Portege R500 - ctrl keys have stopped working

Hello

Two control keys have stopped working on my laptop. The fact that it is both of them gives to think that there isn't something physically wrong with the key. I can't do a ctrl + letter for example to copy, paste, select all, or again ctrl + alt + delete

Can anyone suggest how to recover these keys?

Thank you very much

Angus

Hello

A combination of keys that would disable the CTRL buttons does not for me.
But I recommend that you check the options of common keyboard as etc., FN + F12 FN + F10, Capslock, FN + F11

In addition, you could test the laptop with an external USB keyboard.
If the CTRL works using an external keyboard, this problem would be related to the hardware problem.

    What cell phone do you have?

    For the most part the media buttons don t work because a driver problems (Toshiba control buttons). I had a similar problem with my laptop and I could solve it easily.
    The reinstallation of the Toshiba and controls of Toshiba common Modules should help you recover the functionality of buttons.

    Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and download the mentioned drivers that belong to your notebook in the series.

  • Portege R500 - Ctrl Key does not

    Hi guys

    I have two toshiba portege r500, who never really be used since buying about 2 years ago.

    Today I don't have one to begin to use it and find that the CTRL key is not working that I thought it was strange.
    After browsing a bit I couldn't find a solution then I'm just another identical laptop on and from using them to find exactly a problem only.

    Laptops are both under XP.
    I reformatted and uninstalled the keyboard driver to see if that would solve the problem but it did not.

    All others. Many have suggested that this may be due to a damaged cable keyboard but I think that it would be very likely that they would both violate the same way.

    Thanks in advance

    Connect an external USB keyboard and check if the button would work.
    If the button can be used with the external keyboard, then the internal keyboard is faulty and must be replaced.

  • The two shift keys have stopped working on my satellite

    Hello

    I have a problem with my shift keys; left and right have stopped working.
    I have no idea if it's a hardware or software problem.

    Any type of combination of key or software could disable them or it's a hardware problem?
    If so, what should be the fix in both cases. If so...

    Thanks in advance.

    Maybe "StickyKeys" activated? Take a look in Control Panel-> accessibility

    Disable it in release 'using the shortcut '.

  • Re: Portege R500 - FN keys no longer works

    Hello

    I have a laptop Portege R500, and suddenly the fn keys stopped working. I looked for off site Web from Toshiba, but no pilots have had no luck and also tried reinstalling the common Modules (I just re-installed, it is necessary to uninstall anything before hand?).

    I use the OS is XP SP2. I tried a system restore and don't really want to do a full system restore.

    Basically, I just want to get them working again.

    Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

    Matt

    Hello

    The common Modules should be resettled in too, but it would also be necessary to reinstall the Hotkey utilities for display devices.

    By the way; You must clean the registry using the free program called CCleaner.
    You can download many Web sites. Google simply

    After use of this applications reinstall the common Modules and the Hotkey utilities for display devices.

    Good bye

  • CTRL + H and CTRL + B have stopped working for Firefox. All other commands CTRL works. What is the problem and how to fix it?

    Whenever I want to open my history (CTRL + H) or Favorites (CTRL + B), I use these commands. They have always worked. Yesterday, they mysteriously stopped working. All other commands CTRL + KEY still works perfectly.

    I did not anything out of the ordinary in the last few days, and I tried to restart my computer. What could be the cause of this?

    Thank you.

    Wow - I restarted it in safe mode, opened again normally and CTRL + H and CTRL + B running again.

    I don't know why, but it worked. Thank you.

  • Portege R500 - utility of fingerprint stopped working

    I have a laptop Portege R500. The utility of fingerprint stopped working. First (perhaps after an update of the real Suite Acess Manager was installed a few months ago) it did not work when connecting, but worked for the other passwords.

    Now it doesn't work at all. If I try to record fingerprints, told me that he has failed to locate the sensor. I reinstalled the driver AES1610 and TrueSuite access manager, but it makes no difference.

    In Device Manager it says the device is working. I looked at different threads on this without seeing something that works.

    Hmm, maybe you should try to clean the registry once the fingerprint software has been uninstalled.

    In your case, I would follow this:
    -Uninstall fingerprint software and remove the fingerprint device in Device Manager.
    -restart the laptop
    -clean the registry using the free tool called CCleaner
    -Restart once again and install the software and driver
    -Restart once again and test the functionality of fingerprint

  • Portege R500 - Flashcard Toshiba has stopped working

    Hello

    I get this error "Toshiba Flashcard has stopped working and will be closed" when I start my laptop Portege R500.
    What is the cause?

    I'm running Vista and my PC continues to run even if it does.

    See you soon,.
    Elty

    Hello

    It's not easy to say what causes this problem.
    In most cases to other parts of the software may affect the functionality of different applications.
    For example, my flash card stopped working after Vista ran some updates.

    I simply removed the old VAP (value added package) of the system.
    I cleaned the registry and the system using CCleaner (free tool) and reinstalled again the VAP.

    Now everything works fine.

    I think you should try the same too.
    Remove the VAP and installed as the new VAP downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.

  • Qosmio X 770-function keys have stopped working

    The function keys on my 770 X stopped working.
    The function keys and flash cards are OK. Around the same time, the problem started as a BIOS upgrade is out, but I can't be sure that it is exactly when the buttons stopped working 100%.

    Other users have reported the same problem but I couldn't find a fix for this problem in previous posts.

    Does anyone have an answer?
    It's as simple as the buttons being disabled by a setting of software that has been changed inadvertently and is it possible to find the real state of the software settings for the buttons?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You mean the media buttons next to the switch?
    Well, these buttons are controlled by VAP (value added package).

    Uninstall the old package, restart the laptop, download the last PPV available from the page of the Toshiba driver and install it

    Should work!

  • Some keyboard keys have stopped working all of a sudden

    Hello world

    Some of my keys on my laptop keyboard stopped working all of a sudden. I don't know if I accidentally pressed something or if it is something to do with the FN keys, but I'd love to help if someone might be able to!
    Keys does not:

    Question mark and the slash key
    the last letter of the alphabet key
    the arrow keys
    and the 0 on the right side of the pad numbers

    Doesn't that sound like something to do with some settings or my keyboard does not work

    Thank you in advance for help! :)

    I can't say for sure, but I think that it has nothing to do with the settings. It is unclear to me that there is an option where you can disable certain keys on the keyboard.
    To be honest, I think it's a malfunction of the keyboard.

    > arrows
    Enter the BIOS settings and check if these keys work in the BIOS.

  • Windows 7 Starter Ctrl + _ have stopped working TOGETHER.

    I recently bought a netbook (Samsung NF210) and it worked very well at the beginning. But as I continued to add update and install Service Pack 1, I found that all the CTRL + what did not work. My windows + all that and the alt + whatever are all working. I thought it would be my keyboard so I decided to check if my Ctrl button was working then I turned on this feature, where you mouse is lost you can press Ctrl and it will appear and that works very well, it's not my keyboard. I have no idea why this is happening... I rebooted and it was fine for about 5 minutes and then again... Is there a problem with my version of Windows? Y at - it an option that I must have accidentally clicked or something? I find it difficult to work without these shortcuts. Help will be very appreciated. Thanks :)

    I confirm that it is a hardware problem. My entire keyboard has been replaced.

    My applogies to Microsoft to blame it was SP1.

  • Sensitive keys have stopped working - DV7-3020sa

    Hello

    Hope this is the right area where my question.

    My laptop is a Pavilion DV7-3020sa.

    The sensitive keys on the Panel just below the screen suddenly stopped working.

    I can't adjust the volume using the "cursor" key, I can't cut the volume either, nor can I turn on my wireless (I'm on a cable ethernet for the moment)

    Any ideas how I can get the touch sensitive screen working again please.

    Best regards, Chris.

    Hi DP - K,.

    Thank you for your help. I did what you suggested and now everything works again as it should.

    That removing the battery and holding down the power button does exactly, it resets something?
