• Strange keyboard problem - Portege A100

  I have a Portege A100 some three years now.
  There is a problem with the keyboard, only the keys 5tgb - a diagonal line.
  As soon as the PC is often placed on these keys don't work at all. After a while, if I press hard, especially if I turn on caps lock shift, the key to start work and then more or less work. Sometimes turning the PC and trie still the problem using shift often makes it worse. Sometimes the keys work, but only with a delay. No other keys are affected.
  I am confused as to if it's a hardware problem (are these keys connected even if a single connector?) or a strange software problem, perhaps related to the traditional Chinese microsoft input method editor that I recently downloaded.

  Any help or advice would be welcome.

  Hello

  The keys are connected on the map as the rest of the keyboard keys.
  There are not connected separately. To me, it looks like a hardware would be malfunctions.
  Why? Well, it's not easy to say. Sometimes loses keyboard cable affects the use of the keyboard. But maybe the entire keyboard needs to be replaced.

  We must consider this possibility I think you should contact the ASP in your country. If the warranty is valid replacement should be done for free.

• Portege R830 - Trackpad/keyboard problem

  HI - hope someone can help because I have only a few strands of hair left out!

  In the last two weeks, a problem has developed with the trackpad - and maybe my keyboard. Here are some of the symptoms

  1. the cursor on the screen suddenly freezes. If I leave the laptop and work back, and it's not.

  2. If I tap on the keyboard (can simply press the keys or I could be typing in a document) and the cursor may freeze again. During this event the little 'mouse/trackpad' power icon flashes briefly on the screen. If I hit another key (literally anywhere on the keyboard) a number of times (not the model number) the icon can cycle and the slider moves and then freeze again.

  It's as if each key on the keyboard is somehow the role of the FnF9 key.

  Unfortunately I took the laptop on a business trip recently and this time after initialization the laptop - the cursor was frozen and no amount of pressure button thoughtful or random didn't get going. It is a working battery. That scared the hell out of me.

  If I plug in a USB keyboard and mouse and then pressing the keys on this keyboard does not cause the cursor to freeze. But he can do anyway - as described in 1. above.

  The F9 key will unlock the cursor (I guess re - turn on the trackpad) - but it won't be long before cycle back again.

  I did not drop the phone. There is nothing physically wrong with her. The battery holds its charge and it starts successfully. I did no change of material during the month.

  The only button on the keyboard that is not working is the mouse/trackpad power button just above the space bar. It feels a bit depressed - but I think that is how it has always been. Juggle it makes no difference to this bizarre and erratic behavior. But perhaps this is relevant.

  When I tried.

  Reinstall the trackpad driver (Synaptics).

  Reinstall the PVAT (value package).

  I even tried to re-imaging of HARD drive to one of these days - and the other just after that I bought the laptop in 2012. Which should have solved if it was a software/driver problem - but it didn't.

  One thing I did not, is venturing into the BIOS. Maybe there is something in them?

  In Device Manager that everything is listed - no warning at all. There seems to be be no IRQ conflict.

  This could be a hardware problem? I read that the keyboards on R830 are quite likely to damage/stoppage of work. A the United Kingdom popular auction site has sellers who claim to have sold more than 40! That's a lot of R830s who have had new keyboards.

  I also know that a replacement is a pain, so I hope that's not it.

  Someone at - it suggestions? It makes me crazy.

  I google extensively and can't come up with anything either. There are the usual raft of people trying to find how to activate the trackpad or disable - but none seem to be struggling with the laptop made for them.

  Help!

  Hello

  According to the description of your problem, it seems that the touchpad is disabled automatically.
  As you have already mentioned, the touchpad can be enabled and disabled by using the FN + F9 key combination function

  Since you have also some keyboard problems, my theory is that there is a problem of keyboard that may be responsible for the touchpad ON / OFF question.

  What do you think of this theory?

  I put t think there is a software problem because as you already reset the system to the point in time at the beginning (factory settings?). This is why I think that the conflict of software cannot be the reason for this.

• Portege M200 - the keyboard does not work and I can't boot from CD/DVD

  Hello

  I recently tried to install VM Player on my Toshiba M200. When I restarted my computer, I found that my network connections did not work. I tried to uninstall the reader of the VM, but it failed to halfway. As the program has created a number of virtual network connections which I couldn't remove, I went into the registry and remove the 20 entries or while I thought when linked.

  I rebooted and found my keyboard HID devices and Wireless does not. So I started using the ketyboard softward to try to resolve the problem. I was able to reboot and login using the software keyboard until I did a restore to the last parameter of normal startup. How, rather than get my login window, I get a message asking me to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete. When I do using the software keyboard I get another window saying due to security, I have to press key instead of Ctrl-Alt-Delete Windows security. When I press the button on the key of Windows security on the lower side right of the screen, nothing happens.

  What I can do. I have also tried to attach a USB CD drive (Philips) but can't get the laptop to boot from it. I get an error message (so I had to research readers of CD boot) saying the laptop can not find the drive. The CD comes on during startup, but only for a second.

  I'm desperate so please let me know what options I have or what I can do about it. The physical keyboard works during startup until the first Windows startup screen appears. No NumLock or such work at the time when I get to the login screen.

  Thanks in advance for one advise you can provide.

  Hello

  A long history on your question... I think the reason for this is why you deleted some registry keys. If you delete something in the registry of Windows, you really know what you're doing. You may damage the entire Windows system!
  So I think that's the reason why the keyboard doesn t more.

  In the manual, I founded the CD-ROM boot option is available with the optical disk option.
  So for me it sounds like that your CD USB drive is not compatible with the laptop

  You seem to be pressing the NumLock key. On an English keyboard, it can be reported Num, Num Lk, digital or similar. You should be able to turn it off by pressing it again. If this does not work, try to press it by pressing the Fn. consult the manual of your computer for more information.

• Re: Satellite A300D - strange keyboard problem

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my Satellite A300D: when I press on 'y' or '5', I get a "y5" and when I press "n" or "b", I get a "nb".
  If I hold down y or 5, it seems y5yyy... and with n and b I get nbnnn...

  What you think could be the problem? Keyboard? Or some other hardware controller?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It is difficult to say why this happens, but in your case I would like to connect an external keyboard and check this. You may notice the same behavior?

  If not, I think the case is clear: your keyboard internal doesn t work properly and you need a new. Therefore, you can contact a service provider authorized in your country.

  By the way: have you checked the keyboard input language?

• Tecra S1 and strange keyboard problem

  Hello

  I had one laptop Tecra S1 old but still works perfectly, except for one thing that is a few years old.

  A month ago or so the keyboard started acting all weird for a small period. When I press 'e' the output is eo and if I hold down the button the output looks like this: "eooooooooooooo." The other keys work fine. When I press the 'o' key it simply prints me an o. It has nothing to do with the language of the combination Fn + F10-11 settings. When I have the keypad and I press 'e' I just get the number 6, the same thing happens when I press o.

  So basically the o - key works as it should. But there is something missed on 'e '. Earlier today it has worked when I had the pad on, but a little later he returned all crazy. I started my system with a Linux LiveCD to see if it was an OS problem but it wasn't. With an external keyboard, the system works like a charm.

  That one key, the e, causing me a headache. It prints me eo or eooooooooooo when pressed.

  Thanks if anyone can help me with this. I am thinking of opening up the system and check on the keyboard. It is simply difficult to find a keyboard with a layout of the Finns, but maybe I'll buy an English and Relabel upward.

  I agree with the user who has the funny nickname I like it ;)

  It looks like a malfunction of the keyboard and it should be replaced
  The ASP can do this! Ask if the technicians for assistance!

  See you soon

• Satellite P200 - strange keyboard problem

• Lenovo Y560: Strange keyboard problems

  Apart from the BSOD and random graphics driver accidents, I met a problem that I have never seen or heard of before. My keyboard types numbers. He's not numlock, and it isn't the key with numlock fn or the other. The entire keyboard. It will happen random and all entries of the keyboard, leading to sequential numbers. For example, typing "my cell phone is disappointing me" translates into 12 345678 90 1234567890123 45. This has happened repeatedly in the browser. Refreshing and reopening the browser usually solved the problem.

  However, the problem has worsened recently. When you play, hit without fail register as numbers. This means that instead of move, the character will be standing and change weapons / do whatever the number keys are glued to the. I tried with different programs and have had the same problems. Reopening the program and restarting haven't. I did a system restore that solved the problem for a short period, but the question comes back after a reboot. I really don't want to return this or reformat and try all possible solutions.

  keyboard replacement may solve your problem.

  If you have a valid warranty, contact lenovo support line and ask replacement free of charge.

• Portege M200 - keyboard works in Bios/DOS, not in Windows

  HID keyboard

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you very much

  Dear Ment0r

  what your BIOS Setup? I must say that the hardware is configured by the operating system.

  Normally XP tablet should discover the keyboard without problems. What type of keyboard you have, German or international (there the umlaut?)

  In Device Manager, (right-click on "My Computer", select Properties, then hardware, Device Manager), is a current keyboard? Try uninstalling (right mouse button) and then perform an Action-> Scan for hardware changes.

  I hope that you will be able to solve it, please let us know how you rate...

• Portege M200 - problem installing Windows Xp - BSOD

  I recently got 2 computers Portege M200 laptops, but previous users had wiped the hard drive.
  So now im trying to install windows Xp via cd-rom drives externel accompanying.
  But when its load to the top of the windows Xp cd it gives me a BSOD somewhere near the end of loading the CD (it always stops on 'Setup starts windows').

  Now, I thought that this could be a hard drive problem, so I have a drive hard "nine", but this still does not work (this problem exists on two laptops).

  Now im wondering if theres some sort of special installation process or something of the sort for the M200?

  I hope someone can help me with my problem.
  Thank you... DG

  Hi mate,

  What version of Windows XP you are trying to install? Windows XP Professional or Tablet edition? You have the available recovery? If Yes, then you should use it :)

  If not, you should check if there could be maybe something with the Tablet thing. It s just a hint, so I'm sorry that I Don t have a real good solution...

  Good luck

• Portege M200 - weird display with docking station problem

  Hello

  I use a Portege M200 with MS Windows Vista and the Toshiba docking station. Whenever I connected the system closed down it will start with low light and different screen resolution. The brightness can then be adjusted in Vista.

  To solve the problem, I have to disconnect it, then put it in PC Mode and finally stop Vista. With the next offline boot, it works correctly and can be re-docked. Maybe it's just a lack of understanding of the system? It seems that with a rooted boot, nVidia somehow takes place or is there different profiles?

  Thank you!

  Alexander

  Hello

  At first, I must say that Portege M200 is old enough laptop model and I really wonder that Toshiba supports this model of laptop for Windows Vista. You are really lucky in this regard.

  In any case very important is info which edition of WXP Tablet Toshiba offered tools for/disconnect. If I remember well, it was utilitarian Toshiba Mobile Extension. Using this tool you has been able to use different settings for Bay service as well as for output screen to choose the correct resolution.

  Under Vista it is controlled by Vista and, AFAIK, Toshiba does not have any special utility for this. You must also understand that procedure/disconnect (power switching power supply) is controlled by Vista and I can imagine that under Vista it does not work perfectly.

  My opinion is that there is not much to do, but I hope I'm wrong on this issue. Let's see what else users of forum about this.

• Vista on Portege M200 - some problems with nVidia display driver

  Hello

  I recently decided to update and perform a clean installation of Windows Vista on my Portege M200, now that Toshiba have released official drivers for this machine.

  Everything works fine, EXCEPT the nVidia display driver. I have the following questions with the driver Toshiba provides for this machine (97.52 version):

  (1) when the screen turns off to save power, the backlight does NOT turn off. Screen turns off but the backlight will stay lit.
  (2) for the recovery of the standby mode, the backlight is OFF. You must use the shortcuts Fn-F6/F7 to change the backlight level manually, that will bring him back.
  (3) external monitor does not work (with command Fn + F5 or nVidia control panel). External display is always blank.
  (3) video playback in WMP is very chopped (a secondary concern for me).

  Is there a chance that Toshiba could finally get a updated driver that would set out the? That would really make this machine fully functional in Vista.

  Thanks in advance for any help or information.

  Null value

  Hello

  > Are there opportunities that Toshiba could finally get out an updated driver?
  I noticed that from time to time new updates of pilot (any series of notebook) are released on the European driver Toshiba page and, therefore, I m optimistic that new updates are available

  But note; usually, various problems can be resolved by installing some patches MS Vista and missing patches.
  Then visit this [MS update website | http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us] and check if all the patches are installed.

• Portege M600: keyboard problem

  Hello

  My M600 just got a little problem (I hope) today.

  The 'x 'key' doesn't quite work. I have to press very hard to show the letter 'x '. It seems that the upper-left hand corner of this key is stuck, so he bends to the bottom right when I press on it. How can I solve this problem?

  I am located in Glasgow (G4 0JQ) and do not know if there are any office of maintenance here, but just know the nationalwide Service Pick-Up & return for laptops Web site. However, I prefer to deal face to face with the engineer in a few minutes, because I guess this isn't a big deal, isn't it?

  Thank you very much

  Hi Ting

  What to say? You know that the best solution is ASP and finally change the keyboard. I really don't think you can fix it alone.

  I recommend you check out http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP. You will see where is the nearest ASP. Make a call and see what they say on keyboard problem.
