Keyboard ThinkPad E430 problem

Hello

I have a Thinkpad E430 (type 3254). It is around the age of 14 months. Yesterday, he randomly started having a problem with his keyboard. It acts like the Enter key is pressed continuously, and about 1 sec after clicking another button, it stops. The key entry by itself stopped work shorts and only sometimes and translates a continuous press.

As soon as I start, enter has entrance and start normal is interrupted. If I press a key it is normal again until an operating system load. By example, if I start debian, line breaks get inserted between the console enter messages that are displayed until I have a press and if I boot windows, it gets stuck on the login screen that is given without the password, so a loop is executed. This problem also sometimes randomly while working normally.

The keyboard has not yet seen use intense or any other drink spills. Usually, I keep the laptop at my desk and use an external keyboard. The last time I took it was 2 weeks ago.

All the world is facing this issue before? I doubt, it may be a software problem, so I need a new keyboard?

Thanks for the help.

ook so that nobody knows or don't bother. Anyway, I solved it and I'll leave it here.

I called lenovo helpline, and they told me to remove the power supply and the battery and then keep the power button pressed for 2 x 30 seconds. It seems that the drainage load static on the motherboard. It helped but only for a few minutes. Last night, I drained the battery at 5% and the question is now gone. I recharged to 100%, and the system is normal.

I don't know what caused it, but it might have something to do with the power manager Lenovo, which I recently installed.

  • ThinkPad E430 - unable to connect to a G router

    Hello

    I bought a brand new ThinkPad E430 (i3, 4 GB RAM) with Windows 8 64-bit pre-installed. While the machine works fine (my only complaint is a short battery life - only 3 hours or so on "Balanced" plan that contains no serious task on), he doesn't want to connect to my router, Asus RT - G32 (Rev. B1) (only B/G modes are supported).

    The router is 100% error free (I have several computers and phones on it and everything works fine), but my most recent computer does just not with it. It connects, but only "in part". Some Web sites to work, but after a while, they stop working, and Gmail Talk and Skype, for example, never connect at Wi - Fi access (on the cable, everything works perfectly).

    I've tried about every router configuration (channels, wireless "54G" only mode, the value change WPA to WPA2 connection, etc.) and I played with Win 8 care arrangements (N disabled mode, only G active), but nothing seems to work for more than a few minutes.

    Now, everything is by default back and I'm back on the cable.

    Somene please indicate if there is something else to try? BTW, I connected the computer to the N router at my girlfriends place, and it works well. Only, he refuses to work on my G router.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Henrik

    Hi again,

    Given that the computer works well on your girlfriend N router, the problem may reside in the technology of the router itself. The router you are using is running on a single 2.4 GHz frequency band, which was very common. So common, in fact, that there many things that can cause interference. Routers newer, such as a/b/g/n devices, use of 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz dual-band frequencies. The experience you had with the N Router makes me think that, to obtain maximum performance and the tip of your wireless experience, a router capability a/b/g/n dual band may be necessary.

  • Keyboard Thinkpad yoga 12 has no effective keys

    Hello forum Lenovo.

    I need help with my new Lenovo thinkpad, a Yoga 12.

    I have a problem with the keyboard, missing keys that are required for efficient use. It is my only problem with the laptop but enough to have me consider getting a refund.

    It should be possible to resolve these issues through software or registry hacks, I could use some suggestions as to how:

    1. no NumLock key, it would be great if I could put this on Fn + DELETE and put the pad on Fn + {common keys any laptop uses for these}

    2. right ALT does not cause for different symbols as is usually the case

    3. There is no context menu key, I would put this on the current PrtSc key

    4. left Ctrl and Fn key should probably change places

    (5. I could do with start and end on the left/right arrows)

    I already searched the means to do so, all I found was a way to remap the keys, but not to create new combinations of keys without running the software permanently.

    Any help in getting these basic necessities would be great, and I hope that my post will be less ignored that others complain about the keyboard.

    Regarding your point 4:

    4. left Ctrl and Fn key should probably change places

    This is an option in the BIOS. Press F1 at startup, go to config and the keyboard/mouse (sorry it's memory the wording might be different) and to allow the Exchange.

    With regard to your point 2:

    2. right ALT does not cause for different symbols as is usually the case

    I'm not sure I understand, but you will get a different behavior from the left and right keys ALT if you set up a United States-international keyboard in Windows for example. Is that what you mean by Alt - Gr? If yes then it probably has to do with your keyboard layout in windows, rather than with the Thinkpad.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi, syl4s

    I did some research and found this thread which can be useful. Another user did something similar, but with a different system. The solution that worked for this user was a pilot of power requiring an update. This links directly to the solution, even if the entire thread has some good information. Update the driver should work for you, but let me know just in case it is not.

  • Trackpad and keyboard Macbook Pro problem

    Hello

    It's been a few months that I have a problem with my Macbook Pro, indeed the trackpad doesn't work at all and the well-tempered clavier from time to time (duty to restart).

    MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end of 2013)

    OS X El Captain version 10.11.5

    I saw that Apple had released a patch pour these problems: this update is recommended pour MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end 2013) models. It solves a problem of non-response of the keyboard and the trackpad multi-touch integrated.

    But I can't install the update because it is no longer supported...

    Do you have a solution?

    Many thanks,

    Kind regards

    Hi BryanBouws,

    Can try you every night (20 of Firefox) and Aurora (19 Firefox) and report back here if things work out for you?

    On every night and Aurora, we recently approached a number of keyboard related issues and both must have a number of bugs.

    You can find every available at: http://nightly.mozilla.org with an Android download link at the bottom.

    In addition, you can find Aurora for Android to: http://aurora.mozilla.org

    Let us know if every night or Aurora solves your problems.

  • Satellite A110: keyboard, touchpad, power problems

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A110, purchased a few months before. In recent weeks, it started randomly locking the keyboard and the touchpad (with or without external mouse plugged - although an external mouse still works).

    Now there is power to the top of the issues, with the suspended system Bios Toshiba screen, can fully initialize maybe once in five.
    Acquisition of wireless network is also very temperamental. I tried this software I can think (new drivers/virus scan/uninstall-reinstall), with the exception of a reinstall full backup disk Toshiba.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think we should first find out if the problem is software or hardware related.
    In this case the installation of the operating system with the Toshiba Recovery CD is recommended.
    After installation, the laptop should work without worries.

    But if the unit will hang and not start properly there could be something wrong with the hardware.
    I think that your warranty is valid and in this case you should always contact the ASP in your county for a check.

  • 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?

    Post edited by: dacostamedeiros

    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

    > I reinstalled all the cd drivers Toshiba but stil some of the keys on the keyboard do not work good...
    > I noticed that some of the keys are on different locations like on a Dutch keyboard.

    The point is that you have installed windows OS in the language of the Netherlands, but the laptop uses the UK keyboard layout.
    Therefore, change to a different language keyboard layout if the keyboard is set to the language of the Netherlands, then you should change this to English UK!

    Go to control panel-> regional and Language Options-> languages-> text services and input languages tab, click details

    There you can add or change the language

  • 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 L655D-12-keyboard and mouse problems

    My apologies if this has developed before, but I found nothing during a search. I bought the L655 computer laptop (PSK1NE) in October with Windows 7 HP and all recently I noticed a problem more and more frequent with the mouse and keyboard that goes with the computer touchpad portable & k/b and one mouse USB k/b. The focus seems to jump around especially in IE9 when you try to type in the form. If you are not looking at the screen while typing it becomes annoying, because you look up to find that half of the sentence suddenly moved and is currently seized several lines far where you started among previous typescript. Sometimes, when you click on another window or program it seems to be inactive and no amount of click with the left button will generate any action, but by using the right button on the mouse or the Touchpad, this seems to correct the problem. Restart seems to help a bit but then the problem returns.

    I have read similar problems in the United States where they have a V2 of the BIOS, even though I have the latest version of the BIOS update for Europe 1.6, it suggests that this is a problem and not unique to my laptop or adjustment. I tried to remove the battery, as he suggested, maybe that's a problem, but the problem persists.

    Is there a solution for this?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Your courier sporadically jumps somewhere else?
    I think you want to disable the touchpad while typing!

    It is a reason why the cursor jumped on another line

  • Start-up of Thinkpad R60 problems

    I had turned on my Thinkpad R60 morning to check certain emails and left for work. When I got home, the laptop screen was black, and I assumed that it had frozen on the screen saver. However, when I tried to restart the computer, the computer starts to turn on and then let a series of 4 beeps, one per second all the same length. The screen is still the same ordinary black color. If someone can tell me what to do about this problem I would be very happy. Thank you!

    I hope that your ThinkPad is still under warranty, because she needs a new card system based on HMM, due to the failure of security chip.

  • ThinkPad T510 problem with the CPU frequency

    Hello
    I was a problem with the CPU frequency - in DC or battery it works 1/2 frequency (1196 MHz), but when my thinkpad plugged and is with battery it works OK (2400 MHz).
    Do you have any suggestions how to solve this problem.

    ThinkPad T510 (4384) intel core i5, 6 GB of Ram.
    Thank you.
    Best regards Nikolay

    What your seeing is actually normal and a result of power management settings. When it is on battery, the reduced CPU clock speed to improve the battery life and only increases in speed if a program requires processing power (games, adobe photoshop, CAD, etc.). If you wish, you can disable this feature by setting the "maximum performance" option in the Lenovo power management program and get into the bios and disable "Intel Speedstep" and similar power options setting. I hope this helps.
