Satellite A300-15J - keys on the keyboard

Hello

I got my laptop about a week now. I liked it carefully, the brilliant keyboard did irritate me at first, but... But to my surprise... this morning the left low corner command button was loose... it seems that one of the "connectors" broke up.

Of course, I know what to say, I broke it, and it's probably true, because I type on my computer and so to put pressure on it... BUT, I have a respect for computers, I don't hit my computer and I have typing skills...

I called a local computer company and they said that I need to replace the entire keyboard... because Toshiba will probably not fix it under warranty because they will say I did damage... I had a toshiba A100 for 2 years, the keyboard still works fine...

I wonder if anyone has any suggestions or comments on this topic?

Thank you very much.

Well... sad story, but the fact is that the key on the keyboard is broken and the keyboard needs to be replaced.
I don't know why it broke... maybe you used really too much pressure while typing... who knows. ?:|

I have two Toshiba laptops different... one is 5 years old and the other is about 2 years old and I never noticed any problem keyboard or buttons...

So in my opinion, you had a bad luck... that's all.

Good luck with your keyboard replacement...

  • Satellite S2410-504: keys of the keyboard have fallen

    Hello

    I recently encountered a problem where 2 of the keys on my keyboard have fallen and were irreparable and so I find myself with 2 keys "spongey" who are still working fine, but are obviously without key.

    I was told that I can buy a replacement online keyboard (E - Bay, ideally), but I have no idea what model specific n ° I'm looking. Can someone help with the correct details and also as a guide what price I have to pay. And further suggestions other than E - Bay for its source.

    Thanks for your help

    If the key is broken and the keys do not remain in place, so in my opinion, so there is no other solution apart from the replacement of keyboard.
    Of course, it of possible to order the keyboard online.
    On the Toshiba page, you will find a site Options and accessories:
    HTTP://EU.COMPUTERS.TOSHIBA-EUROPE.COM/CGI-BIN/TOSHIBACSG/JSP/OPTIONSANDACCESSORIESHOME.DO?SERVICE=EU&ID=ONLINE _ SHOP

    Here I found only the Satellite S2410-S403 but I guess that there is not much difference between these units.
    Under options based on the desktop, you will find keyboards supported.

    On this path, I also want to say that all the pieces that are supported and compatible, you can order from the Toshiba service partner in your country

  • Satellite C650 - several keys of the keyboard do not work

    I have a problem with my * hot key * doesn't work does not, as well as a few others like the * key of z and *-* / *? * * | *
    In order to use them, I have to use the keyboard to screen on which is rather annoying. My sliders on the keyboard keys do not work either, I have to use the sliders on the numeric keypad. I have the BIOS updated and the correct keyboard language.

    Is there anything else I can do to remedy this?
    A new keyboard would still fix this problem?

    I put t know how old your laptop is but if the warranty is still valid contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and let them study this and replace the keyboard.

    What you can do as the ultimate test is to install the original recovery image and test the functionality with the factory settings. If the problem persists next step should be the replacement of keyboard.

  • Satellite A300 - touch pad and the keyboard emits

    Hello

    My touchpad stopped working half a year ago. In addition, it blocks my keyboard as well. If I go to sleep mode and then restart the laptop, then the keyboard starts working but not the touchpad. Then a few days, touchpad comes back to life and works perfectly for awhile.

    In addition, the laptop began to heat up recently, especially around place of the touchpad.

    I have my drivers installed so I guess it shouldn't be a problem. What is there?

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    Maybe you need to update the driver for the touchpad. You can download the updates of driver of Toshiba's official website:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    There you should find a newer version of the driver for the touchpad.

    On the keyboard, it would be interesting to know if the same thing happens with an external. You can test this please?

    Hello

    Well, it can happen that some keys stop working after several months and you can't do anything.

    You must contact the authorized service provider for a new keyboard because some individual keys can be exchanged, only the entire keyboard.
    Your laptop is only 6 months old, and then the repair is covered under warranty. :)

    On the Toshiba page, you can find a list of ASP.

  • Can satellite A300-15J - I exchange the faulty card?

    I think I can have exposed my soundcard of the A300 to too high voltage to the 3.5 mm jack. There is no device for playback/record listed (only connexant HD) and a hardware scan detects any device (Vista). I have a system dual boot, and the same thing happens if I boot into Win 7.

    When I tried to start this morning there is a static sound from the speakers and white screen. A new round of power started the laptop with no sound coming from the speakers.

    Anyone know if there is a replaceable module of its edge, or if the sound is integrated on the motherboard? Is it profitable to repair a Board if the sound is integrated? Is it possible that there is just a fuse or a discreet component damaged? I think that there is no provision in the BIOS or any device management utility.

    > I think I have exposed my soundcard of the A300 to too high voltage to the 3.5 mm jack.
    Out of curiosity, but what did you do exactly? I mean, how it is possible to damage the sound card via this port?

    In any case, I m not 100% sure, but I think that sound card is onboard, and you will not be able to exchange it. I m afraid entire motherboard must be replaced. That's the big problem now, and I don't really know what should be the best solution for you. If possible try to contact an expert for electronics and explain the situation.

    And there is another problem: where to get the sound module? It is not so easy for machines to find such components.

  • Satellite P205 - hit ANY key on the keyboard opens the default browser

    Very strange problem with our Toshiba Satellite P205.
    Hit ANY key on the keyboard opens the default browser. For example, type a ten letter word ten browser windows opens. We have replaced the keyboard but the problem persists. Toshiba repair center suggested replacing the motherboard at $500 (which isn't on the cost of a new cell phone?).

    Works very well without any problem using an external keyboard.
    It came with Vista, but we installed XP with the same results. Also tried upgrading the Bios.

    * Water was spilled on this computer laptop previously.*
    * It is out of EMCO.*

    Is there maybe a registry tweak that can block the default browser to open this way?
    Anyone has any ideas on this one?

    There is a 'hard' switch just above the keyboard that opens the browser. I guess the connectors or printed circuits are corroded or damaged somehow so that any input on the keyboard also triggers this hard switch.

    Possibly a hack software to disable or block the button "Open browser" would solve the problem. How to turn off or reassign these hard buttons?

    Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

    > Toshiba repair center suggested replacing the motherboard at $500 (which isn't on the cost of a new cell phone?).
    Looks like you need to replace the motherboard if you do not want to use the computer's internal keyboard correctly
    You said that the water was reversed on this laptop previously, I think that's the reason why this keyboard problem happened

    > Is it may be a registry tweak that can block the default browser to open this way?
    It s unclear not for me if something like this is not possible, but in my opinion has nothing to do with the software (register), but with the hardware problem caused by spilled water
    You could try to reinstall the clean Windows operating system in order to check if this will help you
    But if the new facility doesn't help then you should use the external keyboard because I doubt a replacement of the motherboard would be an option due to high costs.

  • R850-169 - key on the keyboard to replace satellite

    Hi, I dropped my iphone on my laptop (of less than 30cm, I might add) and in some way he hit the right CTRL key and the key on the keyboard is popped! a whole little plastic broke from under the key (the mount under the white key is fine, just the black key is damaged)

    I was basically wondering. Is there anywhere you can get replacement keys for this laptop?

    Theoretically, you can try to find the defective keyboard, remove the button even CAP and set up on your laptop keyboard.
    To be honest I don t think you can buy these caps key as unique pieces.

    Check ebay. Maybe you can find defective or used the keyboard for a few euros.

  • Satellite A300-15J: Vista x 64 Card reader driver problem

    Hello

    I have a problem with the driver for my internal card on my laptop (Toshiba A300-15J) reader and I use Vista x 64 system.
    I am really lost, just tried to add, for almost every driver possibble to many other copanies, I'm looking for help here.

    If someone I also have this problem or have solved this problem, please give me a link or advice how to get this device works on Vista x 64.

    Kind regards

    Tom.

    Hello

    Seems that the 64 bit Vista drivers are not available for this new series of Satellite A300-15J PSAJ4E.

    But as far as I know the laptop supports a digital media card reader that has been integrated into another series of small notebook common Multiple.
    So why you n t try some card reader controller driver Vista 64 bit published BLAH IE Satellite A210 or another series.

    I recommend you test some drivers

    Good luck

  • Satellite A300-15J: missing software sound like on Sat A100

    Hello

    I got my Toshiba Satellite A300-15J 2 days ago. My previous laptop was an A100.

    Miss me the sound software that had my previous laptop.
    There was a tray for the sound icon and I could right click and select if I use headphones or speakers to the laptop.

    I wonder if there is no need to distinguish between the headphones and speakers to laptop on this system? If there is, could be directed to a link to download the audio software for this model. This Windows Vista.

    Thank you for your time.
    Leon

    Hello

    I presume that your previous A100 has used a Realtek audio Manager.
    The A300 does not use and does not support the Realtek audio chip, but it supports the audio chip Conexant CX20561 and as I m not wrong there another sound feature.

    Check your control panel-> * Smart Audio *.
    You must meet certain useful configurations.
