L505D-S5965 Keyboard quit working when "Bios not ACPI" message appeared

I have a laptop that the keyboard will not work.  I get the "BIOS is not ACPI Compliant" message even though I have updated the bios to the latest available version.  As with other posts in the forums, I can press F2 to get into the bios, but once there have no keyboard control (whether internal or external).  I have removed the internal keyboard and had just a USB keyboard, still keyboard is dead.  Again, I have seen a couple posts about this on this forum with no posted resolution.  Any help would be appriciated.

First, let's try a system reset. Power off the notebook, unplug everything from it including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds, next replace the battery and the AC, then power on, as soon as you see the Toshiba logo press 'F2' to enter BIOS setup, in setup try to press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit. If the keyboard still won't work in setup to press 'F9' and 'F10', try this operation again, with an external keyboard.
Assuming you can complete this operation, but it still does not resolve your problem, try powering off, remove the AC and battery, then try removing both RAM modules, next replace one module in a different slot, replace the battery and AC, and try it again. Repeat as necessary to try to find a bad RAM module and/or bad slot. See page 52 of your Satellite® L500 Series User’s Guide on how to access and remove RAM modules.
Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

  • Keyboard doesnt work after BIOS flash Not even in BIOS!

    I have a touchsmart tx2 1224-ca, I updated to the recent BIOS, using windows 7, and now my keyboard wont work at all, not even in the post screen, or bios. Though the computer does work with my usb keyboard plugged in. Im extremely frusterated at this becuase I got the flash from HP themselves and It screwed it over.

    Hello Thewierd1,
     After flashing the BIOS the keyboard no longer functions, is that correct? I will try to help you with this issue.
    Try restore storing the BIOS, you may have to use the 2nd method if the USB keyboard doesn’t work for you.
    Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
    Thanks

  • Helix keyboard stops working when dock battery reaches 3%

    My other post has more details but the title says it all. My Helix keyboard stops working when dock battery reaches 3% even though the tablet battery has a charge. This seems to happen every time. A hard reset of the dock gets the keyboard working again. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    This is my daughter's college computer so I have not used it. I just get the panic call when it locks up.
    Is there any way to get a warning when the battery is low? I assume that it has a light on the base but I can see how she could miss it when focused on what she is doing. I am not sure it comes on since the tablet battery still has capacity. I find it odd that this happens when the tablet battery still has a decent amount of charge. Effectively it eliminates a fair amount of the battery capacity available for the computer.
    I have other electronics that force you to shut done at low battery levels. I am surprise that a high end laptop performs this way.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Account not verified message appears when I click iCloud

    account not verified message appears when I touch the iCloud button on my iPad mini - the only clickable option is 'delete this account' and when clicked the apple sign in appears - kind of a do loop. Any ideas on how to activate the iCloud feature on my iPad mini?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

    I am having trouble downloading apps onto my iPad2.  When I try a message appears " not enough local storage this can be managed in settings.". I ave tried by deleting unused apps, but the same message appears.  How can I resolve this ?  Help needed pleas.

    Try rebooting the iPad as well. You might be getting an inaccurate reading and rebooting might clear that up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Hi, as the forum topic title says: iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store, I guess this the right place to ask !!!
    Anyway I already tried to contact the developer. Page's link does not bring anywhere. no site, no contact mail :(:( it seems Apple bought a App from some... Ghost. And,  worst, now the App disappeared from ITunes Store and.... Apple support (at least by email) just mistalk about it giving no solution at all. I really guess who reply mails is a f...g computer trying analyzing the question and trying give solution. Coz their emails are always confusing or talking about sth else than my troubleshooting.
    Anyway... Ok... I just hope have at least my money back.
    Bye

  • Bought Lion online, downloaded, when finished an error message appeared and 3,7GB vanished... Anyone with a similar experience???

    Bought Lion online, downloaded, when finished an error message appeared and 3,7GB vanished... Anyone with a similar experience???

    All I know is that once it is installed it is erased, the Lion Installer is erased from the applications folder.
    You won't have to pay for it again if you have to download again. Remember to move it out of the applications folder, then you can trash it when you are ready or even burn a startup DVD.
    My knowledge comes from two e-books you can get here

    and the one about using lion.

  • Bluetooth keyboard stops working when i plug in my iphone 5

    Hi All...
    Heres a question from the twilight zone where strange things happen.
    My Hardware/Software used:
    - iMac OSX 10.9.2
    - Mac wireless Keyboard
    - Logitech mouse performance MX
    - iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
    - iPhone 5 v7.1 (11D167)
    I plug in my iPhone via USB cable, and iTunes pops up.. it detects the iphone but not 100% as it just hangs... then out of nowhere, the keyboard stops working as it looses its connection, the only way to restore the connection is to reset the iMac.
    Any ideas?

  • Having to wait for Trackpad and Keyboard to work when waking from sleep, any solutions?

    I have a 2012 MBP 13" base model (OSX 10.8.2) and when I first brought it was really fast at waking from sleep (lid being closed) and the trackpad and keyboard would work instantly. Now I'm having to wait 20+ seconds before I can do anything with the trackpad or keyboard. It usually happens after the mac has been asleep more than an hour, any solutions to this problem?

    I'm having exactly this issue. I have a 15" MacBook Pro SR as well. It's happened four or five times since I installed Leopard yesterday. The trackpad works but the keyboard is completely dead. Also, choosing "Restart..." from the Apple menu doesn't work, as other apps fail to quit and (if I quit them with the trackpad) I get an error that the finder has failed to quit. As with JGB5, this happens after the MBP wakes from sleep -- sometimes resleeping/reawakening it fixes it, but sometimes the keyboard dies a couple of minutes afterwards anyway, and a restart is required.

  • Wireless keyboard stops working when some keys adobe photoshop is open and being used.

  • External Mouse and Keyboard Stop Working When X220 is Docked and Screen is Closed

    I have an X220 with a docking station, external monitor and external keyboard/mouse.  When I start the laptop from a cold boot and it's docked, my external mouse and keyboard work fine with the screen open or closed.  
    If I undock and redock with the screen closed, the external keyboard doesn't work and the mouse cursor moves, but the mouse buttons don't do anything.  If I open the screen, then the keyboard and mouse work fine.
    I've swapped the keyboard and mouse and still have the same problem, so it's not the kb/mouse.  This is a brand new X220 and the issue has been occurring since it was purchased.
    Any thoughts?

    hey mhambalek,
    hard to say what's going on, though i would recommend heading to http://support.lenovo.com , do a full update of your unit.
    also, if the external keyboard & mouse & monitotor is connected to your unit without the docking station, does the same thing happen?
