Satellite A110-231; USB keyboard "drops" characters

The characters are removed at the BIOS level and when the OS (XP Prof. SP 2) has been loaded. Running BIOS version 1.6.2.9.

Any ideas?

Hello dickie1967,

Make sure that Windows did recognize your external device properly:

Open the Device Manager and look for, if you have a double aspect of the USB keyboard. If you do, please remove the item that has a circular yellow sign with an exclamation point.

Kind regards
chain

  • Satellite A110-231-CD/DVD drivers for Windows 7

    Hi all

    I bought my laptop Toshiba Satellite A110-231 in Spain in January 2007. Provided with Windows XP, it has created a "Windows Vista ready" label. I installed Windows Vista and the components of the computer worked well. Now, I just installed Windows 7, but the CD/DVD drive (Pioneer K16A) not be recognized. Guess Windows Vista and Windows 7 have the same system requirements, so how can I I make my DVD player work on this OS?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    What do you mean by saying not recognized?
    The CD/DVD drive is not visible in the Device Manager or what?

    What the BIOS has said? The STRANGE is recognized in the BIOS?

    Generally, the CD/DVD drive using the own Microsoft drivers and it should work with Win XP, Vista and Win 7.

  • Switch 10: Keyboard dropping characters

    If I type for about 30 seconds, when I start again the first character is always deleted. Looks like the keyboard is in standby mode. On the screen keyboard is fine as is the full-size USB, one I use at home.

    I downloaded and installed all the latest drivers from the switch.

    I searched here and in August there were a few complaints, it seems that it has not yet been fixed or there?

    Thank you

    I saw the same symptom with my W700 and it is the keyboard and managed to mitigate by removing the power settings on the USB device. The bluetooth keyboard ends up looking like USB to the operating system.

  • Satellite A110: keyboard, touchpad, power problems

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A110, purchased a few months before. In recent weeks, it started randomly locking the keyboard and the touchpad (with or without external mouse plugged - although an external mouse still works).

    Now there is power to the top of the issues, with the suspended system Bios Toshiba screen, can fully initialize maybe once in five.
    Acquisition of wireless network is also very temperamental. I tried this software I can think (new drivers/virus scan/uninstall-reinstall), with the exception of a reinstall full backup disk Toshiba.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think we should first find out if the problem is software or hardware related.
    In this case the installation of the operating system with the Toshiba Recovery CD is recommended.
    After installation, the laptop should work without worries.

    But if the unit will hang and not start properly there could be something wrong with the hardware.
    I think that your warranty is valid and in this case you should always contact the ASP in your county for a check.

  • Satellite A110-149: keyboard sometimes password AZERTY to QWERTY

    HELLO and sorry for my poor English (I am French and novice in English)

    I have a problem with my laptop: Satellite A110-149, running Windows XP, bought in January 2007.
    Sometimes, for some unknown reason, my keyboard (AZERTY) changes to QWERTY, no matter what program I use.

    I updated the drivers in the Control Panel, but nothing changes.

    That please? How could I fix it?

    Thank you.

    I have only one explanation.
    You have configured the keyboard with two different languages.
    By pressing SHIFT + ALT the OS changes the language of the page layout and button assignment.

    Maybe during the quick typo you have accidentally enabled this combination of keys and the keyboard power

  • USB does not work on Satellite A110-294

    Hello

    I must first apologize because my English is not perfect, so I'll use simple words.

    A friend has a problem with its ports USB on a Satellite A110-294. I try to solve the problem, but without success until yet.
    I did a fresh install of windows XP with the toshiba installation CD, but it does not solve the problem. Then I try to remove usb devices in system properties, but there is a problem when I try to remove the usb host controller. System freez and nothing works no more! I remove hub root, but it works.

    I try to download some difficulty for usb with SP2 problems, but the prob still here. I saw there are some updates to INF files for some chipset intel but it is impossible to find the update intel celeron chipset. Update the BIOS to 1.70 and no result.

    I try to look for some drivers for the motherboard of toshiba but I can't find anything.

    What can I do to fix this?

    Satellite A110-294 belongs to the series of PSAB6E.

    On the Toshiba site, you won't find a chipset driver because it s built into the display driver for this model (chipset). You don't need a driver chipset Intel, this laptop has an ATI graphics chip and chipset.

    Then try to update the display driver:

  • Satellite A110-137: serial USB 1.1 Cable does not work

    My computer is Satellite A110-137 and the operating system is Windows XP Home Edition v 5.1 service pack 2. Language setting is the Finland.

    I have a prolific USB driver cable RS232 2.0.0.26 version 1.1.

    It does not at all. When I try to connect it to a package Kantronics KAM radio modem using Hyper Terminal there is an error COM3 message: ei voi games. Tarkista porttiasetukset. (COM3: cannot open.) Check the port settings).

    The settings that I have are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, zero parity, 1 stop bit, hardware flow conrol. It's the same thing in device driver settings and the settings of the Hyper Terminal. It is 100% sure that the problem is somehow related to Toshiba or Windows XP as the same USB converter RS232 perfectly works and right the first time with for example Fujitsu ErgoPro have Windows 2000 (and it's a machine Pentioum 233, very old stuff indeed).

    I can't get any help of Prolific, their home pages seem to be offline now.

    Hello

    I studied a little on the net and it seems that this converter RS232 USB 1.1 creates a virtual serial port (possibly the com 3)
    As far as I know the built-in modem is using the same port.
    Possibly there could be compatibility problems.

    However, this is not a product of Toshiba and this is why I would recommend contacting support of the prolific.
    I've been on the site and it of online.

  • Satellite A110 keyboard and battery - if it was in / work with A100?

    Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have a toshiba satellite a100 laptop, the keyboard is damaged and the battery no longer works. I just found access to a toshiba satellite a110, which is not as high in the specs, so I wonder...

    -Keyboard toshiba satellite a110 works and adapt if it is placed in the a100?

    -Toshiba satellite a110 battery works and adapt if it is placed in the a100?

    If someone could tell me that I would be very happy.

    Thanks again for your time

    Hello

    I think the keyboard could be compatible, but I doubt the battery designed for Sat A110 would be compatible with the model A100.

    As far as I know the Satellite A100 supports the 9 cell, 6000mAh
    PA3478U-1BRS or 12 PA3400U-1BRS battery and the A110 supports PA3457U-1BRS Battery Pack Li-ion (4300mAh, 8 cells)

  • How to connect a USB printer to Satellite A110?

    Hello

    I have a problem with the installation of a printer (hp m1120) on my satellite A110 because when I connect to the printer, usb does not find it. What should I do to install this printer?

    thx for the help

    Hello

    just a silly question from me: fact you power on the printer when connecting to the machine? If YES, then try all USB ports on your computer and the printer must be turned on for the connection to the machine.

    If the system would not find then check if your USB ports work, simply by pasting a USB or something else in it. If the computer does not recognize the USB key, then your USB port works correctly. The consequence would be to check if the printer works.

    Connect the printer to a different computer (may be a computer of a friend) and check if it would be recognized. The printer must be turned on! When connecting to a computer, any computer. If it works then reconnect it to your laptop and check if a new hardware was found.

    Please give some feedback if it worked...

    Hello

    How to get a replacement for my A110 keyboard? (I use a USB keyboard for this type).
    A couple of keys do not (letter a & to the left). I know there has been no spill, I'm not that daft about drinking near him.
    I had a quick look round the site, but he said no in my series. was not valid.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Line

    It is very easy, you will need to contact the ASP in your country and guys explain how to act more.
    The warranty is valid, so everything should be done for free.

    Don t worry ;) and make a call just the ASP.

    Here on the Toshiba page I found a link to the ASP database in the world.

  • Satellite A300D keyboard problem after using an external USB keyboard

    I use a Satellite A300D series laptop and while at home, I use a UBS keyboard on it, but once the laptop is used without a USB keyboard only some of the keys seem to work, I get number 6 when I press the i key.

    I thought that this could be because the USB keyboard would not have been arrested properaly when I unplugged and the portable thought he was always there, but even after the stop of the USB keyboard is the same!

    All the answers to my problem?

    Hello

    On my Satellite A300, I can get 3 when I press L. It can be done if you are using the FN + F11 key combination.
    Perhaps this option enabled on your laptop?
