Satellite 1130-Z31: Keyboard constantly prints "1"

I own a Satellite 1130-Z31 and have the problem that the "1" key is stuck. For example it constantly prints "1111111111..." ad infinity.
This is the result of a fluid spill which happened about 9 months ago. Up until yesterday the keyboard didn't have this problem though.
I'd like to either clean or exchange the keyboard (or its conductive foils) but need instructions on how to do it. Suppliers of replacement keyboards seem to be mainly in the US, hence I'd be happy if Toshiba has a spare part distributor in Sydney as well.
Thank you for your help!
Cheers,
Jens

Hi R2D2 and Andrej,
thanks for your help. By looking at guides of other Toshiba notebooks describing how to disassemble the keyboard I could figure out how to remove mine, that part's solved. All I need now is a (used, good idea!) keyboard.
Does anyone know where I can look up the correct part number? I contacted a US-based ASP but they were "unable to confirm a compatible parts listing for [my] machine". If they can't, who can? The full notebook number is PS113E-1Y13S-GR/S1130-Z31 (German model, but I don't mind a US keyboard since I'm in Australia).
Cheers,
Jens

  • Satellite 1130-Z31: Cannot get 1600x900 on second monitor

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 1130-Z31 (old one, but still works well).
    Now i have attached a second monitor with a native resolution of 1600x900 pixels.
    I have set the resolution of the second monitor to 1600x900, this is accepted.
    However, the image on the second monitor looks ugly, and the external monitors OSD says it gets 1440x900 pixel signals from the laptop.
    It seems that the Toshiba sends an image with a lower resolution than set.
    I have installed the latest graphics driver - no change.
    Or could this be a problem with a poor quality VGA cable or so?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Turtle

    Hi
    Unfortunately I was not able to find info which resolutions are supported for external displays but if you cannot get 1600x900 pixels that mean that this resolution is not supported by graphic card.
    Which video port do you use? VGA 15 pin port maybe?

  • Which Mini-PCI card for Satellite 1130-Z31?

  • Satellite 1130-Z31: I need a graphicdriver update

    Hello.
    I've got a big problem with my graphiccard and the drivers. While playing games (for example Guild Wars) my notebook shut down every less minutes. After restart windows snd errormessages and the result means there was an error in graficdriver and i should download the latest driverversion but i have the latest.
    need help- are there maybe alternative drivers for the Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller? i don't know.
    please help.

    Hi
    In my opinion you should check the unit if there is much dust inside and clean it properly that the unit can take a breath. As far as I know this unit has not the best graphic performance and you should maybe put down all graphic settings to low.
    Like Debora said check which DirectX version is installed on your unit. It will be interesting to know if here is the same problem playing some other games with lower graphic request.

  • Taking apart a Satellite 1130-z24

    How do I take apart the TOSHIBA SATELLITE 1130-z24?
    It has a lot dirt (brown cotton wool like stuff) inside which the hoover can't get rid of (as its to far in), but i want to take it apart clean the fluff, re-assemble it and use the laptop.
    I took all the screws out (i could see) under the laptop it but still no joy, the case will not come apart.
    Down loaded the user manual but that doesn't tell you how to do this.
    Is there a technitions manual i can down load so it can tell me how to safely take it apart.

    Hi
    The disassembling manuals cannot be downloaded from the Toshiba page.
    I didnt find any and I assume such manual are created just only for a Toshiba authorized service partners and are not released for public usage.
    Maybe you will find some picture or details in the internet. Google is your friend always ;)
    But generally speaking, its really tricky to disassemble the notebook and I would not recommend doing this if you dont know how to proceed.
    From my knowledge on most notebooks the keyboard must be removed firstly because there could be some screws which secure the other parts and covers.
    Sorry but I cannot provide more details because the Satellite 1130-z24 is not known to me

  • Satellite 1130 can not install OS

    I have a satellite 1130. It got dropped a few weeks back and then refused to work. I have obtained a new main board from E-Bay, but after installing, although the system now powers up, the BIOS is Japanese. Some of the keyboard controls do not work either, mainly the direction arrows, so I cannot go through the BIOS to see if I can change the language.
    I have tried updating the BIOS, with a bootable CD, as the system has no floppy drive, but keep getting told invalid product ID. The system originally had Win XP, but I cannot get it to boot, because I presume its a new main board that the install of XP does not recognize. I cannot install XP, as I cannot change the boot sequence, it always tried to boot from the HDD, although if I take out the HDD, it will boot from my XP CD.
    If I took the HDD out and formatted it in my desktop system, and then installed it black, would it try and boot from the CD, if it doesnt find a valid OS. If so will English copy of XP work, even if its a Japanese BIOS, and if I can get it to install, can I flash the BIOS to an English version through windows?
    Many Thanks
    Chris

    Hi
    In my opinion this is only one way to solve this issue.
    Unfortunately, you need the external FDD to update the BIOS.
    After BIOS updating you can change the booting frequent.
    Please check this Toshiba FAQ How to update the BIOS on this unit.

  • How to open Satellite 1130 ?

    hello,
    some milk has dropped into the rearpanel of my laptop satellite 1130.
    till then, the laptop does not boot. After pressing the on-button, green light infront of the computer flashes for a moment and nothing happens.
    now I need a manual to open it. Anybody here to help me ?
    regards
    rainer

    Hi
    Well, it seems its an oldie because I dont found any informations or picture which could be useful.
    But I think to open the notebook the keyboard removing is needed.
    Usually the notebooks have a small, thin cover about the keyboard. Under this cover you should find 2 screws which secure the keyboard.
    Additionally some screws secure the covers at the bottom of the unit.
    But if you have no experience in such procedure try to ask someone with more experience or an technician.

  • Satellite 1130-Z24,system has stopped working altogether

    Hi
    My system has stopped working altogether, since it was dropped, only from a small distance though. When connected to AC power, the light work, so I suspect power is getting to it, and I suspect I have damaged either the motherboard or power supply, but I am hoping something simple. Has anybody any manuals showing how to dismantle the satellite 1130, or any other suggestions.
    Kind Rgrds
    Chris

    Hello Chris
    Unfortunately there is no official document how to disassemble/assemble your Satellite. In my opinion the best solution is to contact service partner in your country.
    I am pretty sure that they can help you. Who knows which hardware part is damaged.
    Good luck!

  • My USB ports will not recognize any devices, iPhone or external drives. Keyboard and printer work, any suggestions?

    My USB ports will not recognize any devices, iPhone or external drives. Keyboard and printer work, any suggestions?

    I'd start by looking in system profiler.
    the blue Apple icon > About this Mac > More info...
    goto the hardware section. Scroll down and click on  USB
    See what happens when you have the device plugged in & not plugged in.
    Move keyboard & mouse around to verify that ports work. Plug device in a port that worked with keyboar or mouse.  Keyboard usb ports are rather low power.
    Perhaps device is taking too much power.  Are devices power or unpowered?  Try connecting devices to a usb hub.
    Which mac do you have?
    What iMac do you have?

  • Satellite 1130-Z23 W-Lan Card installation

    Hi!
    I have a Mini PCI W-LAN Card fr my Satellite 1130-Z23, now i have 2 cables, one black and one white. I have to put them in the righ adapter on the Card.
    Which ist the right one for AUX and the right one for MAIN?

    I have also googled a bit and have seen the black going into the main- see the picture:
    http://nucleus.seindal.dk/media/1/20041027-pa260006.jpg
    Ok, in order to avoid confusion see how the antennas are placed BEHIND of the TFT screen:
    They start from the minipci place:

    This is how the antenna cables look like when not installed on the TFT housing:

    And this, when they are installed: One to the left, and one to the right:

  • Satellite 1130-Z25 - missing recovery disk

    Hi all,
    my Satellite laptop needs to have Windows XP Home repaired/reinstalled and I'm missing the recovery disk.
    A friend used his recovery disk to reinstall WinXP but it doesn't accept my licence key.
    Can anyone suggest what I should do next?

    Hi
    Usually the serial key which could be found at the bottom of the unit does not work with the other Windows operating systems.
    The key belongs to the OS which is a part of the Toshiba image
    If you need an Recovery CD try to contact the ASP in your country to get a new compatible CD for you Satellite 1130-Z25.
    But note; As far as I know if the notebook series is too old then you will be not able to order such CD due to some restrictions.
    In such case you will need to buy an original Microsoft Windows OS to install it on the notebook.
    Then you could use the Toshiba drivers from the Toshiba European driver page

  • Damaged Satellite 1130 screen

    I'm in need a of a replacement screen for a Toshiba Satellite 1130.
    The damaged one is a 15" Sharp LQ150X1LHA2.
    Is the screen from a Satellite 1135-S1553 compatible?
    Thanks for any help

    Hi
    As far as I know 1135 must be an US model but the display should be the same. If you want call the service partner in your country to be sure about that.

  • Blank screen when powering up a Satellite 1130

    I bought a second hand Satellite 1130 laptop not too long ago and it worked fine for a while but then it died on me......When I power up the laptop the power light on the front lights up but nothing else. The laptop knows it is switched on as the DVD Drive scans for a disc and the cooling fan starts up but nothing else happens. The screen remains blank and I cannot do anything with it. When it was working I noticed when it was powered up the hard drive light on the front of the laptop used to blink a few times then it would load the operating system. THIS LIGHT DOES NOT EVEN COME ON ANYMORE. This made me think it may be the hard drive that had died but I was told that if that was the case the laptop screen would have at least a curser in the top left hand corner of the screen and it would be waiting for a command from the user.
    ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRIECIATED............

    Youre right. It does not seem to be a HDD malfunction.
    If the HDD is corrupt you will see a Toshiba splash screen or with some informations about memory, CPU, etc Then it should try to boot up from the HDD.
    In your case I think there could be a motherboard malfunction.

  • Satellite 1130 does not power up correctly

    Recently my Toshiba Satellite 1130 Laptop is playing up...
    It will not boot up fully and after many many attempts at rebooting finally got it to boot to xp only to have it shut itself down again.
    Pressing and holing the powr on button for a few seconds starts up the laptop but how far it gets into the boot up sequence varies (only twice has it booted to Xp then shut down again)
    I have tried with just Battery, Just AC, Ac & Battery.
    The problem is recent and nothing has happened to the laptop to cause a problem ...
    Can anyone help?

    > Recently my Toshiba Satellite 1130 Laptop is playing up... It will not boot up fully and after many attempts at rebooting finally got it to boot to xp only to have it shut itself down again.
    You mean the notebook shuts down automatically without any warnings?
    Hmm the notebook is an oldie and your descriptions sounds like an overheating issue
    In many cases the notebooks shut down because the internal temperature is too high.
    The reasons could be different but mostly the ventilators and cooling grilles are clogged and dust prevents the fans from properly working.
    I think that you could try to clean the ventilators using a compressed air spray.
    You could buy such spray from different computer dealers
    Then clean the ventilators and check if the issue would still persist.
