivers, firmware or software for your keyboard and install it to see if that adds functionality.  If not, then the keyboard only has not the function repeat that it contains and there isn't really anything you can do on this issue (since same replacement will not solve the problem if it is not programmed to do).  The only option would be to search Bing, Google,www.tucows.comand www.download.com for 3rd party software which adds this feature to the keyboard and is compatible with your version of Vista and your computer (if such software exist).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Satellite P750-13F - how to activate the keyboard backlit on Windows 8

    Hello!

    Today, I installed Windows 8 premium on my P750-13F, which features a backlit keyboard. In order to upgrade to Windows 8 I had to uninstall certain Toshiba drivers and other programs.

    Now, I have fully functional Windows 8, but I don't know how to access the functions of FN key (screen brightness, wifi power button, volume up/down).

    Now that the FN key is innoperative function that I miss the most is that for illumination of the keyboard, because I can still do everything else by other methods (I mean volume up/down, brightness etc) but I don't know how to illuminate the keyboard now.

    I tried to install the Toshiba hardware configuration utility, but it will not install with Windows 8. I like so much if the FN key remains innoperative (although that would be nice if it would not) but what I really want to be able to change the lighting of the keypad.

    I'll be very grateful for any ideas.

    Up to Toshiba doesn t offer Win8 tools and utility there is nothing you can do about it. I hope that will happen very soon.
    So please be patient until the stuff of Win8 will be offered for download.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support on Vista?

    Hello. I've recently updated my satellite pro a100-828 to windows vista, and things work well to a large extent with two exceptions:

    1. I can't figure out how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support: media-keys to the left and the fn keys do nothing. There seems to be no shortcut keyboard-utility for windows vista in the drivers * tion. So what to do?
    2. the standby electricity utility is not available, which is good because of the power saver new vista. Except that I can't dim the screen, so the battery does not last me too long. How can I do this?

    Thanks in advance
    Best regards

    Hi David,

    1. what type of keyboard you use? What is a PS2 or USB?

    Step 1:

    You can try to use the keyboard on another computer and check if the problem occurs. You can also use a different keyboard on your computer and check for the issue.

    Step 2:

    If you are using a usb keyboard, you can try to reinstall the usb controllers and check for the issue.

    Step 2: Uninstall all USB device manager entries

    a. Click Start and typedevmgmt.msc in start search, and then click OK. Device Manager opens.

    b. expand Bus USB controllers.

    Note: You will need to scroll down to find this point.

    c. the first USB controller under Bus USB controllers right click and then click on uninstall to remove it.

    d. Repeat steps above for each controller USB is listed under Bus USB controllers.

    e. restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.

  • Satellite L350-24U: how to clean the keyboard after having poured orange juice

    Hello out there.
    I spilled my L350-24U with Orange juice.
    Now, I have 4 keys to self-retaining :-(

    Can someone tell me how to clean the keyboard without damaging the laptop?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm, it's still a stupid situation
    Usually you can remove the keyboard of the laptop very easily.
    The keyboard is fixed with screws hidden under thin plastic cover near the line of F1 - F12 key.

    If you would remove plastic this cover then you would be able to remove the screws as well. Then you could lift the keyboard carefully and could disconnect the flat cable of the keyboard and the motherboard.

    Notes; two small latches on both sides of the connector must be moved in order to disconnect the cable.

    Then you could remove the keyboard and could clean it with a damp lint.
    PS: the caps can be removed too.
    But be very careful. You must raise the CAP to get it for free.

    There are many videos on youtube...

  • Satellite L745 - how to remove the keyboard safely?

    Hello, people!

    I need help please. As the topic says, how to remove the keyboard?
    It's because I shared tea on my keyboard and, fortunately, no key was damaged. However, now it is sticky, and it is quite annoying!

    Can someone please help me with the entrance keys, Shift, back space * and other small keys at home.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sticky Keys?
    I really put t know if you will be able to clean the little mechanism under the CAP.

    OK you can try it. What you need to do is remove the key cap first. Pull it gently on the floor. It is set with small farmers in plastic. When the CAP is removed, you can check the situation and try to clean it up.

    When finished put the CAP in place and push it all smoothly. You will hear clicking noise and everything should be OK again. Do it for all the keys.

    Please take it very easy. If you damage this small mechanism you can immediately order new lkeyboard.

  • How to change the keyboard on Portege M300-101?

    Hello

    I have a Portege M300-101, and I would like to know if there are instructions online for how to change the keyboard itself. Our unit comes with, I think, a Belgian keyboard installed... and a U.S. keyboard in the box. Are there instructions available for how to move on the keyboards? Also, I guess it's a good idea to switch the keyboard before turning on the laptop for the first time. Do you agree?

    Best,
    Dainis W. Michel

    Hello Danis

    Unfortunately there is no public document on this subject. You can try to do it alone, but please don t forget that on this guarantee valid path will be cancelled. Basically, the replacement of keyboard is not well complicated and technicians may need 15 minutes to do.

    In my opinion, you can take a risk and pay for replacement before losing the valid guarantee. The Portege is very expensive and of damage to property, it is very risky to be unsecured.

    If you still think that you do not write anything again.

  • Terca M4: How to activate the external ports, DVI and analog?

    Please can someone please tell how to activate the two external ports. I would use two DVI and analog to the office. Currently if you activate a second screen machine sets up the flat screen and the other the DVI external display. Is this in any way about this?

    See you soon

    Hi Matthew

    As far as I know you can connect an external monitor or a TFT. For this you can use the VGA (15-pin) port or DVI - D video, supported by PortReplicator III (PA3314E).

    Sorry, but I don't understand why you need the two holes at the same time. How many external screens that you want to use? Sorry if I'm missing something but perhaps you can explain your wishes more precisely.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro U200 - how to activate the bluetooth connection

    How to activate the bluetooth connection?

    Hello

    First check to see if your computer supports BT
    If the laptop supports BT, then you should find a BT tag at the bottom of the unit.
    If there is no label then your machine was not equipped with internal BT module!

    If the laptop supports BT, then use the FN + F8 key to go to the BT
    Then BT should start installation and configuration.
