Satellite L450 - 18 d - language keyboard problem

Hello!

I have a Toshiba Satellite L450 - 18 d, which was purchased in England in May and then sent to me to Portugal, so I chose Portuguese as default language for my keyboard. However, for the last two weeks, I had this problem: since I installed Microsoft Office 2007 and the Office SP2 update, I had this curious situation with accents - instead of see only 1 focus whenever I click on a button, I see 2 accents (with one click).

Something like this:
"(1 click); ~ ~ (1 click); ´´´ (2 clicks) and so on. This is * huge *, _because we use a lot of accents in portuguese_ - for example, I should be able to write + português + (written in Notepad) and not + Português ^ ^ are +!

Now, this does not occur when I use Notepad, but happens to all other programs (Office, Works, OpenOffice,...) and also in my browser (Mozilla Firefox). Is it possible that I can manually remove or manipulate focus associated with a specific key? I tried to change the default language of Brazilian Portuguese and uninstall Office 2007, but the problem remains... It would be associated with an update about Office?

Thanks for your time!
Petra

Hey,.

To be honest this really strange behavior...

Interesting, it would be if you remove Microsoft Office if the problem still exists or not. If so, it seems to be related to Microsoft Office and therefore, you must contact Microsoft for the detailed response.

Otherwise, you can check only the keyboard input language. Make sure that only one language is defined.

  • Satellite Pro P300-19 q - keyboard problem

    Hello

    I bought a * Satellite Pro P300-19 q * laptop and got the shipment yesterday. I am happy with the features and performance of the laptop. It has a keypad as well. The problem is the key board sinks and rises all the keys the keys (lower-right). I feel like its not secure properly. The key to this place Board feels fragile and irritating during use. Even some of my laptops at low prices to friends do not experience this problem. I can't live with it like that because it's a new laptop.
    Is there a solution to this problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Satellite Pro P300 I almost three months now and I can confirm that keyboard on this area is not stable on the other side, but it moves when I press with very great strength. Typing normal I do not use so much force and I have very sensitive keys. Just give a contact, and the symbols are on the screen. I use laptops for a year now and type on the computer keyboard is different as standard desktop with large and robust keys keyboard.

    To be honest, I don't see any problem here. Maybe you use to force much press. If you check the mechanism under the keyboard protects it's so small and sensitive, and you can press the keys very gently.

    So for me there is no problem at all. If you think that the keyboard should be more service contact stabile and explain the situation.

  • Satellite A30: For those inventive keyboard problem

    Hello

    My problem is that I spilled juice on my Satellite A30. Since MN then. keys on the keyboard do not respond. I think it has to do with the fact that the juice having disappeared left a sort of insulation under the buttons. I wonder if anyone can advise me on the following:

    1. How can I remove the keyboard off Satellite A30? The manual does not give an indication on it.

    2. is it possible to remove faulty buttons, clean the surface below them and put back them without any problem? I heard that once removed laptop keyboard buttons cannot be placed back correctly.

    3 should. what solution I use to clean the remains of juice? My only idea is to use some sort of soapy solution.

    4 wouldn't be allright just to put the keyboard without removing faulty buttons in a solution and keep it for a while until all the juice remains are taken away? The keyboard let completely dry and replace in place? Or, maybe there is a way to disassemble the keyboard in order to break the circuit so that it can be cleaned without worries?

    I hope you people help me get through this question cause I don't want to spend a fortune on a new keyboard, as people in the service center possibly won't bother to clean up my keybard and will just get away with ordering a new.

    OK, thanks for your ideas and consideration.

    Hello

    If the buttons just does not have the "n" and am ' ones, then you may be able to clean adequately without the need to disassemble your A30.

    First, you need to remove the covered buttons involved. To do this gently prising upward from the bottom edge of each button (use the SPACEBAR as a rest for a small flat blade so that you can lift buttons up. Once the keys are deleted (not to lose) you will be able to see the cantilever spring mechanism that makes electrical contact when you press it. Carefully clean the area with a small cotton swab (or even a small brush) and a lot of alcohol isoproyl (or an electrical contact, cleaning solution). I hope that this will restore the normal operation of the keys.

    To replace the top key locate top edge first and lower aid in position and apply progressive pressure the bottom of the key top until your feel/hear a 'click '.

    If all else fails, then you need to replace the keyboard, but fortunately, they are not too expensive (about £65 I remember well).

    Good luck

  • On Satellite Pro C50-A-1HP keyboard problems

    I have seen other issues of keyboard on the thread, but none of them do not seem to match mine!

    I got this computer since January and already have problems with the keyboard. The main problem is the left arrow key - it works when I press on the left side, but not if I press on the other side of the key.

    I also have the feeling that the other keys do not always work as well as it should - sometimes, I know that I pressed a button, but the letter does not appear. It's just random and sporadic I can say (while the key problem of the arrow is consistent).

    I would be grateful if anyone has any advice on this problem and if that means getting a new keyboard, or if it can be easily fixed.

    Thank you!

    On the virtual path that is not easy to say why you have this questions but as much as I know there is not some difficulty for her.

    I think keyboard must be exchanged.

  • Satellite C50-A-1DV - mouse / keyboard problem

    Just bought this laptop and have heard of problems with the keyboard and mouse.
    It happened to me today.

    The mouse stops just in response to the movement of the keyboard.
    Thought that update of Windows 8 may have changed / added something so this causes rolled the driver in Device Manager that was available as an option, but now is not.

    The mouse still works sometimes and sometimes not. If I press F5 it sometimes is.

    using the FN and F5 took me to the keyboard layout where I set the keyboard to the default setting and it worked well for a while and then stopped again.

    Someone suggested removing the battery and now the switch for 20 seconds, but has nothing actually. Is an appropriate solution for this outside assistance from a separate mouse?

    All thoughts welcome.

    Thank you

    Dave

    Hello Deborah

    The touchpad could be simply disabled in case where you have not checked it in the past, the combination of keys try Fn + F5 to switch from a touchpad on/OFF function.

    In case this does not resolve your problem, reinstall the electric Synaptics and Alps Touchpad driver.
    Both can be found and downloaded from the Toshiba UE driver page:

  • Satellite L555 - 11L - Sound and keyboard problem

    (1) 2 months after the purchase, laptop began screaming sound. He brought back to Fnac, they restored the system. The screeching starts now if the level of speakers is higher than 50% or if I plug headphones with microphone. Making it difficult to use Skype. What could be the cause?

    ((2) recently, keyboard became slow - Return key and SPACEBAR react unless you press several times and 'double letters' (repeat) will not work unless I stop everything first before typing the new letter--regardless of the letter). I tried to change the properties of keyboard long/short, delay/frequency, no difference. Browsing the forum, I noticed that + users with similar problems also have a computer laptop french keyboard +. Would he be there? What should I try how can I set the properties of the keyboard, anyway?

  • Satellite M105-S1021 - delay of keyboard problem

    My keyboard does not work right. Just typing this is atrocious. When I press a button, I have to hold it down for a good three seconds until the letter is displayed. I tried to reboot several times, I've defragmented, I checked my keyboard settings in the Control Panel, I uninstalled the only program that I installed in the last month or more - this following Asian thing so I can display Japanese characters on my computer - no luck.

    I really don't want to have to buy a new keyboard or laptop. My laptop is only a little less than two years.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Basically, I have my laptop for writing.

    Can you get somewhere external keyboard and test how it works? It will be interesting to see if the problem persists.

    The fact is that you use the keyboard very intensely and perhaps that the contacts are not so good more.

  • Satellite Pro C50 keyboard problems - A - 1 L 6

    Hello

    I just bought this new Satellite Pro.

    I have installed all the drivers and updated the bios to the latest version, but I still have the same problem: when I write, many times my keyboard writes double letters (for example, all ten words written keyboard a letter double, as "keybboard").

    I tried also to change the properties of the keypad on the control panel of Windows 8, but nothing has changed.

    I called support, but they just told me that I have to bring my laptop in a helpdesk: but I need my new computer to work, and I wouldn't be happy to lose at least 4 weeks!

    And, support told me that, if the laptop has no hardware problem, I would have to pay for assistance...
    .
    So, this is my first experience and unlucy in the world of Toshiba...
    Is there someone who can give me some advice to solve this problem?
    It may be a problem running on the new laptops, and someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you very much!

  • Boot with Win7 32 bit and Satellite L450-36 problems

    A friend has a laptop Toshiba Satellite L450-36 Windows 7 32-bit which he thinks has been hit by a Virus. He went to use the laptop a few weeks 3 + ago and concluded that it would not initialize. Now, he has 3 daughters who, before this problem, much used YouTube and say that they were able to see updates Adobe Flash Player appear on the screen at regular intervals, but they have deleted the. When he came to talk about the problem for me, I offered to watch the machine that I have some disks that can cure or at least let me save records Paragon Rescue Kit, Avira Anti Virus Rescue Disk, AVG Rescue Disk & others.

    When I turn on the machine I get a screen with boot Toshiba Leading Innovation one
    Press [F2] for INSTALLATION, press [F12] to the lower boot device selection menu. I leave the machine in operation and a window pops up let me the choice of {HD1}, , , but nothing happens when I select one, then I stop the machine and start again, this time by pressing F2 which takes me into the BIOS. I put in a cd, Paragon Rescue Kit 11, arrived on the BIOS and the CD starts. I did the same thing with the Avira Anti Virus system and it found 4 infections. He then lets me copy all my friend (s) files on an external hard drive, which allows me to complete objectives.

    I started the Recovery CD/DVD Toshiba product and I get a Windows loading files message followed by a bar of Microsoft Corporation loading under him and then there is a black screen with a cursor on it. I did the same thing with a system Windows 7 32-bit repair disc and get the same result black screen empty.

    I am retired and to my knowledge has been gained since the Commodore 64 days, then Amiga and PC now, but it isn't enough for me to fix this problem. I found very frustrating to be able to use a Linux program and see all the programs on the PC, but not actually being able to restart it, and start them! I could probably Boot & Nuke the hard drive, but my friend wasn't t provided with a disc of Windows 7 o/s system couldn t so re-installed without buying again.

    I would be very grateful for any advice on how to get rid of the HD1/FLOPPY/NEXT HD window and a solution for the portable computer so that it starts properly. I took pictures of different screens on the laptop that I could pass if they would help.

    In my opinion, you should remove the HARD drive and connect it to another computer and perform low level set in shape and just delete everything. You can use a tool like this and after doing this put back and try to install the original recovery image using the recovery disk.

    In the past I ve never had these problems, but I think it's the best way to remove all the viruses or malicious applications.
    Test it and thanks for posting comments.

    Hi noor21

    If you have similar issues using internal and external keyboard, then I recommend you to run a recovery process that would fix the laptop back to factory settings.

    After this check, if your BIOS is up to date.

    If the keyboard problem will always appear even if you define the laptop back to factory settings, you must contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba because the keyboard failure may be related to hardware problems.

  • Keyboard does not work on Satellite L450

    I'm trying to fix a Satellite L450-181 for a friend.

    I had to replace the hard drive because a friend has tried to load Yahoo messenger and when restarting the laptop screen to tell a file is missing or corrupt, but we were able to have access to the keyboard except the mouse and touchpad.

    I replaced the hard drive and reloaded windows 7 64 bits on a disc of Microsoft that we were unable to find the Toshiba restore disk. Everything works fine after downloading all the drivers of Toshiba except the keyboard. The keyboard appears in the device as Manager works well without conflicts, but I can't not all functions of the keyboard at all.

    I suspect my friend has locked the keyboard in a certain way or there is a setting that I need to activate, but I am at a loss for what to try next as I rebooted the utility of flash, the utility of PPV card, tried the Fn / Fn/F10 and F11 combinations without success.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300.
    The original keyboard started acting fuynny after, in my opinion, it was abandoned.
    He began to record two characters on 1 button on a few letters and the '1' key was also acting as the tab key.

    I decided to change the keyboard for a brand new, but nothing helps...
    I'm a bit stuck now to know where to start troubleshooting.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    > The original keyboard started acting funny after that, in my view, it was abandoned.
    If the laptop has been abandoned or not?
    I think it's very important to know if the laptop has been abandoned or not because the other pieces of equipment that are likely to be affected.
    I mean it would be possible that this keyboard or motherboard controller is affected due to the fall of the laptop.

    I put t think that someone here might be able to help you if the laptop was dropped, then you should ask a technician for a verification of the material may be there is a party who is affected and must be replaced, but material must be checked to know
