The use of symbols on the right keyboard on Satellite A300?

I have recently purchesed a Toshiba Satellite A300.
The details of the system are as follows:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5850 2.16 GHz GHZ 2.17
Operating system: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit.
Memory Ram: 3.00 GB.

Anywho, it costs 879 Euro + shipping and handling. The problem is the keyboard. The keyboard language is set to English (United States). For who knows what reason, some of the keys are not their symbol/function/number designed.

For example, in order to make the symbol "@" I have to use the sequence of corresponding keys SHIFT + ','
But when I press SHIFT + 2 I get "
I can't understand why, but I can not even operate. A large number of keys are out of whack. I have not hit what, I only got it more than a week. It cost me a lot, and I can't seem to find support. I got a technician to look at it, but he was unable to understand.

I tried holding SHIFT ALTGR and pressing INSERT and everything but nothing helps.

Please, I need to understand how can I ressolve this problem, I can't access one of my email accounts, because I can't understand what is wrong with the keyboard.

my email address is [email protected]

Hello

The solution is simple. You need to change the keyboard to English UK language.

  • Pavilion 17-f115dx: could not find the right keyboard

    Liquid spilled into the laptop.  Now the keyboard does not work.  In addition, the screen never turns off.  The keyboard seems to be part of the complete top as well as the touch pad.  Every keyboard I find seems to be just the keyboard.  I tried to use the HP PartSurfer, but it shows about 20 different keyboards. Can someone help me find the right part?  I'll worry later about the screen.  Thanks in advance.

So hot that the left hand starts to the sweltering heat and work with the laptop is very clumsy. It's hotter than directly above the truck on the right side.

    Hello Jochen

    I don't have this camera, but I guess on this disk space HARD is placed and it's because of the HARD disk activity. It is true of my camera, but I can leave with her because I use my laptop with external TFT and external keyboard.

    Like I said this is probably because of the HARD disk activity and you can try to change the HARD drive power settings in the power management.

  • Install the new keyboard in Satellite A100 laptop computer

    Recently, we have removed the keyboard on my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100 to clean as some of the keys were sticking.

    After you find the instructions to do this, it was easy enough to remove. Rinse us the keyboard with clear water and made sure that it is completely dry before reinstalling it.
    Now only some keys work about 3 on each line on the right side. Fortunately, enough to have another exact keyboard of an older A70, we have tried to install this one in the place and the same thing, only a few keys on the right side of work.

    We hung a desktop mouse and wireless keyboard and all the keys work fine. No idea why will work only a few keys with two keyboards of laptpp and how do I fix this? Thank you

    Hello

    I m not very well why some keyboard keys work and some don't work properly but if the flat cable that connects the keyboard and the jury has been plugged in properly then you can see this question as if the cable is loose, then you will notice the same problems

    If you are sure that the keyboard and cable are correct, there is a great chance that the malfunction of the card system to 100%

  • Where can I get the right drivers for Satellite Z930 - PT23LA - 01 009?

    A little history: I recently bought a version of Win7 to a Z930 in Auckland from PB Tech shop. I've updated to a clean version of Win8 64-bit. My Win8 seems works ok but I noticed something strange in the Toshiba PC Health Monitor - apparently the Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert is not installed, so I don't understand not his iconic display in the health monitor (but the health monitor think my SSD is in "Good" shape - maybe it's reading the INTELLIGENT of my SSD interface, or maybe it's just saying 'Good' because the integrity monitor is apparently able to operate?)

    I can easily find different versions of the Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert Utility in questionable Web sites - download, but I really prefer to get my Toshiba support drivers. Which leads to my question:

    Where can I get the right drivers for PT23LA-01 009? NZ nor the webarea to Toshiba support have this model in their menus. The closest match seems to be

    http://www.MyToshiba.co.nz/support/computers/Ultrabook/satellite-z930/pt23la-01f00n/download?OS=30

    There is probably not much difference between a PT23LA-01F and a PT23LA-01 P but it is a bit of concern to be download & install the drivers for a chip that is no my model...

He also advises "not all utilities are available for each model and operating system. During the installation of utilities, install the TOSHIBA value added first. "Sigh... so maybe my problem is that I installed the Win8 drivers & utilities order when build my own-building a Win8 pass win7? Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest... but if this is the case are here all other dependencies in these built?

    > Where can I get the right drivers for PT23LA-01 009?

    First series of Toshiba laptops (Australian, European, etc) is very similar to the other
    Your model of laptop Australian Satellite Z930 * PT23LA * series is the same as the European model Satellite Z930 * PT23LE * series.

    That's why the drivers, tools and utilities published for Satellite Z930 * PT23LE * series must be compatible with the Satellite Z930 * PT23LA * series.

    To get all drivers for Satellite Z930 * PT23LE *, you should check this page:

  • The cut on my Satellite A300 and it works without a keyboard

    Hi guys,.
    I spilled half a glass of tea on my Toshiba Satellite A300. I dried quickly by opening and by blowing dry air into it. The laptop works very well with the keyboard removed but no way with the connected keyboard it will star bipping everywhere. A couple of questions here.

    (1) can I connect a keyboard external usb for awhile?
    (2) Technical Service charge me to replace the lid and the keyboard? Why the cover while plastic and metal? How is the coverage could be ruinned too? I understand the keyboard, but the cover? Give me a break.
    (3) private users can buy replacements of parts on the internet. Any address in Europe who trust someone? I pay 60 euros for the time of 5 minutes from the repairman to change its keyboard. I can do it by myself. It's not rocket science, and here a great site with instructions step by step.

    Thanks for any help, I'd really appreciate it.

    See you soon,.

  • How to turn the light on the keyboard on Satellite A300

  • What is the recovery disc include - Satellite A300?

    Hello. I have a laptop Satellite A300.
    I have seen that my computer has 1 hidden partition in the first drive and another recovery file in the second disc.

    (1) what is the difference between the 2?
    (2) I accidentally deleted the file on the second drive, and now I am unable to create a recovery disc, so I need to order a new one.

    What is the disk? It only installs the operating system, or it will also include some of the software came with my laptop (Microsoft works, using the camera software and so on...)

    Thank you.

    (1) it's pretty easy. The hidden partition contains the Windows recovery environment and the file on the second partition in HARD disk recovery file, factory settings or leave a picture of her.
    The recovery environment is a feature of Vista, not a Toshiba. If you want to return factory settings, or to reinstall Windows, you need the HARD drive recovery function or the Toshiba recovery disc.
    Here is a useful link to the recovery environment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinRE

    (2) the reason why you can t create the recovery disk is that you deleted the file. On the second partition in HARD disk recovery file is normally only for this image and this can also be used for the recovery of HARD drive feature. Therefore, you need to go into the advanced boot menu and select Repair my computer. But now it s too late and you can t use this feature.

    If you want the recovery disc, you can order directly into a new to Toshiba:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx
    The recovery disk contains the operating system and all the drivers and tools you need for the Toshiba laptop.

    I m that you have right didn't look in the manual? ;)

    Well buddy. You mad a big mistake, you must have created the first recovery disc before you changed or deleted something from the disc.

    I put t know whether you will be able to use the option of HARD drive recovery, but try to press F8 key immediately after you have switched on the laptop.
    Usually, the menu should appear and you should choose the first option called repair my computer and then Toshiba recovery.
