Satellite P20: No quotes on ODD echoes not numbered key depressions

Recently, I installed Vista on my P20 specifying a US International keyboard. (It's actually US plan second Arabic - bought in Saudi Arabia.)

The Vista installation was finally successful, but I'm left with a boring tantrum: when I push the quote / double quote key (the key immediately to the left of the Enter key) there is no echo on the screen.

If I press the key a second time both the first and the second quotes echo. A third depression is no echo, but the fourth echoes on the third and fourth and so forth.

A backspace removes the quotation marks, one at a time.

In a UK keyboard format, there is no problem, but then a lot of special characters are in a different place.

Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this problem? I suspect that this is not really directly related to Vista, but I post here as it is during the installation of Vista that this problem occurred.

Hello

In my opinion, this isn't a problem, but simply a problem of keyboard layout!
My UK keyboard supports three types of signs of the apostrophe.
Signs of single quotation mark appears if I press the button to the left of the ENTRANCE or the left of the SPACE button or the button to left of space + ALT

I remember that the buttons are placed on different positions on different keyboards.
If I change the language of the German keyboard the apostrophe sign which has been detected by the left button of the SPACE can now be detected with the + (plus) key.
If I press once, nothing appears, but if I press the second time the quote simple sign '' appears twice.

Believe me. It s a matter of adjustment.

I would recommend setting the language of the keyboard to UK!

  • My Satellite P20 is not on the current

    Hello!

    Well, I had another problem of management power to you guys.

    So far I have deal with overheating and abrupt shut down of the computer that was tied to it and clean the heat sinks fixed - it is ok now.

    On the other hand - management/battery charge always bothers me now and then... .and now, it is "then" to my penalty.

    It seems obvious that Toshiba knows about this problem and so I would really like to get answers to 'them '!

    I just lost a job due to the fact that my computer has stopped in charge, empty the battery, then press stop without a warning when the battery was empty (without a sound warning and I on 25%)

    I removed the battery and tried to start the computer, but it will not activate... .so I have to plug in/plug out the power cord several times until I get a charge light... .and then it powers up*@*!

    The strange thing is that, for the 3 last months or if she was very well (before that I had more or less the same problem), but after moving from my laptop in the House, it did it again!

    Any Toshiba brain read this?... causes I know I'm not the only one - common and show our free s and tell us why this is happening, please!

    It is not used much for a powerless computer, you know!

    Hi Ingi

    Sorry, but I don t agree with you. I use Satellite P20-303 almost three years and it works like the first day. Expanded memory up and cleaned the vents for a short period. It runs very quiet and pleasant. I love this device.

    Because of this, you can't write about a common problem on this unit. It is always possible that some users have a similar problem but that don t mean any notebook series has a serious breach.

    Second thing is that this forum is just the forum users and if you want the response from their partner service contact in your country, explaining the situation and I hope that they should be able to help you. I'm not a technician but I think there is a problem of electronic power and because of that, you have different questions (battery does not charge properly).

    I recommend you to speak with the authorized service partner. Call them and ask what can be the problem.

    Good bye

  • Satellite P20-404: WLAN is not working

    I wanted to use the adapter wireless network for the first time after a defekt disc and a reinstall. It worked before, but I did not reinstall WLAN right here. Now I don't know how to install it. There is no entry in the network connections that could be my wireless network adapter.

    There should be a built-in Atheros adapter.
    I activated the WLAN-> no light beside the symbol WLAN;
    I FnF8 Switched-> nothing happens, I don't see any unknown hardware in the hardware list.

    Are there opportunities that I don't have a hardware problem?

    Hello

    Are you sure that the WLan worked, before your changed the HARD drive and installed the operating system again?
    I found information that the WLan is optional on Satellite P20-404.
    So I think that some units have been delivered with the wireless network card and others did not.

    It of very strange that the WLan card is not recognized in Device Manager. Usually, if the WLan driver is not installed on the operating system for the wireless network card must be shown as an unknown device.

    I think in your case it s something wrong with the wireless network card or WLan card is not installed.

  • Satellite P20 S203 does not recognize my additional 1 GB memory

    Hi all

    My computer (Satellite P20 S203) does not recognize my second Bank of memory (1 GB). I have two banks of memory of 1 GB installed. BIOS reports only 1 GB, Windows reports that 1 GB and my Linux so he says only 1 GB of memory. I removed each Bank of memory and restarted the computer successfully in each of the two slots, No Problem, but when the two banks of memory are inserted, it always uses only 1 GB. My BIOS is on version 2.10:

    BIOS is the PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0

    I know it's an old computer (about 10 years), but what could cause such a problem?

    Thanks a lot for any advice or suggestions!

    Kind regards

    Hi fuegi_1,

    The upgrade modules, bought exactly?

    To me it sounds like that it s a compatibility problem or your computer laptop doesn't support 2 GB.

    If you use two memory modules, you must only use two modules of the same production.

    Hey colourglo,

    To be honest I n don't know what you mean and your description is very short and not intelligible. I think you expect help here from several users, you need to write a description of the exact error of what is happening and not one single sentence.

    You can start in safe mode?
    You get an error message or BSOD?

    If the Windows startup doesn t and doesn t safe mode work too you have to reinstall Windows. All that s.

  • Satellite P20 does not start - BIOS are not displayed

    I have a Satellite P20 and recently it does not start. When I press the power button that disk HARD will light up and it will check the cd-rom drive, but the screen is blank and will not display the bios screen. I can only turn it off by pressing the power button.

    Is it likely to be a hardware problem? I'll try to remove the RTC battery if possible to see if this resets the bios.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Maybe you have a problem with your battery from the Machine.
    Please make a new start without the battery.

  • Satellite P20-604 - how do I know if it has a wireless card or not?

    I have a P20-604, which I think was not preinstalled with a wireless card. Just to make sure that my details are:

    Model No.: PSP20E-0Du43-G3
    Serial No.: 14735613G

    If she does not have a wireless card, how do I determine what parts to buy so I can set up a wireless connection?

    Thank you.
    Seem

    Hello

    As far as I know that the wireless card is optional on this unit. This means you have the opportunity to upgrade the unit with the wireless Mini-PCI card. At the bottom of the unit, you will find a machine slot for this card.

    Please visit this site to check what wireless card is compatible with your device:

  • Satellite P20-102 - receiver remote not working do not after running recovery CD

    Hello

    I am running Windows Media Center Edition and on my laptop Satellite P20-102.

    I recently needed to run the recovery CD, the process went well except that my box of external remote control receiver provided with my laptop no longer works.

    The box works with XP Media Center Edition and the remote control before I ran the recovery CD. The receiver is detected and installed on the computer when it is connected and recognized in device like a USB Serial Converter Manager. The inner light flashes about 4 seconds. When you press a button on the remote control light both in the housing of the remote control receiver if it receives the signal.

    I guess it's a software problem, I can't find any information on the installation of the receiver or all the drivers for it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Hi Paul

    I also P20 but unfortunately without MCE. I can't give you any help, but in my opinion, you should try to contact Toshiba hotline in your country. Maybe it's possible that one phone call can help you manage this matter in the right direction.

  • Satellite P20-304 stops unexpectedly

    I have a laptop satellite P20 304 coming sometimes turns off without warning.
    The screen goes black and the power is off.

    This sometimes happens during a search, but alos is writing a letter. If not necessary a high workload for the laptop.

    Opening vents are free etc. I guess maybe an overheating problem, but wonder if this causes this kind of stop procedere.
    Also - there no poping blue screen or report failure upwards by re-start such as "the system will be re-stored after a major system crash ect.

    No idea what it could be.

    I installed Sandra Sisoft to monitor the temperature, but it only shows me no module to control the temperature,
    respectively, that it does not work.

    My warranty runs out in June, so I want to make sure that I can claim any defect prior to that.

    Thnaks for any input,

    Hello

    It's not very easy to say why this laptop stops. It could be an overheating problem or a malfunction of the software. But I tend to overheat.
    Well, the problem of overheating occurs due to her malfunctioning fans or malfunction of the equipment.
    I assume that your warranty is valid, so I recommend you to check your laptop in service partner. Maybe, it can give you a good answer, why this problem occurs.

  • 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?
