Broken keyboard buttons on Satellite 3000-100

Hello, I have a problem with the keyboard of my Satellite Notebook. Some keys are broken and I want to replace them, but it's really hard. Now I want to change the entire keyboard, but I don't know, how to do this.
Do I have to call a technician of Toshiba or can I change it myself?
I'm sorry for my bad english ;)
Thanks, Luca

Hi
> Do I have to call a technician of Toshiba or can I change it myself?
Usually you should always contact the notebook technicians for such jobs. I mean there is a tiny risk that you could damage some other parts.
At the other hand if you have good notebook experience you could also replace such keyboard.
What you need is a compatible keyboard.
This could be ordered from the Toshiba ASP in your country.
The keyboard is secured with 4 screws which are hidden under the plastic cover.
Pull the right side on the strip cover and lift it up. But be careful due to the cable on the right side. Then release the cable gently from the connector on the strip cover assembly, then lift the strip cover out.
Remove four keyboard screws that secure the keyboard and then slide the keyboard backward until the keyboard cable is pulled out from under the logic upper.
Then disconnect the keyboard connector and the second connector from the VGA board and lift the keyboard up and out.
The procedure is not difficult for someone who has already disassembled a notebook. But again; if you dont have the needed experience then dont do it and ask an technician for the help.
Bye

Satellite 3000-100: 2nd battery not charging.

Hi, I've just a bought PA3099U-1BRS 2nd internal battery bay for Satellite 3000-100, but it remains on 0% and won't charge. I have read the support areas of the site and it says I need at least BIOS v1.90, and I have 2.40 (otherwise this could have been the cause of the problem), is there anything else I can try? Thanks, Tommy

Hi
If I am remember well enough the Satellite 3000 has a small reset button that must be pressed with a pen. Check it please and if yes put the new battery inside, start the unit and press the reset button immediately and hold down about 15 or 20 seconds.

One keyboard button is broken on Satellite A100-906

Hi guys,
Few days ago i bought Satellite a100 906. As soon i got home, i found one keyboard button (the cap from the inner side) is broken (the M letter).
Is it possible to order the keyboard buttons separately or only the full keyboard ?
My local dealer said only full keyboard is avalible, but its just funny, that i should buy a new one keypad instead of one letter cap.

Generally if the button mechanism is broken the whole keyboard must be replaced but if only the keycap is damage it should be possible to order the single keyboard key caps.
The removing of the keycaps is not very tricky. Simply go under the keycap with the fingernail and remove the keycap.
But I assume the warranty is valid therefore the service partner should do it for free.

Keyboard Satellite 3000-214 - Ctrl-key not working

Hi,
I've started my old Satellite 3000-214 Notebook and suddenly my Ctrl-key did not work anymore.
I've already tried to clean the keyboard by unmounting all keys from it and cleaning the foils, without success.
Can anyone tell me where I can get a suitable keyboard from (I live in germany)?
Does it has to be an original Toshiba keyboard or can it be from an other manufacturer?
How can I remove the keyboard from the laptop? Do I have to open the case or is it possible to get it out with a screwdriver or something?
Thx for any hint!
Best regards.

Hi
You should use the original Toshiba keyboard which is supported and compatible with this notebook.
All parts and devices you can purchase from the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country. The full database with worldwide ASP you can find on the Toshiba European support page.
Usually if you want to remove the keyboard you have to remove firstly the thin cover above the keyboard.
There you will find two screws which secure the keyboard. After removing of these two screws you will be able to put out the keyboard.
But be careful; the keyboard is connected with the flat cable to the motherboard.

Satellite 3000-514: How to activate Intel WLan 2200BG hardware button

Hi.
I have a Toshiba Satellite 3000-514 and an Intel Centrino Mini-PCI WLan card. (Intel???® PRO/Wireless 2200BG) Running win-XP and Ubuntu on it.
Is there a solution to sidestep the problem, that the wlan-software wants me to push a hardware-button to activate wireless lan, that my Laptop just don't have?
In a german forum someone mentioned solving the problem by using "easy button", a program I already downloaded from Toshiba.
But you can only choose .exe files to be connected to a button. Is there an .exe file to make the software think I pushed that not existion wlan-hardwarebutton?
*sigh* Help!?
Thanks in advance. Sorry for my bad english.

Hm,
sounds tricky. I have no software solution for you, but I have an alternative solution for you.
Since you are a german guy, you can check/read this:
ttp://cgi.ebay.de/54Mbit-ATHEROS-802-11g-b-G-Wi-Fi-WLAN-MINI-PCI-KARTE-RG_
W0QQitemZ250170200040QQihZ015QQcategoryZ79551QQssP ageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]
Its an atheros card like I have in my Tecra 9100. So, I had many many problems with intel card since they require a full working centrino
platform to work and so most of these cards need a "hardware" switch (in your case a button) to work.
With the atheros card you dont have these problems with switch/button since they are working anytime without need of switches or buttons.
The disadvantage is that you cannot disable the card for power saving purposes.
So I hope I could help you. Would appreciate some feedback. :)
Nice weekend.

Broken keyboard on Satellite notebook

When I press the space bar a 4 will pop up.
It is incredibly annoying.
Is this a virus or a broken keyboard? If you can please tell me how to get this fixed.

Hi shaunbailey101,
One thing would be important: What Satellite notebook you have exactly?
At the moment its not easy to say what is causing this problem but you should connect an external keyboard. If this works properly, your internal keyboard is faulty. In this case you need a new one because there are no single keys to exchange it.
If you contact the authorized service provider, they can order a new keyboard for you. :)

Where can I purchase a Satellite 3000-514 motherboard?

I need to replace the system board (?), motherboard (?) on my Toshiba Satellite S3000-514.
Question: Where can I go to purchase the motherboard?
Question 2: How much in sterling can I expect to pay?
Thank you.

Hi
I found this website with the motherboard for a Satellite 3000 series but it seems that the Satellite 3000-514 is not listed.
http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Toshiba,Laptop,Part,K000816560.aspx
Im not 100% sure but I think the 3000 series was delivered with the same motherboard.
But before buying anything you should ask the Toshiba authorized service partner for a details. The guys should be able to order also a compatible board directly from the Toshiba.
I think you are on the safe side if you ask the service provider for the opinion.
But as you can see the motherboard is expensive and possibly you could find a second hand board.

How do I remove the spacebar button on Satellite L350?

I have a shiny brand new Satellite L350, and a few drops of orange juice got splashed on lower part of the keyboard.
The keys are all fine, except the spacebar.
Although it works, it doesn't have that "click" when it is pressed.
Now I'm not sure if it'll be worth trying to lift the spacebar out and clean it.
If it is, I would appreciate some instructions on how to lift it out.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Usually all the keyboard buttons are only stuck on the keyboard and it should be possible to remove it easily.
I could remove my buttons using a thin object.
I put the thin object under the button and levered carefully the space bar.
If you do this please be careful because if you would use too much force, you could break some brackets.
Good luck

Broken power button on iMac G4

I am considering the purchase of this iMac. It has a broken power button. What are the implications of this? The present owner says that he just plugs it in and it starts up, and that besides he just leaves it on all the time anyway. How big of an issue is this? Can you advise me on how easy a power button might be to repair or if it is very necessary to repair it (assuming their is a workaround-keyboard startup?).
Thanks in advance!

Given the said iMacG4 model and year are not discussed, one possibility
may be to buy a third-party for Apple Macintosh keyboard with power key.
If nothing else is wrong with the computer, it may run awhile without trouble;
but access to the physical power key (on the logic board; may be hard to
buy the part by itself to replace it) is handy in troubleshooting or restarting
when something freezes up. Unplugging and re-plugging the iMacG4 to
make it go/make it stop is not recommended. Issues can result; I am
aware of a few problems in the G4 and earlier G3 iMacs and others, due
to the owner unplugging the machine instead of performing maintenance
or repairs in a timely and orderly fashion.
Since that machine is likely no longer covered under an AppleCare Plan,
you could either have someone else eventually replace the logic board
or other parts as you find them; or if you are technically minded and have
a good attention to detail with adequate work habits, fix it yourself. The
service manual, a download in PDF for techs, may still be available. It
was intended for trained personnel, and damages worse than the first
problem may result from improper procedures being done inside the iMac.
That said; good luck & happy computing!

Satellite 1800-100: video-out does not work

He,
I just installed windows XP on my old Satellite 1800-100, but now my video-out does not work anymore. So I just downloaded the latest driver, but there's no way I can get it installed. According to Windows the new driver isn't newer, so it won't let me update it. And when i try to unistall the display driver, I have to reboot before it takes effect, and wile rebooting it automaticly installs the standard driver again.
Can anybody help me?
Greets,
Daan

Hi
Do you mean TV- out port or monitor port? As far as I know this unit is preinstalled with WXP Home and all drivers can be also used for WXP Pro.
Did you preinstall your own OS (non recovery image)?

[SOLVED] MSI GT70 keyboard buttons not working

Hi! I am a normal user of computers that like games, so I bought this awesome notebook MSI GT70 i7 16gb ram GTX 675MX 128ssd+750hdd, with a keyboard by steelseries.
Everything was ok, using the notebook as came when I bought, with OS windows 8, with no format nor modifications by me, using it since January 2013.
The problem is that about 1 or 2 weeks some shortcuts of keyboard arent working anymore:
- Wifi button isn't working and isn't becoming orange when pressed, and Fn+F8 isn't working either;
- Screen shutdown button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
- Cd-dvd eject button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
- I tried also Fn+F9 and Fn+F12 shortcuts, and I think they arent working either.
At the same time, the Cooler button and the Backlight's Keyboard button are working correctly. Turbo button maybe is working too but I don't know if something become overclock when I activate it.
I would really appreciate some help, since I love my notebook very much, and I hope it's not a hard problem to solve.
Thanks!

Try resetting EC: >>How to reset the EC (Embedded Controller)<<
If that doesN't help uinstall SCM and after reboot install latest version: http://www.msi.com/service/download/utility-19670.html
Also try updating .Net Framework 4.5: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36377
Hi,
I followed your advice:
1. uninstalled SCM, restarted
2. installed SCM, restarted
3. tried to update .net framework, had it already
4. resat the EC
But unfortunately it did not change my GE60 2OC's behaviour: when i press the back-light button it opens my browser with dragoonarmy/msi.com>/ BUT NO LIGHT.
Do anybody have a suggestion to solve this??
Thanks Kurt

My iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode with a broken 'lock' button.

My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode with a black screen and I can't get it out. It has a broken lock button and I have tried everything to get it out of recovery mode. Every time I plug it into iTunes, it recognises my iPod and says 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used in iTunes, so I have restored it several times and every time, it says there is an unknown error. Please Help!! (my iPod is IOS 6.0.1)

What is the complete wording of the error message that says unknown error? Usually more information like a error number is also given.
