Satellite A200 with enter key stuck

Hello to all.
I own an A200 Satellite laptop and i have a very strange problem. The enter key is stuck. I have tested it with no keyboard at all but the key remains stuck. I also tested to unplug the touch panel and the function keys but still enter key is stuck !
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I agree. I checked for water damage but it seems clean. I just thought to post it in case anyone had the same problem before. Anyway thank you all for bothering read the post.
P.S. Where can i download a bios update from? Thank you.

  • Submitting form with Enter key

    Hello,
    in standard html form, when you have form with submit button, the enter key when any form element is selected submits the form.
    This is very convenient for users, so I want this with UIX forms. I know it is possible (I have one form where it is working), but I can't get it working anywhere else.
    This code works:
    <uix:form method="post" name="newRoleForm">
    <uix:inlineMessage prompt="Role name">
    <uix:textInput name="newRoleName" />
    <uix:spacer width="15" />
    <uix:submitButton text="Create" formName="newRoleForm" />
    </uix:inlineMessage>
    <uix:formValue name="jboEvent" value="newRole" />
    </uix:form>
    When I copy this code to another page, it does not work...
    Can somebody help, please?

    I've studied the HTML generated by UIX and it has following bugs and misfeatures:
    1. Misfeature: Submitting with Enter works ONLY if there is exactly one text field in the form (no submit button is actually needed), as Brian Stoler wrote. I don't understand reason for this.
    2. Bug: UIX generates javascript function "_submitOnEnter" which is called as event handler for "onKeyPress" event. But this function is erroneously generated multiple times, once for each form in the page. Browsers (Mozilla and IE) use the latest implementation. This function is different for forms with one text field and for forms with more text field, but only the first one can do the job. As a consequence of this, Enter can submit the form only if the last form on a page has single text field (which is for example not the case of search form with single field above another form...)
    Tested with UIX 2.1.7 in JDeveloper 9.0.3.3, using UIX as JSP tag library.
    Workaround:
    1. Use Opera browser: it submits form with enter key even if there is no submit button (this does not work for the first text field in the form, because it has "onkeypress" event handler).
    2. Implement this feature by hand yourself, if you really need it (see below).
    3. Use accessKey: allows to submit form with Alt+<key> combination (followed by Enter with IE).
    Implementing Enter key submits with Javascript:
    1. Put the following function to the header (or to javascript library):
    function enter(e, frm) {
    var kc;
    if(window.event) kc=window.event.keyCode;
    else if(e) kc=e.which;
    else return true;
    if(kc==13) {
    submitForm(frm,1);
    return false;
    Function copied from UIX (C).
    2. Add this event handler to each input element:
    onKeyPress="return enter(event, 'formName');"
    It is obvious that this is error prone, but it works with all browsers...
    Will this be fixed in future versions?
    Why only form with one text field can be submitted?

  • Strange issue with "Enter" key in Vista on Satellite P300-225

    A few weeks ago, I don't recall exactly when, Windows Vista on my Satellite P300-225 started to pass an incorrect scancode to applications when the Enter key is pressed. It always sends the scancode of the Keypad Enter key, even when I hit the one in the alphanumeric part of the keyboard. It did work correctly some time ago, but suddenly, it just started acting like this. No remapping of any keys.
    Since there are quite a few programs that act different on these two keys, this has become quite an annoying issue.
    The strangest part of it is, that the problem seems to be somehow related to Windows Vista, since the keys are correctly reported on Linux.
    If anybody has a clue, please, let me know.

    Yes, it almost certainly is a keymapping issue related to Vista. Reinstalling Vista isn't a way to go, it's not worth the effort (the recovery DVDs would comletely wipe out everything from my harddisk so I'd have to move all my data away and then restore, reinstall Linux et cetera). I'll give a try to uninstalling the keyboard in safe mode though.
    Anyway, it almost looks like some Windows update is responsible for this, since I have automatic updates enabled and it installs something everytime I boot it. I don't know about any program I installed before this happend that could possibly alter the mappings. (...and the registry key used for this is empty.)

  • How to connect my Satellite A200 with a Philips LCS TV?

    Hi, I have problems to connect my Satellite A200 1E1 with a Philips 32 PF9967D LCD-TV HD ready.
    The manuals recommend a HDMI extension that is unfortunately not availble with my Laptop.
    However, isn't is possible to use a S-Video connection instead? I could accept a reduced quality. When I connect the Laptop with the TV, I have the impression that the Satellite does not send any signal out. The "FN F5" combination does not show the opportunity to switch between the screens. Once I connected a beamer and had no problems at all with switching between beamer, laptop screen or both.
    Any comments would be highly appreciated, thanks a lot in advance.

    Hello
    In user manuals is written in almost each chapter about ports or slots a short comment: depending on configuration. That means that this users manuals can be used for different A200 notebook models.
    Every notebook delivered with HD-DVD optical disc drive has also an HDMI port. According the notebook specification your notebook has no HD-DVD ODD and because of that there is also no HDMI port.
    For TV-out there is sonly one port S-Video. Using this port you can send video signal to your TV. I have LCD TV too and I have used it many times with my A200 notebook. It is very simply but be sure you use the right channel (S-Video) on your TV. Using FN+F5 key combination you can switch to the TV.
    If this does not work you are doing something wrong.

  • Dual boot on Satellite A200 with Vista-XP?

    Computer details: *Satellite A200-PSAE6E...*
    The laptop came with Vista...I managed to install Windows XP (with new drivers etc...) and it' s working just fine *BUT* after reboot, even Acronis OSS doesn't recognize Vista anymore, and the computer boots directly to Win XP only. (I need both OS...)
    I'm searching many hours now instructions for *dual boot*, but everyone takes for granted that I have an Installation DVD for Vista... I don't!!!
    Toshiba came only with the Product Recovery CD, so all the instructions about MBR and the solutions that even Microsoft gives me (E:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 All........) it's useless!
    Is there anybody out there???
    Please....if you can give me any hint at all it would be.... just a miracle...thanx

    Hi,
    This isn't direct with your problem - but I was wondering if you would be able to help me? As like you I have just brought the same laptop, and there was no installation disk just the restore disk?! I am trying to open some applications in PowerPoint but it keeps asking for the product key, although I have put this in as it is on the base of the laptop, it is still stating it is wrong?!
    Have you had any problems with PowerPoint?
    Thanks

  • Can not use my Satellite A200 with TV

    Hi,
    sorry to bother you all with this - I recently purchased a Satellite A200-A1L and have been trying to connect it to my TV via s-video leads... I am not new to this and know how to set it up but I seem to be having problems doing it on this laptop.
    I have enabled the TV and set up everything to go but my TV will not pick up the signal or the signal is not being put out by the graphics card? My previous laptop worked fine with s-video and the same TV I still own (a 24" Sony Trinitron). I purchased this laptop to do the same but it seems that it will not work - is there anything you can do to help me please?
    Despite trying all the functions and reading in depth everything to do with the video outputs AND everything saying its running fine it just wont work HELP ME!!!
    PS: I am happy with the laptop in general it is a nice piece of kit, I am just unhappy that the s-video will not run properly.
    Kind regards, Lisa.

  • Submitting a form with enter key causing strange problems

    I am having a very strange problem with a webapp I am currently developing. I am using JSF 1.2 along with Facelets and RichFaces. I have coded a workflow/wizard 4-step process, and on some pages I have 4 submit buttons that all call different actions on the page. The users thought it would be useful to have the enter key submit the form, so I followed some online resources to trap a keypress using javascript, looking for the enter keycode and calling document.getElementById("elementName").click(). This works fine most of the time. Sometimes, though, it seems as if an entire new session is being created, and odd behavior starts happening. For example, my page will only include 2 of the 4 facelets on the screen -or- I will get NullPointerExceptions for objects that I know have been created in the session bean I am currently using -or- I will get a duplicate form Id after trying to re-submit the page. Could the javascript click simulation not be submitting all of the form elements or is the enter key also acting like its default action (the form submission) in addition to the "click"? I'm really at my wit's end here (plus it's nearly 3 AM, that never helps things). All of the buttons being clicked are standard h:commandButtons. There is some setTimeout logic included to disable the buttons on the page to prevent double clicks (I cannot disable them onsubmit because disabled buttons don't pass the right values, perhaps that's causing it, but if so, clicking the buttons with the mouse would cause that issue too, right?)
    I am not posting the code (yet), but if anyone wants to take a look see and see if I am doing something really abhorrently wrong, I'm more than willing to, I'm just curious if anyone has had problems regarding javascript submission of forms via the click() method. Clicking the button does not exhibit this type of behavior. Just as a side note: I am doing different things with the enter key depending if a modal window is open (the enter key closes the modal if it's up, and if not, it submits the form via a button click).
    Any help is much appreciated, if anyone has any inkling about where I should start looking for answers it would be really helpful.
    Thank you.

You need to suppress the event handling after programmatically clicking the button.

  • Problem with Enter key and JOptionPane in 1.4

    Hi,
    I had a problem with an application I was working on.
    In this application, pressing [Enter] anywhere within the focused window would submit the information entered into the form that was contained within the frame.
    The application would then try to validate the data. If it was found to be invalid, it would pop up a JOptionPane informing the user of that fact.
    By default, pressing [Enter] when a JOptionPane is up will activate the focused button (in most cases, the [OK] button) thus dismissing the dialog.
    In JDK 1.3 this worked fine. But in JDK 1.4, this has the result of dismissing the dialog and opping it up again. This is because the [Enter] key still works on the frame behind the JOptionPane and thus tries to validate it again, which results in another invalid dialog msg popping up.
    The only way to get out is to use the mouse or the Esc key.
    Now, in the application I put in a workaround that I was not very happy with. So, to make sure it wasn't the application itself, I created a test which demonstrates that it still misbehaves.
    Here it is.
    import java.awt.Container;
    import java.awt.FlowLayout;

         public static void main(String[] args)
              FocusProblemTest action= new FocusProblemTest();
              try
                   UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
              catch (Exception e)
                   e.printStackTrace();
              frame= new JFrame("Test");
              frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
              Container contents= frame.getContentPane();
              contents.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
              JTextField field= new JTextField("Test");
              field.setColumns(30);
              JButton  button= new JButton(action);
              KeyStroke enterKey = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0, true);
              button.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(enterKey, "test");
              button.getActionMap().put("test", action);
              contents.add(field);
              contents.add(button);
              frame.pack();
              frame.setVisible(true);
    }Does anyone have any solution to this problem?

    I know that focus management has changed alot.
    Based on my experimentation a while back, in 1.4 it still believes that the JFrame is the window in focus, even though a JOptionPane is currently in front of it (unless I misinterpreted what was going on). Thus, the frame seems to get the keyboard event and re-invoke the action.

  • Submit a Form in IE with Enter key.

    Hi all,
    I have a Form with a Get attribute, a textfield and a search
    (submit) button.
    When I press the Enter key in my keyboard, the form is not
    submited in I.E. (i'm using IE 7).
    When I click the button with the mouse, it works.
    In Firefox, all (keyboard and mouse) works.
    How can we workaround this issue?

  • Multi line field Navigation problem with ENTER key

    No trigger on the field. Multi line Property is set to true.
    The probleb is, when the cursor reaches in the multi line field. the contents of the field are hilighted/selected. So as it happens in Notepad or Word, if you select some already written text and press ENTER key the selected text will be replaced by carriage return so the selected data will be lost. Same is the case with multi line field. When field gets focus it selects the contents of field and when ENTER is pressed all the contents are deleted and a carriage return is placed.
    any solution?
    null

    Hi Nadeem,
    One work around is that you have store content of that multi-line field in to some other variable thru PRE-TEXT-ITEM and once again assign (based on some conditon) in POST-TEXT-ITEM.

  • Repeat last command with enter key in dbx

    I am using dbx 7.7 on Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 12.1). Is it possible to configure dbx so that pressing the <enter> key will always repeat the previos command? for instance, if i do one "next" command, i want consequent <enter> key-presses to do "next", until i explicitly execute a different command.
    Thanks,

    Hello Jean,
    Thanks for this advice, i started working with dbxtool and it's very nice.
    2 questions:
    1. The Function keys (F7, F8, etc.) don't work, any idea what could be the problem?There is a bug in the dbx cmdio window where it ignores F-key. It doesn't even have
    a decent context menu. You should be able to get F7 etc working by moving the
    focus elsewhere, like the editor window.
    2. In the default .dbxrc file there's a line "button ignore step up" to "add `step up' button to GUI", but no button was added. Is there anything else i should do to make this work?
    These are really old. (we should remove them from the default .dbxrc!)
    The current way to add a button is via Debug->NewDbxButton

  • Submit OA page with Enter key in custom page

    Hello All,
    I have one custom page with 20+ fields and two submit buttons to do different processing.
    On this page, if enter key is pressed then I need to submit the form i.e. invoke processing corresponding to one of the submit button.
    I know that at field level I can bind enter key event. But for that I need to write same code 20 times for all 20 fields.
    Do we have any simple way to implement submit if enter key is pressed in any of the fields?
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ritesh

    Hi Ritesh,
    Not sure but you will want to try implementing the method mentioned by Anil using "OAPageLayoutBean" to get the enter key handle for all the fields in a page.
    i.e. try with
    OAPageLayoutBean page = pageContext.getPageLayoutBean();
    Hashtable params = new Hashtable(); 
        params.put ("Go", "value1");
        page.setAttributeValue(OAWebBeanConstants.ON_KEY_PRESS_ATTR, new OABoundValueEnterOnKeyPress(pageContext,
                                          "DefaultFormName", // enclosing form name
                                          params, // request parameters
                                          false, // client unvalidated
                                          false)); // server unvalidatedinstead of
    OAMessageTextInputBean HelloName = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("HelloName");
             Hashtable params = new Hashtable(); 
             params.put ("Go", "value1");
             HelloName.setAttributeValue(OAWebBeanConstants.ON_KEY_PRESS_ATTR,
             new OABoundValueEnterOnKeyPress(pageContext,

                                          params, // request parameters

  • Problem with Enter key on Aluminum Keyboard

    Just upgraded to an Aluminum iMac with the thin keyboard. We have a terminal application that communicates with our mainframe. The application looks for the 0x03 character, along with the NSNumericPadKeyMask flag, to determine that the Enter key was pressed, and then changes the character to a 0x0d (Return). This is because the 0x03 character is recognized as a Break key on the mainframe. However, when using the Aluminum Keyboard, the Enter key goes straight through as a 0x03, meaning the flag is not being set. To make things more interesting, if I use the Keyboard Viewer and click on the Enter key, the flag is set and the 0x0d is sent.
    Is there something else I should be looking for to recognize the Enter key? Perhaps something with the KeyCode? Is there some way to remap the Enter key to emulate the Return?

    I don't think you'll be able to control a Button symbol in the way you desire.  You probably need to create it as a MovieClip so that you can control what frame it is in.
    To utilize the ENTER key to take action, the following should work...
    var keyListener:Object = new Object();
    keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
        if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
             // do your button_mc control here
    Key.addListener(keyListener);
