Keyboard on Satellite L730 problems

Hi guys need some advice on how to tackle this problem... I'm not that old L730, my cat sitting on the keyboard and now sometimes I have to press certain keys twice (not all keys including those) to operate... it is when it happens, I restart the laptop and its fine, but next time I have restart his went back to being a pain ,
I noticed that my language settings have changed since the English Australia (US) on the United States in English (US)... would this be causing the problem.

By the way, have replaced the keyboard... ran scans as its no fun and updated all the drivers... This laptop is clean as a whistle, so to speak...

Thanks for any help you can provide...

> I noticed that my language settings have changed since the English Australia (US) on the United States in English (US)... would this be causing the problem.

I don t think that this could provoke the question because the keyboard language settings would only change the keyboard layout.
However, if you want to you can go back to the previous language.

Microsoft has released beautiful instruction how to change these settings:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/258824/en-us

But as I said above, it doesn't look like the problem was related to this setting.
There is probably a hardware keyboard problem and you need to replace the keyboard in order to get the buttons working properly.

  • A key on keyboard on Satellite L100 problem

    Bought my L100 Satellite in July last year. Problem is that I need a lot more pressure to press the key 'a' all the others. How can I fix?

    Can I get the keyboard to check why it is almost blocked? I had no problem when I bought this laptop.

    If you remove all of the keyboard you will lose the warranty and I would not risk the guarantee because of the unique keyboard key.

    But you can remove the unique key of the keyboard Plug and check if there is dirt or something else with a bad influence for the key mechanism.

    For a replacement keyboard, you will need to contact the service partner in your country? ¦

  • Keyboard on Satellite A200 problem

    Hi, while hoping a bit of insight into what the problem may be with my Satellite A200.

    It started with one single key works does not, then one other has stopped working. Then I would press a key, but it would come with a different letter on the screen. Then it got really bad, I couldn't use the keyboard at all because of the random letters would seem I typed, eventually escalating to the point where letters would appear constantly on the screen when the keyboard has not been affected.

    Tried to uninstall and reinstall driver, did not help. Tried a usb keyboard which was great until tonight. Usb keyboard or the laptop keyboard are working when tapped, yet sometimes random letters appear on the screen.

    I was ready to replace the keyboard if it was just a problem of keyboard, but now I'm wondering if it might be the motherboard. Everyone knows the same or similar problem?

    Nothing has been spilled on the keyboard.

    Thanks for your help.

    It's very confusing when the keyboard USB doesn t work too. At first, I thought faulty keyboard, it must be, but I'm afraid there is a serious hardware problem and I don't think you can fix it alone.

    I recommend you contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

  • Strange keyboard on Satellite M211 problem

    Hello!

    I'm Belgian and my English is not perfect, then, first of all I would like to apologize for this.

    I have a Satellite M211 of China (QWERTY keyboard) and I don't know what happened, but yesterday when I'm on to use it, I discovered that the keyboard has completely changed (when I type '9' are '39' coming, when I hit 8 here "87" to come,...), all the keys have changed and it is impossible for me to use the keyboard.

    I noticed that there was a light under the 'F10', and it was new, as when the keyboard is normal this light won t.
    So I want to know how can I solve this problem of keyboard and turn off the light (I already try to 'Fn' 'F10', this does not work).

    Thank you

    I don't know how it works on the Chinese notebook models but you try using FN + F10 or maybe FN + F11. It is important to disable this LED and a built-in keyboard.

    When activated, the keys with the grey wire marking on their lower edge are either pad keys (FN + F11) or the keys (FN + F10) slider control.

  • Strange keyboard on Satellite M40 problems

    My Toshiba M40 has been giving me problems keyboard quite frequently. I funny characters like NB¬A
    When I press the left SHIFT key and then the keyboard starts abnormal behavior:

    1. He moved to uppercase mode - to type letters more low, I actually have to use the caps lock.
    2. I can't use the SHIFT key to type the special characters figures.
    3. by clicking on the menu bar gives me a different effect, as if the SHIFT key is down already as it is not.
    4. press the button right shift takes me to the "Save" option
    5. I can't select a file or folder as several of them selected at the same time.

    And then let fall, shut down the computer (it does not restart at this time)
    After a while, the computer starts normally, but I'm never sure when it will start to behave badly again.
    Read about the update of the bios, so I got mine upgraded to version 1.7 of the toshiba Web site (this is the most recent they had for machines with ATI graphics card).
    Sometimes, I use an external keyboard when the problem occurs repeatedly.

    would appreciate advice on how to overcome this software / hardware problem.

    Hey Ashok,

    It is not easy to say what is causing this strange behavior, especially since it also occurs with an external keyboard. One clue is that the laptop does not restart once you stop it unless leave you for a short period. This suggests that the unit is overheating and that it may well have an impact on the unit that is causing your problems.

    I suggest that you try to give the laptop a clean to remove any accumulation of dust and debris from radiator CPU.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite L730 - Bluetooth problem after upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello. I use a portable Satellite L730 and the only thing that would prevent me from upgrading to Windows 10 is the problem of Bluetooth. RFHID, RFCOMM and RFBUS will not work properly because there are no drivers. Apart from that, the computer there is no requirement of meeting problem Windows 10.

    So is it possible that a sollution to this problem will be provided anytime soon?

    Hello

    In most cases, BT does not work due to lack of BT software.
    The point is that most laptops use a module for WLan and BT.
    This combo module WLan/BT requires additional driver filter...

    According to your WLan / module BT, you will need to install the filter for the BT driver package.
    In most cases the 8 Win / filter package 8.1 Bluetooth driver should work under Win 10...

    But you have to watch for the manufacturer of modules... There are different modules like Atheros, Intel or Realtek

    Hello

    I just bought a new laptop (satellite L730) and according to the instructions, I tried to follow the 6 steps of quick installation included in the instructions.

  • Satellite L730-A191 - random stop

    I have laptop Satellite L730 - A191 (PSK0CV) that have a stop at random, in safe mode it seems ok, but when it starts in normal mode I experience the problem. When installing the OS is running it will restart all of a sudden that's why no operating system installed. I already removed the battery, restored bios defaults to 1.8 version but still problem exist.

    More can I be from material aside as chipset VGA?

    Thanks in advance

    I guess that there is a hardware problem because stop all behavior common portable system installation isn t.

    Usually the unit would be closed due to a higher internal temperature but its weird that this happens during the installation of the system. Usually, this would happen when running some applications of high performance (IE game).

    I think it might be a hardware related problem, but it's just a personal opinion.

  • Replacement keyboard on Satellite L350

    A clumsy friend spilled a glass of red wine on my L350 weekend which resulted in my keyboard malfunctioned.
    No problem, I don't think should be easy to get a replacement and mount it.

    However, as I took the original keyboard of the laptop I am concerned that I have damaged the connection and my replacement does not work when it arrives.

    Basically, the black part of the connector has broken - does anyone know if this is considered part of the laptop or that it will be shipped with a replacement keyboard?

    Any idea where I can get a replacement for the part black, if necessary.

    Any advice would be fantastic.

    Thank you.

    > Basically, the black part of the connector broke - does anyone know if this is considered part of the laptop or that it will be shipped with a replacement keyboard?

    I m not very well what part you mean.
    Usually, the keyboard is connected to the connector s motherboard with a flat cable.
    Do you mean the cable?

    If so, then the cable is part of the keyboard and the new cable should arrive with the new keyboard. But the connector on the motherboard is not removable, and if you damage this part, you will need to replace the mobo ;(

    I'm not really a tech head and fight with it.

    I have a Toshiba satellite C660 28 T.

    Hello

    With regard to the problem of keyboard:

    From my point of view of the few sounds of keyboard described as a material problem internal related dysfunction... probably in order to solve this problem, the keyboard should be replaced... just to make sure that your internal keyboard is affected, please join the external USB keyboard and check if it works properly.
    If you see any problems, the problem is no doubt by a malfunctioning internal keyboard and as mentioned earlier, you will need to replace the keyboard.

    Regarding the touchpad:

    I'm not sure if the two issues are interrelated, but the touchpad can be disabled by using the function keys... I recommend you to check this... (function key details are also in the user manual)... you can also try reinstalling the touchpad drive.

    Tip: this forum contains many discussions about similar problems... so I recommend you to read the recommendations posted in this community.

  • Strange keyboard on my Satellite 2450 problem

    My Satellite 2450 system unit model ps245l-03H7YP made in the Philippines has problem. First 3 characters in my keyboards can operate (4.6 and space). After 1 week my Satellite cannot work, whenever I turn on the computer I have a Word? Check the system. Then press the [F1] key.

    Hello

    For me, it's like something wrong with the internal keyboard or only with the keyboard controller.
    Maybe it's only one loses the keyboard cable but it's only a sugestion.
    Unfortunately, I don't think that you will be able to solve this problem without any help.
    I think you should ask the Toshiba service partner in your country for assistance and advice.
