Tecra A4: F10 buttons flash, then the keyboard does not work

Dear Toshiba support,

After having traveled often with my laptop Toshiba Tecra A4, the F10 key flashes, some keys don't work and a pop-up said that you hold down CTRL when I'm not.

I don't know if the keyboard needs replacing or the card mother of m.
It's a laptop wonderful workaholic, if prefer to fix, but do not know if it is a repair of Office of the keyboard or the mother.

Everyone knows similar and can suggest a remedy?
All the tips and suggestions appreciated.

See you soon,.
Colin.

Hello

Have you tried to press CTRL once more to see if you can disable this?

To be honest it of not easy to say what might affect the functionality of the keyboard but it might be possible that the keyboard starts to failures

In this case it is sufficient to replace the keyboard.

But the fact is that it is only a hypothesis.
Maybe it's better to check the old s first keyboard (it's a work of technician) before buying a new.

  • Satellite A300D-126 the keyboard does not work

    I reinstalled the driver but it still does not. What could be the problem? Help please. Thank you

    Hello

    What s wrong exactly?
    You have reinstalled the drivers?
    What drivers do you mean?

    The keyboard driver is part of the Windows operating system and it cannot be reinstalled separately.

    If your keyboard doesn't work properly then either the software doesn't run as it should, or the material (keyboard) is defective.

    You could try reinstalling the operating system using the Toshiba HDD recovery to check whether the problem is related to the software.
    If the keyboard does not work after this procedure, then a hardware problem might be possible.

    Have you tried to unplug and plug the docking again?

  • Portege R100: the keyboard does not work

    I am facing a problem. My laptop keyboard does not work. How can I purchase a new Panel of key for this model, or how I can fix the problem.

    Hello

    I put t know what is wrong exactly with your keyboard, but I guess the keyboard needs to be replaced.
    To my knowledge the keyboard was fixed by 2 screws under the thin cover above the keyboard.
    You must remove the thin cover and then the 2 screws.
    Then, you will be able to set the keyboard.

    But be careful; the keyboard must be connected with the flat cable to the motherboard.

    Compatible keyboard, you can order from the Toshiba service partner in your country.

    I think it's because that material because the key does not work even without the key cover. Is it possible that I have demaged some buses on the baseboard of the keyboard?

    In addition, I can not open Apple Diagnostics, and while I turn on my macbook it produces sounds like that I am button constantly some.

  • Equium M50-235: the keyboard does not work after upgrde memory

    I just did an upgrade memory on my laptop using the second slot located under the keyboard.
    However, as I was putting the keyboard at the rear, the ribbon cable has pulled away from the motherboard and even if I pushed
    Reconnect and fixed with the clip, the keyboard no longer works.

    Is there a service manual I can get hold of someone know what could be the cause of the problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all, once you unscrew the keyboard, open the clip that secures it in place and reinstall the keyboard by ensuring that it is completely down. After that, now the flat cable in place, close the clip. Then, make sure that it is not lost and that it is seated correctly. Then turn on the laptop and see if it works. If this is not the case, try an external keyboard. If an external keyboard does not work, the keyboard on your MB controller is dead and you need a new MB. If an external keyboard works then your keyboard is dead, or the connector on the MB is dead. Best way to test is to try the first solution. If it doesn't work, take it to an ASP so they can try another keyboard for your laptop. Good luck.

  • After showing the keyboard does not work protected void paint (Graphics graphics)

    Hello

    I am facing a big problem. Need your help.

    I've implemented TouchEvent and VerticalFieldManager-> screen paint().

    TouchEvent works well. But the paint method is confusing after the virtual keyboard is displayed.

    My code is as follows:

    public MyScreen extends MainScreen {
    
        private VerticalFieldManager vfm = null;
    
        public MyScreen() {         super(MainScreen.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL);         vfm = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.USE_ALL_HEIGHT | Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH){              protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {                   //paint methods              }         };    }
    
         protected boolean touchEvent(TouchEvent event) {         if(!event.isValid()) {        return false;   }         if(//Check touch conditon) {               //Do something               return true;         } else {               return super.touchEvent(event);         }     }}

    Thanks for your reply. Guy.

    I found my bug. This problem is related new instance in my code.

    If the keyboard does not at the present time, it seems that the screen height is decreased by the height of the virtual keyboard. It must be calculated in your code.

  • A key on the keyboard does not work properly

    I have a problem with my keyboard:
    One button of the keyboard doesnâ? t working properly: I want to write a vowel with an accent (as in French and Spanisha? ¦), but if I press the button obtained, then the vowel, the vowel, and TWO dashes (a´a´) appear: a´a´i. normally, it should automatically be a focus on the top of the.

    I tried another keyboard, but Ca? s the same problem when I connect it to my laptop. I also tried to choose another language as the French and Spanish, where they have accents, but it still doesnâ? t work.

    It would be great if someone could help me.

    Thank you very much

    I agree with Weezle. In any case, I have no much experience with it, but I think that some symbols do not appear automatically if you close button only once. There must be something.

    Try to find some information on the pages of Microsoft. This question is not associated with Toshiba.

    Please, does anyone know how to open the computer and how disconect the keybord?
    Or maybe someone has another idea to solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance

    Laurent.

    Hello

    I m not very familiar with this laptop, but I think you have to remove a cover of detroit that is placed close to the display cover. There you should find the two screws that hold the keyboard.
    But if you're not 100% sure how to remove the keyboard, then you should ask the ASP for the detailed instructions.

  • Half of the keyboard does not work

    Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop. Windows XP

    On my laptop, the keyboard started to do funny things. First of all it would be bouble type a few letters. Then, almost half of these on the side right of the keyboard has stopped working. (Does not: 9.0,-, o, p, [, l,., /]) I installed two new keyboards (from two different vendors, however made by the same manufacturer in China), no change. The technician of Microsoft in India couldn't help either. Any suggestions?       Mike

    Hi Mike,.

    1. have you used a wired or wireless keyboard to check the question?

    2 are you able to use other usb devices?

    If you used a wired keyboard, then try to use a wireless keyboard and check if the problem occurs.

    You can also try to check the keyboard on the screen and if the problem persists.

  • HP dv7-3085dx power light flashes, but the laptop does not work.

    Hello! I have a HP Pavilion dv7-3085dx. It has a hard drive Bay 2.

    Recently, I bought the caddy + cable kit and an Intel SSD. The thing is, when I plug the sata cable to the motherboard for the laptop, and the SSD to it, the laptop does not light. When I press the power button, it flashes once (the power LED flashes once), but the laptop does not light. When I press again, nothing happens.

    I tried to remove the power supply plug, battery and plug it all again, but the power light flashes once (when you press the power button) and no reaction.

    Maybe it's the sata cable: when I remove the new cable and connect the SSD with the sata cable on the 1 hard drive Bay (the cable supplied with the notebook), it works fine. The laptop starts. And when I connect the former sata cable, with the SSD on the second hard drive Bay, it also works.

    I just want to now what is the flashing light means light? Why it does not work with the new cable?

    Thanks in advance! Sorry for my bad English...

    Emilio.

    It is possible that this is a problem with the kit. I would recommend to download and install the latest BIOS update for your laptop, using the download at the following link: http://goo.gl/rbHkg

    If it still doesn't work after that, I would recommend to suppress the kit for a replacement or to try another.
