TX keyboard problem

I was typing contentedly on my Palm TX using the external keyboard when it just stop working.  I checked everything I know to check.  The drivers are on, batteries are new, IR is positioned, the battery contacts are good.  It won't work anymore.  What can I do else?  Is it possible that the keyboard just somehow 'broken '?

Hello and welcome to the HP support community!

Unfortunately, everything is '' possible. ''

I suggest to do a soft reset on the TX, checking the batteries to make sure they are fresh and loaded, and to heck him put a cloth over the IR to block any possible port fluorescent lights causing interference.

  • Portege R830 - Trackpad/keyboard problem

    HI - hope someone can help because I have only a few strands of hair left out!

    In the last two weeks, a problem has developed with the trackpad - and maybe my keyboard. Here are some of the symptoms

    1. the cursor on the screen suddenly freezes. If I leave the laptop and work back, and it's not.

    2. If I tap on the keyboard (can simply press the keys or I could be typing in a document) and the cursor may freeze again. During this event the little 'mouse/trackpad' power icon flashes briefly on the screen. If I hit another key (literally anywhere on the keyboard) a number of times (not the model number) the icon can cycle and the slider moves and then freeze again.

    It's as if each key on the keyboard is somehow the role of the FnF9 key.

    Unfortunately I took the laptop on a business trip recently and this time after initialization the laptop - the cursor was frozen and no amount of pressure button thoughtful or random didn't get going. It is a working battery. That scared the hell out of me.

    If I plug in a USB keyboard and mouse and then pressing the keys on this keyboard does not cause the cursor to freeze. But he can do anyway - as described in 1. above.

    The F9 key will unlock the cursor (I guess re - turn on the trackpad) - but it won't be long before cycle back again.

    I did not drop the phone. There is nothing physically wrong with her. The battery holds its charge and it starts successfully. I did no change of material during the month.

    The only button on the keyboard that is not working is the mouse/trackpad power button just above the space bar. It feels a bit depressed - but I think that is how it has always been. Juggle it makes no difference to this bizarre and erratic behavior. But perhaps this is relevant.

    When I tried.

    Reinstall the trackpad driver (Synaptics).

    Reinstall the PVAT (value package).

    I even tried to re-imaging of HARD drive to one of these days - and the other just after that I bought the laptop in 2012. Which should have solved if it was a software/driver problem - but it didn't.

    One thing I did not, is venturing into the BIOS. Maybe there is something in them?

    In Device Manager that everything is listed - no warning at all. There seems to be be no IRQ conflict.

    This could be a hardware problem? I read that the keyboards on R830 are quite likely to damage/stoppage of work. A the United Kingdom popular auction site has sellers who claim to have sold more than 40! That's a lot of R830s who have had new keyboards.

    I also know that a replacement is a pain, so I hope that's not it.

    Someone at - it suggestions? It makes me crazy.

    I google extensively and can't come up with anything either. There are the usual raft of people trying to find how to activate the trackpad or disable - but none seem to be struggling with the laptop made for them.

    Help!

    Hello

    According to the description of your problem, it seems that the touchpad is disabled automatically.
    As you have already mentioned, the touchpad can be enabled and disabled by using the FN + F9 key combination function

    Since you have also some keyboard problems, my theory is that there is a problem of keyboard that may be responsible for the touchpad ON / OFF question.

    What do you think of this theory?

    I put t think there is a software problem because as you already reset the system to the point in time at the beginning (factory settings?). This is why I think that the conflict of software cannot be the reason for this.

  • Satellite Pro C50 keyboard problems - A - 1 L 6

    Hello

    I just bought this new Satellite Pro.

    I have installed all the drivers and updated the bios to the latest version, but I still have the same problem: when I write, many times my keyboard writes double letters (for example, all ten words written keyboard a letter double, as "keybboard").

    I tried also to change the properties of the keypad on the control panel of Windows 8, but nothing has changed.

    I called support, but they just told me that I have to bring my laptop in a helpdesk: but I need my new computer to work, and I wouldn't be happy to lose at least 4 weeks!

    And, support told me that, if the laptop has no hardware problem, I would have to pay for assistance...
    .
    So, this is my first experience and unlucy in the world of Toshiba...
    Is there someone who can give me some advice to solve this problem?
    It may be a problem running on the new laptops, and someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you very much!

    Hi guys,.

    As far as I know that these similar keyboard problems in the past could be resolved by the BIOS updated.

    In the case where the external USB keyboard would work correctly, this issue isn't associated with BIOS or keyboard controller but probably his keyboard fault internal.

    L750D keyboard problems

    Hi some of the keys on my L750D don't work correctly for example
    The R key works fine in word format, BUT on a page web, it removes what I typed above
    The SHIFT key in MS word deletes a line on the web pages need you out of the box, in which you type

  • Portege M600: keyboard problem

    Hello

    My M600 just got a little problem (I hope) today.

    The 'x 'key' doesn't quite work. I have to press very hard to show the letter 'x '. It seems that the upper-left hand corner of this key is stuck, so he bends to the bottom right when I press on it. How can I solve this problem?

    I am located in Glasgow (G4 0JQ) and do not know if there are any office of maintenance here, but just know the nationalwide Service Pick-Up & return for laptops Web site. However, I prefer to deal face to face with the engineer in a few minutes, because I guess this isn't a big deal, isn't it?

    Thank you very much
    Ting

    Hi Ting

    What to say? You know that the best solution is ASP and finally change the keyboard. I really don't think you can fix it alone.

    I recommend you check out http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP. You will see where is the nearest ASP. Make a call and see what they say on keyboard problem.

    It's very strange can you check if this keyboard problem happening using an external USB keyboard?

    If the USB keyboard works, your problem is related to the fault of the internal keyboard. In this case it must be replaced.

    my laptop has active windows 8 OS

    Hi noor21

    If you have similar issues using internal and external keyboard, then I recommend you to run a recovery process that would fix the laptop back to factory settings.

    After this check, if your BIOS is up to date.

    If the keyboard problem will always appear even if you define the laptop back to factory settings, you must contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba because the keyboard failure may be related to hardware problems.

    Try using another browser (Google Chrome / Firefox) for a test to see if the keyboard problem still occurs. If it is not then the issue could be a problem with Internet Explorer.  What version you have installed? (IE6/IE7 or IE8)

    The same thing happens when you type in a document when you use Microsoft Word or Open Office?

  • keyboard problem - please help

    I have a aspire 5735 laptop that works fine. However, now, the caps lock is play, and even though I can still use it if I perservere i.e. help - it sticks on or off whenever I press it. In addition, it does not work so I can't type symbols above the numbers, so if I want to type an exclamation point, for example, I get a 1. I looked all over for an answer - is this a software problem.

    can anyone help - please. Thanks, sorry for the bad grammar and faulty keystroke etc.

    Normally, I guess that most typists using the SHIFT key in order to access the shifted keys (capital letters or symbols above the number keys).  If you have a specific keyboard problem, you may have a hardware problem.

    For a hardware problem, you will need to contact your local Acer technical support for assistance.

    Hi Ise,

    If you are using a UK keyboard you must ensure that the United Kingdom is selected in the "Region and language" section of the control panel. Open Control Panel and click the language and region. Once the window opens, click the keyboard and languages tab. In the keyboard tab window, click the button of "change of keyboard". In this window check that the English (United Kingdom) is the default language in the "default input language section dialog box. If it is USA then click on the arrow down and change it to the United Kingdom. If UK is not there, then click on the Add button to add this language.

    • 'stached"--> home?
    • "delwtwd"--> deleted?

    Assuming that I got those right, the answer is not much sense yet.  Take a deep breath, take your time and use simple language with common punctuation.  Type slowly.  Your hands are going faster than your mind and makes it hard to follow.  Don't make things worse by getting over excited.  ;-)

    What I tell you (based on the original post and now this response), this is your best course of action with your horribly hacked and infected system should all erase and start over - disconnecting the network while you do this to your computer.  If you have a USB and there are some select files/folders you want to have no EXECUTABLE in them - copy those turned off.

    You should probably reset each password you have for each account that you have as well – each of them.  Anywhere - Internet, etc.

    You may want to also likely reset everything router you might have that connect you to the Internet if there is a custom configuration - as they have probably your router pirate as well - giving them a back door at least in your network.

    What you have presented I can assume only you have been scammed.  They have probably used something like VNC or TeamViewer and your willingness to participate to take complete control of everything you have on your computer and possibly connected to your network.

    If it is a business network - disconnect your computer it immediately and contact your it Department and let them know what you think.
