Satellite A300 - keyboard does not work after cold start.

Hi people,

I inherited an A300 of questions.

When you turn on the laptop, the keyboard works at the BIOS level, but once it boots into windows keyboard no longer works. I discovered that by pressing the power button (stop) and then turn the laptop back on brings back the keyboard. (It was in vista).

Since I did a new install of Windows 7 (removal of all partitions on the disk) and the fault remains, I also installed the added value Pack which did not help.

Firmware was 1.6 - updated to 1.9; fault remains. I restored the factory settings in the BIOS - fault remains level.

I installed a copy of Fedora 11 (Linux), that works perfectly.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the comments.
To be honest, I use an external mouse only.

  • Keyboard does not work after authentication on the RDS Session host

    When you connect to the RDS through the access portal or app keyboard does not work after authentication on the RDS session host. Offline authentication works very well, past will guide you to the RDS host, then when you try to reset your password, the keyboard does not work.

    Has anyone else had that... ?

    Options (some better than others!) are:

    1. move all MS applications seamless

    2. have an application named "Reset your password" (or similar) which uses MS Seamless.then you can leave other applications, as they are

    3 disable authentication carried forward and implemented our service reset password instead so people reset their password before can connect you.

    4. use the full desktop instead of transparent

    Hello

    What happens when you start the webcam app?
    All programs-> Toshiba-> webcam

    Did you install other 3rd software part as for example the Skype that could access the webcam?

    Extra tip: go to BIOS and set it to default, save changes, and then restart the laptop.
    Start Skype for example, check the settings in Skype webcam chose correctly.

    It would be really interesting to know if the other software would be able to use the webcam.

    By the way: have you installed Toshiba face recognition? This software use and access the webcam as well
    Then sometimes it would be possible that this software could block the webcam and webcam tool could not work

    Flash the BIOS correctly?

  • Satellite L870-165 does not work after having been repaired by their service

    Warranty Toshiba Laptop does not work after having been repaired by their service twice.
    Model: Satellite L870-165

    Computer does not start, rest with black screen showing: No bootable device - please restart your system

    After restarting the same thing happening again.
    I called incident phone Toshiba and after trying several options, I said take it for repair service.
    Told me first of all it was the hard drive, then called me to indicate this resettlement and ultimately it was the motherboard, what would have changed. The next day, being chosen computer repair returned to give exactly the same mistake, due to a malfunction only one night.

    After another call to 902 Toshiba warranty service, I went back to take the service, this time I changed the hard drive. When I arrived home the computer does not start only once, again gives the same error.

    I think this team comes with a default factory that his solution is not easy, because even the technical service told me I didn't know what to do with it.

    Sorry to hear all this. Unfortunately, we can not help you much so try please clarify this service. They help you with your laptop even if all must be exchanged.
    > Warranty Toshiba does not work after having been repaired by their service
    To be honest I don t understand this sentence. How old is your laptop? warranty is already expired?

  • Satellite C660 - keyboard does not work but the Num and caps lock shift are on

    I have a Satellite C660 which was working fine this morning. When I came home from work and he turned, the keyboard does not work and therefore can not enter my login information.
    The Num and caps lock shift are turned on.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    You are able to disable the CapsLock and NumLock?
    You can access the BIOS by pressing F2 by turning on the device?

    If this does not work, I would recommend checking an external USB keyboard.
    If the USB keyboard would be functions, then this means that the internal keyboard is defective and must be replaced.

  • Equium M50-235: the keyboard does not work after upgrde memory

    I just did an upgrade memory on my laptop using the second slot located under the keyboard.
    However, as I was putting the keyboard at the rear, the ribbon cable has pulled away from the motherboard and even if I pushed
    Reconnect and fixed with the clip, the keyboard no longer works.

    Is there a service manual I can get hold of someone know what could be the cause of the problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all, once you unscrew the keyboard, open the clip that secures it in place and reinstall the keyboard by ensuring that it is completely down. After that, now the flat cable in place, close the clip. Then, make sure that it is not lost and that it is seated correctly. Then turn on the laptop and see if it works. If this is not the case, try an external keyboard. If an external keyboard does not work, the keyboard on your MB controller is dead and you need a new MB. If an external keyboard works then your keyboard is dead, or the connector on the MB is dead. Best way to test is to try the first solution. If it doesn't work, take it to an ASP so they can try another keyboard for your laptop. Good luck.

  • Satellite L500 - keyboard does not work

    Hello

    I have Vista L500 with a dead keyboard. This machine has not been abandoned or anything it is spilled on it. I plugged USB keyboard external that works. The laptop keyboard does not work. I flashed the BIOS, update drivers, held shift for 10 sec (read on another forum), reset computer, check the updates of Windows Vista and ran 3 checks of Virus.
    Everything is perfect, just no keyboard?

    What should I check? What is a motherboard problem?

    Thanks for any help :)

    Hello

    Can enter you the BIOS (F2 key) with internal keyboard?
    If it isn't the internal keyboard seems to be defective and must be replaced

    I don t think you can do more. I mean you've tried everything what is possible and if an external keyboard works the installation of the OS should be ok.

    The keyboard can be ordered and replaced from an authorized service provider. Do you know how to contact the guys?
