Satellite A505-S6980 - keyboard does not properly

Hello, here is a brief description of this aweful problem I have on my 2 month old A505 S6980.

As I tried to install Ubuntu, I was restarting windows 7 starts, a screen came to ask me to choose what operating system I want to start, everything seemed normal, but the keyboard was dead, I couldn't choose any.
I used the power button to restart, but then it would start just after the BIOS loaded, a black screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left for a few seconds, then a beep FORT comes out continuously (beep beep beep beep...) and nothing loads.

I have attached a USB keyboard and it worked... after many attempts to boot from USB or CD, I managed today to see that the problem seems to come from the keyboard.

In fact, when I press the letter 'r', he wrote "r4".
y = y6 [backspace]
/ = /0

The keypad is nuts, 5 active / disable the Numlock. When you press 2 twice he wrote 52.
The arrows write numbers...
Some Fkeys does not as well...

I bought this laptop only 2 months ago of Lebanon and just now, I am in France. I like there is no people of Toshiba in France who can fix things, except in Paris, that will be quite a chore!

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hello
Have you tried to pick the operating system with external keyboard? I think, there is a problem with windows mbr (master boot record) which has corrupted by Ubuntu. Try to make the recovery of the system from the hard drive, but I guess it's already gone

    So I just brought a new A505-S6980 Satellite two months ago.
    I have Windows 7 64 bit.

    So my problem is, firefox browser does not open when I connect. I try double clicking on it but it does not appear and instead, my taskbar freezes and it becomes difficult for me to click on anything. I end up having to shut down the computer by holding down the power button.

    What I did:
    -Tried to return to an other point save, still does not
    -uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, still does not
    -J' tried safe mode, but safe mode also freezes when I try to open firefox

    In addition, tracks of internet explorer, but I don't like the browser...
    One last thing, when the first arrived my antivirus and windows firewall have been disabled. I now their permits and that they are beautiful.

    > Okay, one last thing, I have glary utilities and I ran that same day before that happens.
    This utility isn't known to me so maybe the reason of this problem. You should try to remove this tool and try again. You may have to reinstall Firefox too. Check this box!

    But Firefox doesn't normally make problems. I use this browser for years now and never had a problem. I guess there's something blocking the browser. Make sure l aren AntiVirus and firewall blocking this program.

  • Re: Satellite L350-145 - keyboard does not properly

    Hello

    I came here hoping that someone might be able to help.

    Suddenly, some time ago my keyboard started to behave a bit strange. The arrows of the cursor type letters rather than direct me to the top or the bottom of a page (letters hkl instead of captiti, of left and right that will take the arrow to the left will take back you a space but only after type h). The zero on the numeric keypad is always followed by 3 (03). The z moves to the (invisible) to somewhere else on the page and you must use the touchpad to get back to your place and often using theshift key for the CAPITALS can create chaos as you continue to type without realizing that you're somewhere else on the page.

    It's starting to really annoy me. Scroll to my itunes is a disaster - I am always taken to artists starting on the letter k!

    Someone suggested an electrical short-circuit on the keyboard, but I don't know what I should do to solve this problem, if this is indeed the problem. Can anyone help? Oh yes, one? is always followed by a p and / is also followed by p and -always followed by a w.
    I have plugged and used a USB keyboard and everything works fine so I know it's the laptop and not the operating system.

    PS - I'm not that tekkie so simple tips you know would like to thank - I have no idea what a BIOS is!

    Thanks again

    Hi Jennifer,.

    > I have plugged and used a USB keyboard and everything works fine
    So the case is clear: your internal keyboard is faulty and you need a new. As you wrote, if an external keyboard is working properly, it s not related to the operating system.

    In my opinion, you should contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. These guys you can get a new keyboard and they can trade for you. If your laptop is under warranty, the repair is free and if not, the keyboard isn't so expensive.

    Here is a list of all ASP s:

  • Satellite A210 - 17l - keyboard does not respond

    Hello

    I have a problem that is driving me crazy.
    When I press F2 or F12 to switch on the keyboard behaves as it should.
    However if trying to load a Boot CD or Usb car via the options F12, the device is recognized
    but click on any other key, the cursor just sits there intermittently at me and the keyboard does not respond.
    What makes strange, is that an external keyboard is recognized but the mirrors one internal.
    I have the latest version of the bios update.

    F2 in the bios - ok keyboard.
    Start in win7 - keyboard ok.
    Insert bootable back disk via F12 option-charges but no keyboard reagent.
    I think a partial corrupt bios
    Someone has ideas about problem or even a solution.

    but click on any other key, the cursor just sits there intermittently at me and the keyboard does not respond.

    And what should happen on this stage?

    For me, this looks like a problem with your startup disk.
    I installed OS using different disks of Microsoft or USB recovery media and all you have to do is click on most of the time on the button NEXT.

    If the keyboard works in BIOS and Windows, I see no problem with the keyboard there.

    AJAN

    Sounds like keyboard problem.
    The operating system uses the pilot to clean keyboard and generally it s not necessary to reinstall the special keyboard driver.
    But one thing is really strange; the yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager

    Eventually it s only a problem of software in such a case, a system restore can be useful...

    Have you checked if the keyboard works in the BIOS?
    Do this!

    If the keyboard does not work in the BIOS, then you will need to replace the internal keyboard with the new.

  • Satellite A505-S69803 - Configfree does not. Why?

    redd49truck

    Hello

    According to some security sites this exe file is required for essential applications to work properly and the necessary system process should not be disabled.
    So it of a part of the windows system and one of the reasons of this problem could be that an essential part of Windows is damaged.
    Another reason: your antivirus has deleted regsvr.exe because your system might be infected by a malicious program.

    However, usually the new installation should work.
    You can use a CCleaner and might clean the registry to remove all traces of free software Config

    My keyboard on my hpdv6t does not work correctly. Shift pg up, pg down, etc. Someone at - it a solutation for this?

    Wanted to just report back then all would know how I fixed my problem with the keyboard and the mouse.

    I did as you suggested and did a hard reset and that seemed to work for a while until I reconnected it the battery and the wireless mouse, and then I was right there where I started. So, I started all over and made the process of elimanation. First, put the battery and then checked everything, everything was ok, then I added the mouse back and that was the problem. So I went and bought a mouse wired and tried and it was ok too. Thus, it seems that the mouse wireless mГЄlГ with signals and that could be my cell phone or else as my Kindle wifi or iPad and they were near the laptop. I hope this helps others out there who have similar problems. Also a big thank you to my geek friend

  • Satellite T110-107 - Touchpad does not properly

    I love my Satellite T110-107, but there are problems with the touchpad.

    (1) the mouse cursor does not move sometimes. With this one, I get to move taking both hands away from the laptop for a while.
    (2) the cursor of the mouse all of a sudden 'draws' of the right hand of the screen.

    I tried to change the sensitivity of the touchpad to the minimum and maximum levels, I adjusted the sensitivity 'Palm', but nothing seems to help other than by the low sensitivity that helps a little.

    I also noticed that when the laptop is on my lap, the problem is worse than if it's on a table.

    I think it's a problem with an accumulation of static electricity on the case.

    Other ideas?

    Hey Buddy,

    I use the Satellite T110 for months now and really and no problem. Everything is great and I don t have problems. It the laptop really great s!

    There must be something wrong with your installation.
    First of all, I would recommend updating the driver from the touchpad. You can download the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    After that you should test again. Also check the settings of the touchpad again. There are a large number of settings to improve the touchpad.

    I read on the functions of key etc. the FN and must admit that I messed around with the FN + several other combinations, and you ask if I have incorrectly configured settings now or could it be something more sinister?

    Hello

    I doubt that it could be a matter of bad adjustment.
    If you would something on the keyboard which should not be enabled then you get another sign but not double letter?  :|

    I think it s a keyboard issue possibly something wrong with hardware

    Could check you if the same phenomenon occurs by using different applications; Word, Wordpad, Editor, etc.
    If the same keyboard behavior would persist with different software, then this would be related to hardware (keyboard problem).

  • Satellite 3000-100: keyboard does not work

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 3000 100 laptop. It worked without any problem. But suddenly the keyboard did not work! The other keys work always. What can I do?

    Thank you, homer108 (from Germany)

    For me, it looks like a keyboard failure.
    In this case, you need to replace the old keyboard with a new one.
    The replacement is not very difficult. The keyboard is connected to the motherboard with the flat cable. To disconnect the cable from the motherboard, you'll have to open two small latches on the sides of s of connector and cable.

    However, first you must order an ASP compatible keyboard which is responsible for your country. And if you have no experience with the replacement procedures, I recommend the portable computer technician, asking for help.

    Best regards
