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?

  • Drivers XP for Satellite M50 - 130 PSM51E required

    Hello

    I think I may have made a big mistake.

    An elderly parent gave me his Toshiba Satellite to "clean". I just ahead and reinstalled XP Home on thinking that I could simply reinstall all drivers by downloading the Toshiba web site. (as I have done for other portable parents)

    XP Home installed using an existing drive and use the MS code on the label under the lap top.

    However, I am now very nervous because I can't find the drivers on the Toshiba web site for this product and I have a load of unknown/other devices in Audio/video/ethernet/mass storage device manager.

    I took a guess at the wireless driver and have wifi work so I'm online and you have activated Windows.

    Can someone point me in the right direction for all drivers please.

  • In the brand-new Satellite L50-A-1EK keyboard problem

    Hello

    I bought new Toshiba Satellite L50-A-1EK 18/04/2014.
    I unboxed my computer and I have "little problem" with keyboard.
    It is really hard to push 'g' and 'h' actually these buttons only works when im pushing hard.

    There is a reason to go to the shop with warranty card or can I fix it myself?

    Thaks for answer.

    Something like this can be repaired. I recommend you contact your ocal dealer and ask for replacement.

  • Satellite M50-130 does not BSOD appears

    The M50-130 apparently won't let you run unless it is on the lowest power setting imaginable. At first I thought it was windows, reinstalled, even tried linux, same blockages.

    Blockages were handed over to instant zero or random messages on the BSOD. He continues to go with power setting as low.

    The strange is that he is not a homogeneous heat since I left it off and even without a block or anything plugged for hours and even in this case got the symptoms. To make it work, the only way is to leave the lowest imaginable setting on the thingimagy of power on the taskbar on the cpu and leave it there.

    I have used it on the establishment of an average of one day and worked, but then he hooked again on a game.

    I thought at some point it is the RAM, nope, checked and was not the only mistake I could get on the verification of memory, but a blocking/total system reboot.

    Then I thought it was the omega drivers, I replaced the with the default drivers of toshiba, always the same. Of course, I'm afraid that these driver updates could have a damaging effect, but anyway.

    The behavior of the random/blockages on BSOD messages seem to be quite randomly, but it seems to stabilize when I boot just windows and leave it on a lower power setting, I did ('1' constant cpu, consumption of energy optimal or 2 ")

    There is no guarantee and I really need a laptop NOW, so you'll understand that I'm left with two options: either quickly fix any way I can, or just buy a new laptop.

    Hello Lela

    Your troubleshooting is really impressive and everything you've tried is good, but you should ask yourself is it really something else you can try? I don't think so. If the problem persists after the installation of clean operating system (recovery image) then there must be a serious problem. I can't say with certainty what may be the problem but the technicians of the authorized service provider.

    Make a call and let check the laptop. They may be able to fix this YOUNG.
    Sorry, but I don't really see another option for you.

    In the end I just say: compare the price of repairs with prices of some new notebooks and I believe you all need to make the decision.

  • Satellite A660 - upgrade with keyboard backlight

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660-141. Initially, it was without backlid keyboard, but I recently bot a replacement with feature backlit for my laptop, but when I connect all backlit do not work... Can someone help me to activate it? All the world has the same replacement?

    http://1drv.Ms/1grM9M8

    Hello

    I have this model of laptop, but AFAIK this light in the BIOS option is for function buttons. With this option, you can enable/disable illumination for these buttons.
    In my opinion it has nothing to do with the keyboard.
    Mobile phones with keyboard backlit have BIOS option for keyboard only and you don't have it so I think that it is not supported by the BIOS and upgrade is not possible.

  • Satellite M50 - 130 - Touch and launch software does not

    Hello

    I recently had my reinstalled M50 - 130 as he had a huge virus problem and the man who did it, did not reinstall all my drivers and utilities, so I've downloaded from the Toshiba page.

    Problem I have is that the software ' touch and launch "doesn't appear when I clicked through my Start menu or via my computer, I tried, put it back, but not luck. Anyone got any ideas? Because miss me it!

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The launch and the Touch utility is available on the European driver from Toshiba website. It s a 1.2.7.0 version. The Touch and the launch is a program to facilitate various functions using the touch pad.
    After installation, you should see it in the touchpad settings.

    You know the installation of drivers and tools?
    It s a little more tricky, the proper installation order is necessary to run the application correctly.
    You can find the installation instructions in the document of Toshiba, which was placed on the driver page.

    Believe me, many years ago, I was a newbie to Toshiba, but since several facilities of OS on my two computers laptop Toshiba, I discovered that the proper installation order is very important and necessary.

  • Satellite M50 CD/DVD burning problems

    I recently puirchased a Satellite M50 with the CD/DVD Multi-lecteur. Toshiba literature indicates that it can write both write - once and several CD and DVD - writing.

    While I can burn on CD - RW and DVD - RW (DVD + RW) I can't burn discs CD - R or DVD-R (or DVD + R). The error message is something in the sense of ' does not support the driver (or reader) write once discs.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Well, it's not easy to say why you can t burn on some media. Maybe it s a malfunction of the media?
    Have you tried to burn CDs or DVDs from different manufacturers?
    I use TDK media and I m very happy. I found an interesting article on the CD/DVD burning.

  • Satellite M50-165 memory upgrade problem

    Hello
    I realized that I bought a model that is only sold in Saudi Arabia. This is the model of Satellite M50-165. I want to improve the memory, I bought memory from EBAY who said it works in M50 sieries, but he did not.

    I read all the manuals in Toshiba, tried to contact by phone, they said that they do not have this model.

    in any case, I'd appreciate any help in that matter, as I am looking to upgrade the system to its full potential, I guess 2 Giga.

    This description of the model:

    Model name: Satellite M50-165

    MP 740/512 / 60 G 54/14WBT/DS2/LM/W

    Please advice me!

    Hello

    you bought the bad RAM. You need DDR333/PC2700 memory for your machine (which is expandable to 2 GB). If you're lucky, then return/sell memory and buy a RAM with the specifications described above.

  • Satellite A-Z30-16F - keyboard problem

    Hi, this is my first post in this forum

    I have big problems with the keyboard on my Satellite Z30-A-16th.
    Two keys have fallen and I can't get back in because the 'hooks' that hold the key are folded or dropped.
    The worst is that the other two keys are 'loose' and sometimes 'stuck' or fall.

    Anyone have the same problems with this keyboard? It's under warranty?

    Should be covered by the warranty. I did have problems with the keys from the keyboard.

  • Satellite C670-11 q - keyboard problem ' e give. "

    Hello everyone,

    I have a problem on a Toshiba Satellite C670-11 q with windows Seven

    When I pocket on:

    e gives ".
    t gives)
    u give e
    I give!
    o give c

    And if I use SHIFT:
    e gives 3
    t gives 5
    u give 7
    I give 8
    o give 9

    I already uncheck the filter keys and the problem persists. It's strange because it's the same thing with Ubuntu (also installed on this laptop).

    All work equally well with a usb keyboard.

    The problem comes from the sleep of the cat on the keyboard :)

    You have an idea?

    Sorry for my bad English

    Thank you very much
    Have a nice evening
    Jluc

    > All work equally well with a USB keyboard.

    For me, looks like the keyboard would be defective.
    The point is that if the USB keyboard is OK the problem may not be related to software settings.
    Therefore, hardware failure.

    Get in touch with the Toshiba ASP in your country and ask for a check of keyboard and replacement

    Hello

    I put t have it, but best friend of my girlfriend had it and I installed and configured this machine so I got it in my hands and I must say that the keyboard is OK, and I didn't notice anything unusual.

    Also, talk with your local dealer to return option. In my country I have 14 days to return the product if I don't like it. Maybe you have the same option in your country. Check it out.

    In any case, I must also say that the Satellite Pro L670 is good laptop for all activities of the day. Nice design, very good material and enough power/performance. With other words: nice piece of hardware for the money.

  • On Satellite Pro L870-173 keyboard problem

    Hi, I am the owner of a laptop from the Satellite Pro L870-173.
    By writing an e-mail the keyboard functions has changed.
    Some keys have a different meaning, examples

    Space lab = o
    4 = o v4v4
    c = the optioo for a secodon display

    What can I do?
    Is originally a default keyboard?
    Do anyone have an idea?

    The system is a 6v4 - bit win8o
    The keyboard settings is always the same: German language

    Thank you very much!

    > Do someone has an idea?
    Yes, I have an idea.

    > Is originally a default keyboard?
    I m afraid, Yes.

    You can confirm my idea connection external USB keyboard to the laptop.
    In case your external keyboard would work correctly, the problem is definitely related to the internal keyboard.

  • Satellite M50-130: no sound from speakers but helmet works well

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite with Harmon/Kardon speakers, using the Realtek AC97 Audio sound card. For some reason there is no sound coming out of laptop speakers, but when I connect earphones I get the sound perfectly fine, if clearly is not a volume control number. Device Manager indicates that the sound card works fine.

    I tried the system restore, and it does not work. Can someone help me please?

    Thank you! :)

    Looks a bit like a problem with the speakers for laptop
    The graphics card and the audio driver works very well if the sound is coming through the headphones.

    In this case, the technician should be contacted because everything looks like a hardware problem.
