Satellite Pro C660 - keyboard problems

This issue is one for computer laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-1UX running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1.

Some of the keys on Board (E, T, U, I, O, A, B, N, and the Enter key) fail to register.
All keys tested so far seem to register normally.

When you connect an external USB keyboard, all the keys work properly. When you use the integrated keyboard or external USB keyboard, however, pressed some key is selected for about 2-3 seconds so that his character register. This makes typing incredibly slow and is naturally unacceptable.

I checked the Manager of devices looking for errors, but can't find one. The keyboard driver is classified properly installed and functional, and driver update indicates that the latest version is in already in service.

I've also scanned for viruses using Spybot and Malware bytes and also with laptops own antivirus software pre-installed. All the analyses of the entire system refer a none found the message of threat.

I read that the keyboards on these machines can sometimes be problematic, which could respond only to edge, some function keys. The fact that all the external USB keyboard keys work seems to confirm this. However, the fact that the keyboard both onboard and external is affected by the same slow pressure might also suggest a bios problem - but that this laptop computer is several years old and working perfectly, why bios suddenly would cause this problem.

I visited the Toshiba site and based on this laptop with the part number: PSC0ME-02100SEN, I have concluded (rightly or wrongly) that the correct bios download version is 1, 70 - WIN, only when I read the following installation instructions http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm bios
I became quite concerned, like installing the bios update seems far from simple.

Does anyone know if it is possible to download and install the bios right through an update automated versus manual download and installation step by step, which, if not carried out as planned, could make the laptop completely unusable.

Has anyone reading this post experienced similar problems with this make and model laptop and was able to return successfully to the good operating condition. If so, how?

All constructive advice would be welcome.

> When you connect an external USB keyboard, all keys work correctly.

This means that the keyboard controller is OK and the internal keyboard is defective.
To resolve this problem of keyboard, internal keyboard needs to be replaced.

> However, the fact that the keyboard on board as external is affected by the same keypress slow could also suggest a bios problem - but this laptop computer is several years old and works perfectly, why bios suddenly would cause this problem.

Hmm I n t think so
The keyboard delay can be bound to parameters.
You can check this in the control panel-> keyboard

    Hello

    I think the drawing application needs the graphics driver that supports OpenGL.
    To my knowledge, the driver of the Intel page should already contain the OpenGL.
    The Satellite supports graphics Intel HD (Intel HM55) so I think that you should use the driver from the Intel page, even if the update utility indicates that you are using the latest driver.

    I think that you need to uninstall the old driver through the Device Manager.
    In addition, check whether it should be uninstalled in the control panel-> software.

    Then download the latest driver for the Intel HM55 chipset, and install it via the Device Manager.
    You do this by using the Advanced installation procedure that will force windows to select the driver from the driver's record, that you have downloaded from the Intel page.

  • Satellite Pro C50 keyboard problems - A - 1 L 6

    Hello

    I just bought this new Satellite Pro.

    I have installed all the drivers and updated the bios to the latest version, but I still have the same problem: when I write, many times my keyboard writes double letters (for example, all ten words written keyboard a letter double, as "keybboard").

    I tried also to change the properties of the keypad on the control panel of Windows 8, but nothing has changed.

    I called support, but they just told me that I have to bring my laptop in a helpdesk: but I need my new computer to work, and I wouldn't be happy to lose at least 4 weeks!

    And, support told me that, if the laptop has no hardware problem, I would have to pay for assistance...
    .
    So, this is my first experience and unlucy in the world of Toshiba...
    Is there someone who can give me some advice to solve this problem?
    It may be a problem running on the new laptops, and someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you very much!

    Hi guys,.

    As far as I know that these similar keyboard problems in the past could be resolved by the BIOS updated.
    I found the new BIOS for Satellite Pro C50 - A
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20140912105436.zip
    Worth a try

    Another question: If someone has done to test a USB external keyboard?
    In the case where the external USB keyboard would work correctly, this issue isn't associated with BIOS or keyboard controller but probably his keyboard fault internal.

  • Satellite Pro L20 keyboard problems not fixed by the update of the BIOS

    Thank you

    Hi Olbur

    I didn't find any official document on this subject, as you say, known issue. Can you please send a link?

    I have the Satellite L20 and there is not much difference for Satellite Pro L20 and I have no such problems, but I'm interesting about this. The L20 keyboard is not the best one, but all the characters are not displayed correctly. Maybe you type fast. ;)

  • Re: Satellite Pro L300 - keyboard problem

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300.
    The original keyboard started acting fuynny after, in my opinion, it was abandoned.
    He began to record two characters on 1 button on a few letters and the '1' key was also acting as the tab key.

    I decided to change the keyboard for a brand new, but nothing helps...
    I'm a bit stuck now to know where to start troubleshooting.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you
    Dave

    > The original keyboard started acting funny after that, in my view, it was abandoned.
    If the laptop has been abandoned or not?
    I think it's very important to know if the laptop has been abandoned or not because the other pieces of equipment that are likely to be affected.
    I mean it would be possible that this keyboard or motherboard controller is affected due to the fall of the laptop.

    I put t think that someone here might be able to help you if the laptop was dropped, then you should ask a technician for a verification of the material may be there is a party who is affected and must be replaced, but material must be checked to know

  • Driver monitor with XP on Satellite Pro C660-2CN problem

    I get 2 monitors Plug-and-Play - 1 ok, the other cannot start (Code 10)

    The laptop is also not go into sleep mode.
    The display turns off standby mode, but the laptop can be used.
    I also have an error ACPI event ID: 43 - the system sleep operation failed.

    Unfortunately no driver XP for this laptop.

    I think that this could be related to incorrect Graphics Driver installed.
    Device for my integrated graphics card ID is:
    PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_0116 & SUBSYS_FC901179 & REV_09

    I am currently using Intel HD Graphics 6.14.10.5384 - the pilot didn't say not that there problems in Device Manager.

    Device ID for my Plug-and-Play monitor that will not start:
    Monitor\LGD02DC

    Has anyone installed XP on this laptop and if so what graphics drivers they use.

    Hello

    PCI VEN ID and DEV ID may be useful in order to perform a search on this page:
    http://www.PCIDatabase.com/

    The laptop seems to be equipped with Intel HD graphics chip 3000.
    If the drivers must be compatible. You must also install the Mobile Intel HM65 Express Chipset for Win XP driver since this chipset is part of the motherboard.

    But its interesting that you said that an external monitor work correctly and the other doesn t you try to use two external monitors at the same time?

  • Keyboard stopped working on my Satellite Pro C660 2JD

    Hello world

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-2JD.

    The keyboard has stopped working, it only works when the keyboard screen is selected as soon as I close the screen keyboard that it stops working. I plugged another keyboard that doesn't work or only works of the mouse and the keyboard on the laptop works ok. I used the Ubuntu live CD, and the keyboard works with it, but not in windows.

    I have restored the laptop to factory settings and also make a clean installation still does not work only when the screen on the keyboard keyboard works. Does anyone have any ideas of what is the problem? It seems that something prevents the loading keyboard driver.

    Start your laptop and enter the BIOS settings. Keyboard works in BIOS mode?
    Have you tested using \Windows in "safe mode" (F8)?
    Please test and send feedback.

  • "SHIFT" on the Satellite Pro C660 key does not work

    G ' Day,.

    I have a little problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro C660.
    Unfortunately I had to remove the keyboard and thus dislodged the
    fragile plug to connect to the computer.

    The 'Shift' key refused to work since. All other keys work as usual.
    The only problem is the 'Shift' button does not.
    I tried to gently move the plug but made no difference so now have to
    Use a USB keyboard.

    Can you please help with suggestions for this problem?
    Thank you for your time.

    See you soon,.
    Sunrap.

    I really put t know what you think when you know that there is no connection for each unique key, but for the entire keyboard.

    To be honest I ve changed keyboard several times but never noticed this problem.
    Are the two SHIFT keys off function?

  • Satellite Pro C660 graphic needs driver upgrade for Adobe Lightroom 6

    I tested 5 Lightroom on my Satellite Pro C660 and it worked fine.

    I decided to do it, and that week Lightroom 6 came out, so I bought Lightroom 6.

    LR6 gets to the start screen, then stops and closes the Windows7.
    I contacted Adobe and they went on my machine and identified the problem as being the graphics card and says I need an update of the driver.

    I've been on the Toshiba site and it says that the latest driver is 8.15.10.2189, which is the one I currently have (and was changed in 2012).

    I've been on the Intel site and their obtrusive says that the machine has a pilot custom then contact Toshiba.
    I looked around the Intel site and tried to install that seem to be plausible drivers, but have not found one that would install.

    My installation includes a monitor LG 22 "connected to the laptop with the spread of the desktop on both screens (laptop and monitor).

    No one knows what would be the upgrade of the driver I need or how can I know?

    James

    The page Intel graphics driver can be used, and you can also download the driver directly from the page.

    This CPU does support your laptop?
    What Intel GPU (Intel HD graphics chipset *) is the support of laptop?

    The Intel download page provides a driver Intel as an exe or zip package
    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/

    You need to download and unpack the zip package.
    You will then be able to update the driver in Device Manager, choose the Advanced installation update procedure.

  • Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

    Hello

    My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
    I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

    The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
    SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
    He said that there is a missing driver.

    I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

    I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

    What can I do?

    Thanks for the help.
    Best regards
    Bruno Moreira

    More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
    In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
    As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

    However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

    But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
    Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
    Give it a try.

  • Satellite Pro C660-1LR - new HARD drive but no recovery disk

    I need help for my son who is the Satellite Pro C660 1LR laptop.

    In this portable hard drive is completely dead, I have not created a disk of recovery for this system of portable computers.
    I bought a new hard drive that is installed... However, as you guessed it I have no access to reinstall an OS, this laptop works on windows 7.

    I'm not really tech savvy so if someone can advise me please do explain to the fool proof format! I try to avoid having to buy something expensive.

    > I'm trying to avoid having to buy something expensive.
    Problem is that you don't have many options in this regard.
    If you want to have the factory again settings you must install recovery disc. You can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx of course is not free, but, in my opinion, without a doubt the best solution.

    You can buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version. You must purchase a valid license for it.
    In this case, you must install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for more than one by one.

    Just in case you can get this installation of Microsoft and the free license you can save money.

    Believe me, the best solution is the original recovery disk command.

  • Satellite Pro C660 - BSOD for WLANs by FN + F8

    Hello!

    (Sorry for my bad English, but this is not my first language)

    I have a problem with my (Windows 7-64 bit) Satellite pro c660.

    When I want to activate or DΘsactiver wifi (fn + F8).
    I see the wifi turns on, but after 2 seconds, I got a BSOD...

    So I'm looking for drivers for my card (Realtek RTL8188CE) network and it does not work...
    I search a lot and I found this forum. I find a lot of problem of "my fn +; '. does not work"and respond you"try to install VAP. I have download this PPV to my computer and right after having extracted the files, I have this message: "Please restart your computer."
    I reboot and it still does not work... So I try to uninstall PPVS but I can't found on the Panel.

    (I now see the fn + F9 (of / activate the touchpad) does not work.)

    I have TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility version 1.62.0.28C.

    Hello

    Your message is very confusing
    First of all, I don t think that missing WLan driver would cause a BSOD.

    From my point of view you have a lot of problems with the system I m not quite sure if the resettlement of VAP would solve all your problems and I doubt that this would be solce your BSOD problem.

    So I advise to use the recovery disk to put the laptop back to factory settings. If the BSOD would still appear after that the laptop was recovered, then I guess as a hardware problem (probably faulty module WLan) causing this BSOD

  • Re: Magenta/Purple mount screen Satellite Pro C660-2JR

    Hello

    I just brought a new laptop Satellite Pro C660-2JR and a few hours after getting it I noticed he has a purple cast/tint on any gray tones and is especially noticeable if a B & W image is seen because it has tones of purple, white and black with grey wire no real!

    Its very visible on the default settings (which are mostly dressed and contrasting even after I turned the backlight down) and I adjusted the brightness, contrast and gamma via graphics driver as by test cards, but despite that I get this darn will not disappear.

    Is the only way to sort of get rid of him for the contrast of the Green layer but affecting the other colors as well so it's not really solve the problem and the cast usually ends either be clear or green purple with no real neutral gray.

    This distribution is visible in all lighting and all the corners of the screen.

    I send it back for a replacement or open a repair warranty on the laptop, is there anything anyone can suggest I do?

    It is not easy to discuss this issue. We will see what it looks like.

    In my opinion, you should contact your local dealer, compare it with other laptops of the same series and ask for replacement.
