• Portege R700 - how to clean the keyboard keys?

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Portege R700 - and I spilled coke on a small part of the keyboard.
  Not surprisingly, the two or three keys are now "sticky."

  Is it as simple as access to the keyboard and the relevant keys of cleaning?
  Or is it not that simple?
  If I can do this, is there a pictorial guide on access to the keyboard?

  I'm reluctant to open first without consulting the tech manual.

  Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion, you will not be able to clean it properly. Coke is full of sugar. It can be complicated, but you can try it.

  In the worst cases, you must exchange he keyboard.
  So what you need to do is to remove Cap key for each critical button. It is set with small farmers in plastic. Just take something like the credit card but more stabile, put under the key cap and try to remove it. Under the key CAP is little key mechanism. Try to clean it with a damp cloth. Be careful and clean without a lot of pressure.

  When you think it's OK place the key cap and press it very gently of course.

  You'll hear the clicking noise and the cp key should be up again.

  I hope that you will be able to make it work again.
  Please post comments.

• Portege R700 - registry key for the FN + F8 key combination

  Hello

  Pressing Fn + F8 to toggle wireless on a R700 - what values of registry keys made this change? Is anyone able to tell me the path of the registry for the wireless feature on of the Portege R700?

  See you soon

  :)

  Hey Buddy,

  The exact registry key knows only Toshiba. I can tell you that the FN keys are controlled by value added and Flash Cards Support utility package.

  These two tools can be downloaded from the official website of Toshiba for the FN keys you need an additional tool and it s not just a simple registry key.

• Portege R700 how to replace the keyboard

  Hello!

  One of the keys on my R700 R700 laptop model PT311A-00Y00Q has a broken key. Apparently, you can get spare keys, so I need a whole new keyboard.

  I found this on EBay: keyboard http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=Toshiba+R700+ & _sacat = 0

  But I can't find a guide to replacement of the keyboard, would you mind linking me to a guide?

  Thanks in advance.

  I've read some reports of users who have tried to replace the keyboard on the R700 and it's not very easy.
  It s difficult because you will need to remove the other parts like the
  Battery, sim card, express card slot, modules of memory, base Assembly to gain access to a
  Ribbon of aluminum on the back of the lid Assembly. Then you could cut the lid Assembly face to the top and peel the keyboard joined the insulator.
  And also you can not use the keyboard removed and isolator keyboard again. You will need to use new parts

  The usual continuation of start-up procedures on laptop, we have created a set of discs of recovery media to reassure.

  Hey Buddy,

  As you can read in other threads here in the forum, the product key on the lower side of your laptop can t be used with other versions of Windows. It is only for Windows preinstalled Toshiba.

  If you install Windows on a Microsoft disc, you must use the product key you got with the Windows disk.

  Hi 1994F7PT,

  As far as I know Toshiba doesn't offer this keyboard covers. I did a Google search for keyboard covers Portege R700 and I found a few offers, but for US keyboard. Maybe you can find a few keyboard covers for keyboard R700 and EU. Also take a look on eBay, you can also get a lot of laptop parts.

  If you have found something you can post it here. I'm sure that it s interesting to other owners P700! :)

• Portege R700 - external DVD Player compatibility

  I have a problem with a Samsung external super-multi drive 2 year with my new Portege R700-1F3, which does not come with a DVD player. The USB powered Samsung dvd player works fine with all other computers that I have access to:
  * MacBook with OS X 10.5
  * Samsung NP - X 360 laptop computer with Windows XP 32-bit
  * Dell Inspiron Zino HD computer desktop with Windows 7 64 bit

  The symptoms are:
  * When the dvd player is plugged in Portege, the green light on the dvd player goes on and out.
  * This happens in the BIOS, and once that Windows 7 32-bit support.
  * In Control Panel Windows 7 devices & printers, the DVD alternately appear & disappear constantly.
  * When it appears, it shows up as "USB storage device" with a yellow! warning icon.

  I tried all 3 USB ports. The power cable is plugged Portege. I tried the turn of the digital signature when starting upwards. The external dvd came free with my old laptop from Samsung and is the model AA-ES0N09B.

  Any suggestion that this is a hardware or software problem and how to fix it?

  Thank you

  Hi Lola,.

  Have you tried other USB devices on your Portege R700 if they work properly?

  If peripheral USB do some problems I would try to remove the USB ports from the Device Manager (right click > uninstall) and restart your computer. After that, the USB ports will be recognized again and you are able to use them.

  If it doesn t help I would try a driver update from the official website of Toshiba chipset. http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/

• Portege R700 - no autorun for CD/DVD and USB keys

  In my Portege R700 there is no way to make autorun works (for key USB and CD/DVD as well). CD/DVD and USB keys work perfectely, but not the autorun.

  I tried to use both the automatic repair of Microsoft and PowerToys, but the problem that it is still there. I also tried to change the registry, but it seems that the changes are not retained. I suspect that it is something related to some utilities or so.
  Can someone help me?

  Thanks in advance.
  Gerlando

  Hey,.

  > I suspect that it is something related to some utilities or so.
  What utilities you have installed? Theoretically, they could block the autorun

  Normally if autorun doesn t work on XP, you can enable it in the Windows registry:
  Start > run > regedit

  The registry editor will open and go to:
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / policies / Explorer
  Double-click the NoDriveTypeAutoRun value and set the value of 91.

  Now he must navigate to:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Services / Cdrom

  Double-click the AutoRun value and set the value to 1.

  Now restart your computer and try it again, usually autorun should work again.
  Additionally, make sure that the latest Service Pack is installed for XP (SP3).

• Portege R700 - Touch Pad, ecoUtility and presentation of the key does not

  Hello

  I got a Portege R700 with Windows 7 64 bit.
  This machine starts very slowly after the log in user mode only.
  The system is waiting for 1 to 2 Minutes before you can work. In administrator mode erverything is fine and fast.

  Thus our directors thought it might be the Toshiba Software and a lot has been disabled or uninstalled.
  Because this did not help and because I thought that it migt be cause of Kaspersky, I started to reinstalled and update the software from Toshiba. Most of it works now. Shortcut keys does not work, then I start TfcRst.exe via autostart now, even he would somehow it would be better in 'systemecommencent '.

  But still some keys do not work. The Tablet touch power switch, just above the touch pad does not work.
  The Fn F9 works. And the two keys to the right upper corner (ecoUtility/off button and the presentation-Key) do not work. In all three major, I get a pop up saying "this function not taken in charge.

  Anyone has any idea of this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Why you n t try to restore the operating system back to the same state until the administrator has removed or uninstalled the Toshiba Software?

  Generally speaking the VAP (value added package) controls the multimedia keys.
  Also the FN keys require the VAP and Flash memory card Support utility.

  Welcome them

• Portege R700 internal to screen very dark but can use the external monitor

  Hi guys,.

  just had a question about my Toshiba Portege R700 as the screen went white and I couldn't see the screen or sometimes I could and it was very dark!

  However, the laptop could start up as normal and I could use it normally through an external display!

  Subsequently, I replaced the screen and it started working again (happy days)!
  However, a few weeks down the line the same problem again apparently did screen dies.

  I take off again and disconnect and reconnect the screen just to see if that would solve the problem and he did, back and working again. I even tried the old screen I swapped and that works too!
  So I paid £140 + for a new screen that I didn't need, my question is what is the problem?

  Could not find anything else on this topic so would appreciate any help thanks

  Hello

  It is difficult to say what might be wrong here usually black screen can be related to a faulty FL inverter.
  But laptop computer s display supports a backlight Led FL inverter should not be a problem here
  Maybe some loose contacts caused this

• How to disable WiFi for Portege R830 + Port Replicator & external keyboard

  Stupid question I know, but it's driving me crazy.

  I have an external keyboard Port duplicator and the attached monitor. The Port Replicator has a wired Ethernet connection to my local network. When I anchor my R830 in Port Replicator, ideally I would like to turn off the wireless adapter, but at least I certainly want the default use of the wired LAN connection not WiFi.

  Currently, it seems just randomly decide to use wired or wireless connection when I anchor.

  So, two part question:

  1. How can I pay the R830 automatically default to an Ethernet cable when I anchor?
  2. How can I turn off Wi - Fi when I am connected and using an external keyboard (the toggle F8 to activate wireless switch on the keyboard of the laptop does not work on external keyboards)

  Thank you very much in advance for your advice.

  > How can I set the R830 automatically default to a wired Ethernet connection when I anchor?
  If the port replicator is connected to the local network and then the laptop would use the LAN connection automatically if you connect the R830.

  > How can I turn off Wi - Fi when I am connected and using an external keyboard (the toggle F8 to activate wireless switch on the keyboard of the laptop does not work on external keyboards)
  Well, in this case, you can use the internal keyboard to turn off the WiFi using Fn + F8

• Turn on/off wireless so that the laptop is connected (external keyboard)

  Portégé R700-184
  Part number: PT311E-02Y01JEN

  Hello

  Can someone tell me how to turn on/off wireless switch using an external keyboard for docking station is the R700 while it is on it?

  We only seem to be able to turn on/off wireless by using the key on the keyboard (Fn + F8) construction.

  Also, is there anyway that wireless can be turned off by default at startup upward? Is this something that can be done through the BIOS, or perhaps by twisting a registry key?

  Grateful for any help.

  :-)

  I have a better idea: as you know you can use Flash cards to move the pointer on the top and in two mouse clicks, you can turn off WLAN.
  So you n t need special option for external keyboard or anything else.

  Open flashcards settings and activate the option allow the mouse to bring up maps, click on map of F8 and choose the option you want.

  It is very easy.
