Satellite R830 - SPACEBAR keyboard problem

• Portege R830 - Trackpad/keyboard problem

  HI - hope someone can help because I have only a few strands of hair left out!

  In the last two weeks, a problem has developed with the trackpad - and maybe my keyboard. Here are some of the symptoms

  1. the cursor on the screen suddenly freezes. If I leave the laptop and work back, and it's not.

  2. If I tap on the keyboard (can simply press the keys or I could be typing in a document) and the cursor may freeze again. During this event the little 'mouse/trackpad' power icon flashes briefly on the screen. If I hit another key (literally anywhere on the keyboard) a number of times (not the model number) the icon can cycle and the slider moves and then freeze again.

  It's as if each key on the keyboard is somehow the role of the FnF9 key.

  Unfortunately I took the laptop on a business trip recently and this time after initialization the laptop - the cursor was frozen and no amount of pressure button thoughtful or random didn't get going. It is a working battery. That scared the hell out of me.

  If I plug in a USB keyboard and mouse and then pressing the keys on this keyboard does not cause the cursor to freeze. But he can do anyway - as described in 1. above.

  The F9 key will unlock the cursor (I guess re - turn on the trackpad) - but it won't be long before cycle back again.

  I did not drop the phone. There is nothing physically wrong with her. The battery holds its charge and it starts successfully. I did no change of material during the month.

  The only button on the keyboard that is not working is the mouse/trackpad power button just above the space bar. It feels a bit depressed - but I think that is how it has always been. Juggle it makes no difference to this bizarre and erratic behavior. But perhaps this is relevant.

  When I tried.

  Reinstall the trackpad driver (Synaptics).

  Reinstall the PVAT (value package).

  I even tried to re-imaging of HARD drive to one of these days - and the other just after that I bought the laptop in 2012. Which should have solved if it was a software/driver problem - but it didn't.

  One thing I did not, is venturing into the BIOS. Maybe there is something in them?

  In Device Manager that everything is listed - no warning at all. There seems to be be no IRQ conflict.

  This could be a hardware problem? I read that the keyboards on R830 are quite likely to damage/stoppage of work. A the United Kingdom popular auction site has sellers who claim to have sold more than 40! That's a lot of R830s who have had new keyboards.

  I also know that a replacement is a pain, so I hope that's not it.

  Someone at - it suggestions? It makes me crazy.

  I google extensively and can't come up with anything either. There are the usual raft of people trying to find how to activate the trackpad or disable - but none seem to be struggling with the laptop made for them.

  Help!

  Hello

  According to the description of your problem, it seems that the touchpad is disabled automatically.
  As you have already mentioned, the touchpad can be enabled and disabled by using the FN + F9 key combination function

  Since you have also some keyboard problems, my theory is that there is a problem of keyboard that may be responsible for the touchpad ON / OFF question.

  What do you think of this theory?

  I put t think there is a software problem because as you already reset the system to the point in time at the beginning (factory settings?). This is why I think that the conflict of software cannot be the reason for this.

• 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.

• Re: Satellite P200 (PSPB6E) - keyboard problem

  Hello

  I have a keyboard with Satellite P200, series PSPB6E problem.

  Keyboard seems to generate Press Page Down constantly, although nothing has been paid to this subject.
  It is even difficult to turn on laptop, because it produced consecutive beeps and prevents the computer from starting.

  Sometimes some keyboard characters do not work, and in the second time it works. Sometimes same PgDown works as expected.
  Œuvres for additional keyboard, but it also receives PgDown keyboard of the laptop.

  Now, I can't insert any sentence in this post, because PgDown will move the cursor down.
  Laptop is under warranty. Should I enable it?

  I note that no. LIQUID is poured on the keyboard.

  On the keyboard of the computer laptop not work keys A, B, N, LEFT SHIFT, INPUT, same brief moments where PgDown keys not dumping. Sometimes even these key works!

  Best regards
  Vladimir Stefanovic

  Great news, buddy! :)

  I also have good experience with my ASP. They fixed the laptop as soon as possible and the repair took only a few days. It's also free.

  So still I m happy with the service!

• On Satellite A505-S6973 keyboard problems

  Goodday once again everyone,

  Can someone tell me if the built-in on my Satellite A505-S6973 keyboard has a backlight.
  I watch a lot of these new laptops and similar to mine, under the keyboard it is white and I don't know if that's how it's supposed to light. If so, can someone tell me.

  On the Toshiba U.S. support page I checked the specification for laptop computer and, of course, your laptop doesn t have this backlit keyboard.
  Just FYI: all illuminated keyboard have FN + Z option to turn on/off illumination.
  With other words symbol small keyboard will be on the Z key.

  This option, when the backlit keyboard is in the book is also available in Toshiba HWSetup tool.

• On the Satellite U50T-A keyboard problem

  I have a U50T.-a Satellite.
  Control device (keyboard) shows the following error message:
  Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

  I tried to solve this problem, but I don't know what to do.

  Message was edited: assignment has been translated

  Are you abele to use the USB mouse or the touchpad?

  If Yes, then you should be able get the system back to point in time at the beginning.

  Restart the computer, go to the area of backup and system restore, then select the save point that has been created in the past.

  This restores the system and fix the registry.

  I think the keyboard should work after this procedure.

• Satellite L855 - 12N - keyboard problem after upgrade to Windows 10

  Greetings friends,
  the problem goes like this: I have a TOSHIBA satellite, L855-12N, Series notebook.

  After updrading to win 10, some of my keys (a, n, enter) did not work initially.
  If I wait for awhile, they start work later.
  I find that I continue to press a button, (for example the button "a") for a long time, I see that he started to answer, then stop again and then answer - stop, until finally it works OK.
  I tried to update the drivers, uninstall and then reinstall, but it doesn't seem to work.
  Anyone know what's going on, or have any suggestions?
  Thank you.

  You are 100% it's a matter of Windows 10?
  Looks more like a hardware problem, keyboard should replace.

  Go into the BIOS and test the keyboard in there.
  If it goes into the BIOS and then replace the keyboard.

  If it's a software problem, try uninstalling the driver for the touchpad Control Panel, then reinstall it via Windows Update.

• Re: Satellite A300D - strange keyboard problem

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my Satellite A300D: when I press on 'y' or '5', I get a "y5" and when I press "n" or "b", I get a "nb".
  If I hold down y or 5, it seems y5yyy... and with n and b I get nbnnn...

  What you think could be the problem? Keyboard? Or some other hardware controller?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It is difficult to say why this happens, but in your case I would like to connect an external keyboard and check this. You may notice the same behavior?

  If not, I think the case is clear: your keyboard internal doesn t work properly and you need a new. Therefore, you can contact a service provider authorized in your country.

  By the way: have you checked the keyboard input language?

• 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

• On Satellite C660-1J2 keyboard problems

  I have 2 laptops from Toshiba, type Satellite C660-1J2 used by 2 different people and we both have the same problem.
  The problem is with typing, many times it jumps a letter and sometimes a letter not to show, and then when you hit it again you get 2 letters and sometimes just get 2 letters to hit once.

  We tested it and it's a real big problem for us, because we use it for school...

  Help us please!

  Update the BIOS this will certainly solve!
  There are a lot of discussions on this issue and the update of the BIOS helped to address this problem.

• On the Satellite L650-19W keyboard problems

  Hello

  A very strange and annoying problem developed on my laptop about four days ago. First of all, here's my laptop specs:

  Satellite L650 - 19W
  8 GB RAM (DDR3)
  Windows 7 64 bit
  Intel Core i5 CPU

  The problem is that some of the keys also trigger others.
  For example, whenever I have reached space I get a 'p' first, followed by a space, exactly the same thing happens when I press 'p '.

  Similar results occur with the 'h' and ' 6 ', ' 3' and the '+', the 2 and the ' / ', the 'f' and 4', as well as a few others. The passage of the right hand does not work with all keys and BACKSPACE can not be held down, IE only deletes one character at a time.

  I tried to restore to a point in front of what is going on started, as well as the stop, remove the battery and holding down the button start for 60 s, the two nothing helps. I have read similar problems, some people have recommended BIOS update.

  I downloaded an update of the BIOS for this computer from Toshiba Web site, but I'm wary to run due to a lot of people say you can ruin your ifp computer you don't know what you are doing, is it true?

  Any help would be appreciated, because she makes me crazy! It took half an hour to type this message!

  Hello

  I think that there is no other solution than to replace the internal keyboard.
  I guess its problem of keyboard internal a simple malfunction what can happen to the keyboards of the domestic.

  Have you tried external USB keyboard? Try and test how the unit would be.
  I guess it will work properly and the question wouldn t occur in external USB keyboard.

  We all have the same problem with keyboard.
  When we type something, some keys are lost down by the keyboard (such as a buffer overflow)

  An external USB keyboard works very well.

  Some of our machine went to TOSHIBA support and came back with the same problem!

  This problem is known outside France?

• Satellite L555-11u keyboard problem

  Hello

  I wonder if a Toshiba representative could help me. I have recently (3 days ago!) bought a Toshiba laptop (Satellite L555-11u) and I noticed a problem
  with the keyboard. I can't use the 'L' key at all, and I hope that my hardware warranty for repair of this problem.
  I checked that all the drivers are installed and up to date and that there has been no physical damage to the keyboard or laptop.
  How I can get this problem solved in Ireland?

  Thank you

  RF

  Of course, the warranty will cover keyboard replacement, if necessary.
  In my opinion, you must contact your dealer as soon as possible. Usually, you have two weeks (depending on the country of purchase) duration shipping will return your product. So, try to contact your local dealer and try to get the replacement. I'm sure you can get the new laptop.

  If this does not work please contact authorized Toshiba service and explain the situation.
  To find the address and phone number visit the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page > support & downloads > find an ASP.

  Good luck.

• 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
