Strange keyboard on my Satellite L500 problem

I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-11V and in recent months the keyboard was make it worse (some keys work only when they want too) and now it has stopped working completely. I bought another keyboard hoping it would be a simple difficulty however, this has not solved the problem.

I did some research and updated the bios to v2.1, but it still does not work. The weird thing that I found which is good to use an external via USB keyboard when I press Caps and number on the external keyboard the two lights on the laptop keyboard lights?

I am running out of ideas, and it's really bugging me now. Any ideas how to sort this?

If the new keyboard didn t sole that there must be a serious hardware problem, keyboard controller, maybe.
I think you need professional help with this then I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can check with diagnostic tools and tell you with certainty what the problem is here.

  • Strange keyboard on my Satellite 2450 problem

    My Satellite 2450 system unit model ps245l-03H7YP made in the Philippines has problem. First 3 characters in my keyboards can operate (4.6 and space). After 1 week my Satellite cannot work, whenever I turn on the computer I have a Word? Check the system. Then press the [F1] key.

    This happens before the BIOS menu and I can't use my keyboard. But when I try with external keyboard I can get into the BIOS with push F1 Menu and I can't setting BIOS with all "N" key to the Toshiba keyboard & keyboard. With the external keyboard, I can enter my Windows XP.

    Hello

    For me, it's like something wrong with the internal keyboard or only with the keyboard controller.
    Maybe it's only one loses the keyboard cable but it's only a sugestion.
    Unfortunately, I don't think that you will be able to solve this problem without any help.
    I think you should ask the Toshiba service partner in your country for assistance and advice.

  • Strange keyboard on my Satellite M30 problem

    Hello

    I have a problem with the keyboard on my m30. He still thinks that the shift keys are pressed. The only way around this was to disable the two keys in the registry - using an external keyboard.

    External keyboard works perfectly.

    Thinking it was a problem with my keyboard, I replaced the keyboard m30 twice, but still have the same problem, even after a thorough cleaning of my OS.

    Do you think it could be a motherboard problem? It occurred after a year.

    Thank you

    TREV

    Hi trev

    In my opinion just detailed testing can clarify the situation. In my opinion, there is a hardware problem. I think that this keyboard controller is faulty. Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I know internal and external keyboard don t use the same controller.

    Try to contact the Service partner and ask them what may be the problem. They know what the problem is here.

  • Strange keyboard on my Satellite L40 problem

    I have laptop Satellite L40 - 17u, and I had it again for about 2 months. My keyboard now seems to do its own thing. I'm going to the settings to correct this. It is ok for a while then goes haywire once again, so leave some letters on the key on board either entered numbers, some type at all, and not to tap the buttons I'm pressing.

    I did a reforming and it always goes the same way.
    Any ideas please?
    Thank you

    You have recently installed a keyboard related software like AllChars? Exactly what settings change to correct the missbehaviour on your keyboard? If activate you NumLock?

  • Ubuntu 8.04 on Satellite L500 problems - 12 p

    There are problems of display/video installation Ubuntu 8.04 on L500 - 12 p.
    Ubuntu 9.04 works perfectly, but I need to work only with 8.04

    Please help me solve this problem, where the display drivers? I tried to install the utility chipset for windows and display drivers for windows without success.

    Thank you in advance!

    Kents salvation,
    It seems that you don't have much experience on linux...

    Why do you want to use an old kernel?
    Check the differences with the 8.04 to 9.04 versions!
    If you need a special version of ubuntu 8.04 form
    I don't know that it is running under the 9.04, after installing...

    and know that you manage a linux os! Windows drivers will not work in this system!
    (except with the envelopes, but only for the wlan drivers)

    and Yes, you can install ubuntu 8.04 and then load the drivers of grafics
    but not windows drivers! Take the 9.04 linux drivers

    If it's too much trouble to install the 9.04 and install your favorite app!

    Have fun!

    Bill

    Hello

    The key cannot be disabled.
    I guess that it s a malfunction simple keyboard.

    In the case where the external keyboard would work properly, the internal keyboard is no doubt affected and needs to be replaced.

  • Problem with keyboard on Satellite L500-128

    Hi all

    I'm having some problems with the keyboard on my Satellite L500-128 - essentially; 8, 9, i, o, k, l and comma and period keys do not work.

    All other keys are working perfectly fine (I use an external keyboard if people wonder!)

    I'm technically minded but I was wondering if its worth disassemble the laptop and have one eye or if someone has had this problem with this laptop before - or if someone has any ideas with what he could fix.

    I tried to do a reset of the laptop (battery and pressing power button) I reinstalled the operating system, but the keyboard still has problems in the BIOS too.

    Hello

    In my opinion and as suggested by Liam, it looks like a simple keyboard malfunction and to solve this problem, the keyboard needs to be replaced.

    The Toshiba service in your country partner could replace the defective
    Otherwise, you could try to replace it yourself, but if you are a beginner and if you have no experience, ask a support technician.

  • Strange problem with touchpad on Satellite L500-19Z

    I have an older one month by Satellite L500-19Z running on Windows 7 64 bit.
    While using it to edit photos, he began to behave strangely. It was as if someone was quickly down the left button of the mouse. I have been unable to leave any program or use the Start Menu to restart.

    After turning off the power supply and the battery, I started it in Mode without failure, but the problem was still there. If I flew over any icon that he raised the window several times. By disabling the touchpad through Fn + F9, I was able to use a graphics tablet to re - start and it works normally. I hesitate to use the recovery of the system or the recovery disks that I created when I bought it because of the number of third party programs that I would lose.

    Everyone knows the problem please? What should I do to activate the touchpad see if it works fine now?
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Can you turn the touchpad by pressing FN + F9 as usual?

    In your case I would also update the driver for the touchpad. You can download it here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    If an external mouse works but the touchpad is still problems, I think that you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. After that, you have the same settings as on the first day where you bought the laptop.

  • Satellite L500 - keyboard arrows using problems creates letters and numbers

    New laptop, Windows 7, 4 GB RAM, etc.

    Just restored to the State of factory again, but nothing helped.

    Whenever I have use arrows etc., makes the letters and numbers coming up, not on every key shot but on say every second. The pad also tends to spit out the wrong numbers so intermittently, in word, excellent and other programs. The correct keyboard is selected. The arrow towards the low tends to do the to come as the right arrow brought a up arrow to the left is and the up arrow seems ok.

    I'm stumped, any ideas?
    Thank you

    Hi whatnani,

    If you have already restored the laptop back to factory settings and checked the correct keyboard layout the case is clear, your keyboard is faulty and should be replaced by a new one.

    Satellite L500 is a fairly new model, so it must be covered by the warranty. Simply contact an authorized service provider and ask that:

    Good luck! :)

  • Re: Satellite L500-1XJ - changed keyboard

    Bought a Satellite L500 - 1XJ 32-bit with Windows 7 second hand from a friend.
    It worked perfectly until the Toshiba files were accidentally deleted.
    Cannot find it anywhere, so I guess they have been permanently deleted.

    I tried the restore without success.
    Also the keyboard is now mixed up IE for the @ I have to use shift 2 instead of travel "."

    What can I do?

    What Toshiba files do you mean exactly?
    Maybe Toshiba image files?

    With regard to the problem of keyboard layout:
    I guess that the language of the keyboard has been changed.

    Usually, you can add and change the keyboard language in:
    Panel-> clock, language and region-> region and language-> keyboards and languages-> change keyboards.

  • Satellite L500 - keyboard idle after the mode 'sleep'

    Satellite L500, Windows 7, keyboard become idle after waking up from his sleep. Restarting solves the problem.

    Help would be welcome please!

    Hey William,

    That s odd, but in my opinion you should try a BIOS update. BIOS version latest for your laptop, you can download from the Toshiba page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But let me give you a little advice: update of the BIOS is always a bit risky so make sure that you are logged on as administrator. In addition, extract all the files from zip archive and close all programs running (also AntiVirus).

    By the way: you use pre-installed Windows 7 in Toshiba or did you do your own installation of Windows?

  • Satellite L750D - issue strange keyboard/touchpad

    Hi guys, I'm new here and I hope you can help me.

    I have a Satellite L750D here who has a strange keyboard/touchpad issue.

    Recently, my screen was replaced and I toke the possibility of replacing the DD by a SDS.

    I used the OS restore cd that I created from the partition recovery and completely reinstalled Windows 7 64 - Bit ones.

    Everything seemed to work well after the last restart.

    Then my after reboot, the keyboard was not working and or the touchpad.
    I tried to restart / stop and start again, no change.

    I plugged a USB keyboard and mouse, both work perfectly.

    I reinstalled the drivers of touchpad on Toshiba site, still no change.

    Then, I closed the lid and leave Notepad go into sleepmode/setting standby extended and found that when I opened the lid/screen, the keyboard was working again, but not the touchpad.

    Fn + F9 made no difference.

    I then pressed the button above the touchpad, but the touchpad remained dead. But after pressing this button, the keyboard went dead too!
    The key for the touchpad power made no difference, the keyboard or the touchpad remained dead.

    Given zero made no difference either.

    Throw the drivers in safe mode led the pilots to be reinstalled, but both keyboard and the touchpad remained dead.

    The only thing to bring back the keyboard is the cover and goes sleepmode/setting to Hibernate and wake up to the laptop.

    But press the button above the keyboard and the touchpad is dead again.

    Started from a Windows 7-LIVE CD, both keyboard and the touchpad remained dead.
    Started from a live CD of Ubuntu Linux, keyboard works, no mather, you press the button for the touchpad, but the touchpad
    died.

    Is there anything else I can try, or what I have to assume there's something defect requiring hardware repair/replacement?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Kind regards
    Jan

    I plugged a USB keyboard and mouse, both work perfectly.

    It's really strange... from my point of view of the rare, the mouse and external keyboard works properly, then the controller should be OK, and this means that the anomaly must be linked to the defective keyboard / touchpad.

    But on the other hand, you said that the keyboard works correctly starting Linux Live CD.
    For me, it makes no sense and I'm confused...

    Anyway, given that the laptop has been disassembled to replace the screen and other parties, I think that something went wrong during this process and probably a part has been affected...

    In my opinion, it is advisable to replace the keyboard and to check if it will fix the problem.

  • Satellite L500-1XC - why my keyboard is acting funny?

    I have a Satellite L500-1XC. I reinstall my OS (Windows 7 64-bit) using HARD drive recovery option. But after I did it I have problems with my keyboard.
    When I turn on my laptop and start windows, it just automatically starts typing random continuous letter when I'm even not touching my keyboard. (for example, when I open an empty Notepad file it comes automatically types random letters). I guess it's a software problem.
    So please be kind enough to give me a solution for this. :)

    Hello Dylan

    Please install new OS using the HDD recovery procedure. If the same thing will happen again it must relate to defective hardware keyboard.

    What software should give order to keyboard to act on this way?

  • Satellite L500-164 - keyboard must change in English or Greek

    Hello

    I am a student in Germany now and I was thinking of buying the Satellite L500-164.
    The problem is, in all stores, you can buy it only with the German keyboard I completely hate.

    Is it possible to change it to an English (or Greek)?
    How much will it cost? How long will it take?
    I thought to buy directly from Toshiba, but they don't sell, so I guess I'm stuck with buying it and immediately send it to the service of change of keyboard?

    Y at - it stores that sell with English keyboard or can change on demand?

    Thank you very much

    > I thought to buy directly from Toshiba, but they don't sell, so I guess I'm stuck with buying it and immediately send it to the service of change of keyboard?
    Well, this will be a solution the other would be to buy a Satellite L500 to the United Kingdom to get a keyboard with English layout.

    You could try to order it from some online retailers. There are enough shops online that provides Toshiba laptops
