Keyboard and touchpad not working

Good day My keyboard and touchpad stopped working all of a suuden, and I need help. My computer is Toshiba Satellite E55 A-5114, this has happened to me before but only the touchpad stopped working and it fixed whenever there was a system update, now I've updated the system and installed the recent drivers and still not working, any ideas?

Satellite E45t-A4300
There appears to be an epidemic. My guess is that a Windows update which changes a driver causes it.
So turn off automatic update and inspect them one-by-one. They are offered on the second Tuesday of each month.
Windows Update: Frequently Asked Questions
I install only those marked Important or Critical. In particular, stay away from those which change a device's driver. Get driver updates only from Toshiba.

Keyboard and touchpad not working after Windows 10 update

after udating windows 10 on my probook 4440s keyboard and touchpad not working. if i press a key for 10seconds the key then shows up in the screen. and touchpad is worst. it freezes all the time barely moves. but with usb mouse it works fine

It's known that installing Windows from an external DVD drive on a Mid 2013 MacBook Air causes that the keyboard doesn't work after finishing the installation. The fix is to install Windows by using a USB drive. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4599

Laptop keyboard and touchpad not working in Windows 8.1

I just upgraded my S875-S7248 to Windows 8.1 last night. At first, everything seemed to be fine. However, this morning, the keyboard and touchpad had stopped working, and nothing I've tried has fixed it. After some research, I figured out how to open the Device Manager, and the both devices are showning the infamous yellow triangle. When I click on the device, I see the message "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is imcomplete or damaged (Code 19)". Both devices are PS/2 devices, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device, and updating the driver, but to no avail. In addition, I've run the Toshiba Service Station driver update, but it doesn't retrun any new updates either.
So, short of unstalling Windows 8, what can I do to fix this?
Solved!

Hi rmikereese
I had the same issue - but luckily you dont have to uninstall Windows 8 (at least I didn't need to)
Running a system restore should bring your computer before you installed the "critical updates" from Toshiba. Fortunately I had a usb mouse already installed (because like you, my touchpad was also not working)
1. Restart Computer and Sign In
Note: I had to use the on-screen keyboard option found on the Ease of Access found at the bottom left of the screen
2. Right Click on "My Computer" (aka "Computer" aka "This PC") and click on Properties
3. Click on System Protection (3rd option on the left menu)
At this point a new System Properties window will pop up already on a System Protection tab
4. Click System Restore...
5. Choose restore point --> I had an option for "Windows Update" which was a "Critical Update"
My computer reset the registry and my touchpad and keyboard began working again!
When Toshiba tells you that you have Updates (Toshiba Support Driver) IGNORE IT!
Hope this works for you!

Windows 8.1 Onboard Keyboard and Touchpad Stopped Working.

After upgrading to Win 8.1 my keyboard and touchpad stopped working suddenly. They both worked fine for the entire Windows 8.0 release. When I upgraded to 8.1, they both worked for about 3 months. Then what started happening is the computer
would freeze during the startup process.
Now they both don't don't work. But a USB powered mouse works. So with a USB powered mouse and the on screen keyboard I have been troubleshooting. I have removed the drivers from the device manager, reinstalled the drivers, searched for
driver updates etc. Nothing works.
Can someone please point me in the right direction. PC is kind of useless at the moment.

How and why did you install that? What steps did you take in that process. I can then help with some steps to undo them.

Thanks for the information, that is exactly what I needed.
If you are having the enter issue when using the wired KB from your old computer that sounds software related with the blog site.
What web browser do you use when on that website?
Connect your wireless equipment back and if you continue to have the issue with the letters repeating then you should inquire about a replacement for what is referred to as "sticky keys". With it being a new unit this shouldn't be an issue.
Let me know if you have other questions.

Ultraslim wireless keyboard and mouse not working

Hi , I purchased the Lenovo Ultraslim Wireless Keyboard & Mouse (pn: 57Y4700) about 4 months ago for use with my T60 laptop (which i use with a docking station and large lenovo monitor at work).
Everything was woking fine until last Monday when I can into work after the weekend and neither the mouse or keyboard worked. I replaced the batteries in both, rebooted the machine several time, switch the USB ports for the nano receiver, but nothing seems to have worked.
I looked online for troubleshooting options, but did not find anything.
The mouse and keyboard don't seem to have a "sych" button - if I recall correctly everything worked right out of the box.
My theory is that the nano reciever was damaged (not sure how) -- but don't know how to proceed:
can the nano reciever be replaced;
any other options to troubleshoot;
any chance that this could be a software problem
Thanks

How about telling us how your keyboard & mouse are not working? Are both using batteries or are they wired? If batteries, have you checked and/or changed them? Keyboard & mouse Apple's or 3rd party? If you are still under warranty and/or have AC, call them & let Apple deal w/your problems.
If possible, try another keyboard & mouse?
Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.
================
When posting in Apple Communties/Forums/Message Boards.......It would help us to know which iMac model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.

HP notebook keyboard and mouse not working

Hi
I spilled tea on my notebook. Now the system boots but keyboard & mouse do not work. Therefore I am not able to
login at the windows screen. When I hardboot, on pressing esc it goes to boot menu, but then the keyboard stops working
so I cannot go to safe mode or recovery mode. I also tried pressing F11 to enter BIOS, but it does not work.
I can however access it via LAN and since I had shared the C drive, I was able to recover the data. Do you have any idea
how I can restore the system now ? I do not have the recovery disks.
Are there any particular function keys to press while booting ?
Thanks a lot for your help

Thoughts on a Soggy System:
Have you tried the obvious -- connecting an external keyboard and mouse? If you are not near a store where you can buy these, you can order them online as a set. Almost anything would do and Windows 7 and 8 install basic drivers for most keyboards and mice without problems when the system comes online.
If you have not waited for several days for things to REALLY dry out before attempting to get back onto the system, then you may get away with this yet - if you WAIT for a few days. Chances are not great, but ... ?
If you can get the system to a repair shop, it is not terribly expensive to have the keyboard / touchpad replaced -- assuming that is all that is wrong with the system -- and the repair is not a lengthy process. This might be something you can do yourself if you are skilled, disparate, in a tiny spot on the planet somewhere (without a repair shop), or like these things...
We can check for part numbers and all of that if you are interested. You can search for for yourself, too.
Start at
Support and Drivers
Enter your information -- Look along the colum and Click on Manuals. You are looking for the Maintenance Manual.
If you do not find it, provide your Exact Product number and I will look for you.
Locate the Notebook Product Number
I am pretty sure you are going to have to have some sort of keyboard control over that system to do more than just use the hard drive to do a hard recovery of the data. You are not at that point until you determine that you cannot access the data through the computer itseslf...
You can always send the system to HP and have it repaired. It is not free unless you have the warranty for it - but it is not horrible to do; HP makes the process pretty easy. It might be worth checking if you do not have a local option available!

Keyboard and Trackpad Not Working; Mac OSX Unexpectedly Quit?

Hey everyone... I think I may need to stop by the Apple store to figure this one out, but I just wanted to make sure if there was anything I could do on my own first.
So basically, on my MacBook Pro that I got nearly two years ago (late September of 2006) for the past month and a half has had problems. In the beginning, the mouse and keyboard would freeze up and just not work. Restarting the comp did nothing. Some times were worse than others (once it was frozen for 1.5 hours). Then it stopped, every now and then having a few freezes (sometimes when the keyboard froze but the trackpad was still good), but two days ago I had my comp not hooked up to an adapter. When the battery got low, the comp froze. I went to bed and closed the laptop, and the next day it was still frozen. I unfroze it, but then it happened again (I'm pretty sure the same situation... almost no battery)... and it is still frozen, even after multiple restarts.
Also, during the time when freezes weren't as bad, sometimes the keyboard would get stuck on one key, usually the volume up button (very annoying)... then I was told to restart the comp. When I came back, I was told that Mac OS X had unexpectedly quit.
Sorry that was a lot to read, but any help is really appreciated! Thanks!
Not sure if this is also important, but I did spill some water on the keyboard a very long time ago (late December '06)... it wouldn't take this long for that to cause the problem, would it?

Does booting up in [Safe Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455?viewlocale=en_US] help at all? This boot mode checks the disk on startup and disables non-apple start up items and certain kernel extensions.

Keyboard and touchpad stop working

Hi everyone.
I've used my HP Mini 2140 Notebook PC for about two months. Two days ago, while I was working, the keyboard and touchpad stopped responding so I couldn't do anything. The computer kept "working" though. The computer won't go into sleep-mode when I try that; it just fades out the screen and hangs. Since then, this has started happening at total random.
I've tried this across two installations of Vista Home, and have uninstalled/reinstalled device drivers. I noticed that whenever this happens, the laptop's fan accellerates to what seems like full blast, and keeps going like that until I force the power off.
I've tried unplugging the AC adapter and battery, holding the power switch to drain power from circuits and booting up again, both with AC only and battery only. Neither of these things helped.
Wondering if anyone has seen or heard of a similar problem? Very frustrating.

Have EXACT same problem! Only my keyboard and touch pad freeze up after I have let computer run without touching it for several minutes!
Have no problem if I continually use keys or touch pad!
Have extended power saver times to over 5 hours with no help!

MacBook keyboard and trackpad not working

Hi,
I have had my MacBook for about a month and it has been great. However yeasterday the keyboard and trackpad stoped working. I have been abble to use it with a usb keyboard and mouse, but obviously this is not a permanent solution. There seems to be no connection between the computer and the mouse. The lights on caplock and numlock don't work and in System Preferences> Keyboard and Mouse there is no trackpad option. I assume an internal connection has come appart but I don't want to open it up as I am not perticularly experienced in these maters.
Any feedback would be apreciated

OK, I have had the same problem. I had a look on these forums, but the best thing to do is call Apple Support. They told me to do the following:
Unplug the mains adaptor
Remove battery
LEAVE the machine for like 50 seconds.
HOLD Power button for at least 5 seconds.
Install battery
Attach power adaptor
Before turning the machine back on, hold down: Option Key (Alt. with the switch symbol) Control (Apple symbol with square thingy) P and R.
While holding these press the power button, KEEP holding them, and the machine will restart again, chiming again, KEEP holding and the machine will restart a third time: on the THIRD restart and the THIRD chime, release the keys, and the login screen should come up, and machine should be OK.
This is what worked for me.
Incidentally, last night the machine stopped recognising the keyboard and trackpad, but responded with external devices, but this morning, it wouldn't even start. This solved both issues, it is so far working fine.

Stuck at login, Keyboard and Trackpad not working.

I don't know what happened, but this morning, all of a sudden my keyboard and Trackpad stopped working. I have recently upgraded to Lion and ever since had some minor issues here and there, but this is something really new. I suspect the last update did something, but I'm not sure. Thanks to my friend, he let me use his Mac to post this. I'm totally puzzled about what to do. The keyboard works just fine prior to OS X load, I can tell this because when I hold the Option key the boot manger window comes up, but both keyboard and Trackpad stop working during the login phase. I'm confident that this is a software issue, I just don't know how to fix it

I have found, when this problem exactly occurs. In order to reproduce this problem, click on Apple icon and then Restart, untick Reopen windows when logging back in. After system is restarted the keyboard and trackpad will not work, and the only way to solve this is to manually restart your Mac, by holding down the power button.
