Satellite M40X-112: malfunction of the keyboard after you emptied a cup of tea

Good evening to everyone.

My girlfriend has emptied her cup of tea on his portable Satellite M40x-112.

Now everything works except the keys R, F, V, Fn.

Does anyone have experience with such a problem? The laptop is still not out of warranty.
So, I don't want to open it to clean the keys by behind.

So any advice or tips or something else (with the exception of the stupid remarks) would be useful.

Thank you...

HEY Bela,

If you're lucky then spilt tea will only have caused a short-circuit in the keyboard itself and won't not flowed through to the motherboard. In this case, it would be possible to clean the keyboard or have it replaced by an authorized Service partner (to maintain the guarantee).

Unfortunately, you will not be between the ab and do you much because it will be dismantled and that would invalidate the warranty.

Kind regards

  • Satellite A305 - how to clean the keyboard after juice spills

    Hey guys,.

    I had a the sSatellite series A305 an i could not find discussions on this exactly.
    Basically whats up's had one incident minor orange juice on the left side of the keyboard thankfully not a lot of juice to all minor.
    I managed to clean most on the surface. And had to work it's good enough to get out of the speaker box.

    However, some of the keys are a bit of stick now, i wondered if there are techniques to withdraw safely on that I must do before I try to block these keys. Hmm pressing on enter appear... in any case...

    I had one of these laptops before a few months ago, but one of the keys is broken somehow, after that, I got a little worried because I had to basically return it and get another laptop from work. If im sure it was a defective key with the last one I was not playing with keys, but I'm not sure how sustainable this is. Also this will probably also help to learn how to clean the keyboard, theres a bit of a dust and grump under the space bar which has been botherin me an i have no idea how to remove one get clean the dirt below.

    I'll check this post when I wake up in the morning. If you know the techniques of hair removal good explain please, I'm not very good with directions so patient with me.

    Hello

    To be honest, you will never be able to clean the keyboard. Break down the water is maybe not so bad, but the juice is sticky and can not be cleaned properly.
    I'm afraid that you need a new keyboard. :(

  • Satellite M40X-112: can I use the 160 GB HARD drive

    I have a Satellite M40X-112 lapptop and I want to upgrade my 80 GB to 160 GB internal drive.
    How is know possible? (Toshiba hotline cannot give me an answer only that a 80 GB drive has been tried with these lapptop!). Anyone have experience with that?

    I read several statements here in the forum about HDD upgrade on the M40X and it seems that there is a limitation in the BIOS.
    The BISO will not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive and that is why you will be not possible to install an OS or you will not be able to boot from this device.

    Please use the "advanced search" from this forum to find discussions on upgrading the HARD drive.

    Hello world

    I am the owner of a
    Satellite M40X-112
    and all in having moved my recovery CD I want to install XP anyway.

    Last thing I need is a network controller driver - probably the WLAN driver.

    If I want to download it, there are 4 options:

    + Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 +.

    + Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 / 2915 +.

    + Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945 / 4965 +.

    + Atheros Wireless LAN adapter +.

    How will I know which is the right pair?

    Thank you very much

    spinnne

    Don t you must discover. I've already done for you. :)

    Install the driver for "Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200/2915.

    It is the right one.

    Nice weekend.

  • Satellite M40x-112 - need advice on upgrade HARD disk

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M40x-112, it is almost 3 years and the hard drive (TOSHIBA MK8025GAS ATA) has problems, I need to change it, but I don't know a lot of this so I ask for help and advice on which hard drive should I buy for this laptop.

    I searched and read, but I still don't understand... In my view, there are many interfaces like PATA, SATA, ATA, then I saw ATA-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 also Ultra-ATA/100, EIDE, IDE etc etc... so I'm really confused...

    What interface using my laptop? What interface to use the new hard disk?

    And what hard drive 2.5 "is good? You will find a large number of companies, which is the best hard drives for laptops?
    My current hard drive is fat 80 GB. I would switch to 160 or 250, this guy do you recommend?

    Thank you all very much for your help,

    I understand that very well the different titles of interface HARD drive confused most people me too in the past ;)

    Then I would try to clarify some things;
    There are two important differences between the interfaces of HDD; IDE (ATA, PATA and also known as EIDE) and SATA (SATA).

    ATA - 5, Ultra ATA/66 means Ultra DMA 3, 4 (44.4, 66.7) means UDMA/66
    ATA - 6 means that ultra ATA/100 that means UDMA 5 (100) means UDMA/100
    ATA - 7, Ultra-ATA/133 means that UDMA 6 (133) means UDMA/133

    and so now ;)

    Your laptop supports the drive HARD IDE (ATA-6) Enhanced interface and you must use the IDE HDD (NOT of SATA)

    I'm not sure on the size HARD disk max because Toshiba doesn't provide official information on the max supported drives hard but a 100 GB maybe 120 GB of HARD drive might be possible.

    Best regards

  • Satellite L745 - how to remove the keyboard safely?

    Hello, people!

    I need help please. As the topic says, how to remove the keyboard?
    It's because I shared tea on my keyboard and, fortunately, no key was damaged. However, now it is sticky, and it is quite annoying!

    Can someone please help me with the entrance keys, Shift, back space * and other small keys at home.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sticky Keys?
    I really put t know if you will be able to clean the little mechanism under the CAP.

    OK you can try it. What you need to do is remove the key cap first. Pull it gently on the floor. It is set with small farmers in plastic. When the CAP is removed, you can check the situation and try to clean it up.

    When finished put the CAP in place and push it all smoothly. You will hear clicking noise and everything should be OK again. Do it for all the keys.

    Please take it very easy. If you damage this small mechanism you can immediately order new lkeyboard.

  • The bad language displayed on the LCD after you set up the printer

    HP Photosmart C4450 all-in-one printer Solution Center keeps popping up the following:

    "The wrong language displayed on the LCD after you set up the printer.

    The printer has been upward and works well for months and all of a sudden it stopped working and refusing to speak English.

    It is totally insensitive to one of the buttons pressed. The LCD screen is white and gray just glowing.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    I don't know how your printer got himself into this difficult situation, but I think a reset should back you on track.

    I think this could work to its original factory settings to install your printer.

    To do a complete reset follow these steps:

    1. disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer.

    2 do nothing for about 30 seconds.

    3 press and hold the Cancel & color copy, keep their detention now connect the power cord to the back of the printer.

    This should be left to the printer to the condition, it is in when you took it out of the box.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite A200-1AG - malfunction of the built-in keyboard

    Hi all

    Update of the BIOS Toshiba Satellite A200-1AG, but the model was wrong, she was PSAE6E and should be PSAECE.

    So everything works ok, external USB keyboard, but using the built-in keyboard certain keys fail IE:

    pressing on * e * key I get "egg".
    pressing on * i * key I get "egg".
    pressing on * 3 * key I get "38".
    pressing on * 8 * key I get "38".
    pressing on * d * key I get "d".
    pressing on *, * key I get "d".

    I used a software to quickly show the key and I all 2 keypreses cases are shown.

    When I reflash / update the correct BIOS, the problem persists.

    This happens in windows under linux OS.

    What I could do, I think it's a software / BIOS firmware error (+ could be bios code of the keyboard microcontroller? +), but I'm not sure.

    I read some comments SLIC and bios MOD, but it is more difficult for me to understand. I don't know how and if it could be useful.

    Assistance may be useful.

    Thank you

    > So everything works well, also external USB keyboard, but the built-in keyboard some keys fail IE:

    This is not a BIOS problem
    You said that external keyboard work correctly, this means that keyboard controller and BIOS is OK, but in your case the internal keyboard started to malfunction
    This means that the internal keyboard needs to be replaced

    By the way: you can not Flash the BIOS to NOT compatible version fact is that the update of the BIOS supports some sort of protection, and the update process wouldn't start using bad BIOS.
