• Satellite C660 - keyboard problem

  I have a problem with the keyboard on my Satellite c660 laptop, reference number: PSC1LE.
  The best way I can describe it is like a stuttering problem because it comes and go (very well for a few hours, then not for a short period).

  The problem is that, for reasons unknown to me, I continue to experience a problem where the A, N and Enter keys do not work when you press. Sometimes pressing the key several times (they they are not frozen) is simply the letter out, but I can not continue to press the time key to five or six to get a letter. Just to mention, I've not spilled anything on the keyboard.

  I did full virus and spyware scans but have found no problem.
  I have done tonight all the updates of windows available to me, but it does not appear to have done the trick.

  After the restart that follows the device updates all worked them for about 15 minutes, so that the same three keys stopped working again. On this occasion, it lasted only a few minutes, and now I'm writing this with the same keyboard.

  Note: I do not use the original keyboard. I changed the jury due to minor property damage, but he did private.
  However, this was done most of the year there and worked flawlessly since installation, until this new edition took place in recent weeks.

  If anyone has new recommendations or suggestions as to what can be the cause or solutions and then share it please.

  I think you'd understand that nobody is able to say why your keyboard malfunctioned.
  Only if the hardware of the laptop has been scanned/verified, it would be possible to say what's wrong here
  But as General, there is a good workaround solution to diagnose the problem.

  You could connect the external USB keyboard to the laptop and could check if the same problems with the mentioned buttons will occur.

  In case the external USB keyboard would work correctly, I think that your internal keyboard is the troublemaker in such a case, you will need to replace the keyboard once more.

• Satellite C660 keyboard does not

  My keyboard has stopped working and after trying different things I've read in other forums I've went ahead and replaced it. New keyboard was working perfectly until now that all came back but slightly different...

  Original keyboard wouldn't let me type any numbers and letters, v, b, n, f, g, h, r, t, y, were dead, as well as the entire line of F1 to F10. The new keyboard worked perfectly, but now the mouse pad does not work and I get extra letters when I type 'R', I get r5y78 instead... ""vm"rather than m and fh rather than h...

  I don't know if it's a motherboard problem, but it's very strange that the usb keyboard and mouse work fine however new keyboard worked fine for about a week and now I use USB keyboard again...

  Any suggestions?

  Laptop model: Toshiba Satellite c660
  OS: Win 7

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  If the external USB keyboard works correctly, the keyboard controller should be OK. So I don't think his problem of motherbaord.
  I guess the new keyboard is too bad and you will need to get another try and you need to replace the keyboard once more.

• Satellite C660 keyboard and mouse not working not

  I have a Satellite C660 who is about to leave the window.

  The list of problems are the following:

  Keyboard does not work
  Mouse pads and button do not work
  USB mouse and keyboard do not work (but light up with power)
  He likes also turn off randomly when the battery in but it's the least problems.

  any ideas as to why he did this and what can we do about it will be highly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I m wondering about your statement about external USB mouse and keyboard.
  I thought that your problem has been linked to the defective module internal keyboard and touchpad, but now I m thinking that this may not be the case since the external USB keyboard does not work as well as the external USB mouse.

  Probably his most serious hardware malfunction: maybe something related to the motherboard? Who knows a hardware diagnostic test must be done to confirm this

  Just a question: are you able to access the BIOS? I mean the key F2 keyboard works in order to access the BIOS?

• Re: Satellite C660 - keyboard and touchpad are not working

  Satellite C660 - 28H

  Win7 64 bit

  Kaskpersky antivirus deleted the file 'system32/driver/cekbfilter.sys' for reason of keylogger (Kaspersky Support says error of file anti-virus, Kaspersky is not virus or virused), and after I restarted OS I find keyboard and touchpad not working do not at all.

  Also I already asked to [US Toshiba Forum | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Keyboards-Touchpads/satellite-c660-cekbfilter-sys-deleted-and-no-keyboard/td-p/364673] and he has been Advisor to ask here also

  I can't use Windows recovery (have no recovery point) and I don't want full recovery of factory default - there are many flexible and personal data stored.

  So here how to get the drivers? As I have already said to US Toshiba Forum - I already tried to delete the driver of pad touch and installation of synaptic official site and I haven't changed anything.

  I also think that antivirus can remove not only the file, but some patches to remove the pilot "wrone.

  Eh, it's very stupid situation now. I never had such problems, but it will be interesting to find solution to this.

  Have you tried to connect a mouse outside, just to see if this can work? I want to say that it is much easier to use Windows with the mouse and choose different options.

  If it works, try to open the Device Manager and properties for the keyboard. You will find the option to update the driver. Check if you can find some update driver. The keyboard uses the standard Microsoft so f driver, you may be in line that some drivers are.

  Of course the best solution and easiest for you is recovery facility. If you don t want to do this try to find right drivers using this driver update option.

  One last thing: If you have a lot if important saved on the HARD disk you can remove your laptop and plug it into the other PC / laptop as external device and make a backup. After doing this you can install the recovery image and the problem is solved.

• 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.

• Satellite C660 - keyboard lack characters while typing

• Re: Satellite L500 - keyboard starts typing Giberrish

  Hello

  I was wondering if anyone can help. I recently bought a Satellite L500 and the keyboard is giving problems. Once every two days or three he starts typing giberrish - IE I type L it will type another letter and so forth--and it only resolves the problem by reset.

  Any idea what can cause this problem or how it can be fixed? Its a whole new machine, so I am surprised by the problem?

  Thank you very much
  Partha

  Hi Partha,

  > Its a whole new machine, so I am surprised by the problem?
  That makes no difference. These or other problems can still happen that even the laptop is a few days old.

  Regarding your problem: have you checked the keyboard input language? I put t know what language you want to use, but I recommend to remove all other languages.
  Start > Control Panel > regional and Language Options > language > details

  In the worst case if it would be a hardware problem, you should get a new keyboard for free guaranteed due authorized service.

• Satellite C660 - keyboard does not work

  Hello world

  I've recently updated the BIOS to version 1.60 on my PSC0LE C660-02300JEN (1 year) and the keyboard doesn't work well at all and sometimes stops working completely, making it unusable (I write on an external USB keyboard.).

  There was a recurring problem, a few months before I updated the BIOS with the strike being delayed or does not respond, sometimes when you type, but for the most part, it still worked.

  So I've updated the BIOS, as suggested, and I get the following problems:

  The space bar is either not responding or when you press + 2 written or +++ again and again until I stop it by pressing the SPACEBAR again.

  None of the numbers works.

  Sometimes the entire keyboard no longer works and none of the keys of a reaction.

  I tried solutions:

  Remove the battery.

  cleaning the keyboard to get whatever it is dislodged out under the keys.

  Reinstall the version 1.60 of the BIOS.

  I'm not sure what to do next and really appreciate the advice and help before I try to get the keyboard replaced. It would be nice to get an opinion before I gain for a fix.

  Really welcome responses.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I think that this problem of keyboard is not related to the BIOS update not to other software.
  Is that you can use the external USB keyboard as you said above this means that the BIOS is ok and also the functions of controller keyboard correctly

  This means that the problem is related to a malfunction internal keyboard. I have no explanation why this happened after the update, but it could be just a bad luck

  In my view, the problem can be solved by the replacement of keyboard.

• Failing satellite C660 - keyboard and Touchpad

  In an attempt to get the FN key works again, I installed the last "Flash Cards Support Utility', which has greatly exacerbated the problem. No keys on keyboard work (there are still be able to go to it, that the number lock light) and the touchpad does not either, with its buttons.

  I guess it was something to do with that I installed everything but I don't really know where to start. I have a usb mouse and a keyboard to spare so can't use the laptop, but would be very grateful for any help in fixing it.

  Thank you

  Before the issue of a debate: you have a problem with FN keys only or you may not use the entire keyboard?
  What is with touchpad? Touchpad may be disabled? Have you installed Synaptics touchpad driver?
  It is really not easy to say what is happening out there, but perhaps you should install recovery image and test the functionality with the factory settings. I mean, with the new installation of the OS, everything should be OK. If this is not the case, there must be a hardware problem.

• 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 C660 - Config issues after replacing HARD drive

  More widely successful replacement of original failure HDD in SATA 500 GB unit three problems persist.

  Cannot be changed from the current look of "widescreen" display resolution distorted despite trying all the options in the Panel.

  Associated with, perhaps, is that even simple games start with warning 'game running in software rendering mode' and then run very slowly. Hardware acceleration is on, and I think that the latest video card driver is installed.

  Finally, Windows Live Mail (WLM), already widespread, does not start. Warning message says "your calendar contains corrupt data that forcing WLM to close (0x8E5E0247).

  Any advice / help gratefully received...

  Can you please tell us what model of laptop do you have?
  Have you installed original recovery image that you got with your laptop using recovery disks created?

  Recovery image contains good drivers and it should work properly.

• Satellite C660 - new internal keyboard does not work

  Hello

  I'm completely stuck I have a portable satellite c660 keyboard did not work.
  So I bought a replacement keyboard and installed and checked in the Device Manager and it says it is there and works correctly, but the replacement keyboard still does not work.

  I updated the bios and uninstalled the keyboard drivers and reinstalled them that I've done everything I can think off to try and get this new keyboard working but I am having no luck and could so with some assistance.

  Have you ever checked if the USN external keyboard works properly?

  I ask because in the case where the external keyboard does not work properly, the internal keyboard problem could be related to faulty keyboard controller (motherboard) or a problem of system m.

  In case the external keyboard would work properly, you had any luck with the new keyboard. It might be possible that the new keyboard is malfunctioning.
