keyboard died after a little water

My dv5 keyboard - 1044ca is not functional after any spill water on it. I have unplugged, and dismantled just after to let dry. Up to 24 hours later and the laptop works less the keyboard.  Device Manager indicates it is plugged into the port and works well. 0 keys work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, updated the BIOS, but not luck. Any other suggestions? If I had to change the keyboard type exact same dv5 series (1044ca)?

I don't know how, but somehow I got lucky to have full function back to my keyboard, other than the arrow key to the left for the moment.  First the bottom half of the keys starting around noon and then all the rest (less the left arrow) came back only a few minutes ago.  I feel so relieved.

  • Wireless iMac keyboard 'stick' after sleep

    Sometimes (mostly, but not always - prob 90% of the time) my wireless keyboard 'glue' after my iMac 27 "comes out of sleep mode.  At the login prompt, the entry buffer fills up with junk as if a ghost is to type, and the keyboard is completely insensitive (e.g. to remove). The only solution is to hold the power button on the keyboard until it stops and then put the new one.

    The keyboard is not sticking in the physical sense, because once he recovers after a power cycle, it is back to normal (a properly glued key would be obvious that it repeats)

    Battery levels are very good - this behavior occurs regardless of the battery status. I read other reports of people in need of re-pair the bluetooth connection.  He doesn't lose it is the pairing, but there is a problem with connectivity, or there is a bug?

    Anyone who has experienced this problem?

    Thank you

    Try to do a reset of the SCM and LANDAU. The SMC reset may have to be tried 2 or 3 times back to back. If you are not familiar with these resets, please read iMac SMC and reset the PRAM. If those who do not help, please post back and there is something else to do.

    Hello

    The laptop goes to home Toshiba screen?
    If yes there is no hardware malfunction but perhaps something wrong with the software.

    You suggested that it of not possible to enter the BIOS. How have you tried to get into the BIOS?
    As far as I know, this unit uses a Phoenix BIOS so you must press the F2 key immediately after switching on. Press the "F2" key several times to make sure that the option has been enabled.

    The alternative to boot from the CD/DVD drive is using the C key. The same procedure here: press the C key immediately after starting the laptop.
    (the CD must be inserted before you start)

  • Satellite L500 - keyboard idle after the mode 'sleep'

    Satellite L500, Windows 7, keyboard become idle after waking up from his sleep. Restarting solves the problem.

    Help would be welcome please!

    Hey William,

    That s odd, but in my opinion you should try a BIOS update. BIOS version latest for your laptop, you can download from the Toshiba page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But let me give you a little advice: update of the BIOS is always a bit risky so make sure that you are logged on as administrator. In addition, extract all the files from zip archive and close all programs running (also AntiVirus).

    By the way: you use pre-installed Windows 7 in Toshiba or did you do your own installation of Windows?

  • IdeaPad Y400 keyboard broken after installation of Ubuntu. Sent in, Lenovo has sent back still broken.

    I have a Y400 Ideapad, purchased in December 2012, delivered with Windows 8. He has recently due to a malfunction after trying to install Ubuntu as a secondary OS. It was very difficult to get installed Ubuntu because UEFI and Secure Boot really tried to stop him, but I have finally installed it and the two operating systems, has been working for about 24 hours. Then, Ubuntu was able to start. On several occasions. Then I started Windows and it seemed that he was working again, except that from time to time when I tried typing, the keyboard type keys I had not touched and then stop responding for about 30 seconds. After that, it would still work for a little while.

    I ran OneKey Recovery to try to solve this problem, wiping my hard drive and reinstall Windows 8 from scratch. Still doesn't solve it. He actually glitched once while I was still setting to the top of my Windows profile, before he had even started for the first time.

    So I sent my laptop for Lenovo and, a week later, they sent back with a new keyboard (despite me telling them that it probably wasn't the problem). He worked for the next few days, but as of today, he started glitching again, much. I don't want to send my laptop for Lenovo again because I need for the class I'm taking. Also, when they sent it the first time, they have not even put it together right. The rear panel was not at bottom, and panel below which was actually folded so that one of its tabs fit on the side of my laptop instead of being inside.

    I really need to solve this problem, but I'm doubting the capacity of Lenovo to do, and I don't want keep it will send if it simply means that I won't have a laptop for 1-2 weeks and then I'll get it broken back yet more. Also, I need even Ubuntu, even if they do not fix it then I have to reinstall Ubuntu and it will probably break again. Not to mention, they will probably wipe my data from it.

    Found a thread discussing this:

    http://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/IdeaPad-Y400-keyboard-auto-typing-and-out-o...

    Turns, the Y400s have a defect. If you select always "on USB" in the BIOS / menu UEFI, it messes up your keyboard. I have activated it when I was trying to get my computer to recognize a USB boot.

    I'm surprised a Lenovo support is not already aware of it. I talked to Lenovo about a dozen employees, including a supervisor and a representative of the customer relationship and no one suggested she could relate to my BIOS settings.

  • computer laptop 15-ac055nr: update the keys died after Windows10 1511

    Hello, after 'agreeing' Win10 two nights back cumulative update 1511 - all my keyboard shortcuts do not work as expected. Most of them do nothing and at least 2 do something other than advertised... seems this 'problem' arrived on the latest updates of OS (Win 7 or 8 Win), don't know if the previous solutions apply here-> but nothing out on the internet yet about Win10 and this problem.

    Expect Microsoft to say, HP HP problem call. Expect HP to tell me Win10 question... classic update Microsoft call h/w - game of chickens and eggs from s/w.

    Any ideas how to recover the shortcut keys? Laptop is quite popular multimedia streamer at home in the evening, so sad to lose the volume controls and screen... you don't know where all that is soft but in settings either. Thnx!

    Well, I can answer my own post!

    My laptop is new, only 2 months so I used option support guaranteed HP.

    More explicit problem behavior is as such: 12 fn keys, 11 were shortened assignment by updating Windows HP. 10 wiped out all HP keyboard shortcut definitions and reallocated to 2 keys to go to windows start menu and help page for Google chrome (weird!).

    Based on another similar question, I had already drilled in the Device Manager settings and HP support had me crushes the keyboard driver (which is only a 2006 pilot PS/2... seems old)... so no surprise driver setting did nothing...

    HP support had me then download and flash the BIOS... as strange as the PC architecture still using a file of 2048 kb to disk BIOS system boot... who did it! I must say that I did not regularly updates the BIOS of the PC manufacturing and it's always the small nail little bite of the to do because it can make a device does not work if it does not stick...

    Thus, it seems that the native HP keyboard shortcut assignment was reset correctly with the BIOS flash, which was totally cool as flashing the BIOS is the only way to see 'the good "ol days' settings screen monochrome low color with large fonts polyhedral. Hey I was already a student in second year at College when the first laboratory of PC with Win 3.1 and mice showed up to plant the day on the BACK and numbered menu selection to launch the 5 or 6 software loading to a PC... the good ' ol days.

    Problem solved! Thank you HP support!

  • Mouse and keyboard hangs after windows startup

    After you start the system and windows from (varies from 20 to 60 seconds), the mouse and keyboard lock on the screen.  In fact, the mice moves but will not interact with anything.  I have not installed new programs or hardware recently.  They both seem to work fine in safe mode.  I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  Updates are almost common but cannot update in safe mode and locks upwards in reg mode.   I run a scan completes and it came with nothing.  I tried to restore to a previous state but he locked himself in the process and now it shows no restore points.  I guess it's a software problem, but would like to receive suggestions.  Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    I appreciate your patience.

    It is regrettable that you have lost the little things while doing the factory reset.

    However, it is always recommended to backup personal files before reset or clean install.

    It is good that the keyboard and mouse are working now.

    Please do not hesitate to answer, if you have other problems with Windows.

    Thank you

  • Keyboard freezes after Suspend in Ubuntu 16.04 on Satellite S-50 d-A-10F

    Hello

    I use a Toshiba Satellite S-50 d-A-10F with Ubuntu 16.04. Every time the laptop wakes from sleep mode, the keyboard no longer works. A reboot is required to restart.

    I searched on the Ubuntu Forums, and it seems that the problem is related to the keyboard driver, but I was not able to find a Linux driver for this model.

    Is there a solution to this problem, or computers notebooks Toshiba are not compatible with Linux?

    Thank you

    Murray

    I'd be curious to know what state 16.04 Ubuntu is awakening to. It is after you have closed the lid of the laptop or after the black screen after a long period of inactivity? I guess that once you start Ubuntu, the keyboard works correctly. If so, the software that surrounds the keyboard probably working properly. The mouse work after suspension?

    I saw messages emphasizing that, in some cases, automatic keyboard detection does not take place after resumption of a suspension. Although I would have thought that Ubuntu 16.04 took care of that, useful search words can be resume autodetect keyboard.

  • Satellite L855 - 12N - keyboard problem after upgrade to Windows 10

    Greetings friends,
    the problem goes like this: I have a TOSHIBA satellite, L855-12N, Series notebook.

    After updrading to win 10, some of my keys (a, n, enter) did not work initially.
    If I wait for awhile, they start work later.
    I find that I continue to press a button, (for example the button "a") for a long time, I see that he started to answer, then stop again and then answer - stop, until finally it works OK.
    I tried to update the drivers, uninstall and then reinstall, but it doesn't seem to work.
    Anyone know what's going on, or have any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    You are 100% it's a matter of Windows 10?
    Looks more like a hardware problem, keyboard should replace.

    Go into the BIOS and test the keyboard in there.
    If it goes into the BIOS and then replace the keyboard.

    If it's a software problem, try uninstalling the driver for the touchpad Control Panel, then reinstall it via Windows Update.
