Keyboard of Satellite A60-106 not working

I have the above laptop that I took apart to clean the fans. I had to remove the keyboard in order to do this and when I put it back together strange things happened. The first time I started it only half the keyboard was working. I took it apart again to check the ribbon cable and it was seated and in place correctly. When I turned it back on, none of the keys worked again.
I have noticed though that when it turns on, the caps lock light flashes as it should. However I cannot enter BIOS or the windows boot menu or type anything when the OS has loaded.
I bought a new keyboard now and it does exactly the same thing so it's not that.
The USB keyboard works ok and I notice that when I put the caps lock on the caps lock light on the laptop keyboard also illuminates but the keyboard still does not work.
I have downloaded the latest bios from toshiba website but when I try to run it (it is a windows based program) it says "Failed UpdatePlatform". It is the correct bios though found here: http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/eula/info_eng2.asp
Any advice here would be appriciated.

Hi dude
> I have the above laptop that I took apart to clean the fans. I had to remove the keyboard in order to do this and when I put it back together strange things happened.
Did you remove more parts as only the keyboard to clean the cooling module???
I suppose you did!
What to say buddy for me it looks like a hardware issue and it seems you did something wrong during the notebook dismounting.
I dont thing that the BIOS update could helps you because it does not look like a BIOS problem. Why?? Because it looks like the notebook ran correctly before opening!
In my opinion you should contact a notebook technician because a common user like you who has no experience will be not able to fix it!!!
The ASP could help you. The guys have more experience and uses special tools to locate the malfunction!!
Good luck

  • Satellite A60-106: Unable to open Microsoft Office 2003

    I have Satellite A60-106 laptop with windows XP home edition pre-installed. After recent failure of windows i have used product recovery DVD of toshiba. Following that I was successful in downloading other software like microsoft works, one note, Norton antivirus from CD. But Microsoft student and teacher edition 2003 CD is not opening in my CD/DVD drive.
    It makes normal CD accessing noice after inserting, but not accessible. Pressing 'run' shows error message as D:\ not accessible, I/O device error.
    The same CD (microsoft 2003) opens with other computers.
    So where is the fault and how to rectify?
    I have tried all sorts of advice through web.
    Can some one please help me?

    Hi
    For me it looks like a hardware fault. The error says that the drive is not able to read from the Microsoft CD.
    There must be something wrong with the drive lens and therefore the lens cannot read the CD and the drive is not accessible!
    Possibly after lens cleaning you could use this CD.

  • One of the keys on Satellite E205-S1980 not working

  • The function key in my Satellite C660 is not working

    The function key in my Toshiba Satellite C660 is not working except for volume.
    That problem appeared after i changed something in the startup programs and uninstalling as i remember tvap and no button support appears in my start up programs :(

    That unbelievable I did something wrong..
    First of all you have to install VAP. Then reboot the notebook.
    Download and install Flash Cards Utility and reboot the notebook again.
    Now go to Start -> All Programs -> Toshiba -> Utilities -> Flash Cards and restart this software.
    Now the FN buttons should work.
    But before you would start the whole installation, you should uninstall the VAP and Flash Cards and should clean the registry using CCleaner as suggested by some users hare in the forum!

  • New Apple Keyboard Launchpad F4 key does not work

    New Apple Keyboard Launchpad F4 key does not work
    Hi, I have now got ne new wireless keyboard because my old one broke. I connected the keyboard, the F3 key (Mission Control) functions, the F4 key, especially for Lunchpad does not work, I'm Lion on it, previously on the old keyboard I had in 2009, he occupiedwith Launchpad F5.
    Have System Preferences / Keyboard / Keyboard Shortcuts reset everything goes ......... but not yet!!
    Maybe someone can help me!!
    Thank you
    greeting

    Hi,
         Your migration to Lion brought over a previous hot key preferences document. And this contains one bad key that wasn't updated.
    - Quit System Preferences (if open)
    - Delete this document to remove a carry-over mapping error.
    - Then logout
    Note: That this will delete any existing modified keyboard assignments. Re-assign changes manually.
    Note2: This document is in your users preferences folder.

  • The "alt, ctrl and shift" on the left side of my keyboard keys integrated notebook did not work. What should I do?

    The "alt, ctrl and shift" on the left side of my keyboard keys integrated notebook did not work. What should I do?

    Hi Luis Fernando Garcia,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has troubleshooting for keys not working on your keyboard:
    One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
    Some keys don't work as expected
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Speech.
    Click the Text to Speech tab.
    If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
    Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
    Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
    In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sureMouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, seeUnable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
    If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
    If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
    Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
    Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
    If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • My Hp Pavllion dv7 keyboard and touch pad will not work

    Hi. My Hp Pavllion dv7 keyboard and touch pad will not work. Been going on for a few months now. Read in the support forum that replacing the battery might help however it hasnt. Ran updates for Windows Vista and Microsoft Security Ess. Boots up just fine however unable to place in my password to get to my user profile and always have to work from guest......unless I have a USB keyboard handly at the time. I use a USB wireless mouse as well.
    Please help and thank you

    The keyboard and mouse (touchpad) are separate devices which could go bad at the same time but that would be a huge coincidence. I would try reseating the ribbon cables to the motherboard for both. Here is the Service Manual:

  • Satellite L670 touchpad not working

    Hi! I have a Satellite L670 (no other numbers/letters after that). I recently took it apart to clean the fan that was not working. I got that fixed, but now the touchpad will not work. It recognizes a USB mouse. I have tried the FN+F9 feature and it didnt help. I get a message saying "Synaptis Pointing Device Driver is not syncing". I have uninstalled, reinstalled and still no such luck. Any suggestions or did taking apart to clean possibly damage something?

    To others with the same problem.
    I did the fan clean and put it back together only to find the trackpad was not working.  I opened it up again (this time only from the keyboard end, and lo and behold, there was a small connector that I had overlooked and not connected back - probably because when I removed the back, it had come out of its own accord, and I hadn't clocked that it needed to be reconnected.
    You can access the trackpad connector vie the keyboard side of the laptop once you remove the keyboard.  It's quite small,but is accessible through a cut out part of the plastic underside.
    Once reconnected you will probably need to reboot computer, especially if you only put it into hibernation to start with.  You may need to reinstall drivers, but I didn't have to.

  • Satellite A60-106 power up issue

    I have a A60 with a massive power up problem. It's a A60-106. The problem is that when i press the power button and it starts up great it wotks perfectly when i shut down and go back to it i have to press the power button about 50 times before it will power up the led light are on but nobody is at home.
    I have tried everything but no success when it works there is no problem, it runs great. I am a pc techy and can't get to the bottom of it.
    Can any one help?
    cheers

    Hi
    In this case its not easy to say why it occurs and what the problem can be. For me it sounds like something wrong with the power button contacts.
    But I can give you a precise answer.
    I dont know if your warranty is valid but if yes, so you should ask the ASP for the help. You shouldnt open the notebook because you will loose the warranty.

  • Satellite A60 will not mount drive UJDA760

    My Satellite A60's DVD/CD-ROM drive stopped working properly. It no longer could read DVD-ROMs, a serious problem because the recovery disk is a DVD-ROM.
    Recently I bought a replacement drive, same model number as the old drive. But when I installed it, the computer didn't recognize the drive. The drive has power and spins disks. The computer just doesn't know it is there.
    Anyone have any idea of what can be done to encourage the computer to see the drive? I have updated the BIOS to the latest version but that didn't help.
    I appreciate any suggestions.
    Phil Prime

    Hi Phil Prime,
    Is the old drive recognized in BIOS properly?
    Im not sure but certain drives have a jumper on the backside where the connector is. There you can change between Master, Slave and Cable Select. Please set the jumper to Master and if its not working, try Slave mode.
    In worst case the new drive is faulty and you should send it back to shop and ask for a replacement.

  • Satellite L300 - Wireless not working at all

    Hi everyone,
    Im new here and my name is Jodie. My husband and I bought new laptops a couple of weeks ago, the Satellite L300.
    On my husbands one the wireless just stopped working, the switch is on but no light is on. I've tried FN and F8 is says the wireless is not working. I then checked in the device manager under netwrok adapters to see if it said the same as mine and the Wireless Adapter has vanished? It's the Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Netwrok Adapter.
    Can anyone help? Can't bellieve this has happened and they are only 2 weeks old :(
    Thanks Guys
    Jodie

    >Can't bellieve this has happened and they are only 2 weeks old
    I understand what you mean but if you check this forum and all questions here your problem is not so complicated. You cannot even imagine which problems people have with notebooks. Sometimes I ask myself what people do with notebooks. :)
    Back to your problem: Jodie if there is no way to get WLAN to work I recommend you to use most radical but most effective way to test WLAN functionality install OS again using HDD recovery image. After doing this you will have factory state and all hardware components should be installed properly.
    Enable WLAN using WLAN switch, be sure WLAN is enabled with FN+F8 and scan the area.
    It must work.

  • Small Liquid Spill on MBP Keyboard... Now not working. Any Help?

    I recently spilled a very small amount of liquid on my MBP keyboard (~3 drops), and now the keyboard does not work at all. Any diagnoses or solutions?? I really can't seem to believe that such a small amount of liquid could damage it so much, but maybe I'm missing something! Thanks in advance!

    What you are seeing happens when the ambient light level is bright enough so the Mac judges that you don't need keyboard backlighting. If you don't agree and want backlighting anyway, download and install [Lab Tick|http://labtick.proculo.de> to gain full manual control over it.

  • Customized keyboard shortcuts for microsoft Word not working

    Hi,
    My Macbook Pro retina 15' with an updated Yosemite iOS 10.10.1 has an american keyboard. I am trying to create keyboard shortcuts for brazilian accent marks to use in Microsoft Word. I went to "system preferences", "keyboard", "shortcuts", "App Shortcuts", added Microsoft Word and, for the brazilian accent mark " ˜ ", which in the original keyboard is obtained with "option+n", I set the shortcut "option+left arrow".
    It just does not work. I created other shortcuts for other brazilian accent marks with the other arrows + control but none of them worked.
    Can anyone tell me what went wrong?
    Thanks!

    Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
    fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!
