• Satellite A300-243 - keyboard and touchpad has stopped working

  Hello everyone

  I have a serious problem in my Satellite A300-243. I installed a driver for external keyboard using a CD and once I rebooted both keyboard and touchbpad stopped working and to make any order, when I reached the vista welcome page.
  What should I do because you know that even if I can't get into the windows to uninstall this driver.

  Any way to do during windows startup?

  Hello

  Why you installed a driver for external keyboard? I've never heard of such drivers

  Anyway, you should try to start in safe mode and then you are able to remove driver external keyboard to the list of software. After I restarted in normal mode, the keyboard and the touchpad should work properly again.

• Satellite A300-1AL - keyboard and touchpad issues after change of OS

  Hello

  I'm looking for suggestions or ideas how to deal with the problem of keyboard and the touchpad, which occurred just after I installed the new operating system. I changed from Windows Vista to Windows 7 and my keyboard and touchpad become inactive after a few minutes of starting the system. It is not serious if I write something or not, the unit works for a short time, then turn off automatically. I tried to find updates the driver but failed to come through what might be the solution. It is difficult to work with the screen keyboard so I hope that you will be able to help me.

  Thank you in advance,
  perkit

  I have Satellite A300-1LI and I installed clean Win7 32-bit using the Microsoft installation disc and all devices are working properly including the keyboard and the touchpad.

  Have you installed Win7 upgrade or clean the Win7 version?
  Have you used Microsoft installation CD?
  In General, keyboard and touchpad must work without any additional driver.

• Satellite L350D-PSLE4E - keyboard failure

  Hello

  Keyboard of my laptop Satellite L350D-PSLE4E has recently stopped working properly (a few weeks after that 12 months extended warranty!). The keys are not totally insensitive, occasionally press key is recognized as such to the screen, but very much when there is zero critical functions.

  Also the mouse pad has a failure, the movement of mouse pad is fine, but when you hover over an icon and press the key to access the icon or tap twice nothing happens. I restore access to tap on the mouse pad at some point, but he still lost.

  Another thing I noticed, when I accessed to the internet as soon as the prompt is displayed, the number '6' appears time and again in the sweet spot. This seems to happen as it seems on every new page with a command prompt type top.

  Another thing I noticed is that the sound is destorted too.

  I ran search viruses without any result, checked the drivers are running and up to date so that I have the latest version of the BIOS on my system.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Related question sounds more like keyboard as a software failure. To my eyes, the keyboard material must be checked but I think you need to replace it.

  > Also the mouse pad has a failure, the movement of mouse pad is fine, but when you hover over an icon and press the key to access the icon or tap twice nothing happens. I restore access to tap on the mouse pad at some point, but he still lost

  You can use double click of the buttons on the touchpad instead strike the surface of the touchpad?
  What happens if you set the tab double again in Control Panel-> mouse-> device settings?
  Check if updating driver of the touchpad or new facility could help you.

  But overall, I would recommend to recover the laptop and test once more.
  In many cases damaged BONES can cause many problems then it of certainly worth a try

• Satellite A300-1OM webcam failure

  A week ago the notebook above had a motherboard (fried component) failure while I was on Skype with my webcam in use. A technician managed to fix the motherboard and the laptop is now fully operational with the exception of my built-in webcam which are more detectable by the computer.

  The technician suggested that he may have forgotten to cut the cable of the webcam in his motherboard slot when put the laptop back together. Since I'm capable of dismantling of the majority of my laptop, I want to check it myself to save time two round-trip to the store of the computer again. Does anyone know where I should look in Notepad (illustrations would be great) to check the connection of the webcam with the rest of the computer?

  If not, would it be possible that my webcam broke during the original motherboard failure since it was used during the failure of my motherboard? I also checked for drivers to update on the toshiba site, but could not find one for my laptop for Windows 7 64 bit.

  Note, I got Windows 7 64-bit before the crash so I don't think that this is a software problem as for many other Webcam A300 problems posted on this forum.

  Thanks for reading, I hope you can help!

  > Does anyone know where I should look in Notepad (illustrations would be great) to check the connection of the webcam with the rest of the computer?

  Because the webcam is a part of the cover frame and all the cables would be placed behind the plastic cover, you need to remove the cover to access the cables but don t ask me for more details because I m A300 not owner but only the U400 which is equipped with this webcam too

  However, in your case I would risk any damage to laptop, which can happen due to bad disassembly!
  It is perhaps best to s to make a short trip to the service.

  > If not, would it be possible that my webcam broke during the original motherboard failure since it was used during the failure of my motherboard?
  It is also possible, but in this case, the technician who replaced the motherboard should be responsible for this

• Satellite A300-15V: keyboard does not work after that Win7 has started

  Hello

  I just installed windows 7 64 bit on my A300-15V and some strange problems:

  When I boot up, the keyboard and the touchpad works until I log in, as soon as the desktop appears my keyboard and trackpad stopped working.
  If I restart the laptop everything seems again works fine.

  Sometimes in the middle of working on something, the laptop and the trackpad will stop working completely and I have to restart the laptop to operate again.

  I installed the chipset drivers listed under my OS, but that has not solved the problem.

  Can someone point me in the right direction?

  Hello

  Hmm, please set the BIOS to default settings!

  You can enter the BIOS by pressing F2 while the laptop starts.

  You also need to install the driver for the touchpad, as far as I know there are two drivers; Synaptics and Alps. The two must be installed.

  Please check also if the touchpad is not disabled by pressing FN + F9 key combination!

• Satellite M60-146: keyboard failure

  I bought a laptop from toshiba m60 and I'm very happy with it, except with the keyboard which seems to be horrible.
  I sent the laptop using Toshiba and they said they would replace the keyboard for a new.
  I will write to the time where I get the laptop.
  Is anyone from Toshiba can tell what is really happening with these keyboards?

  Hi Tomas

  Unfortunately, it is not easy to say why this problem occurs with the keyboard.
  Sometimes one loses the keyboard connection cable could be responsible for a strange keyboard events. Sometimes a BIOS update can also solve a keyboard problems.
  I'm sure that service partner will solve the problem of keyboard.

• Mousepad & keyboard do not work under Win7 on Satellite A300-1BZ

  Hello

  I just installed Windows 7 on my laptop that is about a year now, but the mouse pad and keyboard do not work. No lights on the caps lock keys or anything either, the only way to get to work is to press the power button so that the laptop goes to sleep and then press it again to turn it back on, then wakes up the keyboard but the mouse pad still does not work.

  I can plug in a USB mouse and it works, but I would prefer if the keyboard and the touchpad just would first work place! However if I restart the computer using the touchpad keyboard then suddenly works.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  I upgraded my Satellite A300 to Win7 and two works of features perfectly.
  Did you upgrade or clean install of Win7?

  To be honest, it's a little strange. I installed Windows XP Home edition, Vista and now Win7 on my A300 but the touchpad and the keyboard worked fine all the time.

  Have you noticed this immediately after the departure of punch or later?

• The use of symbols on the right keyboard on Satellite A300?

  I have recently purchesed a Toshiba Satellite A300.
  The details of the system are as follows:
  Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5850 2.16 GHz GHZ 2.17
  Operating system: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit.
  Memory Ram: 3.00 GB.

  Anywho, it costs 879 Euro + shipping and handling. The problem is the keyboard. The keyboard language is set to English (United States). For who knows what reason, some of the keys are not their symbol/function/number designed.

  For example, in order to make the symbol "@" I have to use the sequence of corresponding keys SHIFT + ','
  But when I press SHIFT + 2 I get "
  I can't understand why, but I can not even operate. A large number of keys are out of whack. I have not hit what, I only got it more than a week. It cost me a lot, and I can't seem to find support. I got a technician to look at it, but he was unable to understand.

  I tried holding SHIFT ALTGR and pressing INSERT and everything but nothing helps.

  Please, I need to understand how can I ressolve this problem, I can't access one of my email accounts, because I can't understand what is wrong with the keyboard.

  my email address is [email protected]

• The cut on my Satellite A300 and it works without a keyboard

  Hi guys,.
  I spilled half a glass of tea on my Toshiba Satellite A300. I dried quickly by opening and by blowing dry air into it. The laptop works very well with the keyboard removed but no way with the connected keyboard it will star bipping everywhere. A couple of questions here.

  (1) can I connect a keyboard external usb for awhile?
  (2) Technical Service charge me to replace the lid and the keyboard? Why the cover while plastic and metal? How is the coverage could be ruinned too? I understand the keyboard, but the cover? Give me a break.
  (3) private users can buy replacements of parts on the internet. Any address in Europe who trust someone? I pay 60 euros for the time of 5 minutes from the repairman to change its keyboard. I can do it by myself. It's not rocket science, and here a great site with instructions step by step.

  Thanks for any help, I'd really appreciate it.

  See you soon,.

  Maybe the cover is equipped with circuits attached to it? Maybe a touchpad or something like that.

  Did you ask to SAV why the lid needs to be changed?
