Tecra M10 - stuck - CTRL key question may be to do with the BIOS?

Hello and thanks for reading.

I recently changed my Tecra M10 to Windows 7 (from XP), and it quickly developed the dreaded question-button stuck CTRL This causes the keyboard behaves as if the CTRL key is pressed continuously. Sometimes reaching a key combination, or bring up the on-screen keyboard, temporarily solves the problem, but he returned.

It seems to be a problem that many people have no simple solution. I watched each thread that I find and tried a lot of things to do with drivers etc without success.

So first of all, if anyone knows a remedy that works for this particular machine, I would be very grateful to hear!

Then, there are two things that I did not yet: updating the BIOS and turn off pinch zoom.

I was watching the following BIOS update:

http://www.Toshiba-Asia.com/SG/support/drivers/details/25244

... which is the version 3.00 and seem to be more recent. My version is 1.90.

However, version 3.00 is labeled "for PTMB0 * ONLY. I don't know what that means or if it applies to me. Can anyone help? Should I install this BIOS?

For the pinch zoom, I was informed that disable sometimes cures the problem CTRL - but I can't find any installation zoom pinch on the M10. I think he doesn't have any one. Is this fair?

Thanks much for any help you can give.

Hello

> I was watching the next BIOS update. is the version 3.00, which seems to be most recent. My version is 1.90.

There are different Tecra M10 models on the market.
Check the labels at the bottom of the unit. There you should find numbers like for example PTMB0E-01K00LGR

The first 6 characters are important: for example PTMB0E

I guess that your laptop belongs to the series of Europeans.
In this case, you should check the page of the Toshiba UE driver for a possible update of the BIOS.
http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

However, on the page of the Toshiba UE driver you will also find the BIOS for all European units Tecra M10 v3.0.

Anyway, back to Ctrl + button question: guess what, you need to connect an external USB keyboard and must check how is the CTRL key.
In case the USB keyboard would work properly, the internal keyboard CTRL key is assigned and you will need to replace the internal keyboard.

PS: it would be possible that the "sticky keys" option has been activated. To disable this feature, you must press SHIFT 5 times in the line.

  • Why do I need to press the CTRL key to view my additional options in the tool Panel?

    strange!

    all of a sudden, I do not receive my additional tools in the toolbar (left) when I hit the black own in the lower corner on the right.

    It seems to be the same problem in my ALL programs in CS4.

    I thought he had a conflict with my system OS X 10.6.2.

    but after searching for days, I see additional options in the fly out menu become visible when I hold down the CTRL key and click the black own.

    no idea what happened here?

    My problem is, that I give with the software Toshiba guard easily a password to start with 9 letters: "cjbasdahl." For safty, I write again the password. I do and write again, 'cjbasdahl '. The computer accepts the password because the first password is the same how the second password.

    The fact is that the BIOS password can be removed only by the service of Toshiba.

  • Problems which may have to do with the touchpad

    HP G72 PC notebook model

    Windows 7 / 64-bit

    I am writing for my friend. She has terrible problems when she is in her e-mail program (Incredimail - paid version).

    It will hit and suddenly the words go jump and appear somewhere else on the page. His document starts printing out of the blue. I think she may rest his hands on the touchpad and that could be the cause. It does not use the touchpad. Can you tell me how to turn it off and then I'll try to explain to her.

    I don't know if I chose the right advice. I do not have a laptop so I'm fumbling around. Please help me if I can help it.

    Sorry that was me, I was going to post and then I changed my mind and accidentally hit the message button.

    If you go to the control panel and click mouse. In the title bar, you will see the Synaptics touchpad icon in red (device settings). A click on that and there will be an option to disable the touchpad.

    If you do this you may not not be able to return again, so I stopped.

    I tried on my small G61 and simply disables the touchpad and I could turn it back on with the small button above the touchpad. Your friend should also have a button somewhere near as well key to turn and the.

    Update bios to 1.40 VICTORY at end of January. Since the failure of keys F6 & F7 then to increase or decrease the brightness of the screen. Is it a coincidence or is that updating the bios the culprit! ??

    Hello

    Usually, the update of the BIOS shouldn't have a bad influence on the drivers of Toshiba and the performance of the operating system.
    There must be another reason the FN key down.

    Initially, I would say to reinstall the common modules. Please check if this will help.

  • Tecra M5: Are there special precautions with the Bios upgrade?

    Are there special precautions he takes while uprading BIOS. I'm just afraid because both failover system report people after the upgrade, is it true?

    Hello

    Of course you need a few special steps if you want to update the BIOS!
    The update of the BIOS is risky! If you use the bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure, you may damage the motherboard or module ROM BIOS!
    This is why you should always read the details of upgrading the BIOS before you start the update.

    Finally and above all many people update the BIOS without any reason. That s is really stupid.
    In my opinion you should not update anything if you have no problems!
    Therefore, never change a running system ;)

    You know the technical knowledge of Toshiba?

  • Had to crash my computer. Lost my recovery key. My iphone have paired with the previous installation. is it possible to recover the data?

    In order to upgrade my Windows xp computer to Windows 7, I lost access to firefox without thinking to generate a recovery key. Is it possible to recover my data?

    If the only thing you have coupled to the account is an iPhone response is that unfortunately not. Customer iPhone (Firefox Home) is just a 'consumer' of data Sync and can't do much.

    My best advice is to keep sync iPhone to access bookmarks and transfer it manually to your new profile.

    1. I think that the cookie comes from your other balancer load balancers of apache/WLS as simply use the JSESSIONID cookie.
    2. isolate-session-cookies-for-local-consumer does not change anything.

    1 - Dwlp.resource.proxy.servlet.block.response.headers = true is a good idea if you use resources (e.g. images).
