• Satellite A300 - replacement for the keyboard button problem

  Satellite A300 broken my number key 3.
  Easy to fix but still Toshiba have charged me £43 to replace it with a new full keyboard.
  It is less than 6 months old and still under warranty.

  What an absolute joke, I wouldn't have another toshiba again.

  > What an absolute joke, I wouldn't have another Toshiba again.
  Well, it is your personal opinion but I agree.

  However, if you understand something about laptops so you'd know that the single button can not be replaced.
  Only the CAP can be replaced but not the button on the keyboard, and thus the entire keyboard needs to be replaced!

  In addition, the guarantee only covers hardware problems that are not caused by laptop user I n don't know why the button on your keyboard is broken (maybe you was your fault) but I think that you have contacted the ASP in your country and talked to the technician then why you didn't explain that it wasn't your fault?

  In any case, the case should be clear now

• Satellite R830 - SPACEBAR keyboard problem

  I have a Satellite R830.

  If I push space key on the right side, it looks like, that space touches a metal when it is pushed down.

  If I push the space in the middle or on the left side, it works normal as the other keys.
  --> lack of space?

  So I recommend you to get in touch with an ASP and ask for more details.

• Questions from the screen and keyboard on Satellite R830-181

  Hello

  I had exactly the same problem with it;
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=280934

  I also explained what is it and how it over time in this topic.

  To sum up; my screen and keyboard do not work in my Toshiba Satellite R830-181, 13.3 '' laptop.

  My questions;
  1. is it a motherboard problem?

  2. as it runs on an external monitor, I guess that the graphics card or processor is fine.
  There is no damage on the screen, so I guess there is a problem with the connection of the power supply to the screen.

  If I buy a new screen I have my doubts it will work.

  I'll probably send it to the service tech in my country (hard to find here reliable technology services Toshiba), however, I would like to know what may be the cause and if I can fix it myself.

  What do you think guys? It is a power issue or a problem with the monitor itself?
  If a power issue or something else rather than the screen, how can be fixed?
  Same question applies to the keyboard.

  3. If I repair or fix myself, you think it will happen again? Because I think that this could be a faulty laptop computer of a certain series of production since someone else has experienced the same thing with this model.

  can 4 - there be a relationship between the non-functional keyboard and screen?

  5. If this can be resolved with a replacement of the screen, that I need to find a laptop screen Toshiba R830 or I can buy any 13.3-inch screen?

  As far as I know this model is not supported by the company more, so it is quite difficult to find a screen R830.
  It is difficult to find a 13.3-inch screen, anyway, but still, if I can use the screen of another model which would ease my problems.

  I need an idea on that.
  Thanks :)

  > 1 - is it a motherboard problem?
  Not easy to say: If the external monitor works correctly then this isn't problem chart/motherboard.
  The external USB keyboard works properly, if not motherboard problem too.

  > 2 - because it works on a monitor external I guess graphics card or processor is fine.
  Yes, that's correct.

  > If I buy a new screen I have my doubts it will work.
  I do not recommend to buy the new parts before the defective parts has not been verified.

  > I'll probably send it to the service tech in my country (hard to find here reliable technology services Toshiba), however, I would like to know what may be the cause and if I can fix it myself.
  Good idea to send it to Toshiba service partner since the guys would be able to control parts and fix it.

  Don t think someone can tell exactly what's causing this according to me its just a bad luck material can start malfunction happens in every possible branch of industries (TV, computer, smartphone, cars)

  can > 4 - there be a relationship between the non-functional keyboard and screen?
  No, the keyboard is only connected to the motherboard, display is also connected to the motherboard, but there is no connection between the keyboard and the display.

• Satellite R830 screen problem - dead pixel

  Hello

  I have a Satellite R830, I haven't used the laptop a lot since the purchase 2 years ago but I have several white spots on the monitor (8 + areas). I suspect that these may be hot spots of pixel, but I've tried all kinds of software and even slight pressure repair but nothing seems to work.

  Someone at - it Advisor on methods to try to resolve this problem or am I resolved to try to get this repaired?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can not fix it
  In this case the display must be replaced.
  But I guess that the guarantee is no longer valid, so you pay for the replacement.
  I think that it is not worth.

  I also found information on the technology screen and tolerance fault pixel of the LCD poster

• How to replace the keyboard on the Satellite R830?

  I need to replace the keyboard on my Satellite R830 as the space bar is not registered a press unless you press the middle of the bar.

  New keyboards are available on ebay, but can someone please provide instructions on how it is possible to replace the keyboard. A web search has been fruitless so far.

  Thanks in advance,
  Haydn.

  Hello

  Your warranty is valid?
  In this case contact the ASP in your country to replace the kneeboard, since this would be covered by the guarantee and he would be free of charge.

  As far as I know the keyboard replacement procedure is the same as for Portege R700 series
  It s difficult because you will need to remove the other parts like the
  Battery, sim card, express card slot, modules of memory, base Assembly to gain access to a
  Ribbon of aluminum on the back of the lid Assembly. Then you could cut the lid Assembly face to the top and peel the keyboard joined the insulator.
  And also you can not use the keyboard removed and isolator keyboard again. You will need to use new parts.

• Problems with online information product Toshiba Satellite R830

  Hello! I just bought a Toshiba Satellite R830-146 with the following general specifications:

  OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
  CPU: Intel i5 - 24010M
  RAM: 4 GB DDR II
  HARD DRIVE 640 GB

  I had install/configure these days.

  In addition to the original, Aministrator account, I first worked with what turn on the machine and the installation/configuration of starting the process, I had to create another account to user with administrator privileges. The reason? Because the settings of Internet Explorer 9 in the original Admin account were somehow gone corrupt: some web pages that I absolutely have to work with because of professional reasons cannot be properly charged more, and these web pages are only compatible with Internet Explorer, not any other browser, Mozilla or anything like that. After several hoyrs work trying to solve this issue, I couldn't find a way to solve it.

  So I created a second administrator. User account (with the intention to delete the original Admin account if it worked OK); and in the admin again. account 9 IE works fine in any web page but I this is my problem with the Toshiba application online product Info begins.

  Namely: Toshiba OPI app doesn't work at all in the admin again. user account, even if it worked perfectly in the original account of amin - and it still doesn't work (I haven't dared delete the admin account of origin). When it is running in the new account admin, Toshiba OPI shows only an error message. I tried with UN-install the utility, then put it back in the admin again. account - no result, problem still there and Toshiba OPI still works fine in the oldest account where the IE 9 settings are corrupt, but false in the new, where everything works fine.

  So, why don't I just uninstall Toshiba OPI, delete the older admin account and forget all about?, you ask. Well, because among all the specific software Toshiba provided with my machine, this seems to be the one and only piece of software that maintains a current alert on, locates, downloads and installs the necessary drivers, BIOS updates and other. Software specific to the computer of the machine it does basically what Windows Update performs the operating sistem. Like many other users, I usually end up uninstalling the pre-installed software, specific LABELTEX, most of the machines that I buy, because it most of it isn't useful. But I still like to preserve the piece of software specific LABELTEX update which is updated regular with LABELTEX criticism or specific patches to the computer/model instead of having to regularly visit Toshiba support & updates page to see if it is something urgent. And this piece of software in question seems to be Toshiba OPI utility, in this case.

  So I wonder if anyone has a diagnosis of why this does not work in all the admin. accounts (and no, the problem isn't that I do run the program with two admin accounts connected and active I already checked that), and how could I solve apart from uninstalling the Toshiba OPI and oblivion, that would be very easy , but I would not do.

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  In the last years I ve changed 3 portable Toshiba and the first thing I did was to remove the OPI and several other specific applications of Toshiba. Why? All of them start with Windows, slow start-up of the laptop, run in the background for nothing.

  My experience Toshiba doesn't offer new things every day, so in general you can use OPI every two months to check whether or not something is offered again. You can do this when you start your laptop with the original admin account.

  You know, that these questions are not easy to explain. Toshiba has tested pre-installed software and functionality with the original account. Who knows what is corrupt with your admin account and what have you done in the past.

  In my opinion, if you want to keep your configuration, stop OPI to run with your extra account and be happy. Each connection of two months using original admin account and check for updates.

• A keyboard button broke on the Satellite A100-906

  Hi guys,.

  A few days ago, I bought Satellite a100-906. As soon I got home, I found a keyboard button (the cap of the inner part) is broken (the letter M).
  Is it possible to order the keyboard keys separately or only the full keyboard?

  My local dealer said only a full keyboard is available, but its just funny, I should buy a new a keyboard cover of a letter.

  Usually if the button mechanism is broken the whole keyboard needs to be replaced, but if only the CAP is bad, it should be possible to order the single keyboard key caps.
  The removal of the keys is not very delicate. Just go under the key with the nail CAP and remove the cap of key.

  But I assumed that the guarantee is valid so the service partner should do it for free.

• Satellite R830 random freeze with no way to take back control - full fan speed

  Hello
  I've been Googling autour for a bit now, looking for a solution to what could be a hardware problem.

  Randomly my Satellite R830 suddenly freezes and the speed of the fan running at full speed. It's actually a useful way to be immediately aware that my computer crashed. Everything is frozen, the only way out is to force via the power button.

  I hit the same description on several Web site for different models of Toshiba, return of 2009. It seems that the problem is still there! I also read testimonials from this problem for Windows and Linux OS. I use a Debian Squeeze, which does not detect the newspaper when the accident occurred.

  Sometimes it can be fine for a week, but recently, the computer freeze at least once a day, which is not acceptable for a new laptop.

  I am really getting concerned if something will be done soon, or if I should ask for an Exchange and pray to be spared. I use my laptop on a daily basis for professional use, and so I would definitely prefer another solution. I have been waiting for 4 months now and just update my BIOS 3 days ago from Web site of Toshiba with no noticeable improvement. the computer crashed 4 times in the last 2 days.

  If someone managed to overcome this problem, I would be very grateful for the tip!

  Hello

  A question: do you have a fingerprint reader?

  I got this Toshiba document that describes a problem similar to yours.
  This problem can be caused by old fingerprint software you need to update this software where you have a fingerprint reader.

• Support for Windows 10 on Satellite R830

  Hello

  I checked the Toshiba´s Web site and apparently Satellite R830 is not in the list of expandable devices to win 10.

  It's just a matter of time until Toshiba prepares the necessary drivers, or is it a definitive policy?

  I found in other forums some attempts to modernize the network... but it would be nice to hear some experiences and plans here

  Thank you

  Even if the laptop is not listed on the site Web of Toshiba Windows 10, this does not mean that you can not install Windows 10.

  But the fact is that Windows 10 drivers and Toshiba Software is not available for this model of laptop... it might be possible that some mobile features like the FN buttons work properly, but you can try to install the Windows 10 drivers / tools at the other series notebook that could solve the problem...

  So don't be worried that the unit is not officially model Win 10 taken in charge... This isn't really a reason NOT to use the system... you know...

• U940-11 x satellite: FN + keyboard keys do not work correctly

  Dear all,

  I have problems with my Toshiba Satellite recently bought U940-11 X, serial number 2D015354K.

  1. at each reboot the laptop my keyboard settings are not accurate and symbols and function keys do not work properly. So it is also not possible to enter the bios via F2 after reboot.
  I have to press CTRL + SHIFT to have my keyboard works correctly. I have to do this every time I use my laptop.

  2. the touchpad (Synaptics TouchPad SMBus) does not work after a few minutes. The only thing I can do is plug an external usb mouse. I have also tried using FN + F9 does not work.

  Please, can someone help me on this?

  Thank you!
  Jeroen Raymakers

  > So it is also not possible to enter the bios via F2 after reboot.

  I see that the laptop using Win 8.
  You need to perform a full stop down to access the BIOS.

  See this document. It provides information how to change the settings to access the BIOS:

  + Perform a complete shutdown in Windows 8 +.

  > I have to press CTRL + SHIFT to have my keyboard works correctly.
  Have you checked the presentation of the keyboard settings?
  For me, it looks like you are using wrong keyboard layout settings. Using the key combination CTRL + SHIFT changes between keyboard layouts.

  How do I change this?
  Go to the Control Panel-> regional and Language Options
  A click on the "Keyboards and languages" tab then click on "change keyboards" button. Then in the tree "Installed services" list, select the keyboards you don't want and click 'remove.

• Satellite R830 - issues Wifi

  I needed to change the security on my router settings. But something weird happened on my Satellite R830 running Windows 7 64-bit with card I Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230.

  When I right click on the WiFi option 'Properties' usual (where I would normally change the security settings) is no longer there.

  I deleted the connection in "Network & Sharing Center, Manage Wireless Networks", in the hope that Windows was asking me new settings, the next time that I am connected. But that did not help.

  I've changed the SSID but Windows has always tried to connect without having to apply the security settings.

  When I click on "Manage Wireless settings, add, manually create a network profile", nothing happens. No window to set up the network.

  I tried two system restores, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers wifi (older and newer drivers), trying to do all this mode without failure, support network, all to nothing does not. I stopped all the loading of bloatware and disabled my anti-virus.

  I am at a loss, but also end of my mind. Please help me restore sanity! Thank you.

  It is really strange.

  I hope that your wireless network card is installed (listed in the Device Manager) and active properly.
  What you can try is to start preinstalled ConfigFree. It is the small utility Toshiba.
  Click with the left button of the mouse on the symbol ConfigFree and choose the RADAR option.

  Radar must detect all available wireless networks. Is nothing detected?
  If this isn't the case, I guess there is a problem with your router. Check the settings and do not forget the option WLAN is enabled.

  Please test this and send feedback.

• Satellite R830 and Windows 10 question webcam

  The Microsoft Upgrade Advisor said that my Satellite R830-182 would be allowed to switch to Windows 10, so I made the leap. Everything works fine, except the webcam of Toshiba. Device Manager States "the drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)" and click on "update drivers" is futile.

  The Toshiba site looking for an updated driver, I found that this model is not in their models supported for Windows 10, despite the advice of Mrs.

  Anyone know if there is a way around this problem (another pilot?), or it is impossible to get this webcam works in Windows 10?

  Thank you.

• Supported satellite R830-182 and SSD

  Anyone know if there is news of SSD in Toshiba laptops?

  I ask because I have a Satellite R830-182 and I recently purchased an OCZ Agility 4 and it is not detected by the BIOS.

  I tried all the tricks in the book including the BIOS upgrade and switching between AHCI/IDE.

  Research online, find posts on this topic.
  The general consensus seems to be that Toshiba has actively chosen not to support other than their own brand SSDs. Is this true? And if so, is that still the case?

  Someone suggested that [by pressing Pause | https://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=244444𻫜] before entering the BIOS would help.
  Has anyone tried this before?
  Not sure that it is a viable long-term solution.

  Any other thoughts/advice on this?

  > Research online, I find messages on this particular problem.
  > The general consensus seems to be that Toshiba has actively chosen not to support other than their own brand SSDs. Is this true? And if so, is that still the case?

  I have Toshiba laptop and I could upgrade the laptop with a SSD 250 GB from another manufacturer. One of my friends with Toshiba Satellite laptop also use another brand of SSD 2.5 drive.

  But the fact is that the problems of compatibility between different devices (not always SSDS but other modules PCI as well) can happen and its nothing unusual in the world of large computing.

  As far as I know that some R830 models are equipped with a ' Solid State Drive (SSD) instead of a hard drive. Type of SSD SATA 2.5 "SSD SATA type 256/512 GB and 1.8" 128 GB must be compatible. "
  But its also a matter of SSD drive firmware. In many cases firmware drive SSD can be not BIOS supported.
  In this case the SSD drive would not be recognized correctly.
