Satellite P20 - beeps at startup after cleaning the keyboard

Hey!

I have a Satellite P20, which is strange. I have cleaned the keyboard (deleted, took apart and cleaned all the keys) but when I boot up to now (I have connected the keyboard) it will * beep beep * beep beep beep beep * on me (sounds like one of those things in the hospital). If I wait for some time, it ends by starts XP but then some keys (5%) did not respond (S and arrow down to name a few).

I tried to start with the keyboard disconnected and that works like a charm.

Then it is the keyboard that is defective? (I'd rather not buy a new one just to have the same problem) or is it keyboard connector or hurt (I have unplug and connected the keyboard several times)

I am very grateful for any help or advice I can get.

Best regards

/ Martin

It is strange, but maybe the keyboard is defective, as you say.
Or you don t have the keyboard connected to mainboad correctly. Check again.

Maybe a key is always pushed and get the beeps. Select this check box.

    You have disconnected the display while you cleaned up the laptop?
    Are you sure that the display is connected correctly?
    Check the cable?

  • Satellite X 200-251 lights after cleaning the speakers

    Basically, my laptop is suffering from overheating problem because the fan should be cleaned. I decided to give it a go myself and unscrewed all the screws below etc, released the album cd and battery and removed the plastic Panel that covers the speaker who has the power button and other buttons on it.

    So I decided to check the Internet for a guide on how to get to the fan. Ultimately he appeared more complicated then I thought and I dropped but I thought I might as well give the speakers clean up a bit because they were pretty dusty.

    So I'm on a rag and a cotton swab with one end covered with Wd40 and began dusting off a cleaning. Then I put the Panel in place, put all the screws underneath of the laptop and returned battery and plugged the power cable. But... When I pressed the power button would not turn on!

    The small lights that indicate to the laptop is plugged in and the battery is in are turned on, but nothing happens when I try and turn it on. Also I can't get the cd player to stay, it keeps slipping out! I would really apreciate to help here!

    BTW, the model is satellite x 200-251

    Reset the CMOS does solve the problem?

    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    This probably means that your keyboard is dead and need a replacement, which is pretty cheap from ebay.

  • 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 L350-24U: how to clean the keyboard after having poured orange juice

    Hello out there.
    I spilled my L350-24U with Orange juice.
    Now, I have 4 keys to self-retaining :-(

    Can someone tell me how to clean the keyboard without damaging the laptop?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm, it's still a stupid situation
    Usually you can remove the keyboard of the laptop very easily.
    The keyboard is fixed with screws hidden under thin plastic cover near the line of F1 - F12 key.

    If you would remove plastic this cover then you would be able to remove the screws as well. Then you could lift the keyboard carefully and could disconnect the flat cable of the keyboard and the motherboard.

    Notes; two small latches on both sides of the connector must be moved in order to disconnect the cable.

    Then you could remove the keyboard and could clean it with a damp lint.
    PS: the caps can be removed too.
    But be very careful. You must raise the CAP to get it for free.

    There are many videos on youtube...

  • Satellite L500 - 19 - how to properly configure the keyboard?

    I bought a Satellite L500 - 19 c with Windows 7 64 bit and I am having trouble with the keyboard mapping for the correct use of the Portuguese language.

    When I try to highlight a letter, for example by 'one', I get the side ' ~ ~ ' instead of the accent over the letter. I checked all the configurations of Windows and Toshiba SW and everything seems to go well tuned for Portuguese (Portugal).

    Please help me how to fix.

    Normally, you can change the layout of the keyboard so go to control panel > keyboard. Here, you must add the keyboard layout you want and delete all other layouts you want.

    After that, the keyboard should work fine.

  • After showing the keyboard does not work protected void paint (Graphics graphics)

    Hello

    I am facing a big problem. Need your help.

    I've implemented TouchEvent and VerticalFieldManager-> screen paint().

    TouchEvent works well. But the paint method is confusing after the virtual keyboard is displayed.

    My code is as follows:

    public MyScreen extends MainScreen {
    
        private VerticalFieldManager vfm = null;
    
        public MyScreen() {         super(MainScreen.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL);         vfm = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.USE_ALL_HEIGHT | Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH){              protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {                   //paint methods              }         };    }
    
         protected boolean touchEvent(TouchEvent event) {         if(!event.isValid()) {        return false;   }         if(//Check touch conditon) {               //Do something               return true;         } else {               return super.touchEvent(event);         }     }}
    

    You can correct code above?

    This method of paint does not work after showing the keyboard.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply. Guy.

    I found my bug. This problem is related new instance in my code.

    If the keyboard does not at the present time, it seems that the screen height is decreased by the height of the virtual keyboard. It must be calculated in your code.

  • Satellite A30 cannot start after cleaning the heatsink

    I have a problem with my sat a30. It lights for 5 seconds then goes automatically off and on again for 5 times, before finally shutting down completely. all this began after I cleaned the heatsink. can you give me some advice for what to do with this problem?

    Hello

    This path is not easy to say what is the problem, because, who know what did you exactly and how. As you know do something like that on your own is always risky.

    Are there signs of life of the cooling fan? AFAIK the CPU becomes very hot in just seconds after the start, and I presume that CPU is not cooled properly and because of this unit turns off.

  • Satellite A100 beep at startup

    My Satellite A100 still beeps at startup (or when he wakes up after hibernation) as if a key is pressed down, and it will not stop until I press one ' ~ ' key (just below "Esc"). In addition, it begins this character by typing in the field log-in on the start screen.

    Any ideas why this might happen?

    HI Maria,

    It seems to me that if the key is either stuck or is defective. It is possible that the keys are shorted or the rubber under the top key shared so that contacts of does not return to the open"" position.

    I suggest that you only contact authorized Service partner who can check the keyboard.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite P20: Device DVD Player reads only the DVD but cannot burn CD & DVD

    Hello

    I have a toshiba P20, and I'm having a lot of problems with it. One of them is my DVD UJ811. I don't really know what is happening, the drive was already replaced and a few weeks later, it was exactly like the front, and the service provider made me pay almost 70EUR for a budget of 400EUR rejected.

    I would like to know what really should do, I can't read the CD and I can not burn CD/DVDs, I can just read DVDs, nothing else.

    I have seen some forums on the net, too many people in the world has the same problem I have and I really need to know what is the best solution for me.
    Thank you

    Hello Rafael

    I'm very surprised by your post it here because I've used Satellite P20-303 (a red) about two years. Laptop is now used by my brother and it works perfectly. I don't really know what problems you have, but I never noticed anything suspicious. Up to now I removed the cooling Grill on the bottom twice to clean the unit, and that's all. After that laptop computer cleanup runs a lot more quiet then before.

    Back to ad: I have to be honest and say that I traded with TEAC DV - W22E DVD - rom. original drive was DVD - RW and TEAC DV-W22E DVD-RAM. My brother use it pretty extensively, but until now there is no problem at all.

    I don't really know what the service is doing, but if possible replace the drive TEAC one. I can tell you with certainty, it works very well. Moreover, according to the description of your problem, I am sure that the drive is faulty.
    You can replace one. It's very simple to do.

  • Satellite P20 S203: update BIOS after version 1.70

    Hello! I have a Satellite P20 - S203 BIOS is Ver1.70, published on 20/11/2003. I think there pretty outdated now, but there has been no new versions for years and I think that this great computer, despite the old, should be more supported. What I don't understand is why they made an exit for the PSP23E and not for the PSP20E, that make the differences that they should deserve to be updated bios different?

    Does anyone of you know about BIOS versions after 1.70 which allow the laptop to boot from SD cards or removable media? And that the problems of the management of multiple USB devices?
    Thank you

    Hello

    I use P20 over two years, without any update of the BIOS. If your device works well I recommend you to leave. Boot from the SD card is not possible and update the BIOS will not allow this.

    What problem do you have with the USB devices?
