Keyboard Satellite A300 problem

I saw a lot of problems of keyboard with the series 'A' here, but not like this. In the middle of a chat session my keyboard getting different letters as I type. Worse, even the key enter got transposed to a different key, the 'h' Hey. So now I can not connect to windows because all keys are flawed. I could enter the repair system that Vista comes with and set it to the American keyboard type. The same problem. I even tried to load Linux, but the problem starts when the computer does, so I can't yet start the restore CD

Please let know us if any of you have seen this before. I'm going to call Toshiba technical support shortly, but I wanted to see if anyone of you had seen this before. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi mate

I think that the issue cannot be resolved using the recovery disk
For me it seems that this problem of keyboard would also happen outside the Windows OS, it means that this has nothing to do with the software, the keyboard driver, etc.

I think it's a hardware problem simple keyboard and I think you should ask the ASP in your country for replacement of s.

A300 should always be covered by the guarantee, so the laptop must be set free

Good luck and good weekend.

  • Satellite A300 problem with Touch/set of keys

    Hi all

    I have a relatively new Satellite A300 which was my serve. After turning on my laptop this morning, I found that the buttons of reading/Touch (the mute, play, stop, keys etc. which are located above the function keys) no longer work. The keys lights not when I turned on the computer first and did not work. After restarting my laptop, they have now come on, but do not work. Other software like Windows Media Player still work. If all goes well, can someone give me a race step by step through how to fix this, as I am not very familiar with the use of the computer? Very much appreciated!

    On an additional note, I don't think I ran these latest updates which could have caused this?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    Generally these buttons should if the VAP added Value Package is reinstalled, but try it please roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool.
    You can find under the menu start > all programs > Accessories > system tools.

    Just roll back day or two back and test of functionality again.

  • Satellite A300 - problem of touchpad and keyboard

    Hello I have a problem.

    The first time I start the computer, the touch pad and the keyboard Don t run, and I need to connect a usb mouse to restart the computer. And in the second time, the keyboard and the touchpad to work correctly.

    I have a Toshiba A300 and I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
    This who could I do to fix this?
    My English is very bad, but I hope you understand me and that you can help me.

    Greetings!

    According to your message, you have to restart the laptop in order to get the keyboard and the touchpad works properly.
    There may be something wrong with the drivers for the keyboard and the touchpad
    As a first idea I would recommend to update the operating system.
    This means that you should check if a new installation of the OS could solve this problem.

    Keyboard driver is part of the Windows OS, so I think this should be verified.

  • Keyboard satellite 2430 problem when press z,?, Fn or the arrow keys

    When one of these keys are pressed (z,?, Fn or the arrow keys), the cursor control mode light will light up and the keyboard no longer works. In addition, the context menu of the application randomly appears and disappears, and when I'm using a text editor, writes \z repeatedly. The cursor moves the cursor moves out of control across the screen.

    I tried to disconnect the internal keyboard and use an external, but I still have this problem. I also tried a complete reinstall with the recovery CD, but the problem persists. Any idea?

    Hello
    If the problem persists after the installation of recovery is certainly the hardware problem. The strange is that problem with external keyboard too and I'm afraid that any replacement keyboard on the laptop will not solve this.

    I recommend you contact the partner Service of your country, and they can check if the keyboard controller is defective. If you need address, you can find them under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A300 - replacement for the keyboard button problem

    Satellite A300 broken my number key 3.
    Easy to fix but still Toshiba have charged me £43 to replace it with a new full keyboard.
    It is less than 6 months old and still under warranty.

    What an absolute joke, I wouldn't have another toshiba again.

    > What an absolute joke, I wouldn't have another Toshiba again.
    Well, it is your personal opinion but I agree.

    However, if you understand something about laptops so you'd know that the single button can not be replaced.
    Only the CAP can be replaced but not the button on the keyboard, and thus the entire keyboard needs to be replaced!

    In addition, the guarantee only covers hardware problems that are not caused by laptop user I n don't know why the button on your keyboard is broken (maybe you was your fault) but I think that you have contacted the ASP in your country and talked to the technician then why you didn't explain that it wasn't your fault?

    In any case, the case should be clear now

  • Satellite A300 - touchpad & keyboard issues

    I have the same problem that a lot of people is faced with (PSAG8E - 05J00TEN Toshiba Satellite A300 - 21H). I'm sure that the touchpad is not disabled.
    Clean installation of Windows VISTA - touchpad & keyboard half the time not work half the time. I'm sure this isn't a driver problem (if it doesn't not Device Manager said was a problem with the device..). I already tried 5 different drivers...
    I am faced with the question since I bought it... I thought that there could be problem with OS, today I installed UBANTU but face question (Mouse pad stops after some time) with this OS too... I'm sure that its hardware problem not with OS or any driver...

    Please can someone is there any solution for this...

    I have Satellite A300-1LI and it is also PASG8E but I n t notice a keyboard or touchpad problem. At the beginning I used it with the original image of Vista, but about a year now, I use Windows XP Home edition and Win7 as dual-boot. No problem at all.

    If you have noticed this strange problem from day one, why you didn t contacted Toshiba service and asked for help?
    I can imagine there is a hardware problem but I put t know what you want to do all alone on this subject. want to trade you the keyboard or the touchpad only.

    Replacement of keyboard is not a big problem but the touchpad...

  • The use of symbols on the right keyboard on Satellite A300?

    I have recently purchesed a Toshiba Satellite A300.
    The details of the system are as follows:
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5850 2.16 GHz GHZ 2.17
    Operating system: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit.
    Memory Ram: 3.00 GB.

    Anywho, it costs 879 Euro + shipping and handling. The problem is the keyboard. The keyboard language is set to English (United States). For who knows what reason, some of the keys are not their symbol/function/number designed.

    For example, in order to make the symbol "@" I have to use the sequence of corresponding keys SHIFT + ','
    But when I press SHIFT + 2 I get "
    I can't understand why, but I can not even operate. A large number of keys are out of whack. I have not hit what, I only got it more than a week. It cost me a lot, and I can't seem to find support. I got a technician to look at it, but he was unable to understand.

    I tried holding SHIFT ALTGR and pressing INSERT and everything but nothing helps.

    Please, I need to understand how can I ressolve this problem, I can't access one of my email accounts, because I can't understand what is wrong with the keyboard.

    my email address is [email protected]

    Hello

    The solution is simple. You need to change the keyboard to English UK language.

    I think that its hardware problem.
    To confirm this, connect an external USB keyboard and test functionality.
    If it's working properly, your internal keyboard is the troublemaker.

  • Satellite A300-243 - keyboard and touchpad has stopped working

    Hello everyone

    I have a serious problem in my Satellite A300-243. I installed a driver for external keyboard using a CD and once I rebooted both keyboard and touchbpad stopped working and to make any order, when I reached the vista welcome page.
    What should I do because you know that even if I can't get into the windows to uninstall this driver.

    Any way to do during windows startup?

    Hello

    Why you installed a driver for external keyboard? I've never heard of such drivers

    Anyway, you should try to start in safe mode and then you are able to remove driver external keyboard to the list of software. After I restarted in normal mode, the keyboard and the touchpad should work properly again.

  • Satellite A300 - 1 5: keyboard and touchpad not working

    I have problem with keyboard and touchpad. Laptop satellite A300 - 1 5

    I have Vista home premium and when I turn on the computer, I put password in the user box then my keyboard and the touchpad do not work.

    In the Bios my keyboard work but when Vista starts it doesn't have.

    How to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all, please check the status of the device in Device Manager.
    Please check if the keyboard and touchpad are listed correctly without any yellow exclamation point.

    But you should try to reinstall the drivers again, even if the keyboard and the touchpad have been recognized correctly.
    In this case I recommend to remove the keyboard and the touchpad Device Manager, and then you must restart the computer once more.

    After Vista has restarted the two devices should be recognized again and should work.

    Please check this!
