• Strange keyboard on Satellite M211 problem

  Hello!

  I'm Belgian and my English is not perfect, then, first of all I would like to apologize for this.

  I have a Satellite M211 of China (QWERTY keyboard) and I don't know what happened, but yesterday when I'm on to use it, I discovered that the keyboard has completely changed (when I type '9' are '39' coming, when I hit 8 here "87" to come,...), all the keys have changed and it is impossible for me to use the keyboard.

  I noticed that there was a light under the 'F10', and it was new, as when the keyboard is normal this light won t.
  So I want to know how can I solve this problem of keyboard and turn off the light (I already try to 'Fn' 'F10', this does not work).

  Thank you

  I don't know how it works on the Chinese notebook models but you try using FN + F10 or maybe FN + F11. It is important to disable this LED and a built-in keyboard.

  When activated, the keys with the grey wire marking on their lower edge are either pad keys (FN + F11) or the keys (FN + F10) slider control.

• Satellite M40 - problem USB

  Hello

  I am the owner of a Satellite M40-129 and it seems, I have problems with USB.

  When I stopped the WinXP system, I think that it is in English, hibernate mode and try to restart, I get a blue screen with the text and with a failure message, the file "usbport.sys" caused the crash.
  In addition, I use all three usb ports. On, I use a USB 2.0 on the other Hub usb hub 1.1 and the mouse directly on the third port. Since a few days, I installed a printer multifunction Brother on the USB 2.0 hub, but from the beginning of the system, I can't connect to the internet, because I always get a new failure message, that the (Allied Telesyn AT AR215) DSL modem is already in use or another usb device is improperly installed. To solve the problem, I tried almost all the positions of USB port for both devices and I de - and reinstalled the two train several times. But in addition, I have updated the BIOS yesterday, but without success. No, I use either only the internet with disconneted printer or the printer does not have access to the internet until you restart without connected printer.

  I hope someone can help.
  Thank you

  HI Thomas

  Sorry, but it is not easy to give you a good explanation. As far as I know a few other components materials don t support hibernation procedure. The problem is that if the unit goes into hibernation mode every process must be stopped and some of them cannot be stopped on the easy way and stop correctly but forced to shut down. I'm sure that your device goes into hibernation correctly mode if there is no external device. Am I wrong?

  Try to remove all external devices and after that, go to the Device Manager. Remove the USB ports and restart the device. After a reboot all components will be recognized and installed correctly. Check if the modem works correctly if there are no other USB devices connected to the laptop.

• A key on keyboard on Satellite L100 problem

  Bought my L100 Satellite in July last year. Problem is that I need a lot more pressure to press the key 'a' all the others. How can I fix?

  Can I get the keyboard to check why it is almost blocked? I had no problem when I bought this laptop.

  If you remove all of the keyboard you will lose the warranty and I would not risk the guarantee because of the unique keyboard key.

  But you can remove the unique key of the keyboard Plug and check if there is dirt or something else with a bad influence for the key mechanism.

  For a replacement keyboard, you will need to contact the service partner in your country? ¦

• Keyboard on Satellite A200 problem

  Hi, while hoping a bit of insight into what the problem may be with my Satellite A200.

  It started with one single key works does not, then one other has stopped working. Then I would press a key, but it would come with a different letter on the screen. Then it got really bad, I couldn't use the keyboard at all because of the random letters would seem I typed, eventually escalating to the point where letters would appear constantly on the screen when the keyboard has not been affected.

  Tried to uninstall and reinstall driver, did not help. Tried a usb keyboard which was great until tonight. Usb keyboard or the laptop keyboard are working when tapped, yet sometimes random letters appear on the screen.

  I was ready to replace the keyboard if it was just a problem of keyboard, but now I'm wondering if it might be the motherboard. Everyone knows the same or similar problem?

  Nothing has been spilled on the keyboard.

  Thanks for your help.

  It's very confusing when the keyboard USB doesn t work too. At first, I thought faulty keyboard, it must be, but I'm afraid there is a serious hardware problem and I don't think you can fix it alone.

  I recommend you contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

• Keyboard on Satellite L730 problems

  Hi guys need some advice on how to tackle this problem... I'm not that old L730, my cat sitting on the keyboard and now sometimes I have to press certain keys twice (not all keys including those) to operate... it is when it happens, I restart the laptop and its fine, but next time I have restart his went back to being a pain ,
  I noticed that my language settings have changed since the English Australia (US) on the United States in English (US)... would this be causing the problem.

  By the way, have replaced the keyboard... ran scans as its no fun and updated all the drivers... This laptop is clean as a whistle, so to speak...

  Thanks for any help you can provide...

  > I noticed that my language settings have changed since the English Australia (US) on the United States in English (US)... would this be causing the problem.

  I don t think that this could provoke the question because the keyboard language settings would only change the keyboard layout.
  However, if you want to you can go back to the previous language.

  Microsoft has released beautiful instruction how to change these settings:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/258824/en-us

  But as I said above, it doesn't look like the problem was related to this setting.
  There is probably a hardware keyboard problem and you need to replace the keyboard in order to get the buttons working properly.

• Strange screen on Satellite L300 problem

  I have a laptop Satellite L300. Lower third of the screen is gray and the right side of the bottom has third vertical lines of color similar to a bar code on a supermarket product.

  If possible, connect your laptop to external monitor or a television to see if the same appears here.

  If so, this is caused by a faulty graphics card. If not that cell phone s display defective and must be replaced.

• Satellite M40-223: behavior strange keyboard

  Hi, I have a problem with my laptop M40-223. Sometimes it happens that the keyboard goes completely crazy, you can't write anything, or just a few letters and all the system becomes unstable and I have to reset (sometimes several times). I don't really know what to do, the system is clean of spyware/malaware, suggestions?

  Thank you in advance,

  Are you sure it s only a problem of keyboard and not a corrupted Windows OS?
  The hardware malfunction keyboard is possible that something similar happened on my laptop s a friend. The whole notebook was not accessible because the mouse cursor has jumped on the screen and it was possible to do something
  Finally, EPA has replaced the entire keyboard and solved this problem

  I m not 100% sure if your keyboard is faulty. I think that the new installation of operating system recovery CD is necessary to ensure that it is a hardware or software problem.

  If the same will appear after using the recovery CD then it s definitely a hardware problem and the part must be replaced!

• Satellite M40-185: fake keyboard settings

  I had to format my laptop (satellite m40-185) and then I install Win Xp sp2. I did not use the recovery CD because I have lost: (.) I download and install the proper drivers and the only problem I have is with the keyboard. Some buttons are not in the right order.

  For example I press shift + 2 must type, put in place there type @. Anyone knows it I can find the appropriate drivers for this problem?

  Your keyboard is set to the United States. If you go to the control panel (keyboard), you should be able to change that for the United Kingdom.

• 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.

• Vista on Satellite M40 - 285-> is there any problem?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M40-285, my wish is to install Vista on it, I know about pcmcia issues that lock boot Vista and solve their pcmcia.sys file renaming, but this does not solve the problem really, pcmcia slot and card reader didn't work.

  So I would like to know if Toshiba will launch a driver for Vista, or, everyone has solved this problem with any tip where Vista starts normally and pcmcia works fine?

  Thank you
  Kind regards.

  Toshiba M40 satellite will certainly not throw all Vista drivers or tools. This device is not Vista capable and there is no support for Vista. If you want to test with Vista create the second partition and try to install Vista on it. I did the same thing on my Vista not supported by Satellite M70.

• PCMCIA.sys problem with Vista on Satellite M40 135

  Hello

  (Sorry for my English)
  I tried to install Windows Vista on my Satellite M40-135. (I added the 512 MB of RAM).

  But, like all users, I have the problem with pcmcia.sys. Vista starts successfully when I delete the pcmcia.sys file.
  But I have a problem: I have a PCMCIA TV and I could not use it without the pcmcia.sys file...

  So I was wondering if Toshiba will download the new drivers for Windows Vista... This laptop is 'Vista capable' according to Microsoft System requirements...

  Waiting for your help...

  Unfortunately, it seems that the snipe is right.
  Can the hardware specifications of this laptop allows you to install the Vista
  but it seems that Toshiba has decided to publish no Vista drivers for each series laptop.

  In order to check this document:

  Not seem that your laptop series is not part of the list

• Problem starting Satellite M40 - windows didn't start up properly

  Satellite M40 running XP Home, an 80 GB HD, 2 partitions, (System on C:, data on D :)

  During bootup, current sector has been disconnected (no battery in the laptop). When I try to start it again, go to the screen (sorry for the "mixed-language french English"...) «windows didn't start properly... Please select 'safe mode', "safe mode with LAN enabled", "BACK Safe Mode", 'last known good configuration' or 'normal startup' (I'm simplifying the content of the screen...).»

  Regardless of the choice that I do, XP starts to run, then I get a blue screen flashes briefly (too fast to be able to read what whatsoever) and the process begins again.

  I can access the BIOS and were able to boot from a CD.
  Thank you anyone give me some guidance as to the possible problem (as well as a possible solution that could avoid having to completely restore the system and... to reinstall all apps)

  Hello

  Seems the BSOD appears and the laptop operating system cannot start as should!
  The BSOD appears especially because of the hardware or software serious malfunction.
  First we need to find if its hardware or software related problem.

  Installation simply from the recovery CD is a simpler way to find out what could be wrong
  You must format the first partition C, where the old operating system has been installed and install the new OS on the C.

• Satellite M40 Wireless 2200BG card: WEP problems?

  I have a satellite M40 with an INTEL Pro/wireless 2200BG Network card.
  I use a wireless LAN via a router. the connection is broken down into periods of time, sometimes for 2 seconds, sometimes half an hour. my phone says company technical support, it is perhaps due to the incompatibility of my network wireless adapter WEP. I use a WEP key/128 bit / hexadecimal... could someone please give me a tip how to configure my WiFi card so that it works continuously.
  I already thank you for any help!

  Hello

  I read a few topics that have been discussed in this similar subject forum with a BG 2200 wireless card and it seems that a new wireless driver update could solve this problem. I recommend to download the driver from the Intel site and install it.
