Re: Satellite A60-106 - deleting characters when you type

Hi, hoping someone here can help me...

Toshiba Satellite A60 106 running Windows XP missing characters when I type. If I type very slowly every key works fine. Many letters are removed to normal typing speed. This happens in all applications and does not load. The key repeat rate is also slower that we should (I know how to define it, the problem is not with the setting but with the fact that the setting is not honored or recognized correctly).

Virus/spyware scanner reports clean. The problem started all of a sudden for no apparent reason and does not seem to be associated with any hardware or software changes. Tried to start in safe mode, try to disable all non-essential progams services started via msconfg but to no avail. problem still there.

Laptop has historically suffered badly from overheating, but this problem is not related of course it's the same thing that the machine is hot or cold.

Any ideas?

Have you installed drivers for a keyboard or an external mouse? (for example, Logitech or Microsoft)

If you boot into MSDOS, it always falls of characters? You can download a boot BACK on www.bootdisk.com disk

What BIOS version? You have the latest version?

  • Sam L20: Missing characters when you type

    Hi all!
    I have a problem with my brand new L20 miss a lot of characters when I type. After searching in the forums, it seems that a few people also have this problem. I was wondering if anyone has had any chance to fix this problem yet.

    As far as I know, the problem seems to be in Windows XP, (I dual-boot with Linux Slackware 10.2 and do not notice the problem here) and I * think * it might have something to do with the internet. I say this because it is really noticeable for me when I'm online, writing emails etc... (Written on this forum takes a lot of error correction) :)

    Has anyone else has been able to isolate when this problem is at its worst?

    Also, is it possible to group all those who encounter this same issue in a thread? I think that there are about 3 separate threads here where people have mentioned this problem, it would be nice to get everyone together to see if we can solve.

    I brought this laptop for programming, and as you can imagine I dare not try try any coding while what is happening, because it would cause too many problems :)
    So please, any help, advice, tips, advice or solutions would be welcome.

    Thanks in advance,

    This problem only appears when you type :)))

  • Satellite P300-22R - missing letters when you type too fast

    Hello!

    I found a lot of articles about my problem in the internet, but I have not found a solution

    My keyboard on my P300-22R ist no longer works. If I write a little too fast, there are a few missing letters or they come twice.

    I already read the http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB1103370000R02.htm of Toshiba, that I should install a BIOS update to fix the problem. The update of the Bios was a success, the inexplicable laptop properly. But it doesn't seem to work so far. Still a few letters are missing.

    Do you have any other ideas? It's really boring, write a text like this: Pei

    Do you need information more?

    Thanks for your help!

    >... ist no longer works
    How to understand this? And in the past, everything was OK?
    What operating system do you use?
    When you type a little slower is there a difference?

    To be honest this problem on P300 is not known to me because I've installed on my Win7 32 bit a year ago and so far all brothers works perfectly.

  • Revolve 810 G1 keyboard characters when you type

    Hi all

    Just got a new HP turn 810 G1 tablet / laptop (12 GB memory 256 GB SDD). Otherwise, things are smooth, but it is extremely annoying problem of keyboard abandonment / jump / lose some of the characters when entering. It is not random, specific keys or combos. So far in this post, he jumped about 10 characters. It does not require typing fast, even in the start menu Win 8, when you search for an app and then hit enter to start the application, it could not react on the press of entry. It is just an example, letters are missing from any where as I type. I type pretty fast and know I'm hitting the right keys. Disable the touchpad does not help, it's not that I would accidentally touch it as you type.

    I've updated the BIOS, restored the OS to factory State (full restore HP), go to the English localization of OS, installed all the updates of Windows - no help.

    This makes work a pain, it is not possible to cat or document type when you need to go back and correct the errors that you have not done all the time.

    HP Support Assistant is not find more updates, number of product H5F12EA #AK8, WIn 8 Pro 64-bit. I installed a 8GB SODIMM under the back cover, included 4GB chip replacement. Will run a memtest overnight.

    Anyone the same light?

    Hello

    Update of the situation-

    Nothing doesn't I could do thorough tests (including memory) HW run, tests the user added 8 GB SODIMM removed, SIM card removed, removed battery (switch required), full restoration of BONE made a couple of times (END / ENG locations), HP Support Assistant Windows Update patches applied, another keyboard + touchpad drivers of the repository product drivers downloaded and installed, the settings keyboard and touch twisted and applied a pious hope of heap.

    Called HP and at least one portable old of the week will now be replaced by a new. A few more lost days, I hope it'll work at least!

  • Satellite P100: Lack of keystrokes when you type

    Hi, this is my first post on this (or any) forum, so I hope this makes sense.

    Someone else has had problems with missing keys while typing on a satellite p100. Basically, when typing I find that a couple of characters is omitted at random (every 5-6 seconds). This seems to happen with the internal keyboard, I have not noticed anything with my external USB keyboard.

    At first, I thought it was my typing, but if I hold down a key, I can see a visible shift every few seconds. Also if I Alternatively type '1' and '-' get ignored characters evry few keys, like this...

    1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

    .. .these symptoms suggest that perhaps it is not material, but I could be wrong

    Looking through the forums, I see similar problems with the M60 but no obvious solution. I don't think that someone came up with something?

    Thanks for the help
    -Chris

    Hello

    I don't think that the motherboard or a key USB, LAN, etc. is responsible for the problem of keyboard.
    I checked in similar forums on different units and especially a BIOS update solved all the problems of keyboard interrupt.
    You should check the page of the Toshiba driver to the most recent BIOS update. If there is no new version update of the BIOS so I am sure it will be available at a later date.

    Good bye

  • No wireless - Satellite A60-106

    Hello
    I model Satellite A60-106, and I was wondering if a wireless connection is enabled on the laptop, because it doesn't seem to work when I go to a WiFi active area.

    Thank you

    Hello Kwana

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that your device has a wireless card. Please check in Device Manager if the wireless adapter is listed under network adapters. If the unit comes with a wireless card on the down side there must be a label of the card wireless with identification of the card.

  • Satellite A60-106: cannot open Microsoft Office 2003

    I have Satellite A60 - 106 laptop with windows XP Home pre-installed. After the recent failure of windows, I used the toshiba product recovery DVD. I managed to download other software like microsoft following works, note, Norton antivirus on CD. But Microsoft Student and teacher edition 2003 CD does not open in my CD/DVD drive.

    It makes normal CD to access the noice after insertion, but is not accessible. By pressing "run" displays the error as not accessible D:\, i/o device error.
    The same CD (microsoft 2003) opens with other computers.
    So, where's the flaw and how to rectify?

    I tried all sorts of advice through the web.

    Can someone help me please?

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a hardware failure. The error indicates that the drive is not able to read from the Microsoft CD-ROM.
    There must be something wrong with the lens of the drive and therefore the lens cannot read the CD drive is not accessible!
    Maybe after cleaning the lens you can use this CD.

  • Satellite A60-106: ATI graphics card driver update

    I have a laptop Satellite A60-106 and I was told to update my driver graphics ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP, otherwise I won't be able to view the photos taken from the video.

    I'm unable to locate these updates on the Toshiba site. Nobody knows where and how I can get this update?

    Hello

    I don't know if I understood your question right, but you are not able to look at images from your video camera to Mr. I'm wrong?
    I put t think that the graphics driver has something to do with this action.

    What applications did you use? How did you exactly connected the external device? Did you get any error messages?

    Just for the info: I used last time on my laptop the driver from the Omega.net Web site. But on the Toshiba site I found a news that Toshiba recommended to use only the Toshiba drivers graphics and different drivers, you can install it at your own risk!

  • Satellite A60-106: Question about updating the BIOS and the BIOS Flash

    Fact the BIOS Flash update the BIOS or that requires a different file. I've updated a Satellite A60 BIOS to 1.9 but am not sure if cela flashed the BIOS as well.

    If this isn't the case, where I could get a file to Flash BIOS for satellite A60-106?

    Hello

    Sorry, but you question is a bit confusing.
    The update of the BIOS flashing the ROM module I put t know which version is installed before upgrading the BIOS, but if after the upgrade, a new version of the BIOS appears then the procedure was a success.

    The good BIOS and how to upgrade the BIOS information you will find on the page of Toshiba.

  • Satellite L750D-14R - keyboard missing letters when you type

    I recently bought a laptop L750D-14R and he has problems with the keyboard completely ignoring letters when you type.

    If I type any faster than the pace of 1 finger of each hand, and then I can abandon typing altogether.
    If anyone else has had a similar problem and if so is there a solution?

    Hello

    Yes, I know that this question.
    As far as I know that this has been fixed by the updated BIOS

    See the European driver of Toshiba page and download the latest BIOS for your laptop model.
    Update the BIOS and check how it works.

  • How to fix the text so it is not jumping when you type?

    I have Windows 7 on my Dell laptop.  When I type "anywhere" the characters jump all over the page, I type in.  How can I fix it?

    Hello Michele,

    A fairly common problem for laptops - its caused by the thumb, finger or palm (s) hit the Touchpad when you type. The infallible remedy only is an external mouse with Touchpad disabled. To do this, or just disable the Touchpad, go to control panel, select mouse properties and select the Touchpad tab in the top row of tabs.

    This will open an applet that allows you to select the order of Touchpad buttons, a check box parameter to disable the Touchpad when an external mouse is detected.  If you want faster access to this setting, make sure to display the icon in the system tray is also checked, and you will be able to access this setting in the notification area (bottom right of the task bar, click the arrow to access the Touchpad icon).

    To avoid problems to repeat in the future, make sure that if you go to Device Manager to "RID" the Touchpad you only disable the Touchpad as opposed to uninstall the Touchpad. If you uninstall the Touchpad, the next time you restart your computer, the applet will appear again back in place. You can only disable the Touchpad to get rid of him.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • Can I do a special character appear when you type?

    Hello world.

    I have a form with a text field provided with a validation script, which allows only the user enter values in the format 999999-9999. The script is placed on the exit event.

    var myRegex = /\d{6}\-\d{4}/;
    
    var
    
     singleDigits = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
    
    

    If the format is not correct, the user will receive an error message.

    Now I want the hyphen appears automatically when you type. This means that when the user typed TI 123456 appear as 123456 -, ready to enter the last four characters.

    Is this possible.

    Kirstine

    PS I know I can get there (or almost) if I field a field digital, but for several reasons, that is not an option.

    Here is a small script that can do what you want...

    Place the script in the change event of the text box and set the characters property to 11 for the text field.

    restrict entry to figures and a dashboard
    If (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9\-]/) == null)
    XFA. Event.change = "";

    Allow the hyphen to the 7th character only
    If (xfa.event.change == '-' & xfa.event.selEnd! = 6)
    XFA. Event.change = "";

    If the 7th character is a digit, and they type at the end, insert the hyphen
    If (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/)! = null &.
    xfa.event.newText.length == 7 &.
    xfa.event.selEnd is 6)
    {
    XFA. Event.change = "-" + xfa.event.change;
    }

    do not let any characters past 10 (11 with a hyphen)
    var vMax = 10;
    If (xfa.event.newText.indexOf("-")! = - 1).
    vMax = 11;

    Thank you
