  • My Acer Aspire V - 123 Windows 8 keeps freezing and some keys on the keyboard are not working

    I'm currently using a netbook ACER ASPIRE V - 123 with Windows 8 as its operating system and it is not yet updated to 8.1.

    At first when my computer laptop while boots 'seems' to agree, and whenever I try to open a file without any content it took me about 30-45 seconds, opening a program would take me almost 45 seconds to a minute, and I think that something is not right with my laptop and when I try to open a website via my web browser and my laptop would just FREEZE and I can't do anything about it , but I hate to do HARD reset. And to add to this unfortunate scenario is that some of the keys on my keyboard are not working the letters like R, T, I, O and backspace and many others (which I don't remember exactly one by one).

    I try to read some forums on different sites and some posts to the community of MS and did several tests like starting in SAFE MODE w / NETWORKING and downloaded the software like MALWAREBYTES to find potential infections, but nothing found. I also did the start-up in MINIMAL MODE, but again, the situation was the same, but when I'm the boot without failure the filling and freezing are only decrease and I don't want always starts in mode safe.

    From now my laptop is booting in a start-up in MINIMAL MODE and I don't know what to do next, what to try next. I hope someone could lead me to the solution to this problem, I would be eternally GRATEFUL.

    Please do help me in a step by step process and if possible please guide me with pictures or screenshots because I prefer to learn things when I Visual effects on what to do.

    Thanks for patiently reading this post.

    Hi Ben,

    Sorry for the late reply, the laptop has been fixed, it seems to be a hardware problem. We disconnected the connection of the keyboard to the laptop right now I use an external keyboard to type. Cannot afford now to buy and replace my laptop keyboard, the graphics card Driver has been updated also and I've reformatted the OS

    The gel did not appear more in the normal boot and if all goes well for work this way for good.

    Thanks for the information you have shared to me, he has also been a great help.

    until next time Ben!

    Best regards

  • Some keys on the keyboard for Satellite A500-025 are strange

    My Toshiba Satellite A500-025 has a keyboard with strange symbols on it. The back key on the right side of the keyboard is also a vertical rectangular key with 2 keys between the key containing the semicolon and the return key which is too far.

    On other Toshiba keyboards I've seen in stores, the return key is a horizontal rectangular key with that one key between the semicolon and the return key. Anyone know why I have this strange configuration on my keyboard?

    Thank you

    To be honest I don't know on which keys you mean exactly, but I think you should consult your dealer and ask what it can be.
    If you want to discuss about it here please make the photo of your keyboard and mark them with red circle, what do you mean exactly.

    I don't know what other Toshiba keyboards you mean but fact is that the Satellite A500 is Toshiba the first laptop with screen 16 delivered with larger keyboard, including the numeric keypad.

  • After the installation of Windows 8, some of the keys on the keyboard are

    Original title: keyboard

    My @ and "got traded as soon as I installed windows 8 on my computer dell laptop... What is the solution to get their right"

    I think I've figured this out. The cause is that Windows think that your keyboard is British and not American English. If you go to the right tab and click on settings, then place the cursor on the icon of the keyboard, you will still be able to see UK (English).

    What you need to do is to follow method 2 above. You will need to ensure that only the US keyboard (in English) is selected. In my case, the United States and the United Kingdom have been listed. Even if I had put U.S. primary, it was always not get picked up. Just so remove the United Kingdom one altogether and restart your computer. Now, it should work very well!
  • Satellite X 200-how clean some keys on the keyboard

    Hello.

    I'm looking to remove a portion of each of the keys on my keyboard and clean.
    Some keys are starting to feel 'sticky', and I don't want to be cleaning them up and so on.

    So, I'm having issues actually remove the individual keys. Like a laptop keyboard, I'm doubting you can just 'pop' out the keys with a needle or similar object. So, how do I remove them?

    Quick Edit: as the title suggests, it's the Toshiba X 200.

    Hello

    You mean you want to delete only the caps key?
    Yes it is possible and the caps are glued on the keyboard!

    So you can remove it carefully using a thin object.
    You can out simple plugs with care.

    I did very often to clean the space under the caps of buttons!

    I use the on-screen keyboard. Unit 6 months.

    Could something be turned on/off? Virus? or the use of the guarantee?

    Any ideas appreciated
    Jay

    Hello

    Well, it can happen that some keys stop working after several months and you can't do anything.

    You must contact the authorized service provider for a new keyboard because some individual keys can be exchanged, only the entire keyboard.
    Your laptop is only 6 months old, and then the repair is covered under warranty. :)

    On the Toshiba page, you can find a list of ASP.

    Hello

    I don't think that a single Win 8.1 update would affect single keyboard buttons.
    It doesn't make any since to me
    That's why I m not quite sure if it s really a software problem.

    You have an external USB keyboard? You can test it in your laptop?
    The fact is that if this USB keyboard would work properly, software is not the problem but the internal keyboard could be the troublemaker.

    I think you should test this before you try to reinstall the system

  • Tecra A7: Some keys on the keyboard do not work

    8 9 I have o k l and the down and right arrows.

    The first 8 are in a straight line down. Now using a USB external keyboard, but that does not in my bag when visiting customers.

    Someone has an idea of what could be bad?

    Thank you
    Marc

    Hello Mark,

    your problem may be something simple (the connector on your keyboard should be reinstalled, because she came off), or in the worst cases, the film of connection had broken (cut) and does not allow signals to be transmitted to the motherboard. If you are still under warranty, you should prefer consulting Toshiba for a quote, rather than attempt to fix this yourself.

    If you feel confident to do it yourself, lift the plastic above the keyboard cover and remove the two screws that secure the keyboard (the screws are hidden under the plastic cover). Then you can reinstall connector 'films as' in its place.

    Here is a sample image of a keyboard removed showing the location of the screws (upstairs next door) and the movie-a-like (bottom) connector:
