  The keyboard caps lock key is not even lights up when I press it.

• Satellite Pro C50 keyboard problems - A - 1 L 6

  Hello

  I just bought this new Satellite Pro.

  I have installed all the drivers and updated the bios to the latest version, but I still have the same problem: when I write, many times my keyboard writes double letters (for example, all ten words written keyboard a letter double, as "keybboard").

  I tried also to change the properties of the keypad on the control panel of Windows 8, but nothing has changed.

  I called support, but they just told me that I have to bring my laptop in a helpdesk: but I need my new computer to work, and I wouldn't be happy to lose at least 4 weeks!

  And, support told me that, if the laptop has no hardware problem, I would have to pay for assistance...
  .
  So, this is my first experience and unlucy in the world of Toshiba...
  Is there someone who can give me some advice to solve this problem?
  It may be a problem running on the new laptops, and someone knows how to fix this?

  Thank you very much!

  Hi guys,.

  As far as I know that these similar keyboard problems in the past could be resolved by the BIOS updated.
  I found the new BIOS for Satellite Pro C50 - A
  http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20140912105436.zip
  Worth a try

  Another question: If someone has done to test a USB external keyboard?
  In the case where the external USB keyboard would work correctly, this issue isn't associated with BIOS or keyboard controller but probably his keyboard fault internal.

• Satellite Pro C660 - keyboard problems

  This issue is one for computer laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-1UX running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1.

  Some of the keys on Board (E, T, U, I, O, A, B, N, and the Enter key) fail to register.
  All keys tested so far seem to register normally.

  When you connect an external USB keyboard, all the keys work properly. When you use the integrated keyboard or external USB keyboard, however, pressed some key is selected for about 2-3 seconds so that his character register. This makes typing incredibly slow and is naturally unacceptable.

  I checked the Manager of devices looking for errors, but can't find one. The keyboard driver is classified properly installed and functional, and driver update indicates that the latest version is in already in service.

  I've also scanned for viruses using Spybot and Malware bytes and also with laptops own antivirus software pre-installed. All the analyses of the entire system refer a none found the message of threat.

  I read that the keyboards on these machines can sometimes be problematic, which could respond only to edge, some function keys. The fact that all the external USB keyboard keys work seems to confirm this. However, the fact that the keyboard both onboard and external is affected by the same slow pressure might also suggest a bios problem - but that this laptop computer is several years old and working perfectly, why bios suddenly would cause this problem.

  I visited the Toshiba site and based on this laptop with the part number: PSC0ME-02100SEN, I have concluded (rightly or wrongly) that the correct bios download version is 1, 70 - WIN, only when I read the following installation instructions http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm bios
  I became quite concerned, like installing the bios update seems far from simple.

  Does anyone know if it is possible to download and install the bios right through an update automated versus manual download and installation step by step, which, if not carried out as planned, could make the laptop completely unusable.

  Has anyone reading this post experienced similar problems with this make and model laptop and was able to return successfully to the good operating condition. If so, how?

  All constructive advice would be welcome.

  > When you connect an external USB keyboard, all keys work correctly.

  This means that the keyboard controller is OK and the internal keyboard is defective.
  To resolve this problem of keyboard, internal keyboard needs to be replaced.

  > However, the fact that the keyboard on board as external is affected by the same keypress slow could also suggest a bios problem - but this laptop computer is several years old and works perfectly, why bios suddenly would cause this problem.

  Hmm I n t think so
  The keyboard delay can be bound to parameters.
  You can check this in the control panel-> keyboard

  Thank you

  Hi Olbur

  I didn't find any official document on this subject, as you say, known issue. Can you please send a link?

  I have the Satellite L20 and there is not much difference for Satellite Pro L20 and I have no such problems, but I'm interesting about this. The L20 keyboard is not the best one, but all the characters are not displayed correctly. Maybe you type fast. ;)

• Satellite Pro L300 - BIOS problems

  I know how to use bios and there are some values that I need to change in the bios, but no matter what I press, I can't get into the bios. The computer itself has no problem of thin loads just can't bring up Bios no matter what I press. Its makes me mental.

  I tried the follow

  F1
  F2
  ESC
  Delete

  All at different times, or at different times. Is there a background mix that I push?

  Press F2 when you see the Toshiba Slashscreen.

  If you stop in suspension or Hibernation Mode, you can not enter the BIOS. Ensure you Windows shuts down completely.

  You can also change the settings of the BIOS Toshiba Assist or HWSetup.

• Shortcut keyboard Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 - properties will not end

  Dear lovers of Toshiba:

  This week, we have installed three new systems of Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 (two L300-153, a L300-156) with recovery media for Windows XP since the L300-156 product (no date on the disc, only two codes: CD 5 124624 and GMR400841EN0).

  The machines are beautiful and very effective, except for one problem: when the logout or shutdown Windows XP, the program called 'The Toshiba keyboard shortcut properties' does not stop automatically and opens a dialog "end program". The user may terminate the program immediately by clicking on the button 'End now' or wait until it to expire, after which the system disconnects or terminate normally.

  We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied. (We will be definitely check this on the following system and display the result.) Install the rest updates Windows with Service Pack 3 does not resolve the problem. Not more then that uninstall Toshiba Hotkey Utility by installing the package current, freshly downloaded from the Toshiba support area.

  A colleague suggested disabling startup programs. There are two likely choices for this purpose in the startup list + of + msconfig +: * thotkey * and * TFncKy *. Disabling either of these programs allows the disappearance of problem, but the functions of the * Fn keys are lost. The key functions are also lost when uninstalling the Toshiba Hotkey Utility.

  My question is of two parts:
  # Comment this problem be solved permanently, or circumvented (other than to say the customer never disconnect & close always the cover to hibernate)?
  # If there is no solution yet, how can a bug report situate with Toshiba, so I can get them the information they need to solve this problem and establish the responsibility?
  I will continue to post new information here that I acquire until a permanent solution is reached.

  Although this problem seems trivial and 'cosmetic' it's always awkward having to provide new machines customers with such an obvious flaw. It ourselves and Toshiba look bad, especially after that we sold the idea that people avoid problems of this kind to choose a Windows XP on Vista platform.

  Thank you, Robert Phair
  Director.

  > We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied

  Problems could be caused by Win XP SP3. I've read several times that SP3 could be not entirely compatible with drivers or 3rd tools
  So I guess there is a problem of compatibility between the exe and SP3 files.
  By the way; SP3 is not completely released and updated test!

  I installed SP3 for some tests on my old non-Toshiba laptop and my work LAN card didn't so it of really possible that SP3 causes this.

  > There are two likely choices for this in the msconfig startup list: thotkey and TFncKy. Disabling either of these programs, the disappearance of the problem, but the functions of the Fn keys are lost

  It is clear that the thotkey and TFncKy files belong to applications that control the FN keys, SO if you would disable this in msconfig then buttons would not work.

  So, a solution might be a removal of SP3 System.
  In addition, you should try to clean the registry and operating system using the free tool like CCleaner.

  > Hope to get a response from an engineer from Toshiba, if there is no monitoring of this forum.
  I hope this too, but it seems that this forum is only a user forum.
  So if you want to report this behavior for laptop, contact the Toshiba ASP in your country

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro L300 BIOS update problem

  Hello

• Satellite Pro L300-128 - startup problem

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro L300-128 GB specification, that has a Celeron M550 running Windows XP and a construction date of the end of June 2008. I have a problem with the switching on of the machine if it has been turned off for a long period of time.

  Basically, if the AC cable is inserted into the computer laptop and plugged in, the green light turns on, but pressing the button it does nothing. By the process of elimination, I have found that, after a short period of time (say 15-30 minutes) if (and only if) the AC cable is then removed from the laptop, it lights up then!

  Plug the AC cable, while the laptop is on, do not cut the machine and charge the battery as usual. The battery life seems very good, if a little short (say 1.5 - 1.75 hours when used "constantly").

  If the computer is restarted, it lights again very well - if it is turned off and left for a few minutes, once again no problem. But, if she is not with the battery fully charged and left all night - it lights again in the morning.

  Now, as a new machine, I'm wondering if the battery needs a long initial load (such as a mobile phone)? Nothing is said about it in the manual. I have not yet checked if the battery down completely himself during the night. I haven't run the battery to the laptop for a long time (say all day) to 'trickle charge '. I don't know if the period from 15 to 30 minutes to get the thing started is once again because the battery is completely discharged during the night (I need to check the BIOS to see if "Wake up we LAN/wireless" is activated)-anyone know how long a fully discharged battery must be charged before that the machine will let you start it?

  Under the machine, there are two battery release buttons and it seems loose - I don't know if it's related, but can't see how. Moreover, when the question arose (during the first delivery the laptop), I removed the battery and tried power upwards of food, but nothing to do.

  I ran all the software updates (chipset etc) I can find on the download page, the BIOS version is 1.40 (last) of the factory.

  Any suggestions would be welcome before I have use the service of repair under warranty for the first time! I don't know if it is related to the fact that the power button seems to be a micro switch rather than a good button/switch in the conventional sense of the term, i.e. you can 'feel' it do something!

  Thank you very much
  Richard

  Hello

  If you have purchased a new laptop, the battery is empty and needs to be charged in the first place.
  You can also connect the adapter to the laptop while the battery is empty and the laptop should also lights up properly.
  The laptop must also run without the battery and using only the AC adapter.

  It should also be possible to put the laptop by pressing the power button for about a second, if this is not possible, a malfunction of the laptop could be possible.

  In such cases, it s always advisable to contact the local ASP for a verification of the laptop.

  I mean your laptop is under warranty and if something is not wrong with the machine so everything must be replaced free of charge

  In my opinion, the laptop must be checked!

• Satellite Pro L300 - CD burning problem

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro L300 laptop and I have problems with the CD's I created.

  Any software I use Nero, Toshiba etc I still get the same problem. The created disc will play on the laptop, but not in my home Hi-Fi, the reader will recognize the disk, how much tracks etc. but does not play. I use discs without brand that worked with my old desktop computer Dell & Sony DVD player.
  I can also not less than 10 x using nero burning speed,

  I use usually 4 x.
  The operating system is Windows XP.
  Anyone got any ideas?

• Problem with satellite Pro L300 Ethernet controller

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A - 02L 001). Have'nt after being on the dial for the year last I was wireless (it worked well before that) but am now back on broadband but I don't seem to have any wireless.
  Checked the Device Manager and there is a yellow exclamation next to the ethernet controller and it seems there is no pilot, but apart from that, there is no further details. I tried to update the driver but it cannot find the driver on my computer and it will not search the Internet for this.

  I tried, but none of the drivers I downloaded seems to work...
  At the back of the computer laptop is a sticker - PA3613U-1MPC, I think it's the wifi card that is missing the driver but I can't find a driver for it for the life of me...

  Any help would be wonderful.
  Daryl in New Zealand

  You are right. This part number is WLAN Card. I put t know what operating system you use but for download driver Atheros http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads WLAN

  What is now with LAN driver? Do you need it too?
  In any case, visit the Toshiba support page under http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/download and there you should find good LAN driver for your model of laptop.
