P855 S5200 Keyboard

My keyboard does NOT work when I get to my login screen -- but if I restart the computer then it works... What the.....???????

Try the following, Karl.
1. Open Device Manager, double click on Keyboards, right click the Internal Keyboard and click Uninstall. Restart computer and the Keyboard driver will be automatically reinstalled.
2. If that doesn't cure your problem, do a System Reset. Turn off computer. Remove all attachments and battery. Press and hold the Power button for 15 seconds. Attach Power and insert battery. Start computer and tap F2 at the Toshiba splash screen to get in BIOS. Press F9 to setup system defaults. Answer Yes. Press F10 to Save Configuration Changes and Exit. Answer Yes to complete the process. The computer will restart.

CD/DVD will not boot up for P855-S5200 Toshiba Satellite laptop - Rude Tech Support

Hello. Has anyone else tried changing the boot device order on this computer, only to find that their laptop boots right up to Win 7? I pressed F12 just like it states in the manual (and then pressed F2 to enter setup). I changed the boot order so that the CD/DVD boots first and even went as far as to have the HDD boot last. I saved changes and rebooted. To no avail, it still boots right up to Win 7. So I called Toshiba tech support for assistance. The tech support(less) rep was real quizzical wanting to know why I wanted to boot from my CD/DVD. There are different programs that I have on CD that boot directly before the OS (for example, I like change things up a bit and run Linux once in a while). For some reason this guy didn't like that I wanted to boot off my CD/DVD from my laptop. Frankly, he didn't buy the computer and it doesn't matter what or why I want to boot from a CD/DVD. It's a brand new computer that does not function properly. I called Toshiba Tech support to fix a flaw in the computer that was sold to me. Anyway, I was trying to explain but he kept cutting me off and was very rude. He told me that since I have followed procedure in the manual correctly, that I'd have to go to Toshiba's Advanced Technical Support for a fee. REALLY?! One of the simplest procedures that I have performed on every box I have ever owned, and this guy didn't have a clue to make it happen on a new machine. Instead offering any more explanation than Advanced Technical Support, that rep just hung up on me. Evidently his tech support training consisted of trying to squeeze more money out of the consumer after the purchase. Swing and a miss Toshiba. So, if anyone has had similar issue with not being able to boot directly off CD/DVD (especially if there's a work around) I'd really appreciate it. If not I'll probably go to Best Buy and they can keep this Toshiba. Thanks.

C.B., You assumed correctly as I did use F5/F6 to move the devices up/down until my CD/DVD was at the top. I tried going in and using HWSetup. As soon as I ran HWSetup - it just confirmed that my earlier selection was already present (CD/DVD in first position). I also tried pressing C as you suggested but that did not work either.
I appreciate your input. I have one more shot at Best Buy to see if the Geeks can solve this dilemma (which I doubt). I may just throw up a video on YouTube to show the BIOS failure of this system.
It's too bad, I used to love Toshiba until this incident. I have a Toshiba laptop from 2004 that is still kicking (and it does boot from CD/DVD). I have even spilled a 1 gallon jug of water all over it - and it came back to life after it dried. I don't know if all P855-S5200s are like this or if I just got a POS. That coupled with the fact that I had deal with that less than knowledgeable and extremely rude tech support rep. Because of the those factors, I will take my computing dollars elsewhere.
Hey Toshiba....are you paying attention??

Faint clicking sound from P855-S5200

I bought this laptop yesterday and have noticed a faint clicking sound happening randomly. It is not coming from my speakers. It is really annoying. I called tech support and the person tried to explain that this is just the laptop was made and if I was to get rid of it, it would make my computer really slow. I do not understand how the sound and the speed are related but none the less, I want this sound gone. I am ready to return this laptop and not ever buy a toshiba ever again because this sound is driving me crazy. I have googled this issue and apparently it is a common issue which makes me wonder why there is not a solution to this issue yet. If anyone knows how to get rid of it please let me know! Thank You!

Maybe THIS is the problem.

Realtek wireless driver will not install on Satellite P855-S5200

I had to reload win 7 home premium from scratch. Everything but the wireless driver will install. The LAN Driver is a Realtek so I am assuming the WLAN is a Realtek also. I have tried each of the drivers listed in the download section with no success.
Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this?
Thanks!!!

No , ! on the detailed specs of the NB you need to get the Intel wireless drivers .

Update bios on satellite p855 s5200 and it wont start

please i need help
my laptop is almost new
and i receive a message telling me about some update for the bios
and i uopdate it
and now the laptop doesn't turn on please heeeelp

Thanks to an online post I was able to recover from an unstartable situation. And no help from Toshiba on the problem that they started.
Here is the fix that worked for me:
"The workaround I have found is to change the Boot speed setting in Bios to "normal" instead of the default "fast"
To get to the System BIOS
Press and hold the F2 button, then power on the Unit. That should bring up the BIOS, from there you should see a setting under the Advanced tab called boot speed, just set it to normal and you should be able to load windows normally.

FlashCards will not load on startup

My functions keys stopped working because I disabled their start up with the system but when I re anbled the entry it still refuses to start. What can I do to have it load with windows again?

CB is correct that on many models the Flash Cards are controlled by the TVAP. But, some models, like your model, have a separate Toshiba Flash Card Utility (TFCU). You need install both programs in that order TVAP then TFCU.
Download to your desktop and double click to install these 2 utilities in this order, reboot after installing each one.

Toshiba Flash Cards Support Utility
If the 'Flash Cards' don't appear at the top of the screen when you hit the 'Fn' key, then click the 'Start' button and type the word flash in the search field. In the programs that appear at the top, you should see 'Restart Flash Cards' and 'Settings for Flash Cards'. First, click on 'Restart Flash Cards', then again click on 'Start' and type in the word flash in the search field. This time click on 'Settings for Flash Cards', and make sure there is NOT a check mark on 'Disable all function keys', click 'Apply' and 'OK'. Then try the Function key/Flash cards again.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

Toshiba satellite (laptop/tablet) stylus support

Satellite Pro L650-1QG: Keyboard button mismatch

Dear audience,
i am not satisfied with the keyboard-setting of my Satellite Pro L650 1QG I5-4.
Before I had a Satellite S5200-701 which worked well for almost 8 years after i have replaced almost any critical component at half-duration.
However, finally the Controller was out of order and last week the Laptop was not functioning anymore after this problem resided for half a year but the Laptop did not fail until last week which prompted me to install and use my new laptop.
I felt very comfortable with my old laptop and his settings.
However, the new laptop has an akward setting of its keyboards.
"ALT GR" is replaced with respect to my old keyboard and now the "CTRL" button has exactly the same position as on my old laptop so that it is possible that I write an "CTRL Q" when i liked to type "ALT GR Q" or "@" which happens quite often and shuts down the program (EXIT).
How can this problem be solved. Is it possible to get a fix? Either by replacing the CTRL-button with a deaf one or by changing the setup of the Computer?
I am not sure that I can adapt to this problem since any "normal" keyboard is different and looks like that of my old laptop and working with a USB-Keyboard is no solution!
Thanks, Headlost

I think there are no many options for youYou used a keyboard which supported a different layout the L650-1QG supports the 102(Euro) A4+10key flat standard black keyboard this might be different to the older Satellite 5200-701 keyboard.
Not sure if you could replace the keyboards because of the measures so maybe the one and only option for you is the usage of external USB keyboard which would be similar to Satellite 5200-701 keyboard

Satellite P855-10G runs out of battery even when turned off

Hi everyone,
I have bought the Toshiba Satellite P855-10G, but im terrified because he runs out of battery even when turned off..
Anyone knows how can i solve the issue?
Best regards,
Igor Tarelho

Hi
Access the BIOS and turn OFF the options like: Waking up on LAN and Keyboard.
In Toshiba HW Setup I recommend disabling the USB Sleep and Charge function as well
Both enabled options might allow discharging the battery even if the unit is OFF

Backlit keyboard with Ubuntu

I have a new Satellite Pro 770D laptop with an AMD processor and a backlit keyboard. The backlit keyboard works fine with Windows, but I installed Ubuntu Linux on top of Windows with their Wubi installer. It seems to work fine except the backlit keyboard does't work with linux. Can anyone help?

I have a Satellite P855 and the same problem. I have Ubuntu 12.10.
I have also other problems with the function-keys of the keboard.
Can someone help us?

Satellite P855-33X - canno past the first menu on Blu-Ray Disc Player

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P855-33X . Whenever I try to play a Blu-ray Disc (3d or 2d) on the Toshiba Blu-ray Disc player, I can never get past the first menu (either language selection or main menu depending on disc). I'm unable to click on the menu or use the keyboard to select the options on the menu, the bluray is unresponsive.
It has worked fine in the past so I'm wondering if there's been a recent update which could have made this an issue?
I have Windows 8, recently updated to 8.1.
Thanks for your help.

> I have Windows 8, recently updated to 8.1.
Im wondering if you have updated the Toshiba Blu-ray Disc player after the update from Win 8 to Win 8.1?
On the Toshiba EU driver page you will find all the Toshiba drivers tools and utilities for Win 8.1.
Usually after the Win 8.1 upgrade, the software should be updated as well.

How do I use Panorama / Tab Groups with the keyboard?

Yes I know that CTRL-SHIFT-E opens the panorama window, and then I can use the mouse to organize my tabs into groups.
But how do I do this with the keyboard?
I've [http://lifehacker.com/#!5719596/switch-between-tab-groups-in-firefox-with-a-keyboard-shortcut read] [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1705714 that] Ctrl-`should move me through tab groups. That doesn't work for me on my Danish keyboard. (Where the ' and ` chars are weird. But is how they are on a valid standard Danish keyboard) I've tried changing the keyboard to USA and then moving through tab groups works fine.
In short: Pretend I don't have a mouse. How do I use Panorama / Tab Groups?

Sorry. These are both known bugs:

On Screen Keyboard Glitch in Tablet Mode - On Screen Keyboard minimizes / disappears / slides down

Hi there -
New Yoga owner here ( just bought it yesterday) and within minutes of setting the computer up I noticed that the on screen keyboard was malfunctioning when the yoga is in tablet mode. Specifically, it pops up for about a second and then, without me touching or clicking or doing anything, it quickly slides back down. repeated attempts to bring up the keyboard end up, frustratingly, with the same result. what is perplexing to me is the on screen keyboard works fine in laptop mode (when I need it least).
Someone else already started a post on this BUT it was marked as 'solved' (which it wasn't) so I figured I'd start new thread. The solution on the previous thread was to simply 'refresh' windows to get rid of any new drivers that were downloaded since purchasing the yoga, but I did not download or update anything prior to this problem arising (as I said, the problem seemed to occur within a few minutes of turning the machine on for the first time). In any case, I tried the refresh and it did not work so clearly my problem is not that I downloaded an incompatible or faulty driver. Please Help! I love this machine and I'm trying to see past the other flaws I've noticed so far (subtle screen flickering, inconsistent touch sensitivity etc), but this issue is starting to really undermine my confidence in the product quality and, from a productivity standpoint, it is a real deal breaker to not have full tablet functionality.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problem with the disappearing virtual keyboard within hours of starting to use my new Yoga 13. I read somewhere that it was a problem with an incompatible Synaptics driver, and when I looked in the control panel, it showed that the Synaptics driver had been updated on my Yoga as of the day I bought it. I think somehow by agreeing to automatic updates of the software, the Synaptics driver is updated to an incompatible version. So what I did was I removed the Synaptics driver, using the Windows program uninstaller tool, rebooted, and then found the Synaptics driver at the Lenovo site which is specifically labelled as the Yoga 13 driver. I installed that, and the keyboard is now working fine.

NOT disabling keyboard/trackpad on tablet fold...

This is probably the opposite of user problems regarding the keyboard/trackpad and turning the Yoga Pro 2 in tablet mode... Here's the situation:
I'm a Java programmer and I'm sharing my files with my home PC, so I can work from my laptop or desktop easily without transferring files back and forth.
It's no fun adjusting my typing to multiple different keyboards for different PCs, and overall I tend to prefer a trackpad over a mouse for what I do which makes using my lenovo yoga keyboard ideal for everything (majority of wireless keyboards also aren't backlit).
I'm using the program Mouse without Borders (from the Microsoft website) so that I can use my lenovo yoga keyboard/trackpad on my desktop.
What I want to do: keep my keyboard and trackpad enabled when putting the yoga into tablet mode. I've already figured out how to disable the touchscreen for such uses, but the only way I know to keep the keyboard and trackpad active is to uninstall the synaptics driver/software. Obviously that isn't an ideal solution to have to install and uninstall it every time I switch between PCs.
Is there any way to stop synaptics from disabling the keyboard and trackpad when in tablet mode? Preferrably something such as disabling something in device manager, not uninstalling and reinstalling software depending my use for the moment.

Please provide more information.
First, I have no idea what "Jimi to Jimi" means. This is probably just something you need to explain to me; a Google search didn't turn up anything useful.
You said that the keyboard and trackpad aren't working right. What does this mean, exactly? Regardless, the monitor you use should have no effect on the function of your other peripherals.
