Keyboard on Sat Pro 6100 doesn't work properly after remedial work

Hi,
My Sat Pro 6100 has just been away for the usual motherboard and power board replacement with Toshiba, but now I have a strange keyboard problem.
When I turn it on, all the keys work. After a few minutes, '3' doesn't work, then 'r' fails, then '5','7','8','9','0' stop working. At this stage I can feel something getting very hot under the middle of the keyboard. A reboot and no keys work. Another reboot with an external PS2 keyboard, and the internal keyboard is still faulty (some keys work, others don't) but the external one works correctly.
Now if the pc didn't get so hot under the middle of the internal keyboard, then I would conclude that the keyboard was faulty, but for it to fail slowly and sequentially like this, and it fails the same way every day (Since the Toshiba rebuild!).
Maybe, internal keyboard controller overheating?
Does anyone know what this might be? :-(
Cheers,
Homer

Right under the keyboard of your pro 6100 is the VGA graphics controller (the keyboard cable plugs into the same card). It is normal that this part becomes warm during usage.
It's strange that your problem appears after a while and not right away.
It might be just an improper reseating of the keyboard cable (it's a thin layer like a photo film-negative) that easily pops out, but... it can be something more serious, too. (Especially since you had the upgrade done where hardware had to be changed)
I would consult the service center once again and ask for instructions how to deal with this. Don't ignore it (by using an external keyboard instead of the malfunctioning internal) as it might end up into something more serious soon...

  • RTC battery & Sat Pro 6100

    Sorry for my bad english.
    If the battery cmos of a notebook (I have a sat Pro 6100) is damaged completely, the portable one is ignited equally?

    Hi Biagio,
    The RTC (or CMOS) battery is installed on the mother-board and is used to maintain the BIOS settings when the notebook is powered off. If the RTC battery is faulty then the date/time and other BIOS settings will not be maintained when the notebook is powered off for any length of time.
    The normal notebook battery will be unaffected by the failure of the RTC battery and will still recgarge as normal when the notebook is connected to a mains power supply.
    The RTC battery can be charged by connecting the mains power supply but leaving the notebook powered off for about 24 hours. If the date/time is still being lost after this then the RTC battery will need to be replaced by an authorised Toshiba Service Agent.

  • My palm m105's touch screen doesn't work properly after a sync.

    I dug out my old m105, put new batteries in and start it. On first launch it auto runs the alignment tool, and after touching all the points it goes to the main screen and works fine. No problem till here.
    Now, I plug it into my old computer which still has the palm software with my apps, and I run the sync operation (from the palm device sync manager, cause I lost my cradle and I'm connected via the serial cable), and it syncs fine BUT, here comes the problem, when it finishes the sync (successfully) the touch screen is all misaligned. I can't go back to the home screen or do anything useful.

    Let's help solve this mystery together! Is your screen freezing after every reboot? Is there any physical/liquid damage on the device? When did this issue begin? Did you notice this after a recent update or application download?

  • Aluminum Wireless Keyboard not working properly after Firmware update 1.1

    Hi,
    Well, as the subject says, my keyboard is not working properly after I updated the firmware. The problem is that several keys (delete, down arrow, brackets and apostrophe) stopped working right after I installed the update. I never dropped it or hit it. And I did not stop or interrupt or did anything during the install. I take very good care of it.
    I have already tried toubleshooting with the support page, restarting the iMac, taking off the batteries, setting it up with bluetooth again, going back a week with time machine and to reinstall the firmware. So, if you have something new for me to try, I will really apreciate it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Franco.

    I have 24" iMac with the Apple wireless M&KB - I know this is basic but have you tried a fresh set of batteries? My KB will refuse to establish connection when batteries are on the weak side the firmware update may just be a co incidents. If your wireless mouse is working OK then I would guess the blue tooth is functioning.
    Not sure about the 10.49 download - are your other file downloads completing properly? Are there any error messages?

  • Asha 501 : Whatsapp not working properly after 14....

    Hi,
    whatsapp is not working properly after software update, some times contacts never sync. screen goes pale and chat window doesn't show properly.
    Looks like memory problem after the new  updates or anything else?

    Similar complains around the web. I'd recommend getting the phone flashed at a care point to see if that improves the situation.
    Do wait for a couple of weeks for the full firmware files to be available at the respective care centers. AFAIK, they are not yet available in India.

  • ITunes / iPhone not working properly after newest update...

    iTunes is not working properly after the newest update...  It dosen't see my iPhone, the program acts very sluggish, and has trouble loading the Store.  Anyone have a solution or an explanation?  I have tried the suggestions found in other threads ie. restart, re-download, charge phone, restart phone and so on. Nothing works.  Everything was working fine until iTunes and the new ios were installed.  After that it all went to crap.  Thanks, Randy...

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • I can't access to wi fi even though i have a good signal and the router is working properly (my laptop works perfectly)

    i can't access to wi fi even though i have a good signal and the router is working properly (my laptop works perfectly)

    Try rebooting the router and see if that helps. unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
    You can also try restarting your iPad. 
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Keyboard information needed for Sat Pro 6100

    Hi, i have a Satellite Pro 6100 model number PS610E-03SKV-EN
    I have damaged my keyboard and need to replace it and i was wondering if anybody knew what is the part number that i need for my laptop to replace my keyboard.
    Thank you

    Thank you for the advice about the German Keyboard, I shall know to definitely avoid buying one in the future. I was interested in this item because it was a white keyboard in my part number and i would have liked a white or different colour keyboard. I didn't win the auction anyway so i am not going to be disappointed there.
    My keyboard from America has arrived and i am disappointed by it slightly. I do wish that i never bought it now. Even though i got it very cheap the delivery cost me $40 dollars because i had to ship to a friend and then she shipped it out to me. What i am dissappointed by is the fact that this keyboard does not even have sign on it and neither does it have a euro sign either. I am not going to install it myself but i am also going to be on the look out for a UK keyboard now because i am not so happy with this one. I find it very odd that a symbol was not on this keyboard.
    I have removed keys number 3 and 4 from my current keyboard and placed them on my new one but this has meant that things are going to be messed up and this means that i will be without a hash key now as well so i do think that a UK keyboard would be better for me.
    There were other things different as well.The space bar is longer on this keyboard part that i bought and it only has three keys beside the space bar on my right hand side and it has not got a Alt Gr key but two Alt keys. I am thinking that there may have been something not quite right with the keyboard.
    The parts number of this item that i purchased is -PS610U-03SR17 as listed on the auction and underneath the keyboard is part number-
    UE2027P22
    I hope that this will be even compatible with my laptop and be able to handle the spec that my laptop has such as the hotkeys etc if i do decide to use it.
    The one that i bought does look very similar to this one.

  • Touchpad doesn't work properly after using of mouse.

    On my macbook air I usually use touchpad only. But I use mouse to play games.
    Sometimes when I do it, then exit the game, touchpad stops to work properly.
    Mainly it works like usual, I can open files, close windows, follow links in Safari. But I can not close tabs (the x-mark doesn't apper). Also I can't select text with touchpad (only one work, by double clicking). Also I can't open sites via top sites panel, by clicking on them - only with keyboard. Probably there more small, but unpleasant things?
    What can I do?
    Reboot does help, but I don't want to reboot each time I play a game...

    If you installed any software to work with the mouse, remove it according to the developer's instructions, then restart the computer and test. Back up all data before making any changes.

  • 2008 Macbook pro left click not working properly after upgrading to 10.6.8

    I have a 2008 Macbook pro and a few months ago after upgrading to 10.6.8 my left click has been wonky.
    Using the trackpad the left click eventually gets "stuck" or stops responding and I have to push it multiple times before it does anything.  I have tried plugging in a mouse, but when I do so the mouse also behaves the same way.  The only way I seem to be able to get the clicking to work properly is to restart the computer with the mouse attached.
    I have seen threads about trackpads being messed up by swollen batteries, but my battery is brand new and looks fine, and the clicking problem extends to an external mouse, so I believe it is something with the preferences.
    I tried deleting  com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouchTrackpad.plist   and restarting and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then after about a half hour it returned.
    Having to keep a mouse plugged into my macbook is driving me crazy, anyone know a solution?

    I started having the same issue after update.  I'm on a MacBookpro running 10.7.2
    ICalled apple and they did a remove battery reboot, a reload lion and a option/command/R/P reboot on startup and then the computer started working.  Two days later problem was back.  I then did a reboot and the computer was back to working.  Today the computer worked fine tell it went to sleep.  I had to do a hard reboot to get the Mac up and running and now no left click.  Please help. I can not use the Mac  with the trackpad, a mouse, a Bluetooth mouse, or a digital pad. All so signs of left mouse click not working.  One other item when you go to pick your user at startup the left mouse click works.  Help!
