• Satellite C660 - problem with the IKEA 3D viewer

  Hi guys, I'm having a problem using Ikea kitchen on my wife Satellite C660-26Z Scheduler using Windows 7 64 bit. Its done online on the website of ikea. An add-on is used called 20-20 3d viewer for ikea. I tried Chrome, Firefox, and IE9.

  Chrome add on is unable to load which gives an error message "cannot load viewer. In Firefox, nothing happens and IE9 crashes constantly. I searched all kinds of forums and found nothing that helps.

  I have a desktop with XP and it works without problem. My daughter has a Toshiba laptop not running Windows 7 and once again no problem.

  I compared the settings as far as my limited knowledge will allow between two laptops and can see no difference between them.

  I would be very grateful if anyone has any ideas because my wife made my head!

  Thanks in advance.

  A few minutes ago I tested on my Win7 laptop. Opera is not supported. Chrome has trouble with extensions, applications, and user scripts but on IE9, it works perfectly.

  Try to reinstall IE.

• Satellite C660 - problem with the upgrade from 4 GB to 8 GB

  Hello

  I have a Satellite C660-124 64-bit with Windows 7.

  I tried to extend the RAM of 4 GB (2x2gb) up to 8 GB (4x2Go), but the laptop is stuck on the 'Starting Windows' screen (I've already updated the BIOS and also if I tried with a new installation, the problem is the same).

  Aries is Kingston 4 GB PC3L - 12800 CL11 204 pins SODIMM

  Please
  Thank you to

  Well well, its certainly possible to increase the RAM up to 8 GB of RAM.
  Your case looks like a new RAM isn t entirely compatible or the module could be defective.

  Toshiba says that the DDR3 RAM (1 066 MHz) 4 GB RAM PA3677U-1M4G module should be fully compatible.

  The module PA3677U-1M4G should be the same as the module of Kingston KTT1066D3 / 4G
  You certainly need a module SODIMM DDR3 1066 Mhz PC3 - 8500 204 pins.

• Problem with keyboard on the M60 (characters to jump)

  I bought an M60 for my wife and she complained that he jumps constantly characters. I found the same problem. For example, type in the URLS in internet explore or composing emails, he will be missed by 10% of the time characters. I saw a couple of posting on this topic in the forums.

  Good old Dixons refused to refund purchases as someone called me today to say that she cannot see any problem with the keyboard.

  Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

  Hello Chris

  Unfortunately, the problem can be fixed with some kind of firmware. I spoke with Toshiba and this is known issue and they also said that Toshiba do some tests with the new keyboards and when this will be resolved customers can expect a help about it.

  If I understand right, there is a problem with the contacts of the button. As you know that it is the new keyboard with numeric keypad and not the standard. Sorry, but for now, need you a little patience. If you want you can also try to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner in your country. Maybe they have the same information. Talk with them. A consultation is free.

  Good luck!

• Satellite M50-130 with keyboard problem

  When my Satellite M50 starts, typing in the password box is not a problem, the sound when I reach this point and try to type in word or in internet explore or play a game.
  The same key cannot be presses twice in a row. For example, to type WWW I must press W, wait a second, then press W again and so on, otherwise it only type 1 W.

  The same thing with all the keys and I can not play with the arrow keys as you can not, for example, not side twice in a game as I have the same m key in quick succession.

  Any ideas? Cheers, Jim

  Hello Jim

  My colleague from work the same As model of mobile and he uses it to Web design and type a few codes to our database. From time to time, I'm sitting near his office and several times I looked at what he do exactly. Believe me that there are no such problems.

  It is important to say that his book is preinstalled with recovery image and slightly modified for our enterprise security needs.

  Can you please tell us since when you noticed this problem with keyboard? Are you also using recovery image and have you ever tried to fix this somehow? Have you noticed any other strange questions about your Satellite phone as a disk busy, high utilization of the processor or something similar?

  Hey guys,.

  In the past months, my laptop had become almost unusable.

  It began with the key odd work stoppage or becomes difficult to use, but now it happened to many of them and last night my touch pad stopped working all together.

  I'm not really a tech head and fight with it.

  I have a Toshiba satellite C660 28 T.

  Any help would be thank you very much.
  Maybe even a factory reset?

  I don't know how to proceed.

  Hello

  With regard to the problem of keyboard:

  From my point of view of the few sounds of keyboard described as a material problem internal related dysfunction... probably in order to solve this problem, the keyboard should be replaced... just to make sure that your internal keyboard is affected, please join the external USB keyboard and check if it works properly.
  If you see any problems, the problem is no doubt by a malfunctioning internal keyboard and as mentioned earlier, you will need to replace the keyboard.

  Regarding the touchpad:

  I'm not sure if the two issues are interrelated, but the touchpad can be disabled by using the function keys... I recommend you to check this... (function key details are also in the user manual)... you can also try reinstalling the touchpad drive.

  Tip: this forum contains many discussions about similar problems... so I recommend you to read the recommendations posted in this community.

• Satellite L555 - 11 L - problem with keyboard

  Hello!

  I have a keyboard problem with my SATELLITE L555 - 11L. I noticed the first week after I bought it, so I think he's always been there.

  Description of the problem:

  It's as if some characters were swallowed, fairly regularly. It is not a specific key, it can happen on any character, about all 20 characters. Sometimes, on the contrary, some letters are doubled.
  It happens when I write fast. And this isn't always but: when I just plugged in my computer, it works fine. It seems that this happens after having been plugged in for a while. But I was not able to assess this 'time '. Sometimes, it is quite short (2 hours).
  If I keep a key pressed (all), the characters do not commonly appear on-screen. There are regular "jerks" (each 20 characters? I can't really measure).
  This is a very annoying problem, it annoys me when I write an email, that I often...

  What I tried:

  -It happens in every text field (Notepad, in a text box in IE, Firefox and Chrome, in MSN, etc...)
  -I am on WIndows 7. I tried on a CD bootable Linux (Ubuntu), the same problem appears
  -J' tried to write with an external USB keyboard: I do not reproduce the problem
  -with or without battery: same problem
  -J' I updated my BIOS with the update that is available on your site web (from 2010.03.12 if I remember correctly), but it changed nothing.

  I wrote my problem in a forum format hardware. Only one seems to have the same problem as mine. He returned to his PC to Toshiba, they changed the keyboard, but the problem is still there.

  I would like to know if this is a known issue and if you have suggestions of everything I could try before you contact Toshiba and let my precious computer for several weeks... (with the risk that it may return to the same State :().

  Thanks in advance!

  Helen.

  Hello

  I read in some forums on the same keyboard problem.
  Some characters were not displayed when you type faster
  I read that an update of the BIOS has helped a lot of guys has disabled the touchpad too and this has improved the performance of keyboard

  So I recommend you try it.

• Problem with keyboard on the Satellite L50 - has

  Hello

  I have the model L50 - A Satellite and all typing today, whenever I type a letter on the /eyboard (of the previous word it should be easy to understand what letter it is!) it is replaced by / (slash).

  My computer is only a couple of months and is very well cared for (without food or liquids allowed near him!). I've heard many people having a problem with the letters being substituted by numbers, which I think is a num loc / problem. I've tried, even restored computer to factory settings, but still no luc /!

  I hope someone may be able to help out me?
  That / s :)

  > tried, even restored computer to factory settings, but still no luc /!
  I m there is a problem with the hardware of the keyboard, and I guess that everything would work correctly using external USB keyboard. If you do not have to test this in the past, I would advise you do this just to confirm that the use of the external keyboard wouldn t be a problem.

  I guess that there is no other way for you to replace the internal keyboard with a new one.
  I assume that the warranty is still valid, because the L50 - A is new to the market and therefore, you should contact the Toshiba authorized service provider to get it fixed for free.

• Satellite A500 / big problem with keyboard

  Hello everyone, first sorry for my English, I'm French!

  Anyway, since 2 days now my Satellite A500 has a big keyboard problem and I don't know how to fix it. I used it as usually, just cleaned each week arriving at work with a simple cloth and after starting my computer, when I started typing, I realized that the keyboard has disappeared as a "madman".

  Some keys are reversed, others like the space bar just doesn't work anymore, capslock button now unlock with the key has and another example, when I press D writes 'CD' and other stuff like that. It is simply impossible to type correctly. I'm running on Windows 7, I have the first test to look for any kinf of viruses, vain, so I formatted my hard drive, reinstalled Windows 7, then after I did the update to the Bios and now everything is clear and clean, but the keyboard problem is still there.

  The fact is that I have this laptop since August 2009 and my warranty no longer applies, so before I should send my computer to any computer repair store I want to know if it's really a problem of keyboard/equipment which can be fixed, "softwarely" or if there is always some kind of alternative for me.

  Thanks to all for your future responses.

  Hello

  Crazy keyboard?
  Hmm. Don t think that it s software or related bios looks more keyboard problem.
  You can try to plug an external USB keyboard to check if the problem would be also available
  If it s not available using the external USB keyboard, then it s internal problem of keyboard and the part needs to be replaced.

  Keyboard replacement is not difficult. The keyboard is secured by two or three screws that are hidden under the cover of thin plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons.
  Remove the plastic cover, remove the screws, lift the keyboard, disconnect the cable (notice, two tiny locks on the connector needs to be moved).
  Then, you would be able to remove the cable of the flat keyboard which is connected to the mobo.

  But if you have no experience, then you this replacement must be done by laptop computer technician.

• Problem with keyboard on Satellite L500-128

  Hi all

  I'm having some problems with the keyboard on my Satellite L500-128 - essentially; 8, 9, i, o, k, l and comma and period keys do not work.

  All other keys are working perfectly fine (I use an external keyboard if people wonder!)

  I'm technically minded but I was wondering if its worth disassemble the laptop and have one eye or if someone has had this problem with this laptop before - or if someone has any ideas with what he could fix.

  I tried to do a reset of the laptop (battery and pressing power button) I reinstalled the operating system, but the keyboard still has problems in the BIOS too.

  Hello

  In my opinion and as suggested by Liam, it looks like a simple keyboard malfunction and to solve this problem, the keyboard needs to be replaced.

  The Toshiba service in your country partner could replace the defective
  Otherwise, you could try to replace it yourself, but if you are a beginner and if you have no experience, ask a support technician.

  While the time guarantee everything that needs to be done, I want to tell all the costs will be covered by the warranty.

  the problem is sometimes when I am typing the keyboard, it will get stuck at random with the Ctrl key is pressed. I did no successful diagnosis as to what could be the cause of this, so I hope I can get it fixed here.

  Thanks in advance,
