Satellite L500 - CTRL keys stopped working

The two CTRL buttons have stopped working on my Toshiba L500, I think they may have inadvertently been extinct as all other keys on the keyboard are in perfect working condition.

Is there a way to toggle the buttons CTRL?

Try please press CTRL + ALT + FN and check if that helps.
Please post comments. I would like to know if this will help.

  • both Ctrl keys stop working on R61i

    Hi, this is my first post. I tried the search function, but couldn't find the answer.

    I've owned several ThinkPads since the R30 and they have always been reliable. (My wife and I still have this R30 more 3 R40s and 2 R61s)

    R61i my wife developed a problem (under XP Pro). The Ctrl keys no longer work.

    I can copy and paste by using the menu, right click menu, or on the keypad of the screen.

    If I go to Notepad, press Ctrl + c, the 'c' character is typed.

    I found Windows "Narrator" who will speak the names of the keys when you press. It is quiet when you press a Ctrl key.

    I think it is strange that both Ctrl keys stop working at the same time that would make me assume that it's not the physical keys themselves.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

  • Satellite A300 - some keys stopped working after downgrde from Vista to XP

    Hello

    Excuse me for my bad English. I have a problem with my Satellite A 300 PSAG4E-0450. Operating system went from Vista to XP. Easy keys, keys shortcut and illumination stopped working. All the drivers have been downloaded. I tried to find it in Control Panel-> Toshiba controls. I changed to bright power, but this isn't work. If I try to turn it off, I see a window with "choose order".

    What can be wrong?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello!

    As far as I know, the lighting can be disabled and enabled in the BIOS.
    Check it!

    To shortcut keys, you should try to install the Toshiba controls and utilities hotkey.

  • Satellite A30 - CTRL key not working

    Sometimes windows think the ctrl key is taped. The only way to compensation, is if I restart the system. It becomes more coherent, more I use the laptop and is a great nuesance

    Hello Ewan

    There are certain shortcomings. Maybe the contact is really stuck on. You can try to remove the plastic part and clean the contact or communicate with the service partner if there is no success. Be careful because all parts are very sensitive and can damage it.

  • Satellite R630 - special keys stopped working

    I just got my R630 I started to delete some of the 'useless' software, and some of the special FN keys on my keyboard no longer works as the wireless switch keys, the keyboard power button more eco and display buttons on the top right of the keyboard output.

    Any ideas on how to restore then? Thank you

    Hey,.

    Why you deleted the software? I mean Toshiba install all the necessary drivers and tools that you can use your correctly with all the features of easy. Then why you remove the tools from Toshiba?

    In any case, you need Toshiba Value added Package, and Flash Cards Support utility. These two tools control the FN keys where you can turn off WLAN, touchpad, etc..

  • Satellite L500-19th - Microphone stops working after a few words

    Hello

    About 2 weeks I have a new 19th L500 with Windows 7 and it worked fine. But since a few days I have trouble with my microphone, no matter if I use the internal or an external headset/mic. The question is it seems to work for a few seconds only, for example try a call via Skype, teamspeak etc. but people don't hear my Hello and a few more words, then they only hear me very well. The parameters of all them seem to be good and I already downloaded/installed the latest drivers realtek, but nothing is.

    Anyone have an idea what can be the problem and how to fix it?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Really strange, stammann. Have you also tried to update the driver for the webcam? I ask this question because the microphone is a part of the webcam, then you also need to update this driver. Just check the Toshiba page for an update:

    You also enabled amp Microphone? You can check it in the audio settings of Windows.

  • Satellite L500-13W - FN key stop working

    Hello everyone

    I have a problem, all of a sudden, without doing anything, my * FN keys stop working *. The adjustment of the brightness first always worked without appearing in the bar at the top of the screen, but when I restart the computer even no work, nothing in relation to the FN key works.

    My biggest problem is that my computer is a Toshiba Satellite L500-13W and * I can only activate wireless by pressing FN + F8 *. I can't stay with this issue much more. I already looked in this forum and other sites, but none of the solutions have solved my problem.

    (Sorry for my bad English) :|

    Oh I forgot to say, I use Windows Vista 32 bit

    Hello

    > I already looked in this forum and other sites, but none of the solutions have solved my problem.
    Does that mean exactly? What have you already tried exactly?
    You should post this very important information what you exactly did.

    Furthermore, I can't find any more information about your operating system. You are using Vista 32-bit, but is this preinstalled Toshiba or have you installed yourself?

  • Satellite A105-S4254: several keyboard keys stop working after startup

    Hey

    I have a laptop A105-S4254, which is less than a year.
    When I boot it upward a few minutes most of the keys stopped working.
    The F keys will however continue to work.
    I can laugh with the brightness and activate / disable the num lock and scroll but I can't type.

    A number of key just freeze.
    When I reboot the keys work for a few minutes and then stop working again.

    Please help me with suggestions and solutions.
    Thanx

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a hardware problem. Maybe it s the keyboard or keyboard controller itself.
    But first, you must be sure that this failure was not due to a software problem.
    Therefore, it would be desirable to update the system and install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    If the keyboard problem appears again, I'd recommend contacting the ASP in your country to control the laptop.

    It seems that the guarantee could be valid for all replacements must be done for free.

  • Satellite M30: FN keys not working not not after installing IE7

    I installed IE7 and noticed that the fn keys no longer work. (Satellite M30)
    I don't know if it was the catalyst because I do not know how long the problem has been.

    The only ones I use often are FN + f6 and f7 +.
    I really need to be able to adjust the brightness of the screen. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    First lights up the screen can be changed also in the Toshiba Power Saver utility.

    But it s very strange that, after the IE7 update the FN keys stopped working. I installed the IE7 on my laptop, and the FN keys still work very well.

    So maybe it of a simply wrung something in the registry. Who knows?  :|
    I recommend reinstalling the common Modules.

    Maybe it helps!

  • Control on my Aspire V5 keys stopped working

    Control on my Aspire V5 keys have stopped working. All other keys are fine. I use Windows 10. I even re-installed the Launch Manager.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You talk of the control (ctrl) key, why do you that Manager launch could help you? I don't think that's a software problem. Is probably a problem with keyboard and you need a replacement keyboard.

    In any case if you still think the problem is software related, you can always try to boot a live CD of ubuntu (or USB) and see if the ctrl key is working. But I highly doubt.

  • on my laptop of his fathers ' key stopped working and now he cannot get on his laptop because the password has a S in there.

    original title: laptop trouble

    Good so recently on my laptop of his fathers has ' key stopped working and now he cannot get on his laptop because the password has a S in there. He tried to clean the key to bored all possible ways, and nothing works. He wondered if he had a Ctrl function that would allow him to put a s with the key or bypass the password lock. Also, it has no access to a USB keybored.

    If the account in question was not the built-in account named Administrator, and then log on to that account and go to control panel > users to change the password.

    The password for the administrator built-in account is blank (no password).

    To connect to the built-in Administrator account:

    Reboot safe mode: press F8 immediately after power on.  The administrator account is displayed on the homescreen mode without failure.

  • Some keys stop working after the update of the Sierra (only for a specific profile)

    After update to Sierra my keyboard worked well for a while.  But at random, U I O P J K L keys stopped working.

    The bug only shows 1 profile. If I create another profile new profile keyboard works very well.

    Anyone know what that sometimes caused that and with the fix is?

    Hello ExcelsiorPath,

    After reviewing your post, it seems that several keys do not work on a single profile. This looks like an option that may have been changed.  I recommend you to read this article, it may be able to help solve the problem.

    If the other keys do not work

    You may have accidentally set an option that changes your keyboard works.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click keyboard. Make sure that slow keys is turned off. If slow keys is enabled, you will need to keep a key longer than usually before it is recognized.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click mouse and Trackpad. Make sure that the mouse keys is turned off. If the mouse keys is enabled, pressing the keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering the numbers.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click keyboard, and then click input methods. Select "Show the menu in the menu bar." Open the menu entry, then make sure that the correct keyboard layout is selected.

      To display the keyboard layout, click keyboard, and then choose "See the viewers for emoji keyboard symbols in the menu bar."

    One of my keys stopped working. He was physically, * ut (yep, it's this... a * cd key) the letter appears on the screen in all programs.
    It worked fine yesterday, * ut today he was dead when I turned on the computer.

    Well, maybe it s a keyboard problem and the whole keyboard must be replaced because it s not possible to repair only the unique keys

    Then contact the ASP in your country and ask for help.
