Some keys stop working after formatting...
Recently I have formatted my laptop and reinstalled Windows XP and all the drivers.
Everything is going well except 2-3 keys on the keyboard do not work (@ and -keys do not come). It is due to bad/lack of driver or another setting is it?
Laptops must they keyboard drivers? I installed all the drivers that I had in the bundle.
Any ideas what it could be for Compaq C794wu? (XP)
I mean, the keys work, but the result is different.

Some keys stop working after the update of the Sierra (only for a specific profile)
After update to Sierra my keyboard worked well for a while. But at random, U I O P J K L keys stopped working.
The bug only shows 1 profile. If I create another profile new profile keyboard works very well.
Anyone know what that sometimes caused that and with the fix is?
Hello ExcelsiorPath,
After reviewing your post, it seems that several keys do not work on a single profile. This looks like an option that may have been changed. I recommend you to read this article, it may be able to help solve the problem.
If the other keys do not work
You may have accidentally set an option that changes your keyboard works.
Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click keyboard. Make sure that slow keys is turned off. If slow keys is enabled, you will need to keep a key longer than usually before it is recognized.
Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click mouse and Trackpad. Make sure that the mouse keys is turned off. If the mouse keys is enabled, pressing the keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering the numbers.
Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click keyboard, and then click input methods. Select "Show the menu in the menu bar." Open the menu entry, then make sure that the correct keyboard layout is selected.
To display the keyboard layout, click keyboard, and then choose "See the viewers for emoji keyboard symbols in the menu bar."

Satellite A300 - some keys stopped working after downgrde from Vista to XP
Hello
Excuse me for my bad English. I have a problem with my Satellite A 300 PSAG4E-0450. Operating system went from Vista to XP. Easy keys, keys shortcut and illumination stopped working. All the drivers have been downloaded. I tried to find it in Control Panel-> Toshiba controls. I changed to bright power, but this isn't work. If I try to turn it off, I see a window with "choose order".
What can be wrong?
Thanks for your help.Hello!
As far as I know, the lighting can be disabled and enabled in the BIOS.
Check it!To shortcut keys, you should try to install the Toshiba controls and utilities hotkey.
From Toshiba Web site: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.comI hope it's useful for you.
Good bye

Satellite L300D-135 - some keys stop working after a few minutes
Satellite L300D-135 (PSLC8E-02P013EN) portable model, boot cold keyboard is fine. As things warm up the keys R and there stop responding as do 7890 keys. May be heat related.
The keyboard has been replaced, old and new are doing the same thing, so it's more like a controller issue. Have flashed the latest BIOS as saw talk of the keyboard problems in one of the versions of the BIOS. The end user has been tolerated for a few months, but now, Dyslexic child needs to use the laptop and cannot deal with dead keys.
Any ideas? Laptop is 2 weeks out of warranty and user end just asked me to take a peek, problem has been around for the warranty period.

Hi Phil
Can you notice the question even if you connect an external keyboard or this only happens with an intern?
I can t imagine it has something to do with the heat, but if you want you can clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.
If this isn't the case, you must replace the entire keyboard. Normally it of not so expensive so Don t you worry not about it. You can also ask your ASP if they can repair as a gesture of goodwill.

Satellite A105-S4254: several keyboard keys stop working after startup
Hey
I have a laptop A105-S4254, which is less than a year.
When I boot it upward a few minutes most of the keys stopped working.
The F keys will however continue to work.
I can laugh with the brightness and activate / disable the num lock and scroll but I can't type.A number of key just freeze.
When I reboot the keys work for a few minutes and then stop working again.Please help me with suggestions and solutions.
ThanxHello
For me, it looks like a hardware problem. Maybe it s the keyboard or keyboard controller itself.
But first, you must be sure that this failure was not due to a software problem.
Therefore, it would be desirable to update the system and install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD.If the keyboard problem appears again, I'd recommend contacting the ASP in your country to control the laptop.
It seems that the guarantee could be valid for all replacements must be done for free.
See you soon

Access keys stopped working after update Win XP on Portege M200 and M400
After having invited to do, I recently upgraded to Windows XP two my Portege m400 and m200 notebooks.
Since then, I've noticed as hotkeys that i.e. Fn + F1 - F12 has stopped working.
Outside the windows updates, I only use and change a lot on the m200 so I am sure this has to do with the Xp updates.Can someone help me restore the m200 and m400 hotkeys?

< Fn > keys stopped working after XP updates
I have XP Home Edition sp3. I was invited for 6 updates for XP. After installation and restarting in now my
keys on laptop are not working. None of them work. Other combinations of keys are OK. + C, etc are OK. Is there a way to remove the updates that have been installed? The laptop manufacturers implement the Fn key by using different techniques. The first thing to do is to go to the website of the manufacturer of your laptop and download and install the driver of current keyboard for your computer.
Still problems? Post back with the brand and model of your computer.
FYI, you can always go to windows update and click on the link to 'Review your update history'. You will be able to identify the specific updates that have been installed. Post their KB numbers here if you do not understand them.
For diagnostic purposes, you can uninstall more updates by going to control panel > add or remove programs and by checking the box at the top to 'See the updates'. In general, however, it is not a good idea to leave uninstalled patches 'critical'.

I want to know that my synchronized computer key will work if I format my drive hard because when the hard drive is formatted, then the key code is deleted, even though I saved my key will it work after formatting hard drive. Let me know.
let me also know that what will happen if I lose the key I had saved then how will I access my synchronized computer .
Hello!
Can you indicate the information where it says that the information is stored in our servers? If that mentioned anywhere we need to clarify.
The only reference I found is here: How can I set up Sync on my computer? and it is specifically stated that the information is synchronized on devices through our servers. If it is misleading, let me know so that we can reword it.
Regarding the storage of the key in your pen drive or any other backup system: this is the best solution and it will work correctly after you format your computer. The key does not change when you format your computer, so you will have no problems after all.

Portege Z10t-a - intermittiently touchpad stops working after mode 'sleep'
Hello
I have a protected Z10A and the touchpad and keyboard intermittiently stops working after the mode 'sleep'. I can't wake up, or restart without re-booting.
I did the update to the keyboard firmware docker as advised in a thread on January 2014, but this did not help the problem.
This computer is 2 weeks.I was download site and updated all the drivers and updates.
The computer works perfectly except for this problem.When the Tablet is in standby, the white led flashes, and it is when everything works fine, but if the light for some reason any does not Flash but still turned on, then it will not start and I have to restart the tablet.
I have disabled hibernation in the options mode, but still no help.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
mmHello
I m wondering if the option (in BIOS) called Wake-Up on the keyboard is turned on.
To restore the functioning of the computer from sleep mode, press the power button or any key on the dock of the keyboard for a short period of time. But the keys on the keyboard can be used if the option is enabled.Note: when the laptop is in Sleep Mode, the power indicator of will blink white. If the light flashes white, the computer laptop isn t set mode sleep!

Equium U400-124 easy / multimedia keys stopped working
I recently discovered that the easy keys (soft touch multimedia keys) have stopped working. I've had this laptop for a month and then one day, they stopped resonding they set only occasionally when in a hurry and do not function they are supposed to work. After a recovery of product they started working again and after loading some of my software back on they stopped working again.
To cut a long story short (many recoveries of product!) I took the laptop replacement, now with a new laptop of the same model that the keys have stopped working after one day. I tried the recoveries of new product and it suits it only occasionally but soon stops working again. They don't stop working after you install a specific software and after that I managed to make them work again after based them on everything as many times during the startup. I tried several times re-installation of value-added support package and also to save shortcuts to media to toshiba button in toshiba assist menu to nothing will do.
Does anyone know what could be causing that two of these models, I had so maybe I'm not alone with this problem or know any better drivers for these keys as I suspect, this is some sort of driver problem before I have to take this second laptop back and get a different model now is come / manufacturer?
Hello
I'm not very well why you Toshiba control buttons were off work of m.
But in my opinion, it would be possible that something (of the 3rd party software application) messed with the registry keys and entries.
What you could try to clean the registry and operating system using the free tool called CCleaner.On the other hand a new BIOS was published on the page of Toshiba. That's why it should also update the BIOS to the latest state.
Good luck

My CD/DVGW device stop working after iTunes was installed with Apple records.
My CD/DVGW stop working after you install the program iTunes with Apple records. The letter (e) are attributed to him does not appear in computer (Windows Vista Home Premium), as it was before. Every time the PC is switched on or reboot, a message from Apple saying "AppleSyncNotifier.exe point of entry is not found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_prepare_v2 could not be found in the dynamic library SQLite3.dll. "The HP device proves that this CDROM works. iTunes has been removed, but the apple files are still there. Driver Detective advised to remove the filters from the registry. Only the filters 'less' appeared and has been deleted. This does not solve the problem. Should I delete all Apple records that have been installed with iTunes? This will damage other programs?

Systen restore does not a remote date just to put it as he was back. Can someone help, please?

Having too many competing programs from loading at startup CD/DVD can cause these problems.
Deleted? Or did you correctly uninstall iTunes? Check with iTunes support for complete hair removal methods.

Firefox extension: 'TrueSuite 5.2.500.16' stopped working after the last update of firefox (30.0), although subject: said plugin activated.
I tried to reset firefox and search for similar problems, unfortunately found nothing.
It is also weird empty space before the address in the address bar
other extensions and addons seems to work very well.
Firefox 30 spent some less commonly used "Always turned on" plugins "asking to activate. To check and change this to TrueSuite, you can use the page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click on Plugins. Then on the right, check the setting on the right side of TrueSuite.
Any difference?
Note to other readers: the original poster had to leave Firefox and start it again until it is actually entered into force.
