Satellite M50 157 keyboard won't answer once o/s (XP SP2) begins

The keystrokes will just sound "beep" and nothing else. Any other fine (mouse, etc.).

Yet, if I break during the boot sequence (via F2) I can navigate through the menus of the BIOS by using the keys on the keyboard.

I do not have an external USB keyboard lying around, so I can't try it. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the keyboard driver (and indeed the sound card driver, in the case there some strange conflict between these).

Best Regs,

It looks like a keyboard problem. In most cases, the keyboard needs to be replaced

One question; have you tried to reinstall the OS using the recovery CD?
Maybe you should try it to ensure that it is not a software problem.

  • Satellite M50-228 - keyboard no longer works

    Hello

    I have a problem with my M50-228. When I type very fast, the keyboard stops working for 20-30 seconds. If I type slowly, there is no problem. I can reproduce this, hitting several very quick keys... then it stops to work for this time.

    Did someone knows if it is a hardware problem? The laptop is very recent.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    I can imagine that the HARD drive is occupied by other applications. Have you noticed that since the first day?

  • Satellite M50 - bad signs using the keyboard

    Help, please

    I have a purchased Satellite M50 year last by a parent in Australia working for Toshiba.
    Day 1 the key functions have been unpredictable, but I've learned to live with the problem.
    For example hitting @ (case 2) product key "and vice versa (upper case") produces @"
    Pressing Shift and 3 product £

    # is a product of the slash key reverse. Press the backslash key and product update ~
    Now, I have discovered that no combination of keys produces a backslash and this presented a problem with some software mods, that I wanted to achieve.

    Here is the keyboard language settings simply false.
    I guess your laptop keyboard settings are set to English of the United States or the United Kingdom, you will have to change.

    Go to control panel-> regional & -> language tab, the language-> details-> settings tab options

    Here you can change the language of the keyboard in English (Australia, New Zealand, etc...)

    Could recommend check several languages until the right singing will appear.

    Best regards and happy new year

  • 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?

  • System recovery satellite M50 after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    The drive of my laptop Satellite M50 becomes rather clicky and looks like it's on its way. Replacing, it will not present any problems, but I will replace it with a drive of at least double the capacity of origin.

    At one point, I had installed a Linux system and when I tried to reinstall my Windows system on a partition that is smaller than the entire recovery cd disk threw a wobbly and refused to proceed as it did not recognize the hardware profile of my portable computer, that the drive was too small.

    I expect the same thing to be true once I upgraded the HARD drive.

    How can I avoid this problem?

    Thanks in advance

    PK

    I would like to clone the old drive if it is an option.

  • On Satellite A505-S6973 keyboard problems

    Goodday once again everyone,

    Can someone tell me if the built-in on my Satellite A505-S6973 keyboard has a backlight.
    I watch a lot of these new laptops and similar to mine, under the keyboard it is white and I don't know if that's how it's supposed to light. If so, can someone tell me.

    On the Toshiba U.S. support page I checked the specification for laptop computer and, of course, your laptop doesn t have this backlit keyboard.
    Just FYI: all illuminated keyboard have FN + Z option to turn on/off illumination.
    With other words symbol small keyboard will be on the Z key.

    This option, when the backlit keyboard is in the book is also available in Toshiba HWSetup tool.

  • Satellite M50 suddenly does not work

    I wonder if anyone can help?
    My Satellite M50 seems to have a number of very important issues:

    On booting, I hear a note very acute and rather than go automatically in Windows XP, I gives me a choice of F2 (Set Up) or F12 (Menu I think it is called). If I hit the button enter the noise goes and go into Windows XP as usual.

    However, I can't sound on the Satellite, either from a CD or a DVD inserted or a live video or
    audio clip. I checked the control panel and audio is not muted.

    Also, my 'e' character on the laptop does not register (press and no character comes on screen - I have to fix a new keyboard to the laptop to use the letter "e") BUT in Excel or when I put in a URL, I often get a complete line after the rank of the character "e" (without warning) that stops if I press the button "Esc".

    I don't know if I was infected by a virus (I have Avira AntiVir Personal) & Malaware programs on the laptop, but I would be grateful for any help on this problem.

    See you soon!

    Bryan

    Hello

    I think it s a keyboard problem.
    The sound that appears at the beginning of the startup procedure means that a hardware failure has been detected.
    In my opinion it s related to the keyboard, since you have no keyboard under Windows OS functionality.
    So I would get in touch with ASP in your country and to order a new keyboard for the replacement.

    Regarding the sound issue.
    I don't know what that might be, but actually the first step should be an update of the driver or a new installation.
    Check if there is no yellow/reclamation brand that reffers to the sound card!

    See you soon

  • 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.

  • How can satellite M50 - what is on the disk recovery - I run

    Hi, people, I have a Satellite M50 and a recovery disk, which is on the recovery disk? Y at - it windows Xp on it? Y at - it all the tools and utilities on it?, can I use it to reformat? How can I run?

    Thanks if you can answer

    On the Toshiba Recovery CD, you will find a picture of Toshiba!
    The image contains a Windows operating system, Toshiba drivers, tools, utilities, and additional programs like WinDVD, for example.
    Using the Toshiba Recovery CD is the easiest way to install the OS on the laptop and set the notebook to factory settings

    As said above the recovery CD will format the whole HARD drive. It would also be possible to erase the partitions! So be careful!

    If you want to install the operating system or run the recovery CD, you put it in the drive and the start of the player. The pressing the C button allows you to start from the CD/DVD drive

  • Satellite M50 bridge-126 slot not available, why?

    A few months ago in the brochure of the satellite m50 - 126 it was specified that he was available a slot multibridge for sd cards memory sticks etc etc. I bought recently athat model a week ago and the multibridge slot is not available on my laptop. Why?

    Hello Alessio

    I understand you, but I checked your information and I find that Bridge Media Slot is optional and unfortunately you bought the device without it.

    You won't believe me, but sometimes it is according to the country where the laptop will be offered.

    Good bye
