Strange problem with keyboard Satellite A50 542

I had due to problems with my laptop from the time of the purchase in October 2004

The cursor moves on its own to another location
The "BOLD" mode appears from time to time on its own
The computer will go to another application on its own for example while typing an e-mail message, the computer will switch to the mailbox

Hello

Well. Have you tried to restore the system?
Please recover the operating system with the restore CD provided. If this problem persists, I suppose that it s a hardware malfunction. In this case, you must contact the service partner to change keyboard.

Best regards

  • Strange problem with my Satellite A200

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite A200-1DY.

    In the last two days, this occurs twice. When I start the laptop there are three icons, systray, speaker, battery and network icon, and then, the laptop stops and does not work. I can't use the mouse or keyboard and the cooler fan does not work.

    When I put my hand the area where it is the processor it is hot enough. I can't reset the laptop. At first I have to disconnect from the mains. After that I restart the laptop. The cooler fan starts very quickly and it removes a lot of heat from the CPU area.

    What can I do?
    Sorry for my horrible English and marry Christmas.

    Hello

    At first, I must say that your English is very good and understandable. Now after this compliment go back to the problem described. ;)

    I have too many Satellite A200 and I installed Vista and Windows XP Home edition, several times and never noticed a similar problem. I must say that all my tests were with the own operating system preinstalled.

    In your case, it is not easy to say why this happens, but it turns out that some process must be loaded and at this stage of the computer cell blocks. Usually, if you keep the Start button / stop for 5 seconds, book it should be OFF.

    You must understand that no one knows we what's your personal operating system configuration and if there are some applications you have installed the last days. Exact an application that runs in the background may not be loaded properly and blocks for laptop.

    What should do? You can enter MSCONFIG and check all entries of Systemstart. Try to disable all the stuff, you don't need and try it again. Maybe you will be lucky and find out if there is something that starting cell blocks.

    Sorry, but it's really not possible to say why this happen. If you want you can try to roll back the OS to an earlier time until it starts in the hope that the BONE will be work as before.

    Bye and good luck!

  • More strange problem with keyboard and mouse on Satellite 1900

    Clicking on files or folders, I wonder to confirm the deletion of the clicked elements. The "Left shift" is interpreted as a backspace. I was afraid of a virus; but no viruses or spyware are present. I reformatted and reinstalled evrything; the problem persists. Everyone has known and resolved this strange problem.
    Thank you for the help.

    Hello

    It's very strange. Unfortunately I have no precise explanation. I suggest you check this with external keyboard to see if the keyboard is not defective.

    Usually, if the function FN + F10 or FN + F11 is enabled if the function FN key are locked and you can use the small gray panels on the keys without pressing the FN key.

    > Somehow when I put a CD in my player... He slip in my computer, but not in the drive and I can not find.

    You mean the disc is located inside the laptop and you can't find or remove it?
    I don't know how you managed to do something like that, but I think you need a help of a technician for laptop that I highly recommend contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

  • Satellite L555 - 11 L - problem with keyboard

    Hello!

    I have a keyboard problem with my SATELLITE L555 - 11L. I noticed the first week after I bought it, so I think he's always been there.

    Description of the problem:

    It's as if some characters were swallowed, fairly regularly. It is not a specific key, it can happen on any character, about all 20 characters. Sometimes, on the contrary, some letters are doubled.
    It happens when I write fast. And this isn't always but: when I just plugged in my computer, it works fine. It seems that this happens after having been plugged in for a while. But I was not able to assess this 'time '. Sometimes, it is quite short (2 hours).
    If I keep a key pressed (all), the characters do not commonly appear on-screen. There are regular "jerks" (each 20 characters? I can't really measure).
    This is a very annoying problem, it annoys me when I write an email, that I often...

    What I tried:

    -It happens in every text field (Notepad, in a text box in IE, Firefox and Chrome, in MSN, etc...)
    -I am on WIndows 7. I tried on a CD bootable Linux (Ubuntu), the same problem appears
    -J' tried to write with an external USB keyboard: I do not reproduce the problem
    -with or without battery: same problem
    -J' I updated my BIOS with the update that is available on your site web (from 2010.03.12 if I remember correctly), but it changed nothing.

    I wrote my problem in a forum format hardware. Only one seems to have the same problem as mine. He returned to his PC to Toshiba, they changed the keyboard, but the problem is still there.

    I would like to know if this is a known issue and if you have suggestions of everything I could try before you contact Toshiba and let my precious computer for several weeks... (with the risk that it may return to the same State :().

    Thanks in advance!

    Helen.

    Hello

    I read in some forums on the same keyboard problem.
    Some characters were not displayed when you type faster
    I read that an update of the BIOS has helped a lot of guys has disabled the touchpad too and this has improved the performance of keyboard

    So I recommend you try it.

  • I have a strange problem with my RAM supported by installers. When I check the activity monitor, 3 installers are open and they start around 80 MB memory RAM used for about 7 or 10:08 minutes or so.

    I have a strange problem with my RAM supported by installers. When I check the activity monitor, 3 installers are open and they start around 80 MB memory RAM used for about 7 or 8 concerts after 10 minutes. I have to force them to quit, but I don't know what I am closing or why they open in the first place. Applications downloaded on iTunes?

    In addition, the Console has opened with the same message several times, but I don't know what that means.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    The last is a picture of the Terminal window.

    Just because it lists 'Console' does not mean that it has nothing to do with this application.

    You have not said why or what you're trying to install so I can't help with that.

    You can use the activity monitor to leave their.

    After you select an item, use the X in a type of stop sign icon and confirm force quit.

  • Satellite A50 542: lines on the screen

    I have a Satellite A50 542.

    I turned on and all I have in front of me are a load of lines, cannot see through them.

    Anyone can suggest a remedy or solution?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Don't you see the same direction on the external monitor?
    If Yes, then the graphics card may be affected which means you need to replace the motherboard.

    If the lines are visible only on the internal screen, then the screen itself may be faulty.

    Have you tried to reinstall the display driver?

    Hi Eltgen

    Sorry, but it is not easy to tell what the problem is on that path. If I understand you well you have built in a new floppy drive, because the old one was faulty. Am I wrong?

    It will be interesting to know is the new part already used. Perhaps is the new one also defective. I hope that a little light is on if you put the disc inside.

  • Problem with my Satellite C650D - 10 d of charge

    I have some problems with my Satellite C650D - 10 d and its battery.

    Indeed, when I want to reload my computer, it will no more, charge his battery to 99%, then it says "Blocked, not supported" and the corresponding light is off instead of orange or yellow-green.

    Then, after using my computer on battery, if I want to load, plug is not enough, I must remove my battery and replace. Charges of battery, 99%, once again.

    The problem is recurring and I don't know what to do anymore. I tried to get an empty using the BIOS battery (because Windows 7 turns off the computer when the battery is at least 5%), to see if there was a problem of calibration of the battery, but this isn't the case, and my problem is still the same.

    Hope you can help me ;)

    I recommend the update to the BIOS.

    Not sure if the solution in your case, but I read in some discussions that the BIOS update could solve battery problems.

    Otherwise if the BIOS does not help, then you should check if the new battery could be the solution.
