  Sounds like keyboard problem.
  The operating system uses the pilot to clean keyboard and generally it s not necessary to reinstall the special keyboard driver.
  But one thing is really strange; the yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager

  Eventually it s only a problem of software in such a case, a system restore can be useful...

  Have you checked if the keyboard works in the BIOS?
  Do this!

  If the keyboard does not work in the BIOS, then you will need to replace the internal keyboard with the new.

• 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

  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 L20-164 will not launch

  Satellite Pro L20 - 164 running Windows XP. Get the initial window (press F2/F12) then just a white screen.
  Any help welcome.

  Hello

  You mean that you cannot access the BIOS?
  Usually by pressing F2 should lead you to the BIOS settings.
  If this is not possible, then a problem of BIOS/motherboard might be reason for that

  You are able to boot from the CD?
  You can boot from CD by pressing C or F12. By pressing F12 should allow a start on the screen menu. Then you could choose ODD as a boot device.

• Satellite Pro L20 - original drive not grateful

  Hello

  Ive looked for forums and the internet in general but was unable to find anything related to my problem.

  Recently, I removed the my Satellite Pro L20 original hard drive and replaced by a spare part just to test another operating system. I didn't wipe my existing windows of the original OS.

  However, now if I place the original hard drive in the laptop, it does not recognize it in the BIOS at all. The original works of disk of 60Go perfectly in an external USB caddy on the laptop, but used in their own country. At first, thought it might be the drive so I bought a new drive of 250 GB, but again, not recognized.

  Reading, I think that the original drive is an EIDE drive and I don't think that the replacement of 12 GB is drive I put in temporarily. Ive also tried reflashing the BIOS, hoping that might solve the problem, but without any luck again.

  Could you get it someone please let me know how to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  Martin

  Hello

  This s very strange problem you have deleted first disk of 60 GB, then you have reinserted and the BIOS doesn t recognize now 60 GB HARD drive.
  Am I wrong?

  One of my friends had a similar problem. The original internal HDD was not recognized by the BIOS. After a lengthy investigation, he set the BIOS to the default settings and restarted the laptop.

  This helped to recover the HARD drive

• Satellite Pro L20 PSL25E - where can I find the driver WLan?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 - PSL25E 00G019GR and I am trying to install the wireless card.
  Where can I get the software/driver?
  I can't find these (for Windows XP) in the download area.

  The wireless device is turned on, but I don't see the icon in the network environment.
  So, what should I do?

  Thanks for your help.

  Michael

  > The wireless device is turned on, but I don't see the icon in the network environment.
  Are you sure that the laptop is equipped with wireless network card?

  AFAIK the L20 Pro Sam is an older model laptop and L20 not all were equipped with internal WLan module even if the WLan switch is available.

  You should check if the wireless network adapter is listed in the device under network adapters Manager.

• 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

• Satellite Pro C850 keyboard does not work properly and opens several programs

  My satellite pro C850 1HE keyboard intermittently stops working correctly, and begins to open programs, for example, by pressing F will open the file search, C open computer this kind of thing

  is there a permanent solution to this problem?

  This is not something to do with installed programs is not something to do with the browser settings.
  restarting the computer works in a short time, but that is a long time, it's really annoying because I use this for work and study!

  > is there a permanent solution to this problem?

  The question is what causes this problem? Is it related hardware or software related issue?

  Why n t connect a USB keyboard just to check if the same would happen?

  In case the USB keyboard would work fine, I guess that the internal keyboard failures and the solution would be a simple replacement of the defective part.

• Satellite Pro 6100 keyboard does not work properly after repairs

  Hello

  My 6100 Pro Sam just being away from usual mother board and power Board replacement with Toshiba, but now I have a strange keyboard problem.

  When I turn it on, all the keys are working. After a few minutes, '3' is not working, then 'r' fails, then '5', ' 7 ', ' 8',' 9 ', ' 0' to stop working. At this point, I can feel something very hot under the middle of the keyboard. A reboot and no keys work. Another reboot with the internal keyboard and an external keyboard to the PS2 is still defective (some keys work, others do not), but the outer one works properly.

  Now, if the pc has not obtained if hot as the middle of the internal keyboard, then, I would conclude that the keyboard was defective, but for his failure, slowly and sequentially like this and it fails at the same way every day (since Toshiba rebuild it!).

  Perhaps, internal keyboard controller overheating?
  Anyone know what this could be? :-(

  See you soon,.
  Homer

  Right under the keyboard of your pro 6100 is the VGA graphics controller (the keyboard cable plugs on the same map). It is normal that this part become hot during use.

  It is strange that your problem appears after a while and not immediately.

  It could be just a bad relocation of the keyboard cable (it's a thin layer as a movie negative photo) which easily appears there, but... it may be something more serious, too. (Especially since you had done upgrade where the material had to be changed)

  I consult the service centre once more and ask for instructions how to deal with this. Do not ignore it (using an external keyboard instead of internal dysfunction) because he could end up in something more serious soon...

• Satellite A665-S6086 - keyboard does not work after the outpouring of fluid

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A665-S6086 laptop. A couple of months, I spilled the zeroth power and he went on the keyboard. I'm sure that some went through it as well. The computer turns now and I can use an external mouse and external keyboard. Nothing on my keyboard does not work as well as the mouse. I can't go on the internet due to not being able to use the F8 key so.

  The only key/button that works is the power button. The dvd/cd drive works.
  Help, please.

  The external key board I use has no FN key. a f1 to f12, but when I hit the button on the external key board f8 nothing. Please help me get internet light somehow.

  Thank you

  And what kind of help do you expect now? What can we do?
  Why you n t fix it and be happy with the new keyboard?
  How long you want to use your laptop in such a State?

  Contact Toshiba service, let them swap keyboard and clean your laptop. OK it's a bit chilly but you'll well workbook again.

• Satellite L505-119 - keyboard does not work after the spill incident

  Recently had a minor spill on my laptop incident. Quickly, I removed the battery and the power and let it dry for a few days.
  After two days I tried starting but without success. Then I carefully opened the laptop and carefully cleaned and dusted it all the way to the motherboard. Surprisingly, it started working perfectly again, with the exception of the keyboard and I don t know what to do.

  I tried making sure that the band is correctly inserted into the motherboard of countless times and tried to uninstall and reinstall the keyboard drivers, but both were not helping. What I want to know is; If there is anyone of you who have had the same problem, and if there is a way to check if it s my keyboard or motherboard that is broken.

  Thanks in advance

  >... If there is a way to check if it s my keyboard or motherboard that is broken.
  In my opinion, there is only one way to check: replacement keyboard. You should test the functionality with the new keyboard to see if everything is OK.

• Satellite Pro L300-21F does not start and the screen remains blank

  L300-21F is aged 18 months, so out of warranty. When you press the power button, you can hear the fan and a "click" but the hard drive does not start and the screen remains blank. The power and the battery on the headlight LEDs, but the switch light does not work. I checked the power supply and it is 19.3V and substituted a good known. Removed the battery, tried with just the power cord and still nothing. Pressing ESC or F2 when you press the button power does not bring to the top of the screen of the bios or any other message. I have concluded there is no power the jury. A friend he had its technology take a look and he concluded Council is probably a friend.

  So my questions are:
  1. He's probably right?
  2. is it a common problem with an easy solution?
  3. what else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?
  4. is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?

  Any help appreciated

  Hello

  > 1. He's probably right?

  Yes, it looks like motherboard failure

  > 2. Is this a common problem with an easy solution?

  If it's a motherboard problem, the whole motherboard is replaced. Quite expensive part...

  > 3. What else can do before shelling out for a new Board of Directors?

  I don't think you can do anything with fried mobo

  > 4. Is there a link where I can find how to disassemble the case?

  Take a look at the site called irisvista.com

• Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E-03Y010EN) no access to the BIOS

  Hi all

  I upgraded my OS from XP - Pro to Win7 Ultimate 2010 March, no problem everything works OK. Now that I need more space, I want to upgrade the hard disk of 40 GB to 320 GB.

  I can not access the bios to change the boot system (boot from DVD, for example), I can access the initial screen of the 4 menu at the start of the laptop but any icon highlight (disks, CD/DVD/etc), the laptop starts just Win7. I tried to use F12, DELETE, F2, etc.; all of them get the Select where I want to go, but as I said earlier, when I select one, the laptop starts just in Win7 from the hard drive.

  My manual tells me to use the Toshiba HWSETUP to access the boot system, but its does not work on Win7 (90% CD-ROM of the tools do not work on/with Win7).

  I downloaded the new drivers Win7 for Bios and other different pieces, some have installed and others have not. More (including the BIOS updated) claim that I am running a not recognized OS so used to install! How the Win7 is an unrecognized OS?

  So my questions are;
  1. How can I access the BIOS to set the boot system to boot from the CD/DVD then the local disk?
  2. is there a fix for this problem? (Looking through the forum, this is not a rare.)
  3. can I never boot/BIOS systems working properly?

  See you soon
  Dave

  Hello

  > 1. How to access the BIOS to set the boot system to boot from the CD/DVD then the local drive?

  Usually, you can access Bios by pressing f2/f12 at startup, but you've already tried... Try the following:

  * Key esc (BIOS Toshiba) method *.
  Press and hold the ESCAPE key.
  Turn on the laptop.
  Press the F1 key when prompted.
  The first page of the BIOS Setup screen appears.
  If you have a utility called Toshiba hardware configuration (site in a windows environment) where you can choose the cd/DVD-ROM boot priority boot option

• Satellite Pro A300-28V - my bluescreens disappeared when the BIOS has been upgraded

  I'm curious to know about it. The machine is a Satellite Pro A300-28V with Vista32/Win7.
  Had problems with bluescreen dumps referring to 'iaStor.sys '. I was about to send the laptop in for repair when I made this last effort to resolve the problem. Upgrade 1.9 to 2 BIOS, 1 - Win.

  All of a sudden my system image succeeded! Even at an Iomega home network HDD. Without complex!
  No blue screen exports even at startup 'cold' (after a free night)!

  For now, I leave the computer in sleep mode while I am at work. Let's see if he managed a day without landfills.

  What is the technical difference between 1.9 and 2.1 BIOS? No idea if it's something with iaStor.sys to do?

  Hi mate

  This is really good news as your BSOD displeasured after the BIOS update.
  The BIOS give instructions to the test power - on self test (POST) and provide basic information on how to manage components of the laptop, as HDD, ODD memory, that are required to load the operating system.

  Who knows, what was changed in the update but the main thing is that all the work and the update solve your BSOD

  > No idea if she has something with iaStor.sys to do?
  iaStor.sys is part of the SATA driver who is required to recognize the HARD drive using AHCI mode.
