Keyboard compatibility

We have a Microsoft Wireless Laser keyboard 5000 and wonder if it would be compatible with a new MAC computer we bought?  We love the keyboard and he prefers to what the MAC came with.  Thank you!

It is possible. See:

  • Satellite L50 - Has 1 9 - replacement keyboard compatibility

    My laptop keyboard is broken and I have some difficulties to find a keyboard for the specific model.

    Is there anyone who can tell me other toshiba models that use the same keyboard? Also, can I install a backlit keyboard as in the series s50 (I noticed that there is a connector on my C50 to the source of energy of backlit) even if she had not done this way in the first place.

    Thank you!

    Hi d3mon3l

    The compatible keyboard can be ordered from local Toshiba ASP (authorized service provider)
    But also other keyboards that meet the same requirements of equipment would be compatible.

    It seems to be a common A4 + 10key black standard tile (layout of Toshiba key Standard A4 + 10key type) with a height of keyboard key 4.15 mm and 1.5 mm STROKE.

    I guess you could find this keyboard in internet provided by different computer online dealers.

    Hello

    You can order all the parts compatible partner service Toshiba in your country:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?PF=true

    I m not 100% sure if the German ASP offers the United States / the UK keyboard but an appeal should clear this issue.
    The other possibility is to use the external keyboard with the United States / UK layout.

  • Compatibility of the broken keyboard Pavilion dv6

    Hello

    I have a keyboard broken on a:

    Laptop HP Pavilion dv6-6110ez (LS222EA)

    I checked the keyboard is faulty by testing virtually everything and then disconnected - manic BIOS, beep stops. In the contrary case, the PC boots, so it bascially functions and also perfectly fine.

    There are also a few messages in the forums with similar symptoms - false characters appearing, "auto-repetition", etc.. Seems to be a classic problem, but makes the PC unusable without an external keyboard.

    The replacement part is 640436-BG1 - Swiss layout (the original HP & Flextronics P/N is 634139-BG1).

    But this part is not available to the user of part of HP or through HP replacement parts shop, or at the local (Switzerland) offical HP parts supplier.

    The exact part is available from 3 Parties at an apparently inflated price, but not locally (--> customs issues!)

    I can get a similar piece (570228-111) from a local supplier at a price reasonable. They claim that the compatibility is a fairly wide range of HW dv6-6xxx and 7xxx dv6, dv6-6110sw dv6-6117eg, which seem to correspond to the models mentioned in the service and maintenance guide relevant dv6 and (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02842252.pdf).

    The local official HP supplier can also deliver this one but wouldn't listed no compatibility.

    Keyboards are certainly pretty standard and interchangeable enough individual within the same range of models (makes economic sense), if someone can give me some advice on what replacement keyboard would work in practice?

    Work P/N 570228-111?

    Thanks in advance.

    -Patrick

    Thanks for the tip, this is the cheapest around a good margin, but they offer only in the United Kingdom and I live there :-(

    He also says "Call for availability", hmmmmm...

    I think I'll just grit my teeth and pay the "part replacement premium" after all. At least the 'proper' Party will certainly work.

  • In Win 7 keys on the Microsoft Natural ergonomic Keyboard 4000, Firefox & Thunderbird quick launch only throw in the toolbar, without opening the program, then blurred

    Although these keys to quick launch on this keyboard worked fine on this computer Windows XP, when I switched to Windows 7 64 bit, they started having this problem, but only with Firefox and Thunderbird. If I program these keys to open other programs, they do not have the problem. Therefore, something Firefox/Thunderbird, Win7 64-bit compatibility and software of this keyboard (latest version).

    When I press one of the keys to quick launch on this programmed keyboard for Firefox/Thunderbird, they display a rectangle of program in the taskbar only, but no program opens on the screen. When I move the mouse over this rectangle in the taskbar, the program opens immediately, but to focus.

    I also tried to reset Firefox, but this does not change the behavior at all.

  • Shortcut keyboard Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 - properties will not end

    Dear lovers of Toshiba:

    This week, we have installed three new systems of Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 (two L300-153, a L300-156) with recovery media for Windows XP since the L300-156 product (no date on the disc, only two codes: CD 5 124624 and GMR400841EN0).

    The machines are beautiful and very effective, except for one problem: when the logout or shutdown Windows XP, the program called 'The Toshiba keyboard shortcut properties' does not stop automatically and opens a dialog "end program". The user may terminate the program immediately by clicking on the button 'End now' or wait until it to expire, after which the system disconnects or terminate normally.

    We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied. (We will be definitely check this on the following system and display the result.) Install the rest updates Windows with Service Pack 3 does not resolve the problem. Not more then that uninstall Toshiba Hotkey Utility by installing the package current, freshly downloaded from the Toshiba support area.

    A colleague suggested disabling startup programs. There are two likely choices for this purpose in the startup list + of + msconfig +: * thotkey * and * TFncKy *. Disabling either of these programs allows the disappearance of problem, but the functions of the * Fn keys are lost. The key functions are also lost when uninstalling the Toshiba Hotkey Utility.

    My question is of two parts:
    # Comment this problem be solved permanently, or circumvented (other than to say the customer never disconnect & close always the cover to hibernate)?
    # If there is no solution yet, how can a bug report situate with Toshiba, so I can get them the information they need to solve this problem and establish the responsibility?
    I will continue to post new information here that I acquire until a permanent solution is reached.

    Although this problem seems trivial and 'cosmetic' it's always awkward having to provide new machines customers with such an obvious flaw. It ourselves and Toshiba look bad, especially after that we sold the idea that people avoid problems of this kind to choose a Windows XP on Vista platform.

    Thank you, Robert Phair
    Director.

    > We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied

    Problems could be caused by Win XP SP3. I've read several times that SP3 could be not entirely compatible with drivers or 3rd tools
    So I guess there is a problem of compatibility between the exe and SP3 files.
    By the way; SP3 is not completely released and updated test!

    I installed SP3 for some tests on my old non-Toshiba laptop and my work LAN card didn't so it of really possible that SP3 causes this.

    > There are two likely choices for this in the msconfig startup list: thotkey and TFncKy. Disabling either of these programs, the disappearance of the problem, but the functions of the Fn keys are lost

    It is clear that the thotkey and TFncKy files belong to applications that control the FN keys, SO if you would disable this in msconfig then buttons would not work.

    So, a solution might be a removal of SP3 System.
    In addition, you should try to clean the registry and operating system using the free tool like CCleaner.

    > Hope to get a response from an engineer from Toshiba, if there is no monitoring of this forum.
    I hope this too, but it seems that this forum is only a user forum.
    So if you want to report this behavior for laptop, contact the Toshiba ASP in your country

    See you soon

  • New keyboard for Qosmio G50
