Tecra A10 is missing a few key press detection

Hi all

I have a strange problem for a long time, which is annoying me.

My Tecra almost since I bought it have some problems especially to character keys keys detection '' and ~. However the problem never happens with the two keys at the same time.
My first assumption was that I was garbage under the key, I tried to clean it up and tried again; the problem persisted.

My second attempt was to restart the PC, and surprisingly, it worked. The conclusion is quite clear, is not a dirty keyboard, the problem is something else, but I have no idea how to solve.

Is there someone else with a similar problem? Does anyone have an idea to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Have you tried an external USB keyboard?
I guess that if the buttons would work correctly using an external keyboard, the problem is related to the breakdown of internal keyboard
In this case, replace the internal keyboard.

  • Re: Tecra A10 - 18 M - writes a key without pressing again and again

    Hi all

    I have the laptop Tecra A10 - 18M.
    The OS is Ubuntu 10.04, but the problem also occurs with Windows XP.

    I have problems with my keyboard. From time to time (once a day), a single character (r) written without pressing the key.

    When I press "r" key nothing happen. When I write a digit (1-9) or around the 'r' key (e, f, t,...) he began writing of many 'r' again and again.
    This stops by pressing the keys on the keyboard with the flat hand and a bit of strength.

    I think that there is a broken cable?
    Someone has a similar problem?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    Sounds like a keyboard or keyboard cable malfunction...

    But just to be sure: did you notice the same problems with external keyboard?

  • Tecra A10 - pad touch and the keys do not work on Windows 7 x 64

    We have recently done a new install of Windows 7 x 64 on a Toshiba Tecra A10.
    The operating system has taken over most of the drivers, we had to install drivers for the card reader ourselves.

    Our problem is that the touchpad and the buttons work at all.
    The driver displayed in devices such as manager being installed, but that's all. I even installed the control panel of the Alps (Vista x 64) which works very well.
    Have tried the settings "stick and touchpad are automatically invalidated" when you use an external USB mouse, all to nothing done.

    The equipment worked perfectly okay with Windows 7 32 bit installed.

    Is there a fix here?

    Hello

    Maybe it of just a driver issue, I checked the downloads available for Tecra A10 on page of Toshiba and Windows 7 32 bit there is a newer driver available for Windows 7 64 bits do not (no driver). If you use the Vista 64 bit driver

    What you can do is to test the driver for the touchpad for Tecra A11. There is a version more recent for Windows 7 64 bit of Alps Electric so correct. Touchpad driver is not linked so I sure it will also work on your model of m.

    Take a look at the Web of Toshiba Tecra A11 driver site:

  • I missed the SHIFT key and press several keys in the lower corner of my keyboard LH. Firefox split up into several iterations, and I had to reboot.

    I missed the SHIFT key and press several buttons in the lower left corner of my keyboard. Firefox has lost the tab that I was using and divided into a separate iteration for each other (plus two I had closed). I could not recover and had to close all but one of them and restore all my tabs.

    What I had done and how I should have recovered?

    First, you need to update to Firefox 18.0.1 Firefox updated to the latest version. The version you are on is bug and little course.

    Second, it looks like you may have entered groups of tabs. Use tab groups to organize a large number of tabs is that look familiar?

  • Tecra A10 - left key of the mouse on the touchpad is "locked".

    Dear forum
    Left click Mouse touchpad is a little distorted. I had a peek inside the palmrest, and there is a white plastic stand thing that broke. It seems to happen this way with a large number of these particular models. Please do you know is there a repair or the thing below available to replace the broken white plastic and if necessary

    How much does it cost?
    All the other tecra a10 users have the same problem with this model.

    Broken parts must be replaced. Result s and in the case where the guarantee is valid, should be set the laptop for free. Otherwise, you will need to pay for the repair of laptop

  • Tecra A10 - refurbished - cannot get it connected to my home network

    I just got this Tecra A10-104 refurbished Laptop... before I take this back I ask here in case where theres something I missed as I am unable to get it connected to my home network.

    I use a Belkin wireless router that has 2 main (LAN) directly connected PC and another PC connected wireless.
    It's my router: http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=9238&scid=0

    All PC connected and fine work.
    Now I'm setting up this laptop to connect.

    I uninstalled the Vista Business and ussed the product recovery disc that came with the Tecra XP Pro.

    Is my wireless card: Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 5100 (pilot Date: 27/04/2008 - the driver Version: 12.0.0.73)

    He sees the network, but no matter what I try just does not connect.

    What I've done so far (read before suggesting things I've already tried):

    Reconfigured routers WPS to the shared key system.

    Ensured that the wireless adapter's parameters defined at 20 / 40 Hz (automatic)

    Restarted the router, cable modem & laptop several times

    Laptop wireless button is turned on.

    FN + F8 to activate BLUETOOTH WIFI (ON) (OFF)

    Wireless network added to settings Auto Connect with the end SSID and password encryption method.

    Click on connect when network appear in the revamped network and Password Viewer dialog.

    Does not.

    I would add that the laptop has no problem connecting via its Gigabit LAN port.

    Something else I'm missing?

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: Double post deleted.

    UPDATE:

    The next thing I tried was to reinstall Vista Professional recovery disk to see if it has suffered from the same problem.

    Wireless has worked under Vista, and despite the updates I was offered, worked without having to update all the drivers.

    This got me thinking... so the question is probably DRIVER XP related.
    What I've done now is to back up all the updates driver told me to download TEMPRO (BIOS & Manager wireless updates included).

    I think part of the problem is that only TEMPRO works under Vista (not XP) so you are not informed of any updates may be required if you upgrade to XP directly after the purchase (which is what I did).

  • Cannot restore my Tecra A10 from recovery disc

    Hello

    I'm having a problem restoring my C disk from a disk image. The Toshiba HARD drive recovery utility seems to have disappeared from my computer.
    When I followed the instructions for restoring (be it by pressing 0, or F8 during startup to access the HARD drive recovery utility) I finally get a message saying

    "The creation of means of recovery is impossibe! File recovery HARD drive on the second disc of the first hard drive not found. There is no valid disk HARD recovery environment on this computer. »

    (I get a similar message if I try to open the Toshiba recovery disc creator in the start menu)

    Because this does not work, I tried using recovery discs that I have made previously using the same utility. I insert the disk and start the computer (according to instructions), but nothing happens and it starts Windows normally. How can I use these discs?

    My laptop is a Tecra A10 16 d Windows vista professional.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks

    As much as I know saved on HARD drive recovery image can't disappear. I guess you did a few exchanges of structure of HARD drive and now recorded image is not found by the wizard of HARD drive recovery or Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. Both of these tools know where to look for it, but if they do not find specific markers you will get this message.

    Now the only option for you is the use of recovery disks.
    Do you use this disk for the first time now?
    When you check the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer you will see the content?

    Then try to boot using the created disc. Start Notepad, and then press F12. When the boot menu appears on the screen, place the disc in the ODD, choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER.

    What happens when you do this?

  • Tecra A10 with replicator - no output to the DVI port but analog works very well

    Hi all. It's driving me crazy. Brand new Tecra A10 with a nine port replicator and a new external LCD. When I plug them all in all and connect to the screen using the blue/analog/d-sub cable, the image on the screen of the laptop automatically turns on the external screen when the A10 is docked. But when the external display is connected with the white/digital/DVI cable, the Tecra and/or the Replicator is auto-switch the output to the external screen.

    In addition, when you press Fn + F5 to switch the LCD only to LCD + CRT or CRT output only, the Tecra is so "smart" as to "realize" there is no screen, and it switches the output to only the Tecra.

    Now, we would put in place with the blue/analog/d-sub cable, but the picture is wavey and not satisfactory at all.

    Just so we're clear - when the display is plugged into another computer, there is a beautiful clear picture on/through the white/digital/DVI cable, so I don't think it's screen.

    Can anyone help with this please? Is the Replicator defective? Or am I missing something?

    Thank you very much

    As the portable Akuma (graphics card) does not have a DVI output.

    If you use the VGA cable, but image quality should not be worse as with the DVI cable.
    Choose the display resolution higher than the monitor supports and 60 Hz.

  • Re: Tecra A10 - 11J - display rotates 90 degrees if I open a game

    Whenever I open a game, my screen rotates 90 degrees to the right. I have no ideea how to fix this problem.
    I have the graphics driver. My laptop is a Toshiba Tecra A10 - 11J.

    Please help me, I've read a lot about this but nothing useful.
    Thank you for your time.

    Your laptop uses Intel graphics card and pressing the combination of some keys you could rotate the screen to another position.

    As I m not wrong no you can use this key combination
    Turn to normal-> press CTRL + ALT + TOP of the buttons
    90 degree rotation->, press CTRL + ALT + LEFT.

    and so on.

    You can also check this in Control Panel-> Intel Graphic Media Accelerator

  • Tecra A10 does'nt recognize 2nd HARD drive in the Bay of the STRANGE

    Hello

    My TECRA A10 - 1 HG PTSB1E does'nt recognize my second HDD that has taken the place of the cd-rom.
    I use a SATA caddy and the boot of the A10 with a CD-rom error!
    is it not possible to use a shopping cart with a TECRA A10?
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you for your experience of return.
    Best regards

    Hello

    I guess that the Tecra A10 does not support these updates.
    The 2nd SATA controller does not seem to support the additional HDD instead of ODD.

    But I've read a few things to get such2nd as recognized HARD drive.
    You must start the laptop without the HARD drive caddy in ODD Bay.
    After that the Windows system has started, you can plug/connect the HARD drive caddy and system PnP service should recognize the new device.

    I think this isn't the best solution, but it seems like it s the only way to get this HDD caddy recognized in the Bay of the STRANGE

    Toshiba has also include a Java Runtime Environment 2 package which I intend to replace it with a JSE 7. I would like to know in what order it should be installed?

    In addition, after installing XP SP3 there are still hundreds of Windows updates to apply these updates to Windows must be installed directly after installation of XP SP3 or drivers Toshiba?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    See you soon

    Post edited by: ebouge

    Java Runtime Environment 2 package can be installed after the installation of all the current drivers and substantial tools Java Runtime Environment isn t, if it to install other drivers and tools and so it s not very important when the package would be installed.

    You must install all updates of Win XP after installing Toshiba drivers and utilities.
    During the installation of the update, the laptop must be restarted several times and the whole process could take a while

    However, from my point of few, Win XP isn't the best choice now since Microsoft only provides no support for this system now

    Hello

    You won't find that everything disassemble manuals on the pages of Toshiba.
    You can find manuals the user only for models of simple laptops that are provided for ordinary users.

    I guess you will need to search on the internet for some details how to disassemble the Tecra A10.
    Use google and search + Tecra A10 irisvista +.
    Then you should get a few hits on Tecra A10 disassembly

    At first, I must say that Toshiba recovery image created separately for each laptop model and it is 100% created to work on the specific model. Why?
    Each laptop model has different hardware platform and all the drivers, tools and utilities for some models are part of the recovery image. These recovery images are also tested.

    Generally if the two models have the same hardware platform (hardware) it can be used.

  • Boot Linux on Tecra A10 SD

    Hi, I have a fairly new Tecra A10 running Vista. I would use a SD card (SDHC, ideally) to boot Ubuntu/XUbuntu.

    I can do the Linux work from a USB startup key, but can't seem to work on the SD card. the methods that I used for the USB (taken from the site PenLinux) do not seem to transfer.

    At the start of the machine, I use F12 and try the option to boot disk/SD or USB port, or causes my boot SD card.

    I guess I have to do something with the "SD Boot Utility" to force the card to look like a floppy disk. But I don't have the slightest idea how to do it.

    Any thoughts?

    ; Nigel.

    I am wanting to do exactly the same thing with a nice shiny new Portege R500. I installed 'successfully' Ubuntu 8.10 on my 8 GB SDHC card (it has detected, partitioned correctly etc.). I put the bootstrapper on the map, I thought it would be able to see that, as partition bootable, but it did not work at all.

    I considered if I have to install the bootloader on the physical hard disk, but do not know if it will help (i.e. put something in pointing to/dev/mmcsd hd0 (or whatever it was called).

    Assistance (we two) would be greatly appreciated! I'm sure that it's possible it's I have to be. I also had same experience, that Linux would boot 100% AOK off a USB key, but it would just do nothing on the SD card.

    Thanks in advance.
