Satellite C660 - ESC key no longer works

Hello

I have a question about ESC on my Satellite C660. I am very pleased with the laptop, but what bothers me is that from time to time the ESC key works. If I restart the computer, it works again. In addition, the volume switch function (FN + ESC) works, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.

I don't know if there is a combination of keys secret to stop the ESC, work that I press without knowing, or if one of the own programs of Toshiba manages the operation of the key.

Can you help me?

Thank you!
CK

Hello

If someone has done test this using an external USB keyboard?
Otherwise, do it because if it would be a related issue of BIOS, the external USB keyboard ESC key should not be working too

  • Satellite M30 - two keys no longer work

    I have a very frustrating problem with my keyboard M30-106. Two of the keys no longer work IE, the Enter key and the button 'to '. I lifted the Board to see if it needs cleaning, but apparently not. Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix this problem?

    Hello

    If these two buttons are certainly defective there is nothing to see. As you know the essential mechanism is very small and very delicate. As much as I know it's not possible to order the buttons separately, but in my opinion, you should contact the Service of your country partner and explain the problem. Maybe they have a solution outside keyboard replacement.

    Good bye

  • Re: Satellite C660-1LD - Touchpad no longer works

    Hello

    I'm having this problem because more than a month now, the touchpad works all of a sudden and it starts to work after a reboot, and sometimes after a few reboots.

    The frequency of this issue is at least twice an hour. I'm really tired to restart all the time.
    I tried the system restore, but that did not help and the function keys do not work or the other.

    Details:
    Model: SATELLITE C660-1LD
    OS: Windows 7-64 bit

    > I tried the system restore, but that did not help

    What exactly do you mean by restoring the system?

    Have you used the Toshiba Recovery DVD or Toshiba HDD Recovery procedure to restore the laptop to factory settings?
    In the case where you don't who has not tried, I recommend doing that!

    The fact is that this recovery procedure should solve the problems of system/software and in my opinion, it looks more like a software like a hardware problem.

  • Satellite C660 - function keys do not work correctly

    I have a strange problem with the help of function keys. When I turn on the laptop the functions work well. However, after 30 seconds of standing on the desk, they stop. The only buttons fuction that work after that are for the volume (up and down). The brightness, the mute button, they all stop working.

    I have no idea what is the reason for this and I'll be happy to have your help.

    MODEL NAME: Toshiba Satellite C660-1MU
    PART NO.: PSC1SE-00600283
    OS: Windows 8.1

    As far as I know, function keys are controlled by the driver of Toshiba system and key function Toshiba utility and they must be active in the background (to start).
    I checked the Toshiba download page, and as I can see, your laptop is not yet supported for Win8.1. What drivers you have installed?

    Anyway, you can try to reinstall them.

    I agree with Akuma.
    The VAP Toshiba offers a lot of features, and they have other Toshiba Utilities.
    I have my laptop installed Satellite PPV and FN keys work.

  • Satellite C660 - keyboard keys do not work

    Hey all,.

    I have a Toshiba C660 PSC0QE, and some letters have recently stopped working. Well I think it happened when my 1 year child, smacked the keyboard! :-@
    Its just keys at random but the following don't work;
    e, t, u, i, o, z, x, c, v, m, SPACEBAR, move, BACKSPACE, ctrl, 2,4,8,9 and prob some other key.

    Is this a common fault on these models?
    An update of the bios could be remedied? -How do you do this?
    Or do I need a new keyboard?

    Thank you

    (this helps the keyboard screen is terrible)

    p.s. I couldn't find an answer on the forum

    Hello

    I don t think it is matter of BIOS.
    Connect an external USB keyboard and check how it works.
    The same buttons work correctly using external USB keyboard?
    If so, this problem is related to the internal keyboard so the BIOS update is useless in this case, you will need to replace the keyboard in order to solve this problem.

  • Satellite M - PgUp PgDn, home and end keys no longer work

    Hello

    I agree with the user above. I think the keyboard needs to be replaced if certain keys n t work. The fact is that individual keys can t be bought, you can only buy the whole keyboard but it isn't so expensive.

    You can get a new keyboard to an authorized service provider. On the Toshiba page you can find a list where you can find an ASP.

  • Satellite A200 - FN keys do not work after upgrade to Windows 7

    I recently updated my A200 to Windows 7 32 bit. Since upgrading my FN key no longer works. I can't find the correct driver.

    Anyone having the same problems? Or anyone with a solution?

    Hello

    The fact is that not all the models Satellite A200 with Win 7 drivers released.
    Technical support VAP utility and flash card is important.

    Added value package was released for most Toshiba laptops
    Card Flash Utility is available only for a single series.
    For example, Sat L500 contains Flash Cards Support utility download and install it!

    He that will not help so I doubt that you will get the FN button work

  • Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Nowsome keys on the keyboard no longer works.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Now some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.

    Hello

    What especial of the fn function does not work?
    If you want to use, for example the FN + F3 or FN + F2 you need preinstalled power saving.
    The Fn key functions depends on the application of 3rd as a saver or display pyromecanismes change utility for FN + F5.

    You should check the saving of Toshiba for the necessary drivers and reinstall it.
