Keyboard on V7-482PG problems

The two shift keys on the keyboard of my laptop are randomlynot registration. I've confirmed that this is a problem with the keyboard itself by 1) to install the latest drivers for the whole system, 2) make sure I'm on the last update of the BIOS, 3) ensure there is no software to intercept the key activation and 4) using an external keyboard to determine if she also had good isuses, and if keys would register when I used shift key on the laptop (they did). When the keys are not working, they only work for a short stem; After a random amount of pressure on the keys, they start to fail to register. Some keys cause ('j', for example) it happens faster than others, and no key seems to be usable indefinitely, without causing the shift keys who fails to register. As far as I can tell, this is a matter which does not extend to the two shift keys on the keyboard.

Normally I would RMA the laptop and wait for a replacement, but I'm a student in a computer science program and absolutely can't go more than a day without my cell phone. I can do pretty well so far with my external keyboard, but I can't use it in conferences to take notes, so he quickly becomes a problem. For this reason, I want to try to find a solution that I can use to temporarily fix the issue until the end of the semester, after which I can RMA system. Is there a such available fix, or I'm stuck with a defective system until mid-December?

On EBay it y of keyboards available in China and the Canada. They may or may not agree. It doesn't seem to be available for the V & anywhere guaid disassembly.

    Hi guys, can anyone help? Last July the keyboard on my NB100 developed a fault. The keys U, I, O, J, K, L and M when you press a given 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 numbers.

    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? ¦

  • Satellite C660-28 d - keyboard and touch pad problems

    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.

  • 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 A210 - keyboard, touchpad, battery, boot problems

    Hello

    Satellite A210 age of less than twelve months.

    1. the speakers had problem - ASP replaced the motherboard, but now the volume is still very low, even when it is 100%. All parameters controlled and seem to agree. How to fix?

    2. do not always start battery as it is constantly flat. Laptop went to ASP which replaced the motherboard (again) and put the new battery. Now it is always best to run the laptop power adapter the battery loses still fresh. If unplugged from mains battery going flat all night?

    3. has refused to start with the power button, talking to ASP who advised to reformat the PC - fact, but problem remained

    4. reformatted much more time and finally returned to ASP that now the keyboard did not always work either. ASP has replaced the motherboard (which is now the third), but has not solved the problem and the keyboard. Still not having not battery

    5. the day I return A210, touchpad did not work. Talked to ASP which gave me a lot of options to try, including turn it off and wait 30 minutes, which is not done. He returned in ASP which says that there is nothing wrong with him?

    How can I set the power and touchpad problem?
    Gave up the drums and speakers
    .
    Maybe someone else that ASP can give me an answer please. All I want is to be able to use my laptop and do all the usual things a PC, sound, keyboard, power batteries and do not always put in a USB mouse.

    Help appreciated

    > I tried the volume button on the front of the laptop, and it does not the speakers all stronger. I wouldn't know how to go into BIOS to change things.
    In the BIOS, you cannot change these settings. I guess that this issue has something to do with the previous motherboard replacement.

    > Do I need to get a person who makes a PC run to change?
    I think you should communicate with guys that have changed are repaired this laptop and should explain the problems that appears after change of motherboard.

  • Satellite A200 - 1CR PSAE0E - keyboard after installing XP problem

    Yesterday, that I changed my OS to XP SP2. And now I have problem with keyboard - sliders and delete key work inproperly.

    Usually, when you stop now a key, she stops typing or move the slider to the screen - now when I get a cursor for a while, then stop and I have to wait until it stops. Other keys work fine.

    This problem appeared not on vista.

    Please help with it, I can't play any games. I have the standard xp keyboard driver. Are there different or software keyboard drivers? I don't think I've forgotten something when changing os - display installed, sound, lan, wlan, driver controls (not sure exactly what is this to), t - pad, flashcard, modem to other ideas?

    Sorry for my bad English. waiting for your response.

    Hello!

    The keyboard is no driver or additional software available. It part of the operating system.

    In your case I would try it with an external keyboard and mouse.
    In addition, in Control Panel, you can set up different things.

    Good bye

  • Microsoft Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth problem

    I have had and used the Elite and Intellimouse keyboard for many years.  My keyboard has recently developed a problem. I am able to recognize and install it, but it does not 'Connected', such as the IntelliMouse. Or it does not show recently used. The only information shown in the Bluetooth Panel is Microsoft Keyboard and password activated.

    The mouse shows Microsoft Mouse, no password, connected.

    When I select the keyboard and click on properties, then on services, the drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID) box is not checked. I check it, then hit apply, and I get the error Service Bluetooth "access denied."

    I was able to install the keyboard on another computer and it works fine.  The support of bluetooth and bluetooth services seem to work fine as well.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for the keyboard and the mouse and the mouse still works fine but no resolution on the keyboard. I am running XP SP3 on my computer, and it has all the latest updates and drivers that I can find.  In addition, I was the software updates when the keyboard stop working.  Very well, I was typing a moment and the next day, that he had just left.

    Suggestions on how to proceed?

    After almost 7 months together trying to figure out this I finally got mine to work! After reading the post from Yawp73, I didn't uninstall my old version of Microsoft Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth and reinstalled the latest version of Microsoft. When I went to add devices and I saw the keyboard icon, click on it instead and press 'next' to put in the passcode, I right click it and went to properties, then services and CHECKED the box for the drivers for keyboard, mice, etc.. After hitting applied, my elite keyboard started working without even putting a pass code! YES! THANKS Yawp73!  I really hope that it works for everyone because this question drove me INSANE! Good luck!!!
