The laptop keyboard malfunction

Hi, the keyboard on my laptop is defective.  The screen swivels on its on.  The cursor move erradically and letters jumping around.

My wife comes to claim that the laptop works with a USB keboard, jump around, but the actual laptop keyboard is defective.  I have re-installed Windows Vista with data backup and it has not fixed the problem.

What remedy?  Can I completely erase the hard drive and reinstall without data backup...

The ability to rotate the screen image is a characteristic of your video
card, to help work with instructors who turn to the portrait
orientation. Almost certainly you accidentally press on Ctrl-Alt, and
an arrow key.
Rotate using these keys.

The cursor move erradically and letters jumping around.

No!

I can't be sure, but very likely problem is not the keyboard
malfunctions, but rather that she brushes accidentally his hand
against the touchpad while typing.

  • Equium A100 - malfunction of the laptop keyboard

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100 and when I press u on the keyboard on that I get 8u, when I I I ki, press o, I get lo, press press 2, I get w2. I checked the keyboard for defects on the cable to the motherboard, also shortcut keys off.

    I uninstalled the driver and then reinstalled it but no difference. I am running Windows XP Home SP3.

    I hope someone can shed some light on this problem.

    You bought the new keyboard and it solved the problem for a while.
    Well, in my opinion, there are two possibilities;
    You had a great misfortune and the new keyboard started to malfunction too, or there is something wrong with the keyboard on the mobo controller.

    But it's just my personal suggestion and if you want to know what's not exactly then you should ask a Toshiba ASP in your country for a control of the laptop.

    By the way; I hope that you use the latest version of the BIOS.

  • Help! Cola spilled on the laptop keyboard

    Help! Cola poured on ketboard to laptop

    This isn't something that the casual user should expect to be able to solve.  Someone knowledgeable about your brand and the computer model will have to demolish and clean completely out and the sooner the better as colas contain acid which will probably damage the computer any longer, they are allowed to stay on it.

  • The mouse doesn't click, keyboard malfunctions

    Any help with this issue? Sometimes the mouse not to slam or slider will allow to highlight items in the overview. CTRL + Alt + Del > Task Manager sometimes helps, but not all. The problem is persistent with touchpad and wireless mouse. Often, when the mouse starts working again, he clicks when you use the left button. Keyboard malfunctions sometimes (bad result when press a button - like Ctrl or Fn is held down, but not consistent). The problem is not persistent when you use a peripheral keyboard compared to the built-in the laptop keyboard. Computer will lag a little rarely. These problems started after some recent Windows updates and I started to use a hub of Toshiba with my laptop. Problems occur when it is connected to the hub and when it is not connected to the hub.

    Among the frequent errors in my event viewer:
    Your computer not was not assigned an address from the network (by the DHCP server) for the network card with network 0x88532E513AA7 address.  The following error occurred: 0 x 79. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the server network address (DHCP).

    Problem solving requires to determine the problem first.  This combined with your comments on the registry in your combined OP with your having cccleaner is all things related to my talking register corruption.  If you have run any sort of registry cleaner, or attempt any kind of editing the registry, which could possibly, but not necessarily, be at least part of the problem.

    You seem to have a lot of abnormal symptoms, so it is obvious that something in the billions of instructions in the windows of the system is not fair.  If after completing all of the things on my list of things, you have these problems, you're either going to have to find another way to find those needles in the billions of possibilities in a haystack or to restore your computer.  I would recommend you back up any data you don't want to not lose because as you often encounter the symptoms worsen over time.  If using the system restore does not work, you could end up having to restore your computer settings according to the instructions in your user guide (which should appear in your Start menu).

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. External hard drives 1 TB are about $80 these days and a very good FREE backup program is the Easeus todo backup free that you can download from
    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

  • laptop keyboard outputs incorrect strikes after unplugging the usb keyboard.

    I use a laptop Twinhead on which I plugged a Microsoft Natural keyboard for a while. Now when I did start, the laptop keyboard hit mixed-up and incorrect. I tried updating the driver, but it seems difficult that bing can't seem to get the - numbers - update. I noticed to form this forum that people have had a similar problem with connect a keyboard external usb. the solution was to press Fn + numberlock. It worked. Should I seriously to do forever when I use the keyboard of the laptop instead of a usb keyboard? There must be a good way to solve this problem, not a workaround solution.

    USB keyboard will automatically use a HID Driver and the driver disappears when I unplug it. The laptop keyboard still does not properly.

    I would probably uninstall the keyboard through Control Panel > system > hardware > device driver. Then right-click on the keyboard and uninstall it. Make a hard re-boot, then use the restore disc provided with most computers to re - install your keyboard.

  • Hello, please help me. I use a power keyboard for my laptop. I see in the new keyboard is equipped with a num lock key is turned on. I can't use on it please help me disable it. I do not use a NumLock on. Thank you

    Hello, please help me. I use a power keyboard for my laptop. I see in the new keyboard is equipped with a num lock key is turned on. I can't use on it please help me disable it. I do not use a NumLock on. Thank you

    You say that when you press the NUM LOCK key, the Numlock State does not change (if enabled to disabled and vice versa)?  Have you tried to unplug the keyboard and by ensuring that the keyboard of the laptop does not have enabled Numlock?  If so, turn it off on the laptop keyboard and reinsert the another keyboard and see if the problem is resolved.

    If you do not need the Numlock key, it can be disabled at startup with the following procedure:http://www.technipages.com/enabledisable-numlock-at-login-or-startup.html. Once this is done, I don't think he's going to turn on or off and that they the keyboard will start in the off position.  You will not be able to use the key yourself or another, but maybe the problem she is on (which is worse than it to be impossible to be turned on) will be resolved and I hope it will be enough for you.

    If the key does not work and you want to be able to use it, the keyboard may be defective.  Try the keyboard on another computer and see if you have the same problem.  If so, the keyboard is defective and must be replaced.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Toshiba laptop keyboard not working not properly

    Today my daughter was doing the work of the school on my old Toshiba laptop purchased in February 2012. It crashed at 12 Dec, Toshiba gave me the whole term on fixig so I had to have local difficulty. Even after it was fixed, it never was the same a awesome laptop turned into something of a child's play. Anyway, I gave this laptop to my daughter and bought another laptop. Once again, the Toshiba worked but was not until I had to do, was not quickly leave and the hard drive was not the same (once it has been repaired), but it was bearable for a child. Today, my daughter was of school work (or try) when she noticed problems with the keyboard. The buttons were working, but which has been pressed, wasn't showing on the screen. Example: If you press the W button, this indicates: 3/3/3/3/3 appears in the display. If you press the button, it appears:... (3) individual letters, numbers and random characters appear on the screen when you try to type. If you press BACKSPACE, it refreshes the page. I found an old office keyboard and ito the Toshiba is plugged and I am able to type without any problem, so I thought that it was a matter of device. I went to devices and printers, ran a bad shoot and got the following report:

    SM Bus controller is not a driver not installed
     
    Problems encountered:
    Unknown device is not a driver... Not fixed
    Apply the solution to the problem of driver... . Completed
    Install a driver for this device... done
     
    SM Bus controller doesn't have a driver... Not fixed
    Apply the solution to the problem of... completed pilot
    Install a driver for this device... Completed
     
    Problem with the PnP devices... Detected
     
    Potential problems that have been verified:
    Windows Update is configured to never install drivers... There is no question

    I tried to install a driver using Windows Update, but it was uncessful / could not detect a driver installed. Windows has suggested I go the manufacturer of my laptop to download a driver from this site. I'm on the Toshiba site now and after entering my serial number on this subject, they gave me a list of updates. I do not know which install beause they have two updates listed under keyboard, 10 listed under devices. I don't know which one I need to choose.

    When I first bouht the Toshiba it was Windows 7 (which came standard with all computers). The person who fixed installed Windows 7 Ultimate, if it helps. Can someone please advise on what is wrong with the laptop keyboard. The laptop was not great after it crashed / 'repaired', but he was able to do the basic functions

    Hello

    Sorry, but I don't see it as a software problem, despite the report of devices and printers.  I would say that time has caught up with your computer "crashed" (where the report of devices and printers).

    Are you able to type normally with an external keyboard, the "computer" went very well. The problem is with the keyboard and/or the original "repair" (which does not look like it completely solved the original problem).

    My suggestion would be to take it to a repair shop trust you, or your daughter use the external keyboard, or possibly to invest a few hundred dollars in a used cell phone, or...

    Keep me posted and let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

  • Keys on the keyboard of the laptop does not match the characters typed on the screen after having connected and disconnected the separate keyboard

    I have a Dell Vostro 1310 (laptop).  My laptop keyboard was working fine until I decided to plug in a keyboard separated from Dell on the USB port, just to give my fingers a break from typing on the small keys of the laptop and then unplugged the keyboard to the keyboard of the laptop again.  Now, when I type using the keys of the laptop, some keys produce different characters on the screen.  This is what happens:

    "uiop' became keys ' 456."
    "jkl;" become "-123"
    "m" becomes "0" and
    '0' becomes ' / '.

    I think it may have something to do with the left button "Fn" Blue right next to the 'Ctrl' key on the lower side of the portable keyboard, because characters that appear match the blue characters on these keys with a malfunction.

    Can someone tell me please how to get these keys again function normally and to prevent this from happening in the future?

    I found the answer on another forum on the Internet.  Press SHIFT + Num Lk to deactivate the mode of operation.

  • Compaq Presario CQ56: a problem with the computer keyboard laptop presario CQ56

    All keys (F) Act as the FN key is been held down when it is not. This just started today. I have a free prog called "keyboard test utility. Now, I have discovered that I can get 1 clean tap of F4 and the prog to test keyboard shows only illuminated F4. The next time I hit the letter (P) F4 and the Windows key are lit. Now, if I tap the FN key, and then press the F4 key. Again, F4 is the only 1 who turned on the prog of test. It's almost like the FN button nosed. I just to confirm. Rather than hold down the FN key to get things under the keys (F) (as a volume-, volume +, cut and so on). Now, I have to hold down the FN key to get the regular F1 to F12 keys. The rest of the keyboard is fine. A regular toggle switch or a switch in a radio push button. The FN key acts like someone ripped the wires to the back of the switch and reverse the wires and the switch can operate in reverse. Beats me how this can happen to a laptop keyboard.
