Keyboard error: Satellite L670D

Hello,
Since 2 weeks I wasn't able to use the 0-button (zero) on the numeric side. All the other numbers work fine!
Is this a known issue? Did I turn off this button somewhere I didn't know?
Thanks
Bayman

I now notice that both usb-ports also are disabled. I think there's more going on with this notebook.
So testing an external keyboard wasn't possible. But your idea was good. :-)
I think it's best to bring it back and ask for repair.
Thanks

Caps Lock & Keyboard error - Satellite L50-A-1F2

Hi, everybody!
Can anyone help me solving these problems with caps lock key?
*1st problem:*
In my Toshiba Satellite L50-A-1F2 the led on the caps lock key is always on.
*2nd problem:*
I have made some test using MS Word:
when caps lock is not active, I can write without problems.
when caps lock is active, I have problems with some keys (all in the same "column"): 3, D, E, C.
When I press:
3: I get the symbol "-"
D: the cursor moves to the line below
E: I get the or the TM symbols; sometimes it activates Intel Graphic Panel
C: the cursor moves to the begin of the first line.
Thank you in advance for you help!

Usually the CAPS LOCK button function could be enabled and disabled pressing the same button once again.
If this isnt possible, Im afraid this could be a hardware problem.
But new Toshiba notebooks support special feature called special function key mode.
This mode allows you to use the FN keys without pressing the additional FN button.
I dont know if this mode could affect the CAPS LOCK functionality but its definitely worth a check.
However, I would recommend you to connect external keyboard and to check if the same CAPS LOCK problems would appear. In case the external USB keyboard would work properly, the CAPS LOCK issue is related to internal keyboard malfunction.

How do I install Ubuntu on a Toshiba Satellite L670D-102

Hello
I have been trying to load Ubuntu 10.10 (tried both AMD64 and i386 versions of Desktop Edition) onto a Satellite L670D-102 using a Live CD. The CD spins for a while, there is some activity on the hard drive and then I get a flashing white cursor (a hyphen) on a black screen. I left it all night and it remained the same. I tried with a 'live' usb and again, no boot. The cds and usb work in other machines running both amd and intel cpus.
The sort of questions that spring to mind are:-
Is there some security or other setting within the cmos that prevents anything other than Windows being loaded?
Are Toshiba simply anti- Linux and I need a new machine?
Do I need a special bios to run Ubuntu?
Any help in resolving the issue would be welcome.

Hi
I use a Toshiba Satellite L655. It came with a Win7. The first thing I did after buying it was to wipe out Win7 and install ubuntu 10.10 on the entire hard disk (not a dual boot or Wubi install). Now I want to try out ubuntu 11.04 beta from a live usb and I am trying to change the boot order. The laptop doesn't boot from the usb drive. I am unable to enter the BIOS. I have tried pressing ESC, F2 etc while switching on the laptop. So far, I have not been able to access the BIOS setup.
I have tried googling and I read about Toshiba's "legacy-free" laptops. But am not sure if mine is such a one. Now, I don't have Win at all in my laptop. I have only ubuntu 10.10. I need to access the BIOS setup and change the boot order so that my laptop boots from the USB drive. How do I do this?
Any guidance would be welcome.

Headphones usage with Satellite L670D-105

Data:
Toshiba Satellite L670D-105
Windows 7 64
Realtek HD Audio Manager
I am trying to plug in a headphone, but it does only work partially.
Most of the above Realtek software is not available to me.
In other words the earphones work, but I cannot access the parts of the software that would let me switch between earphones and speakers. Which was my main problem from the start.
The speakers work, but the sound of the laptop can't be turned off, since these options in the software are not available for changes to me.
I will hand in the laptop soon, which was the advise from the German Toshiba Forum.
[Just look at the photos|steckerbild-lender.blogspot.de] , and ignore the funny language.
It felt from the start that the plugs should be able to move in more completely than they do, since everything else so far did. The first photo shows you to what extend they still stick out, I put some white paper on it to show the part which can't be convinced to move in further.
The next photo below shows you the plugs attached to the laptop. It feels since they do not connect completely, I cannot access the software and switch from headphones to speakers.
These options in the software are unavailable to me.
That's when I contacted the German speaking Toshiba Forum and they advised me to either use force, which honestly does not help, or hand in the laptop.
any ideas? Is this a known problem?

Hi
As far as I know the head phone and microphone input supports simple 3.5mm three-conductor mini jack.
The pictures provided by the link in your message shows exactly such 3.5mm three-conductor mini jacks.
>In other words the earphones work, but I cannot access the parts of the software that would let me switch between earphones and speakers
I found a thread about similar theme:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65295
The sound came through the speakers even if the headphones were inserted.
In the top right corner, there's a little yellow folder called "Connector Settings".
There, you can reactivate the setting "Enable pop-up dialog, when device is plugged in.
So now when you plug-in an external speaker or headphones, it pops up and I select the option "headphone" (instead of "line-in"), and then the sound comes out only through the headphones / ext. speaker.

Slow start-up on Satellite L670D

I have a new Toshiba laptop that I bought in March this year.
The model is a Satellite L670D-13f. The problem I have with it is that it takes 10-15 minutes at least to start to up to access the internet. Typing is not responsive it is like a delayed reaction, you have to pause typing to allow the computer time to acknowledge what has already been typed, this is very frustrating.
My internet speed is very good so I don't know what is causing the problem.
Can you give me any advice?
Thanks

Hello
As the previous user wrote there are many threads here in forum how to improve the performance of Windows. Dont forget this is a software (Windows) based problem and has nothing to do with Toshiba itself.
So just disable some start up programs, run defragmentation utility, uninstall software that you dont need With other words keep your Windows clean ;)

Hetis 945 No Keyboard Error

I am using a Hetis 945 (MS-6410) Barebone System as an Embedded Print Controller with a Touch Screen Monitor. I get a No Keyboard Error at boot up when no keyboarsd is connected. I can't find any keyborad settings within the Bios (Award Ver 6.00PG). How can I disable the keyboard?

Have a look in BIOS settings, under 'Standard CMOS settings', there is usually a 'Halt On...' option, which you should be able to change to 'No Errors'.

Satellite L670D hanging on shutdown

Any one know why or if there's a fix?
Double checked and there are no viruses or malicious ware on it.
Doesn't do it ALL the time ... but it does it enough to be annoying.
Thanks for any help.

Satellite L670D-ST2N03
When you boot into Safe Mode, can you shut down cleanly?
Start your computer in safe mode
When you boot normally into another user account, does it work properly? Create one if necessary.

Ultra 20M2 Keyboard error

Hi,
I have been having problems with getting Bloomberg keyboards to work on our Ultra20M2 workstations. At boot, Post screen we are getting the Keyboard error "Press F1 to continue" etc and the keyboard is not responding. Standard Sun keyboard works fine. I have upgraded the bios to 1.45 and still the problem occurs
Seems to be some sort of BIOS related error as is not OS dependant.
Thanks
Peter

Yes, U20M2 machines are VERY picky about keyboards. I've been able to get other keyboards to work by unplugging/re-plugging them in at the error, then pressing F1. Very annoying to have to do that everytime the computer boots up, but that's all I've found that works...

Satellite P100-240 : Keyboard errors in Microsoft Outlook

When I try to insert a symbol when using Microsoft Outlook I get a # symbol - and cannot find the symbol anywhere - the keyboard is fine in other packages - is there a simple way to fix the keyboard for Outlook only?

Do these mixed signs appear in other applications like MS Word?
According to your description I would recommend to change the Keyboard language settings.
Possibly you use an UK keyboard layout but the settings were set to English US.

UPDATE : Toshiba Recovery Wizard 'cannot read from source file or disk' error (satellite L500)

UPDATE 2: Phoned Toshiba tech support again, guided by techie to begin the recovery again. Just before phoning I was able to go into recovery options and view the drive setup and all the files that couldn't be read are on the CD so I've no idea why the error kept occuring, and neither did the techie. Fingers crossed it works this time but I'm not overly hopefully given that we've just done exactly the same as I did before. UPDATE 1: I got into the BIOS and reset everything back to defaults and yay, my toshiba recovery wizard now starts! :-D On the down side, when trying to do a factory default software / out of the box recovery I continually get error messages with regards to copying the files, for example
cannot read from source file or disk
7z.dll
Type application extension
size 585kb
date modified 7/14/2009 10.26pm
other read / copy errors include PREINST6.SWM, BOOT_32, BOOTPRIORITY, CHECKMAXPTSIZE, CHGBOOT, CPU, CPUCHECK, CREATEPARTITION, CTRLDRVINFO, DISKWIPE, DMI, DPINST32, EBLIB.DLL, ERRORDIALOG, EW3BOOTSEQ, FWLINK, FWLINK.SYS, GETHDDINFO, GETKEYSTATE, IMAGEX, INFILED, INITRECAREA, KRAIADAPI.DLL ..... at which point I decided to 'skip all' :-/
Any explanations as to what's going on and how I might be able to fix it would be very much appreciated! :-) Thank you!
I have a two and half year old satellite L500 with an Intel i-3 and 4 gigs of RAM, on which I was running Windows 7.
Admittedly it’s had rather a hard life (I ran some very demanding CAD / graphics software on it) but it had always performed well until just recently, when after suffering several BSOD (which had never happened before), the hard drive failed.
I partitioned and formatted a brand new hard drive (which is perfectly fine and functions normally when hooked up to another laptop with a SATA to USB cable) and obtained system recovery discs from Toshiba. Unfortunately, when I try and run the first disc, windows starts to load files but then generates an error screen with the message Error F3-F100-0003 and a request to turn the computer off.
When I use the windows Memory Diagnostic to get into the Windows Boot Manager Screen I get the following;
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware / software change might be the case.
To fix the problem
Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer
Choose your language settings and click ‘next’
Click ‘repair your computer’
File: \boot\memtest.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
I can also use F8 on startup to get into the advanced boot options but selecting any of them simply results in the F3-F100-0003 error message. I’ve run a memory test using the UBCD, which tells me the memory is fine, and tried another hard drive (which also works perfectly well in another laptop) but no joy. On phoning Toshiba support the techie said my hard drive had failed, but as I say, both hard drives are perfectly fine / usable when hooked up to another laptop. I’m now completely stuck as to what the problem is and how I might resolve it – any advice / suggestions would be most gratefully received! Thank you in advance :-)

Satellite L655-S5096
Downloads here.
the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"
My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.

Open/close keyboard error

Hi, I was wondering if anybody had any experience with an error like this. I have a Labview made Application that is experiencing some conflicts after installation on a Windows 2000 machine. Bare in mind that it has been successfully installed on 2000 machines in the past. The problem is that when the application is run, the user receives a message that reads,"Select sub.vi to open keyboard". I don't believe this refers to a sub vi called "sub.vi" but a sub vi in general. Could there be a conflict with the keyboard drivers? I unfortunately am not a first hand witness, so this is all the info I have. Could a USB keyboard cause errors like this or something?
Glen D

Evan,
Thank you for all your suggestions. The exact error messages our customer is receiving are 'Select sub.vi to open keyboard' and 'Select sub.vi to close keyboard'. These errors occur when the exe is tried to run. By no coincidence, two of the vi's in this exe are called "open keyboard.vi" and "close keyboard.vi". This sounds strange to me because I would think the error message would read something more like, " Vi not found. Select 'Open Keyboard.vi'" The actual message implies that LabView knows what the missing vi's do, unless it is some other kind of error.
It also does not make sense to me that these two vi's would go missing on 1 out of who knows how many installations. Is there any possible explaination for that?
Lastly, an
d somewhat unrelated, at the heart of these vi's is a CIN. How do I review the code of the CIN?
Thanks again

Apple AL wireless keyboard error when pairing

All was well with this keyboard until just recently. I've tried to pair this keyboard with 4 different Macs of mine (all 10.5.4/5) and get the same error over and over:
The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your keyboard is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable". When ready, click Continue to try again.
Unable to pair with your keyboard. Click Continue to try again.
Took it to the local Mac shop (over 100 miles away) and they got it to work with two of theirs after trying a little bit. Asked me to try again.
As expected, no dice. Same error.
Any suggestions (other than fresh batteries)?
Thanks

Hi Glenn:
If the KB will not pair with any of your Macs, I strongly suspect the KB is failing (failed). A 100 mile drive is not a happy thought. Perhaps you can call Applecare (hopefully the KB is in warranty) and have them send you a replacement.

Where can I buy a keyboard for Satellite C855D?

Hello
Sorry for my english's mystake, i'm french.
So,
i've broken the keyboard of my laptop (Satellite C855D) with water.
I took it of and i use now a USB keyboard.
I'm looking to buy a new keyboard but the prices are expensive
. I was thinking that maybe, here, you could give me a website where i can buy a good keyboard not too expansive.
Can someone help me?
Thank you.
Matt

> Which website should i use?
Sorry mate but I really dont understand why you asking for something like that?
There are millions of online dealers who offer notebook parts in different countries.
Choose the best, for you available in *YOUR* country.
I dont know if the best offer for you means the cheapest offer for me the best offer isnt the cheapest one.
I prefer online dealers with good reputation and not with the cheapest price.
>and, if "Such keyboards are used by different notebook manufacturers", how do i surch for it?
Search simply for Satellite C855 / C855D / C850 keyboard
Then you will get some google hits providing the compatible part!
> Using the number writtent in the back? Cause, when i use this number "H000040810" to search on internet, i only have websites that work with toshiba.
Of course you will get ONLY the keyboards used by Toshiba because these are Toshiba part numbers!
If you would contact the authorized service provider in YOUR country, you will get the original part.
