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.

  • Win7/Satellite P200D - Admin Login - problem with keyboard - password is not displayed

    Hi all

    My Satellite P200D has Vista Premium o/s, was about 5 years old now

    Has worked well enough until the last of three months or more and developed a problem of restart.

    Hit restart button and it stops, then after several attempts get it at startup and on the screen that shows the internal PC Repair or Normal startup mode option. The only way that I can get to the login screen is to click on Normal mode as the automatic repair option does not work.

    Has decided to switch to Win7 to see if that would solve the problem.

    Now there is another problem, and it's the login admin password screen. The cursor flashes and any attempt to type password does not visibly show the words you type.

    Also tried and external usb keyboard does no difference

    Help, please

    Thank you

  • 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.

    have a little problem with the keyboard, and I was wondering if there was something I could do...

    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.

    I can give you some suggestions. I think the key Ctrl mechanism fits because of the debris under the key cutting.
    It of possible to remove the cup from the keyboard. Check the place around the key and try to clean it up.

    Hello

    There is an interesting problem with my laptop, it cams with Xp Home edition with 1 partition, I used partition magic to create another and then format C:, after installation of XP Pro. Install drivers one by one, now when I try to write something in anywhere like msn, notepad or Word, she wrote just a character in 1 second;

    Like when I write "trial" he write in 5 seconds... Why what happened and above all how can I work this?

    Hello

    have you tried to uninstall the pilot how you installed? Maybe you should do this, I think it's probably just a software problem and no hardware failure.
    So you can also try to set the rate of your keyboard type in Control Panel-> keyboard control-> (delay repeat, repeat rate) and maybe it s just there a setting that needs to be corrected.

    Some people said you had a problem with any of the mobile world?
    .. .hmm statement very interesting but according to her simple nonsense.

    First of all every part is covered by the warranty s notebook. Standard warranty covers material for the first month issues 12. Of course, it is possible to extend this warranty

    In case the material part will begin a malfunction within this period, the part will be replaced in the warranty conditions. Otherwise if your warranty isn't valid more and you will pay for the replacement of equipment.

    In my opinion, the material must be checked properly to get information what part is malfunctioning.
    Maybe it s just a defect of operation of the keyboard or in the worst case, the motherboard
    It is difficult to say what's wrong so far in the part was checked.

    In case the external keyboard still works correctly, the card mother isn t touched and the new keyboard should solve the problem.

  • Problem with keyboard on the Satellite C850-F0202.

    Hello

    I need urgent assistance on the keyboard of my C850-F0202.
    Without warning, the keyboard went without object.

    The only bit which seem to be affected are the shortcut keys for brightness(f2-f3), toggle (f12) wireless as well as those of the volume(f9-f10). In addition, the 'NUM LOCK' light during the restart.

    I made several suggestions and recommendations-system restore, uninstall the keyboard driver and reboot system, etc--all without success.
    In one of the occasions where I tried the system restore, I got an error message: critics of the process is dead.
    All attempts to "System Restore" ended without success.

    I am amazed, bar this problem keyboard, everything seems to work very well; start is smooth, no fuss.
    I'm at my wits end, I need more positive assistance.

    Please help, thanks!

    NB: Operating system: windows pro 8.1.

    Hello

    My personal opinion, you should check if this problem could be related to problem internal keyboard or keyboard controller.
    Connect the external USB keyboard and check if it will not work correctly.

    In case the connected USB keyboard will work not correctly, the problem is must be linked to the internal keyboard failure. To solve the problem, you must replace the internal keyboard.

  • Satellite A500-1HK: some problems with ECO Utility, touchpad, GPU

    Hi all!

    I am facing some problems with my laptop A500-1HK AND I would like to have your opinion!

    last month, the eco Utility application cannot be activated from the special keyboard of the botton at the bottom of the keyboard, although Ihear special sound because its touch botton (so it works fine). I can activate only in the start menu and then the botton in the keyboard touch would become green.

    At the top of the touchpad (mouse), there is a botton that enable / disable the touchpad. It works again.

    A few times when I'm working, the screen turns black and then after 5-7 seconds, that it becomes normal with a message that nvidia GeForce GT 330Μ had stop working but now works well! (is it something serious?)

    On the taskbar, there is an icon with a yellow exclamation point indicating the function that intel RST does not work. What is c?

    Keep in mind I have install all the drivers to the latest version, but nothing has changed! I have windows 7 64 bit GR

    Thanks in advance!

    Go to-> programs and features Control Panel
    Here are looking for ECO Utility and uninstall this software and restart the laptop

    Then visit the Toshiba UE driver page and look for the ECO utility.
    Download the software and reinstall it.

    > A few times when I'm working, the screen turns black and then after 5-7 seconds, it becomes normal with a message that nvidia GeForce GT 330? a work stoppage, but now works fine! (is it something serious?)

    The same as the ECO utility. Uninstall the screen / graphic card driver
    Download the latest driver from the Toshiba page and install it

    > To the task bar, there is an icon with a yellow exclamation point indicating the function that intel RST does not work. What is c?

    TSRI means Intel Rapid Storage Manager. It contains the SATA driver for SATA HDD controller.
    In case this does not work, reinstall it again.
