• T410 CTRL key does not work after update BIOS to 1.45 (German keyboard)

  Dear community,

  I updated the BIOS of my TP T410 (2522), German keyboard, to 1.45. After the update, both CTRL keys don't work anymore. Ditto for the AltGr key. When I switch to CTRL FN in the FN key BIOS - as supposed - works like the CTRL key. But when I turn off again the FN returns to his good funtion and CTRL does not work.

  When I connect an external keyboard via USB it works perfectly.

  Any suggestions how get the CTRL key works again?

  Best regards, Simon

  Hello

  turns out be a hardware fault. Swapped keyboard and it works again.

• CTRL key does not work as expected

  Original title: keyboard Help!
   
  There is a recurring issue going on with my keyboard or very probably my pc...
  Well first to start with - I use a software type "ventrilo" called "mumble" that uses the 'CTRL' key as a key to talk with others in the same precedente.* *-could be a reason
  My CTRL key seems really screw randomly until that moment, it turn on sticky keys [where ctrl has practically been pressed permanently] even if it is not enabled on the settings... which makes it really difficult to browse web site or use games because I'm unable to type.
  Even if I try to disable it by using the two keys ctrl - it does not turn off...
  When I try to copy and paste using my CTRL key left it appears just under the letter c or v when I'm trying to do, but when I do it with my right ctrl - it is successful...
  * steam question *.
  I use also a program called "steam" that allows me to talk with others and play some games - but the sticky keys seem to be really stuck on this issue, I am unable to do anything...
  Whenever I press 'a' after that it is already used once - it will remove 2 characters: example: I type AGT-> and I press 'a' once more-> deletions G and T
  or whenever I have press BACKSPACE at all during a conversation of steam, it deletes everything.
  Urgent W on it also a tab or an im window closed on...
  pressing V will paste what I had copied at all, and finally pressing z would substitute a letter - for example: za-> type z once more-> towers to zz
  I hope you understand what I'm talking... help? Thank you...

  Hello Kent,

  Let us make sure that this isn't a keyboard problem. Connect a different keyboard to see if the CTRL key is working.  If it works fine, then it is a problem of faulty device. You may need to replace the driver.

  If this does not work on the new keyboard, then it must be a setting in the software that you have installed that is causing this problem.

  As a work around, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard and check if this solves this problem.

  1. type of Device Manager in the Start Search box and press on enter.

  2. browse the keyboard.

  3. right click on the mentioned keyboard driver and select Uninstall.

  4. once the driver is uninstalled, restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

  Note: Windows will automatically detect the keyboard and install the necessary driver via Windows updates.

  See 't-working-properly#update-driver-hardware-isn't-working-properly=windows-7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/update-driver-hardware-isn

  If the keyboard print incorrect characters, then try the steps mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258826

  I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please let us know.

• Satellite L555-11U, CTRL key does not work.

  Welcome,
  I bought this laptop about 2 weeks ago.
  Since Monday, both the CTRL key are as "disabled" but I'm sure, that they are not damaged.
  Because:
  When I press on (left and right) CTRL + v, this spell: vr. Or c: C3

  Then I discovered while playing Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2:
  If I use the wheel size the Volume, the function of CTRL has been set for her.
  This means: in Cod MW2 I use CTRL to crouchinng... now, if I use the wheel I Crouch. Even in other games.

  I did my best to write in English: D
  Thanks for the help,

  Hello

  Very strange, I think that the buttons are not damage, but I think there could be a problem with the keyboard.

  But just a question; have you tried to reinstall the operating system and to check if the button works again? You use the latest version of the BIOS?
  Please check everything first.

  If the buttons do not work even the installation of new OS and new BIOS then it s a hardware problem and the keyboard should be replaced

  I think this shouldn't be a problem given that the guarantee is valid and everything should be done for free.

  Welcome them

• Left Ctrl key does not work as expected

  Original title: keyboard/Windows problem

  Hi there I met a strange problem that just happened, don't forget that I did not add that shortcuts to my keyboard just randomly happened.

  So when I press the LEFT CTRL key a far left, it opens a new window Chrome and in search spam 000 bar if you keep holding it, it will continue to open several windows and keep doing this.

  Any idea? Thank you

  PS Also scanned for Malware nothing shown!

  Hello

  1. What is the brand and model of the keyboard?

  2. you did any software or hardware changes to the computer before the show?

  Analysis of computer malware in order to solve the problem has been a very good start to get the problem resolved. I really appreciate your technical expertise.

  Instead of using the physical keyboard to type and enter data, you can use the on-screen keyboard. On-screen keyboard displays a Visual keyboard with all the standard keys. You can select keys using the mouse or another pointing device, or you can use a unique key or a group of keys to scroll through the keys on the screen.

  Type without using the keyboard (on-screen keyboard)

  Please come back if you have problems with these steps, or if the problem persists.

• FN key does not work on the satellite L745

  yesterday, I uninstall almost all toshiba prog and then my FN key does not work!
  Please help me this laptop is only a week

  Hello

  Install the VAP (value added package) and reboot the laptop.

  Then install the Support Flash Card utility and reboot once more.
  Then test the Fn keys.

  The buttons are controlled by Flash cards, so you should be able to use the buttons after a new installation of this app.

• CTRL keys do not work on Portege R500

  Both CTRL keys do not work on my Portege (Vista Biz) 500.

  I guess this isn't a hardware problem. Because that both keys are not recognized even though I hardly use the CTRL button on the right.

  I don't know if it is caused by a program (newly installed). I've just updated BIOS 1.6 without effect.

  I also tried to boot the system with Linux on a USB key. Also, the keys do not work on Linux.

  Does anyone have experience with this problem?
  Can I remove the keyboard driver and reinstall it? Could someone explain the procedure?

  Thank you for all the advice

  > laptop does not respond to the Ctrl + alt + delete even before starting an OS (for example, while being in its menu of BIOS).
  The keys Ctrl + alt + delete key combination can be used ONLY in Windows OS
  It will work not in the BIOS or Windows boot has not been done!

  Finally, you must make sure that your laptop uses the latest version of the BIOS.
  If a newer BIOS is available that be updated!

  If this does not help, retrieve the device using Toshiba drive!
  If the key still won't work, then you should get in touch with an ASP in your country.

  Here are the steps you have to do

• Satellite P200D-139 - left CTRL key does not

  Hello. I recently bought a new P200D-139 and have found that the left CTRL button does not work. For example, if I try to copy using CTRL + C, it does not. It is the way in which the keyboard is configured with these laptops or is it a problem of possible hardware/software?

  All the tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  I have the same laptop and CTRL + C works on the first day. The laptop with muss factory settings allow you to use this key combination.
  It works with the right CTRL key?

• CTRL + c does not work in ff 25

  CTRL + c does not work in 25 FF in normal mode or in safe mode.
  I use win 8.1

  Hello

  I have not heard of 25 FF origin of this particular problem, but I've heard other programs such as ZoneAlarm and QTranslate causing the problem on specific versions of Firefox.

  For example these two previous requests for support: here and here.

  The best way to test it is probably for a boot Windows safe with networking. Then see if you have the same problem in Firefox. If the problem does not appear Windows safe mode, then you can be sure that another application (security software most likely) is at the origin of the problem.

  If the issue still seems Windows safe mode then I suggest to try a restart of Firefox:

  Firefox - modules to reset and refresh settings

  This will return the default settings for Firefox. Your bookmarks and history will be saved, but you will need to reinstall your add-ons.

  Hello

  I think that your keyboard is faulty.
  Connect an external USB keyboard and check if both CTRL would work.
  If both work correctly using the external keyboard, then your internal keyboard should be replaced to solve this problem.

• Portege 3500: FN key does not work

  the FN key is not working and when you start get the recovery of the thotkey failed

  What function of the FN key doesn't work?
  If the switch show FN + F5 n t work buttons you need to install utility for display devices access keys. If the wireless shortcut key does not work, you need to install Wireless hotkey.
  As you can see, different applications and drivers are required to use different Fn keys.

  But common modules must be installed always, because this driver is important for every application from Toshiba. Also, be sure to reinstall the utilities.
  Visit the Toshiba for the necessary drivers.
