• Windows will behave as if the left SHIFT key is stuck

  I had this recurring problem where Windows will behave as if the left SHIFT key is stuck. I opened the keyboard on the screen and it does not show the key to press. While this issue happens, unplug the keyboard and by him plugging back in does not solve it.

  I'm pretty sure that NOT to be the problem:
  (1) something inside the keyboard causing it to stick.
  (2) the keyboard is defective.
  (3) to a new update/program installed.
  (4) initiated by the user, (seemingly random).
  (5) the motherboard is faulty.

  After searching several forums, it is clear that this is a widespread problem and is NOT limited to my hardware or operating system.
  Unfortunately, it seems that most Tech this fired up as an individual problem and do not give the solution of rolling back/reinstall windows, which are not an option for me.

  It is not last forever, which means that I still have not restart before it fixed itself (sometimes), and I tried almost every combination of buttons to try to repair.

  System information:

  Gigabyte Z68AP-D3

  Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 6.1.7601

  Intel Core i7 - 2700 k CPU @ 3.50 GHz

  Total system memory: 8 GB memory DDR3 - 1600 (PC3 - 12800)

  GeForce GTX 550 Ti 2 GB GDDR 5

  DirectX 11.0

  In case you need something I didn't not give please ask.

  Once again, I searched for some time prior to this announcement and have found no answers at the moment. Thank you for your time.

  I had the same problem after breaking down or brewing Maj (sticky keys). See if the "Set up sticky keys" or deactivating solves the problem.

  Even if you say that's not a bad keyboard, it could be. Try using a different keyboard if the deactivation of the sticky keys does not work. Sorry if it's a laptop and you do not have a USB keyboard.

• Left Ctrl key does not work as expected

  Original title: keyboard/Windows problem

  Hi there I met a strange problem that just happened, don't forget that I did not add that shortcuts to my keyboard just randomly happened.

  So when I press the LEFT CTRL key a far left, it opens a new window Chrome and in search spam 000 bar if you keep holding it, it will continue to open several windows and keep doing this.

  Any idea? Thank you

  PS Also scanned for Malware nothing shown!

  Hello

  1. What is the brand and model of the keyboard?

  2. you did any software or hardware changes to the computer before the show?

  Analysis of computer malware in order to solve the problem has been a very good start to get the problem resolved. I really appreciate your technical expertise.

  Instead of using the physical keyboard to type and enter data, you can use the on-screen keyboard. On-screen keyboard displays a Visual keyboard with all the standard keys. You can select keys using the mouse or another pointing device, or you can use a unique key or a group of keys to scroll through the keys on the screen.

  Type without using the keyboard (on-screen keyboard)

• Satellite P200D-139 - left CTRL key does not

  Hello. I recently bought a new P200D-139 and have found that the left CTRL button does not work. For example, if I try to copy using CTRL + C, it does not. It is the way in which the keyboard is configured with these laptops or is it a problem of possible hardware/software?

  All the tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  I have the same laptop and CTRL + C works on the first day. The laptop with muss factory settings allow you to use this key combination.
  It works with the right CTRL key?

  Hello

  You must use the original Toshiba keyboard that is cared for and compatible with this laptop.
  All parts and devices, you can buy the Toshiba authorized partner in your country. The database complete with ASP in the world, you can find on the page of European support of Toshiba.

  Usually, if you want to remove the keyboard to remove first the thin cover above the keyboard.
  There are two screws holding the keyboard. After the withdrawal of these two screws, you will be able to set the keyboard.
  But be careful; the keyboard is connected with the flat cable to the motherboard.

• Satellite L555-11U, CTRL key does not work.

  Welcome,
  I bought this laptop about 2 weeks ago.
  Since Monday, both the CTRL key are as "disabled" but I'm sure, that they are not damaged.
  Because:
  When I press on (left and right) CTRL + v, this spell: vr. Or c: C3

  Then I discovered while playing Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2:
  If I use the wheel size the Volume, the function of CTRL has been set for her.
  This means: in Cod MW2 I use CTRL to crouchinng... now, if I use the wheel I Crouch. Even in other games.

  I did my best to write in English: D
  Thanks for the help,
  Syan

  Hello

  Very strange, I think that the buttons are not damage, but I think there could be a problem with the keyboard.

  But just a question; have you tried to reinstall the operating system and to check if the button works again? You use the latest version of the BIOS?
  Please check everything first.

  If the buttons do not work even the installation of new OS and new BIOS then it s a hardware problem and the keyboard should be replaced

  I think this shouldn't be a problem given that the guarantee is valid and everything should be done for free.

  Welcome them

• Computer laptop keyboard acts as the CTRL key is stuck

  No particular reason, that I can isolate, the keyboard on my brand new HP laptop will act sometimes as sank the CTRL key.  For example, if I type 'problem' when the problem occurs, most applications will be to print this page. It is especially annoying and I can't reproduce the problem... it is seemingly random.

  I disabled all the keyboard shortcuts as I can find a way to make keys sticky. I installed all available updates. I removed the keyboard driver and let the system to reinstall. And many other things I could think

  The only thing that seems to make the problem disappear (outside reboot) is to bring up the keyboard on the screen. All loading screen keyboard fixes the problem. This leads me to think that the problem may ultimately reside with the on-screen keyboard.

  I have not installed software on this computer that came with it at HP except Google Chrome.

  Return "no questions asked" warranty will expire soon, so I would like to get this resolved as soon as POSSIBLE

  Hello

  Try clicking both the left side and right side keys CTRL at the same time.  I hope that works for you!
  Good luck

• left-ctrl key of the laptop does not

  the right ctrl key works.
  When I press on the left-ctrl + C or V, I can't copy or paste.
  Is the same for any function shortcut ctrl in question.
  Is it same inconvenience and I hope someone can tell me the solution to this problem.

  Thanks in advance.

  Try an external keyboard (USB).  If it works, your likely laptop keyboard must then be repaired or replaced.

• Left Ctrl key does not

  I have a Hp ProBook 450 G1 and all of a sudden my left ctrl has stopped working, everything else works fine. I tried the StickyKeys, restart/reboot, uninstall the keyboard and put it back in, but nothing works. I tried to use a screen keyboard too to see if it works, but it doesn't.

  Probably the first sign of a faulty keyboard.  You'll probably have to replace it.  For a laptop, which requires qualified personnel and the RIGHT part. Check by connecting an external keyboard.  Use it at the moment.

• Ctrl key locks

  System: Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
  Model: HP Pavilion dv9700 Notebook PC
  Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5450 at 1.66 GHz
  Memory (RAM live): 3.00 GB
  System type: 32-bit

  Probably not related to the info above, but it can't hurt someone help.

  TL; DR: My computer keeps thinking that the ctrl key is pressed when it is not. Is there a way to solve this problem permanently, or my keyboard is simply broken?

  FULL ARTICLE:

  Today, I turned on my computer and the start screen where it tells the brand of computer and all ordered options and avoidance for the analyses of the system has really had much time to disappear and load the OS screen. I been a little perplexed and worried about it, but it doesn't seem to be a problem.

  Just in case, I did a virus scan with my Avast! Free antivirus and it tells me there is no problem with my computer. My unstable feeling, put at ease, it seemed OK to me. I open windows live messenger and tried to start talking to my friend, but it wouldn't let me type. Switch to Firefox, because I tried to find a solution, I found that I couldn't type out there either because all these windows as save the page and find jump upward.

  I discovered by pulling my on screen keyboard that my ctrl key has been locked, even if I wasn't pressing it at all. I temporarily fixed several times by pressing the CTRL on the keyboard on the screen or by pressing the right CTRL key on the physical keyboard several times, but only one of the two could never work. I determined that it was left CTRL that was causing the problem.

  Now my left ctrl key has had a history of bad luck with me. First the PAC itself came out a year ago, and then the little spongy rubber under a thing done as well. But the button still works if I press on the space where the key used to be. I don't know if the missing key could be part of the problem, but I doubt it because it has never been a problem before.

  I checked my settings, and sticky keys is not the problem. I doubt the sticky keys would be able to assign the same computer outside the OS anyway. I can't find a button or setting change to get this to stop, and the CTRL just randomly sticks again on the computer without warning, even when I'm not in contact with the laptop at all. It's really in the way of myself using my laptop, since I can't even type easily. Writing even this message was very difficult, given that the SHIFT is very inclined to press ctrl as well for some reason any, but which may or may not be the fault of the absence of a case key for my key Ctrl. As I was saying before, however, that the absence of Carter has never been a problem, even when I used Shift.

  My computer keyboard has changed often other languages for this reason also, and I had to go into my settings and erase all my shortcuts for changes of language because of this problem.

  I had to resort to the help of my shift for caps and random lock record and bookmarks and find windows pop up without warning. Backspace erases sometimes whole lines because, with the CTRL key, BACKSPACE deletes words, no letters.

  If someone could give me an answer, I would be really grateful!

  Hi Chrysfaic,

  You can try these steps and see if it helps.

  Step 1:

  Try pressing both keys CTRL left and right at the same time and see if that release CTRL.

  Step 2:

  a. go to start / settings / control Panel / Accessibility Options Options /Keyboard.

  b. turn off CTRL lock if it is enabled.

  c. If this solves and to avoid future problems, press "settings".

  d. disable "Press modifier key twice to lock.

  e. turn "disable automaintenues keys if 2 key at the same time." Or disable "use shortcut".

  For more information, see the following article:

  Facilitate the use of the keyboard

  Step 3:

  Clean your keyboard.

  If you're still having problems, then you may need to replace the keyboard.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Tecra M10 - stuck - CTRL key question may be to do with the BIOS?

  Hello and thanks for reading.

  I recently changed my Tecra M10 to Windows 7 (from XP), and it quickly developed the dreaded question-button stuck CTRL This causes the keyboard behaves as if the CTRL key is pressed continuously. Sometimes reaching a key combination, or bring up the on-screen keyboard, temporarily solves the problem, but he returned.

  It seems to be a problem that many people have no simple solution. I watched each thread that I find and tried a lot of things to do with drivers etc without success.

  So first of all, if anyone knows a remedy that works for this particular machine, I would be very grateful to hear!

  Then, there are two things that I did not yet: updating the BIOS and turn off pinch zoom.

  I was watching the following BIOS update:

  http://www.Toshiba-Asia.com/SG/support/drivers/details/25244

  ... which is the version 3.00 and seem to be more recent. My version is 1.90.

  However, version 3.00 is labeled "for PTMB0 * ONLY. I don't know what that means or if it applies to me. Can anyone help? Should I install this BIOS?

  For the pinch zoom, I was informed that disable sometimes cures the problem CTRL - but I can't find any installation zoom pinch on the M10. I think he doesn't have any one. Is this fair?

  Thanks much for any help you can give.

  Hello

  > I was watching the next BIOS update. is the version 3.00, which seems to be most recent. My version is 1.90.

  There are different Tecra M10 models on the market.
  Check the labels at the bottom of the unit. There you should find numbers like for example PTMB0E-01K00LGR

  The first 6 characters are important: for example PTMB0E

  I guess that your laptop belongs to the series of Europeans.
  In this case, you should check the page of the Toshiba UE driver for a possible update of the BIOS.
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  However, on the page of the Toshiba UE driver you will also find the BIOS for all European units Tecra M10 v3.0.

  Anyway, back to Ctrl + button question: guess what, you need to connect an external USB keyboard and must check how is the CTRL key.
  In case the USB keyboard would work properly, the internal keyboard CTRL key is assigned and you will need to replace the internal keyboard.

  PS: it would be possible that the "sticky keys" option has been activated. To disable this feature, you must press SHIFT 5 times in the line.

• Satellite A200 with enter key stuck

  Any ideas?

• Satellite 2450: Need a new Ctrl Key

  Just a small question, recently the CTRL button broken on my Satellite 2450, anyone know where I'd go for a replacement, because id rather not take it repaired because they charge amounts for her here, even when its still under warranty.

  Hello

  If only the cap - the CTRL key is broken, so you need to replace only this key, but if there is an additional failure with the keyboard if you need to replace the entire keyboard.

  However, all the parts and devices, you can order from the Toshiba service partner in your country.

  Good bye

• Satellite A30 - CTRL key not working

  Sometimes windows think the ctrl key is taped. The only way to compensation, is if I restart the system. It becomes more coherent, more I use the laptop and is a great nuesance

  Hello Ewan

  There are certain shortcomings. Maybe the contact is really stuck on. You can try to remove the plastic part and clean the contact or communicate with the service partner if there is no success. Be careful because all parts are very sensitive and can damage it.
