Re: Satellite A500 - keyboard is not recognized
Hello
I have a Satellite A500 and I can't get the computer to recognize the keystrokes when I type my password to get into the computer. This is why I can't on the computer at all. The cursor flashes in the password box and when I click it with the mouse also recognizes this function but I can't go any further.
This has happened a number of times now and it's been really annoying
Does anyone have a solution for this please? Is it to do with tapping? FN + F9 don't working.
Australian salvation,
You mean the password for your Windows user account? Normally, if you start the computer, you can begin with password enter because the cursor blinks already in the password box.
Can you enter the password if you connect an external keyboard? If so, this would mean that the internal keyboard is defective. In addition, it would be interesting to know if you can access the BIOS by pressing F2 on the internal keyboard. So, you can check if the problem comes from related software or not.
By the way: FN + F9 can only toggle the touchpad, but not the keyboard.

Satellite A500 - USB devices not recognized
I have a new Satellite A500 and it now will not 'see' one of the connected devices (Modem 3 G, an iPhone). I checked on Device Manager and it is showing as active USB ports and works correctly and has run the PC Diagnostic tool, which showed everything (including USB) in the work.
Can anyone suggest how to fix this?
See you soon,.
GGHi GG,.
I think that it of difficult to say something about it, if you display any information about your operating system.
The only thing I can suggest to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager and restart the laptop. The USB ports will recognize again. In my case it worked and I was able to reuse my USB devices. :)

Satellite A500 - TV tuner not recognized after installing updates
Recently, I ran a few updates (Windows 7) for Satellite A500 (PSARA9A). It has a built-in tuner & it worked fine until updated. Now when I go to watch television or check it comes up with "No tuner available to meet the demand for courses".
I tried to install the new driver, but I can't tell if he does something. Device Manager me indicates that the latest drivers are installed, but it shows the yellow exclamation point.
Can anyone suggest anything here?
In my opinion you should try to roll back the OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool.
This should be a quick and temporary solution.
After this check the functionality. I put t know what settings do you use for Win updates installation but I suggest you turn off the automatic option.Later when you will be informed about available updates checking a little list and if a driver update is listed here don t install. Use the original Toshiba drivers only.

keyboard USB not recognized.
Yosemite on iMac 27 in.
Following a system freeze (screensaver is the alleged perpetrator), the usb keyboard is not recognized. The mouse works in all ports and when it is plugged into the keyboard. IPhone recharges also through the keyboard. Recovered last time after several reboots and keyboard buffering in after start-up. This time, no luck. Next steps?
Hello
I had EXACTLY the same problem.
New iMac and USB keyboard. He works first and the iMac would stop then find the keyboard.
I tried to reboot several times, but that did not always help. My Bluetooth mouse doesn't work. I get to the login screen and I can't type my password (because my keyboard is not be found). I get a message on my screen that the bluetooth keyboard is "impossible", when I don't have a bluetooth keyboard and my USB keyboard is plugged. I tried all USB ports, no luck! I just found a strange way around the issue. I used a keyboard extension cable to plug into the same USB keyboard and it works now. No logical sense... I hope that this might work for you too. Good luck!...

Equium A100-063 - keyboard is not recognized
Hi all
I have a Toshiba Equium A100-063 (PSAAQE-00G006IT).
The keyboard does not work, the usb keyboard does not work even in the bios.
I disassembled the PC and unplugged the keyboard but does not work (even in bios).
I formatted the PC and even the on-screen keyboard does not make me see the letters on the buttons.
I searched on all sites of the Toshiba driver or bios update for this but found nothing.Can you help me?
It is not easy getting started with comments. As you know on this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
If the keyboard does not work you must replace it with a new one.When you say that the keyboard is not recognized even in the BIOS doesn't mean that the keyboard is not recognized in Windows?

I tried to install the IntelliType 8.2 64-bit for Windows 7 driver but it tells me that I already have a newer driver installed and won't let me install it.

Satellite 1100 keyboard does not work properly
My old Satellite 1100 works perfectly, but suddenly the letter 'B' and the space bar don't work at all. I clean under the keys without making a difference. Please check the connection to the motherboard? (Why this should suddenly I don't know failure.)
I plugged an old keyboard via an adapter to the USB port, but this material is not recognized (although the keyboard lights). Download a driver for my old keyboard from somewhere?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for any help.Hello
First, there is no driver for the keyboard, because it s a main machine and it s connected via PS/2. If a keyboard that is connected to a PS/2 (and even in an internal PS/2 port of the laptop) won´t never ever need a driver.
And with regard to the two keys: you can try it. There are just a few screws under the lid of the keyboard that needs to be unscrewed;), and finally, you check the cable. If you have not received some success
a readjustment of the cable, then the keyboard is probably defective. In this case, it would be good to check ebay for parts for example.
Usually, the reference of the keyboard must be printed on a sticker on the bottom of the keyboard.Please give some feedback, when it's...

Satellite M70: HARD drive not recognized external - various XP error messages
Hi all
I have a Satellite M70 and I have a Western Digital external hard drive.
Initially, it worked great, I was able to put my large collection of music, etc. on it and run a computer off to save space on my integrated HD.But recently I had problems with XP not recognizing HD or be able to write in it. It appears in my computer, then disappear, often randomly when I write new files to it.
I reformatted the hard drive to NTFS as it ran originally as FAT32.I updated my BIOS as well, but I'm out of ideas.
Anyone else had similar problems with XP?
Thank you

Satellite A500-19W does not detect battery
Hello
I have a portable Satellite A500-19W which is 6 months old.
I bought this laptop while I was in Egypt and now I've moved (Dubai) UNITED Arab Emirates.
Lately my laptop started suddenly does not detect battery.
To remedy this that I have to remove the battery and clean the terminals then re - put the battery and turn it on and it's OK.
This happened twice this week and caused my data loss because the charger is disconnected (if the charger is connected, the laptop computer continue to work, but the battery indicator does not light up)
Now, my questions are the following
1 - is this problem under warranty?
2 - should I pay for anything when getting this laptop in service in Dubai noting that I bought in Egypt?
3. is there a cure for this problem without going through the service center?Thank you
1 / Yes. These questions should be covered by the warranty. Material is junk.
2 / the nearest service contact and ask, but I'm sure you don't have to pay for the repair. The two countries are countries in EMEA, and avoid any kind of problems.
3 / it is not much, you can do about it so please contact and explain the situation. They should check your laptop and find a reason why this happens.
Don t waste your time and contact the closest service. If you have need for addresses and phone numbers you can find on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

Satellite U400-119 - battery not recognized
Hello
I just bought a laptop TOSHIBA Satellite U400-119. The operating system is Windows Vista Home basic.
Before I turned on the laptop, I plugged on the CC adapter and let the batteries reload for 24 hours.However, after 24 hours, battery LED icon is orange and blinks (which means that the battery is low according to the user manual).
When I tried to turn on the laptop without the adapter DC laptop computer did not respond. So I installed Vista while the laptop was still connected to the DC adapter.After installation, the Vista battery icon displays a red cross on the battery icon, which means that it is not recognized.
This is a brand new laptop so I think the battery needs to be replaced, but I don't know.Someone at - it had a similar problem?
Any sollutions to my problem?Thanks in advance!
A display really interesting because one of my friends got the laptop U400 and a similar one issued what s happened too.
Suddenly, the battery did not recognize I thought that it s a malfunction of the battery. But I was wrong.The solution is very easy.
You must update the BIOS and this should help get rid you of this strange issue.
My friend did the same thing and it worked!So check it out. Download the BIOS compatible and right and update!
Good bye

Satellite A500-02 s - not explore after log in
Hey guys,.
I have a Satellite A500-02 running on Windows 7 Home Premium.
So I got a virus today and here is what happened:
1. on the taskbar, I normally libraries pinned there, this icon became a white Notepad and when I clicked on it, he said he was no longer there and asked if I wanted to remove. I clicked Yes.
2 many unsuccessful attempts to pin it back. When I right click the icon of libraries in the taskbar, the only option that appears is 'Close this window', whereas before it would have a jumplist and some options more that "this PIN to the taskbar"
3. I looked on line to see if I could find a way to fix and found similar solutions where I had to make sure that IsShortcut.lnk was still in the registry, she was. So no use.
4 restarted my computer and after typing my pw to connect, a blank white screen showed. I freaked out at first, but then google this on another computer and found that explore does not work automatically.
5. the Task Manager open, tried to run explorer.exe, BUT HE wasn't THERE. (by that I mean C:/Windows/explorer.exe
6. Nevertheless, I found another link "Explorer" in another folder to run and was able to begin to explore this way.
7. Since then, I have used Norton 360 to make a complete analysis of the system, Malbyteware to another complete analysis of the system (which took some virus in the registry, etc.), but after a reboot, all I get is just a white screen.
8 tried a system restore to a point in there a week and nothing. Still a white screen after connection and I still have to run explore via the Task Manager (and is either C:/Windows)
9. Another symptom I have is that when I load this different version of Explorer (from a folder called winsxs) my volume adjust button, which was always there at the bottom right, does not appear. Also, when I go to the settings and try and make sure that it seems that explore hangs and I have to re - relaunch of the Task Manager.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
