The commands on the keyboard do not work

I'm really lost on this one. The keyboard controls function not unless the menu bar is selected.

For example: by pressing cmd + t has no effect on its own, but if I press the menu bar with my mouse first (any column, as long as it is selected), then the keypad of works.

To clarify: it is not that I have to press the specific menu for the command bar icon works. It's that I need to have the menu bar selected first so that the controls work.

It's only a problem with Safari.

Please disable all extensions Safari and test. If the problem is resolved, re - activate the extensions one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Sam 5005-S504: unit PIF and the keyboard does not work

    I wrote a little water on the keyboard and now the PIF to computer when you are connected to Windows and the keyboard don't work (except F1 to F12). The touchpad works very well.
    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.

  • MacBook pro a key on the keyboard does not work

    Hello

    Last day I was cleaning my keyboard (I do not used any water or liquid), and when I handed the keys, I found that my 'enter' key does not work.

    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.

  • 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.
