Keyboard (key-in) problems in Qosmio X300

After 5 or 6 min of the Qosmio X300 start-up, my keyboard] is writing crazy:
E.g., hitting "d" the "d]" is writting, hitting "3", "3=" is writting.

I have the same problem with my Qosmio X300-12H. Started last evening for no reason. If I open a notepad and leave the cursor on the text field numbers and letters randomly appear, I also get mouse clicks. It doesn't happen immeditaly after restar, it takes a few minutes. The same happen if I remove the USB mouse. If its hardware then its not a keyboard problem. The letters that appear are the main ones I use when playing games.
Apart from that the laptop has been outstanding.

UK PC Keyboard Key Mapping problem

I've tried two UK PC Keyboards on my new mini. Both work fine apart from a few keys which are mapped incorrectly.
The most annoying are that the @ (at sign) and " (double quotes) are the wrong way round.
Is there a setting I can change (or some software I can install) to re-map these keys? I've tried changing the keyboard type in system preferences but it has no effect.
Everything else on the device is superb!
Thanks

Incredibly, i found the easiest solution to this problem (no, not the solution of buying a Mac keyboard!) lay on Microsoft's website...
I was using a Microsoft Natural Multimedia keyboard with my mini. I went there out of interest to see if there were drivers for it that would allow the use of some of the media keys (and there were incidentally, but that is off-topic!).
I went to http://www.microsoft.com/mac and followed a link to hardware. I forget exactly what route i followed, but i besically tracked down the mac drivers for the natural multimedia keyboard. In addition to the drivers download there was a microsoft keyboard layout download as well. I suspect this layout would be available as a download whichever keyboard you picked.
After installing this layout i then had an extra option in the international settings box called "British - Microsoft". Bingo! Job done.
Now i still found it frustrating since everything you read and all the software you have still talks about keys that the MS keyboards simply don't have and you have to remember that the "command" key is the "windows" key, etc., etc. In the end i just gave in and bought one of the apple pro keyboards. It gave me two extra usb ports and is LOVELY to use.
Bit of a learning curve mind since the @'s and "'s are in the "wrong" places if you come from the MS world, but i figured i may as well go through the entire learning curve and take that on board as well

Qosmio X300-15U - Product key for Windows 7 upgrade disk

Hello All,
firts post here :)
I have a Qosmio X300 15U, and just bought DVD upgrade for the OS: from Vista64 to Win 7 (home premium).
I got it by Toshiba Winodws 7 upgrade site.
I installed the upgrade and it's working fine, so far.
Only possible problem for the future, is that I cannot seem to find the Windows 7 product key label attached on the DVD paper case (probably lost it)
I have the DVD (for other serials, or so...)
Does anybody know if it's possible to make Toshiba support, send my old Windows 7 product Key or a new one (just in case of reinstall...)
It also appears that Microsoft has validated my install through their Tool (WGA, I think)
Do I need to revert to MS (paid) assistance, for such a (simple, to me) case?
Hope Not.
Thanks a lot.
Bye,
Diego

I don't know if Toshiba can send you a new productkey-label, you should call the helpdesk. But to find your productkey you need a key finder tool.
Try [this link|http://pcsupport.about.com/od/productkeysactivation/tp/topkeyfinder.htm] for a list of those programs.

Qosmio X300 -123, Win7 and FN keys

Hi there
I come to you with some problems due to my new installation of Windows Seven (Win7).
I Have a qosmio X300-123 and since I have installed Windows7 my FN keys aren't working.
I've tried reinstall the Value Added Package pack and my problem is not fixed.
Do you have any drivers pack for windows 7?

Is there a release date for windows 7 specific toshiba drivers and the Qosmio 123 ?
I still have seen no information on the news.
on the "download drivers page" (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU)
if you select
Product type : notebook
Family : qosmio
Product series : qosmio X series
you can select "windows 7" in the operating system.
if you select "model : X300"
you can't ...
Wake up Toshiba !!! win 7 is up :)

Firefox is Hanging (not full crashing) every time I press a keyboard key.. can't type URLs, can't scroll. Problem started this week and remains reproducible sadly.

Firefox hangs (freezes) when I press keyboard keys on my laptop (and only then).
Can't type URLs or scroll with the keyboard, for instance. Hence why this is being typed up on Internet Explorer. The problem is that my version of IE isn't registering Flash and/or Java as being fully active and up to date and I use Firefox more often.
This problem only appeared this week but now occurs every time; and has persisted after uninstalling and reinstalling (personal options uninstalled).
Firefox version most recent 3.6 iteration; 3.6.13
HP G62 Notebook PC with 2GB RamDDR2 and Athlon AMD II P320 Dual Core Processor;
System running Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit
I can't even copy and paste because Ctrl+C is a keypress!
Please help me?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Qosmio x300-15r: After recovery windows say: worg/incorrect product key?

Hi guys.
Well this is what happend. When i bought my laptop Qosmio x300-15r I made a recovery cd.
But I lost those cd's and burn another one recovery cd.
Now that i formated my windows with the recovery cd, and I want to log in He give me the
error: wrong product key,. but it's wierd, cause this product key is writting on the back of my notebook
So how can it be worng???
Does someone have a clue??
Greets
Cheng.

Hi
I dont understand.
Toshiba Recovery disk is already activated and there is no option for entering the serial key.
If you use the Toshiba recovery disk you will not be asked to enter any keys!!!
The serial key at the bottom of the unit belongs to the Toshiba installed Windows OS and cannot be used with other Windows versions.

Re: Qosmio X300-112 Blue led chicony webcam problem

Hi there!
I currently own a Toshiba Qosmio X300-112
It runs on windows Vista Premium Dutch Version
All seems to work well exept for the Chicony Webcam.
When i start the Webcam it behaves as is should when there is enough daylight.
However when the daylight fades /when it gets cloudy a light blue colouring appears in the right bottom corner of
the video viewer.
When there is no natural light left, during the evening this blue colour is quite visible in the right bottom corner.
it has a visible area of approx 3 by 4 centimetres.
I' ve already searched the whole internet for similar problems concerning this chicony webcam however i cannot find any results.
Technical support of toshiba couldn't help me either, they even stated that the problem with the blue colouring occurs on any toshiba laptop with this type of chicony webcam mounted.
I cannot image that this is true because i never heard some one about this.
What i can mention about this problem is that probably is a problem which is only found in the Qosmio x300 series.
The evidence i found was a detailed picture of the LCD lid from the qosmio X300 on the toshiba site.
The position of this webcam was exactly the same as with my notebook.
When i add all these findings together, other user should experience this problem more or less.
Is this true? Can anyone post if he / she experiences the same problem?
Many thanks
with regards

Hi there,
For some reason my original account doesn't work anymore, very strange.....
However, before people start removing accounts i would like to mention i solved this problem and would like to share this knowlegde
with other people.
After a lot of work to make my point to Toshiba repaircentre Netherlands they confirmed that the Chicony webcam in the Toshiba Qosmio X300 isnt positioned correctly. After my contact this problem is forwarded with high priority to the Toshiba factory where these notebooks are being manufactured.
If someone would experience the same problem;
For me the solution came from the repair centre, they will open the LCD panel and create a 'wall' between the blue LED and the Chicony webcam with the help of some basic materials.
This topic can be closed, i hope my help can help other people who purchased this type of notebook as well.
With regards.

Qosmio X300-13W GPU Driver PROBLEMS

Hi all,
I'v just brought my new "Qosmio X300-13W" and the Tempro Alerts say that I need to update my GPU drivers.
I go to the link provided by Toshiba that directs me to Nvidea driver downloads. The driver is "179.28_notebook_winvista_32bit_beta" yet when I try and instal the driver I am told-
(The Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatable with your current hardware. Setup will now exit).
I have even tried Uninstalling the drivers first before updating and still no Success, BIOS has also been updated.
Is it possible the GPU firmware needs to be updated ??
I'm not a NOOB with PCs and build and repair on a professional level but am still stuck.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP

> " and the Tempro Alerts say that I need to update my GPU drivers.
You misunderstood something.
The Tempro doesnt say you have to update the driver but it has notified you that a new version has been uploaded to the driver page!
But this does not mean that you have to update it!!!
Furthermore I visited the Toshiba European driver page and have chosen this driver posted in the Qosmio X300 PQX31E and found this info:
+You are leaving the Toshiba Website to get the generic beta driver from nVidia.+
+This driver has not been officially approved by Toshiba and is out of Toshiba warranty.+
If you want to install such driver then you can do this only at your own risk and you could install it in device manger;
There you have to choose advanced installation and finally have to point to the place where the driver has been stored on the HDD

No fingerprint sensor on my Qosmio X300-12H?

Hi,
I bought my Qosmio X300 -12H on 3d this month in UK, and just found that it does not have a fingerprint sensor.
As the User's Manual book and the pics on Toshiba website show, the fingerprint sensor should be in the middle of the two touch pad control buttons, but it's not there.
Is there anything wrong?
You can see it in the pic blow.
<a href="http://eldorado.5d6d.com/userdirs/a/1/eldorado/attachments/forumid_2/20081113_1e3e06bc7cc9093cf22adIVHfXw88xMY.jpg" target="_blank">http://eldorado.5d6d.com/userdirs/a/1/eldorado/attachments/forumid_2/20081113_1e3e06bc7cc9093cf22adIVHfXw88xMY.jpg</a>
 
Another problem is the right-of-center keyboard (the part above the arrow keys) seems to be loosing.
The entire right part of the keyboard makes noise when I'm fast typing.
My purchase link is <a href="http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/series/Qosmio-X300-series/1056665/" target="_blank">http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/series/Qosmio-X300-series/1056665/</a>
Can anyone help me please?
Regards
Glenn

Are you 100% sure that this Qosmio X300-12H model should be equipped wit the fingerprint reader?
I doubt it.
Fact is that the same notebook series (in your case Qosmio X300) was equipped with different hardware specifications. This means that some X300 can support the fingerprint and some model dont support this feature.
I have checked the X300-12H details on the page which you have linked in the post above and there is no fingerprint mentioned!

Qosmio X300-V15 - Touchpad driver for Windows 7

Hey all
I've got a huge problem with my Toshiba Qosmio X300-V15?. I've upgraded to Windows 7 Professional from Windows Vista and now my touchpad aint working :(
I have download the necessary drivers, and stuff from the following site : [http://nordic.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/dk/generic/SUPPORT_PORTAL/?]
But it aint working. At my Windows device manager it can find a P2 something mouse. So it can see that the mouse is "on".
Hope you can help me :)

Qosmio X300 - Black faded screen if I boot up

Hello
I recently purchase a Toshiba Qosmio X300-13O. I run before a week the system restore and I install all the drivers. As a result the laptop created a problem, every time I try to boot up a black faded screen apears and then the laptop restarts. Also the iluminted hot keys do not work.
Please help me solve this issue.
Regard, Aris

Thank you for your help. It was quite useful but it didn't give any results. The good news is that i found the wrong install driver, I tried to uninstall it from safe mode and from normal windows but it didn't allow me to do this. An error message appeared saying that the driver didn't install correctly and i don't have any permission to do that. My opinion is to return windows again in factory settings but i don't want to format my HDD because i am a student and i have a lot of work to back up and restore. If you have more advice to give me that it could be very useful. Thank you again for your help.
Regards Aris

Qosmio X300 - This system cannot use Toshiba Accessibility

I've succeeded to install all Qosmio X300 drivers on Windows 7 64-bit. Everything's working fine exept this one: "Toshiba Accessibility". When I click on an "Access" key I receive this error message:
"This system cannot use Toshiba Accessibility"
Why do I receive this and what is this function?

Yes, I have installed Toshiba Value Added Package and reinstalled it different times. Furthermore if this Pachage wouldn't be installed, there would no be any "FN Access" key to click on!
Just when I click this button I receive this strange message! I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. Even FN key itself stopped working. Won't show it's FN functions on display.
Even after reinstallation of Value Added Package I receive the error message and FN doesn't work!
Did someone encounter this kind of problem? I don't know what's going on, how to solve this?

Qosmio X300-11S - Cant get 1080p @ 60 Hz to work

I have a Qosmio X300-11S and no matter how much I try I can't get 1080p to work at 60hz.
In fact that timing isn't even available. I can only chose 24p or 30p on my Full-HD displays even though they support 50/60hz.
I have the latest drivers installed for my 9700M GTS so I'm lost. I am almost certain that it has worked before.
What might be the problem?

Hey,
Wait a moment, buddy.
If you connect your X300 to an external monitor via HDMI cable I would recommend connecting the cable first. Then power on the monitor or TV and select the correct input channel. At last power on the notebook and normally it should recognize the HDMI connection automatically.
If not you can use FN+F5 key combination to switch between the monitors.
Furthermore the latest display drivers from Toshiba should work because they are pretested so I would recommend this driver.

How to reformat Qosmio X300-11W to factory settings?

Hi guys!
My dad has had some issues with his laptop and so took it into a repair centre which uploaded Windows 7 professional over the top of the original VIsta set up to "upgrade" it. The problems have recently come back and progressed into worse issues and so a recently qualified computer tech friend put windows 7 home edition over the top of the professional system.
The problems dont seem to be going anywhere. The question we have it does anyone know if its possible to reset the laptop to the original Vista OS with everything wiped without a recovery disk and if so how to do it?
We have tried various key combinations to try and start the reformatting program but nothing seems to be working and so I thought perhaps its 'confused' as there are 3 systems hiding on it?
As far as I am aware the spec is:
Toshiba Qosmio X300-11w.
original OS - Vista
Overwritten with Windows 7 professional
Overwritten again with Windows 7 home edition
eerrmm... Im not sure what else might be needed so feel free to let me know if something is missing. :D
Thanks in advance and sorry for the longish post.
Kenni

Your dad is right. This notebook model was delivered without recovery disc but in users manuals document is clearly described that recovery disc must be created by notebook owner using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator tool.
What you can do now is to order original recovery disc on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
If you want to have original factory settings you must use this disc or install own OS version using Microsoft installation disc. Please note: after using original Microsoft disc you must buy activations code.
