Satellite A300 - replacement for the keyboard button problem

Satellite A300 broken my number key 3.
Easy to fix but still Toshiba have charged me £43 to replace it with a new full keyboard.
It is less than 6 months old and still under warranty.

What an absolute joke, I wouldn't have another toshiba again.

> What an absolute joke, I wouldn't have another Toshiba again.
Well, it is your personal opinion but I agree.

However, if you understand something about laptops so you'd know that the single button can not be replaced.
Only the CAP can be replaced but not the button on the keyboard, and thus the entire keyboard needs to be replaced!

In addition, the guarantee only covers hardware problems that are not caused by laptop user I n don't know why the button on your keyboard is broken (maybe you was your fault) but I think that you have contacted the ASP in your country and talked to the technician then why you didn't explain that it wasn't your fault?

In any case, the case should be clear now

  • Can I send by Satellite A300-y00 for the recovery procedure

    I had the problem in my Satellite A300-y00, which are viruses, trojan or more than threats.
    I would like to ask if it is possible to refer to Toshiba to reformat with a new new?
    I mean will they install the same software with everything as a new included in order to remove all the threats.

    It will cost more?

    Hello

    As I m not wrong not the A300 was equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
    This means that you can grab the laptop and set it to factory settings very easy and without use of the Recovery DVD!

    Then turn on the laptop, press the F8 key and choose the option called fix my computer.
    Then, a new screen should appear and you need to choose the last option called Toshiba Recovery or something like that.
    Then follow the instructions on the screen.

    The whole HARD drive must be formatted and new operating system with all the drivers must be installed

  • Satellite P20-304: change the keyboard, decision problems...

    I want to replace the old keyboard with a new one, but I don't know that I should order. I found 2 different types: manufacturer id: K000006120 and K000015440 , but can't decide which one is right, because they seem to be the same?
    Post a real question: what is the manufacturer id of the keyboard just for my p20-304?

    Can answer this question by a service partner!
    K000 numbers appear to be an internal number of Toshiba and, therefore, it is not easy to know what part is compatible or not.
    Make a call to the guys at Toshiba service provider allowed in your country and ask for the right part and order.

    Good luck

  • replacement for the power button cable / stop, power LED and HDD LED

    Need to find cables to replace the header 9 pin on the switch / stop, power led and HDD LED indicator.  It is a PC HP Pavilion Media Center m8530f.

    Additional details - no one A High School HE thought that the switch was bad on this PC, so they tried to replace it, but ended up damaging the cables.  The real problem was a power supply dead, so I ordered a new, but now I need to fix this as the person IT damaged the power button, power LED and HARD drive cables.

    Here is a link to your m8530f on HP Part Surfer. I think the part you want is "power switch cable assembly (Black Canyon), part number 5070-2940. It looks like it is available, but you can always call HP and ask.

  • Satellite Pro A300D - what is the model number for the keyboard?

    My husband managed to dislodge a key on my keyboard CAP and broke the clip white scissors that holds up on... (don't ask me how)

    He spoke of the authorized service center here in Norway and they sent us replacement scissors tongs (actually they sent an old non-functional keyboard), but the clips are of a different design to those on my laptop.

    I was wondering if anyone has an idea of the model/serial number of the keyboard used in the Satellite Pro A300D-151 (PSAK9E) so I can get the correct replacement part.

    I really don't want to have to replace the entire keyboard when it's just 1 scissor clips which is broken... the laptop is only 5 months old.

    Here are some pictures of the scissors clamp in question and where it attaches to the keyboard (sorry for quality)

    Hello

    Boyfriend sorry but it is not possible to exchange a few individual keys on a keyboard, so in this case, you must replace the full keyboard. But normally, it shouldn't be so difficult.
    Either you exchange the keyboard yourself or you sent the laptop to the authorized service provider.

    The model number for the keyboard is not known to me but contact your ASP! They can order all the parts of Toshiba and they should know the right part number.

  • How can I map a keyboard shortcut for the reacord button in the Audio Mixer Panel?

    I was recording voiceovers in first Pro CS5 for awhile, but I would like to improve my workflow. Whenever I record take, I first press the record button (labeled B below) with the mouse and press SPACEBAR on the game with the shortcut key button. After I record audio, I hit Stop and this activates / deactivates the record off the power button at the same time. I have to then click the record button with the mouse to start the process again.

    Is it possible to map a keyboard shortcut for the record button in the audio panel so that I don't have to touch the mouse during recording of voice?

    There is not currently a shortcut for this. This is a good feature request, if. You can submit requests for features here.

  • I can't start with Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more

    I can't start my Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more.
    Sometimes, very rarely its starts when I hold the power button for a while say 10 seconds.

    I tested the power supply and a battery to my friends P10 (of the same type) and both work very well.

    So it must be a problem with the key.
    No idea what to do?

    Thanks for any help

    The best.

    Tobias

    If it s a button or a power supply electronic problem, then you can't do anything.
    In this case assistance by the technicians of laptop would be necessary.

    But the next time that you should try this option if the laptop turns on not;
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the laptop for about 30 min.

    After this short period of time to reconnect the two parts and check if the laptop could start.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - after the installation of Kaspersky, the camera does not work

    Since the installation of Kaspersky internet security, my webcam does not work, message appears at windows startup, saying: he needs to be reinstalled. How can I do this?

    Also any idea if the sims 3 is likely to work well on this laptop?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello!

    Reinstall the webcam driver should be easy enough. You only have to download the driver for the webcam on Toshiba driver download page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    If you have downloaded the new version, you can delete the old version in Add/Remove Programs, restart the computer, and then install the new version.

    Regarding the SIMS3, you should check the system requirements for the game first. This is a fairly new game, and the Satellite A300 is not the best gaming laptop so I think that the laptop is not fast enough for this game.

    Good bye

  • Is a Wireless Optical Mouse 5000 a plug-in replacement for the supplied mouse as part an integral of the Wireless optical Desktop Pro?

    Hello

    Question title:

    Is a Wireless Optical Mouse 5000 a plug-in replacement for the supplied mouse as part an integral of the Wireless optical Desktop Pro?

    I have spoecifically need to know if it has exactly the same features of the IntelliPoint and know if it will work with the transmitter/receiver provided with the Optical Desktop Pro wireless.  I know that the OM 5000 is provided with its own transmitter/receiver, but I don't want to have more than one on my desk.

    Thank you

    Boo

    Hope this information is useful.


    Well it is obviously not useful to say that you do not know!

    Let me know if it worked.

    For someone else who has a problem with the IntelliMouse provided as part of the Wireless Optical Desktop Pro (which is a Wireless Intellimouse Ex plorer 2.0 is told by the way), then they may be interested to know that the Wireless Optical Mouse 5000 works very well with the dongle WODP although the pointer speed necessary to decline slightly with one I had.

  • Showing the letters highlighted for the keyboard navigation in vista ultimate.

    How display the letters highlighted for the keyboard navigation in Vista view ultimate permanently as you could in XP pro, (display properties - effects - uncheck to hide a letter underlined for the keyboard navigation up to what the alt key).

    In vista, you can show them with the ALT but that works only for the top pull down for menus not on the right button of the mouse popup menus.

    Hi 3DPC27,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    By pressing the keys corresponding to the letters highlighted in the menus, commands, or options dialog box, you can quickly select options using the keyboard rather that the mouse. If they are not already displayed, you can choose to show the letters highlighted for the keyboard navigation and input (rectangles dotted around objects) indicators to navigate in Windows, generally with the ALT, TAB, or arrow keys.
