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,
Lee
This problem only appears when you type :)))
Solution of material: external USB keyboard!

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

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!

Missing letters when you type on Satellite M105
I use a Satellite M105-S3084 (Windows XP MCE) and fighting in vain with a keyboard problem since I bought it first. I tend to type fast, especially the double letters and find that very often a single of double letters appears on the screen. For example, 'kk' translate to 'k' only and the similar missing letters even if not doubled. This causes a lot of waste of time correcting what I type.
I know that there are parameters under control Panel\Keyboard ("repeat delay" and "repeat rate") which allow the adjustment of speeds, but I found the frustrating to use. I tried both with different settings and still have a problem with the missing letters. Maybe I don't know how to define that, and I just get frustrated, or there is another bet in another place which I do not know.
Others have had this problem with the mising letters while typing and found a solution?
Thank you.
Hello, Jeff
If I'm remembering right, there was a similar problem with the Satellite L10 and L20, I don't remember. This problem has been fixed with the new version of the BIOS. US models of laptops are not known to me, but if you have time you can check IRIS ask on the page we Toshiba. You will find many interesting documents.
Check it out under the http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/supportcentral/supportcentral.do?id=m1
Maybe you will be lucky and find something on your problem with the keyboard.

Cursor jumps to another part of the page or the screen when you type
Hello
When you type on the keyboard of my laptop cursor will go to a random part of the page or the screen and keep tapping on what I already typed.
I had this problem with a Dell Inspiron, and they provided a patch with has been for the Bios or the touchpad.
Is this a common fault with the Toshiba. I've seen some messages referring to disable the touchpad. However I don't think that this is a solution to the problem and Toshiba should provide a fix.
Does not at any time have my finger on the touchpad while I was seized.
Hope that answers.
Huw.
Hello
As Christopher said use FN + F9 key combination to disable the touchpad. If the problem persists you should contact the Service partner. I'm sure they have more experience with it.
I use two models of laptops different and same happen to me. Not often, but sometimes.

The cursor and usually lie elsewhere in the typical region and that's where I am now typing. Only make it work on the computer acer laptop and not on the comp. at home. Thanks for the help.
Hi Linda
Because the keyboard is integrated in the housing of the computer laptop, something so simple that the vibration caused by typing can cause the touchpad the cursor or initiate a click, depending on sensitivity settings.
You must disable the touchpad when typing. Most modern laptops provide an option or a keyboard shortcut to get there.
Computers laptops ACER , to disable or enable the touchpad press and hold down the Fn key and press F6 or F7 . If you are still experiencing a problem, please contact Acer support for assistance

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
BearPup

Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there

at the bottom right. There "may" be the sensitivity settings.==========================================
If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work) try to update
the driver for the TouchPad.Panel of configuration-Device Manager - mice and pointing devices - Double click on touch pad
-Pilot Tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
(drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
RESETThis will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad
of work.The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear
the device if it is present.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

What kind of image is in a document. INDD so when the file is opened you get the message 'document contains 6 links to sources that are missing' and when you click OK to recreate a link to missing files, the document opens with the images? Missing images are not on my computer, but when the document opens the images are there. I can copy and paste the INDD images in Illustrator. Y files/images/I am able to copy and paste the images that have been incorporated into the INDD file in AI of the INDD file? If this is not what type of image am I copy and paste? Can I take the images that I stuck in there and place them in a new INDD document and have the images to reproduce without problems?
The images could be anything - check the links Panel.
What you see (and copy) is just the screen preview, not the actual image data.

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
