Problem with keyboard with T410

Hello

For your information:

for the last 4 months, I have a T410. The laptop came with pre-installed win7. Currently it runs also Debian Squeeze in dual boot.

The problem:

In the last few days I have a behavior strange experierenced of the keyboard integrated. The c and e keys d seem to trigger the bad events. e a for example increases the volume, mute d. First of all, the problem is sporadic, so I even if it is caused by dirt or something similar, but currently it is not possible to work on the laptop without an external keyboard (which works fine). I think a bad configuration of the keyboard layout can be deleted, because the behavior is on both systems. Maybe some else has experienced this problem and can help me? I need the laptop for my studies - thus given to maintanance is the worst solution.

With greetings from the Germany

  • Problems with the Smart keyboard (iPad 9.7 Pro)

    I recently bought the iPad Pro 9.7 inches, gray space, Wifi, 128 GB. IOS 9.3.1 of the operating system.

    A few questions that I met in my four days of using the iPad with the Smart keyboard:

    NOTE: the following problems persist despite a technical support call which lasted, I did 2 hours and 30 minutes. I had to restore my iPad settings by connecting to iTunes via my PC to reinstall the last iOS.

    (i) switching applications: if I want to pass, say, from safari to adobe, it is quite easy to do with the keyboard. However, there is an intermittent problem when the apps. When I try to open Adobe when I use safari, the screen of the iPad shows apps that are open as soon as I press the command and tab key.

    What is supposed to happen - I choose to open Adobe, Adobe opens.

    What happens to the contrary - Adobe does not open. Another "X" application that is currently running, opens. It is quite frustrating, because there is no pattern to this. If I use once more the keyboard shortcut to open Adobe, another application 'Y' which is running, open it now.

    In this case, I pointed out, often when the App Store is running.

    (II) command key: sometimes, shortly after I use the shortcut keys to turn on screen shortcut area (pop-up shortcut) - apps, this is supposed to happen if and only if you press and hold down the command key.

    This often happens when I switch to Safari.

    (III) keyboard not responding: a problem that I met today for the first time. My keyboard will not just respond. I had to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard for this function.

    (IV) on which the space key: to wake up the iPad, pressing the SPACEBAR is enough. You don't have to press the home button. Yet, sometimes the space key does not respond and you must use the home button.

    v) Quick app - keyboard shortcut crash switch function causes: if I want to switch from app to app 'X' 'Y', but mistakenly switch to 'Z' app, I immediately want to spend to 'Y '. However, I can't do this in quick succession. I have to wait a second or two before I can switch from 'Y' 'Z' app, otherwise the automatic switching app crashes and you have to wait once more for a second or two before moving on.

    My diagnosis:

    (I) it could be a problem with the smart connector on my iPad. A hardware problem. But it does not explain why the automatic switching app appears and passes correctly but eventually open the wrong applications. Also, it does not explain why the problem is intermittent.

    (II) a software problem. However, that would make me a face 5 questions at once. Sort of. I was surprised that, apart from the question of #3 and #4, there was almost no mention of other issues.

    To restart the iPad or to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard. But I don't think that anyone would be willing to do this 4 - 5 times on a daily basis.

    Update:

    So I used my keyboard all day yesterday without opening the App Store. And guess what? It has been working perfectly. All the above problems I mentioned were not available yesterday. I'll use the App Store today and let it run in the background to see how does my iPad.

  • Satellite M50 Pro: Problem with keyboard - key Crtl gets stuck

    Jin

    have a little problem with the keyboard, and I was wondering if there was something I could do...

    the problem is sometimes when I am typing the keyboard, it will get stuck at random with the Ctrl key is pressed. I did no successful diagnosis as to what could be the cause of this, so I hope I can get it fixed here.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    I can give you some suggestions. I think the key Ctrl mechanism fits because of the debris under the key cutting.
    It of possible to remove the cup from the keyboard. Check the place around the key and try to clean it up.

  • HP ENVY notebook - m7-n011dx: problem with keyboard

    The situation began early September, I noticed something was wrong. Whenever I tried to use one of the symbols by pressing SHIFT and the number, it does not meet my contact. Evenutally 30 seconds to a minute, after pressing the button several times and pressing him hard, he evenutally works.

    During this time, I'm just having the problem with the numbers of typing on the letter keys. Even by pressing the SHIFT key, both of them, would be about a minute for three minutes. As we speak now, I'm having a problem just get the numbers to type.

    I fear that it is perhaps a material thing, because my missed warranty back to the month of August and the money is a problem for me at the moment. For the fact that it is a problem to connect to my computer or by using password with numbers and even trials of typiing, I found this irratiable to do any work. I was thinking of doing a new keyboard, but I still don't like the fact this computer is just a year old, but I'll have to buy a keyboard for this. I want to say that it can only be a softare related question because if it was the key, I think the backlight would be as well, but I think it's a keyboard related question, a related software or I'm not cleaning the keyboard properly. Can I apply for aid because it frightens me that several issues came into play.  Other than the keyboard related question, it's the only thing that is wrong with this computer. I'm ashamed that I'm a major TI and I don't know what may be the issue.

    Hi@SoZo-TEKI,

    Thank you for the answer.

    Try the following steps to change the region of the keyboard settings and check to see if that solves the problem.

    • Click on the Start Menu. ...
    • Click settings.
    • Click time and language.
    • Click on the region & language.
    • Click the language that you want to add a keyboard layout to.
    • Click on Options.
    • Click on add a keyboard.
    • Click on the keyboard you want to add. (Ideally, it should be (English - U.S.).

    It will be useful.

  • Satellite M40X-184: problem with keyboard - only writes a character in 1 second

    Hello

    There is an interesting problem with my laptop, it cams with Xp Home edition with 1 partition, I used partition magic to create another and then format C:, after installation of XP Pro. Install drivers one by one, now when I try to write something in anywhere like msn, notepad or Word, she wrote just a character in 1 second;

    Like when I write "trial" he write in 5 seconds... Why what happened and above all how can I work this?

    Hello

    have you tried to uninstall the pilot how you installed? Maybe you should do this, I think it's probably just a software problem and no hardware failure.
    So you can also try to set the rate of your keyboard type in Control Panel-> keyboard control-> (delay repeat, repeat rate) and maybe it s just there a setting that needs to be corrected.

  • Problem with keyboard on the Satellite L50 - has

    Hello

    I have the model L50 - A Satellite and all typing today, whenever I type a letter on the /eyboard (of the previous word it should be easy to understand what letter it is!) it is replaced by / (slash).

    My computer is only a couple of months and is very well cared for (without food or liquids allowed near him!). I've heard many people having a problem with the letters being substituted by numbers, which I think is a num loc / problem. I've tried, even restored computer to factory settings, but still no luc /!

    I hope someone may be able to help out me?
    That / s :)

    > tried, even restored computer to factory settings, but still no luc /!
    I m there is a problem with the hardware of the keyboard, and I guess that everything would work correctly using external USB keyboard. If you do not have to test this in the past, I would advise you do this just to confirm that the use of the external keyboard wouldn t be a problem.

    I guess that there is no other way for you to replace the internal keyboard with a new one.
    I assume that the warranty is still valid, because the L50 - A is new to the market and therefore, you should contact the Toshiba authorized service provider to get it fixed for free.

  • Satellite L555 - 11 L - problem with keyboard

    Hello!

    I have a keyboard problem with my SATELLITE L555 - 11L. I noticed the first week after I bought it, so I think he's always been there.

    Description of the problem:

    It's as if some characters were swallowed, fairly regularly. It is not a specific key, it can happen on any character, about all 20 characters. Sometimes, on the contrary, some letters are doubled.
    It happens when I write fast. And this isn't always but: when I just plugged in my computer, it works fine. It seems that this happens after having been plugged in for a while. But I was not able to assess this 'time '. Sometimes, it is quite short (2 hours).
    If I keep a key pressed (all), the characters do not commonly appear on-screen. There are regular "jerks" (each 20 characters? I can't really measure).
    This is a very annoying problem, it annoys me when I write an email, that I often...

    What I tried:

    -It happens in every text field (Notepad, in a text box in IE, Firefox and Chrome, in MSN, etc...)
    -I am on WIndows 7. I tried on a CD bootable Linux (Ubuntu), the same problem appears
    -J' tried to write with an external USB keyboard: I do not reproduce the problem
    -with or without battery: same problem
    -J' I updated my BIOS with the update that is available on your site web (from 2010.03.12 if I remember correctly), but it changed nothing.

    I wrote my problem in a forum format hardware. Only one seems to have the same problem as mine. He returned to his PC to Toshiba, they changed the keyboard, but the problem is still there.

    I would like to know if this is a known issue and if you have suggestions of everything I could try before you contact Toshiba and let my precious computer for several weeks... (with the risk that it may return to the same State :().

    Thanks in advance!

    Helen.

    Hello

    I read in some forums on the same keyboard problem.
    Some characters were not displayed when you type faster
    I read that an update of the BIOS has helped a lot of guys has disabled the touchpad too and this has improved the performance of keyboard

    So I recommend you try it.

  • Strange problem with the keyboard

    Hello.
    I have problem with my keyboard. It works with delays. I don't know how to fix it.

    Hello

    What do you mean by working with delays?
    As far as I know, you can change the keyboard settings in the keyboard properties.
    Also, if you think that it s not a fault or parameters of software problem but hardware malfunction, you can try to contact the service agent.
    But before you contact the ASP you should recover the operating system.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A500 / big problem with keyboard

    Hello everyone, first sorry for my English, I'm French!

    Anyway, since 2 days now my Satellite A500 has a big keyboard problem and I don't know how to fix it. I used it as usually, just cleaned each week arriving at work with a simple cloth and after starting my computer, when I started typing, I realized that the keyboard has disappeared as a "madman".

    Some keys are reversed, others like the space bar just doesn't work anymore, capslock button now unlock with the key has and another example, when I press D writes 'CD' and other stuff like that. It is simply impossible to type correctly. I'm running on Windows 7, I have the first test to look for any kinf of viruses, vain, so I formatted my hard drive, reinstalled Windows 7, then after I did the update to the Bios and now everything is clear and clean, but the keyboard problem is still there.

    The fact is that I have this laptop since August 2009 and my warranty no longer applies, so before I should send my computer to any computer repair store I want to know if it's really a problem of keyboard/equipment which can be fixed, "softwarely" or if there is always some kind of alternative for me.

    Thanks to all for your future responses.

    Hello

    Crazy keyboard?
    Hmm. Don t think that it s software or related bios looks more keyboard problem.
    You can try to plug an external USB keyboard to check if the problem would be also available
    If it s not available using the external USB keyboard, then it s internal problem of keyboard and the part needs to be replaced.

    Keyboard replacement is not difficult. The keyboard is secured by two or three screws that are hidden under the cover of thin plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons.
    Remove the plastic cover, remove the screws, lift the keyboard, disconnect the cable (notice, two tiny locks on the connector needs to be moved).
    Then, you would be able to remove the cable of the flat keyboard which is connected to the mobo.

    But if you have no experience, then you this replacement must be done by laptop computer technician.
