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.

    Dear all,

    I have problems with my Toshiba Satellite recently bought U940-11 X, serial number 2D015354K.

    1. at each reboot the laptop my keyboard settings are not accurate and symbols and function keys do not work properly. So it is also not possible to enter the bios via F2 after reboot.
    I have to press CTRL + SHIFT to have my keyboard works correctly. I have to do this every time I use my laptop.

    2. the touchpad (Synaptics TouchPad SMBus) does not work after a few minutes. The only thing I can do is plug an external usb mouse. I have also tried using FN + F9 does not work.

    Please, can someone help me on this?

    Thank you!

    > So it is also not possible to enter the bios via F2 after reboot.

    I see that the laptop using Win 8.
    You need to perform a full stop down to access the BIOS.

    See this document. It provides information how to change the settings to access the BIOS:

    > I have to press CTRL + SHIFT to have my keyboard works correctly.
    Have you checked the presentation of the keyboard settings?
    For me, it looks like you are using wrong keyboard layout settings. Using the key combination CTRL + SHIFT changes between keyboard layouts.

    How do I change this?
    Go to the Control Panel-> regional and Language Options
    A click on the "Keyboards and languages" tab then click on "change keyboards" button. Then in the tree "Installed services" list, select the keyboards you don't want and click 'remove.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Hello

    I have the Macbook with OSX El Captian 2012 model running. The keys f, g, h, j, k, l will not work. Initially, when I hit these keys several times, they used to work, but now they do not completely work. AHT test ran and it is said that there is no hardware problem.

    OS X El Capitan: use the keyboard Viewer

    If the problem persists, please reset your memory NVRAM-How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac- and report with your findings.
