Satellite L100-113 - Changing BIOS without a keyboard

My keyboard is not working. The easy answer for the moment would be to use a USB keyboard, except that option is disabled in the BIOS.
Is there any way to change or reset the BIOS without a keyboard?

Hi
Try to boot the Windows OS and start the Toshiba Assist.
There you can find the Toshiba HWSetup. This tool contains some options which could be changed in BIOS too.
So I think there could be a option which enables the USB keyboard support.
I think this should be possible using the USB mouse.

  • Satellite L100-113 does not start after memory upgrade

    Hello.
    Our integrator bring to our company memory modules KVR800D2S5, but notebook doesn't start :(
    I read manual - this notebook supports 533 PC4200 memory modules.
    But SO-DIMM 533MHz will be delivered only in a month...
    What memory modules we can install to Toshiba L100-113?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I think the notebook does not power up due to a faulty or not fully compatible memory module.
    Please check this 3rd party memory website:
    [Memory for Toshiba Satellite L100-113|http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=22360&ft=m&st=3]
    As you can see the Satellite L100-113 memory can be upgraded up to 2GB (2x 1GB) and you have to use the DDR2 533MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM

  • Satellite C855D-135 - Corrupt BIOS, black screen, keyboard is not working

    Hello everybody.
    I have been having some issues with my Toshiba Satellite C855D-135 laptop. I had to change my internal hard drive, so I decided to install windows 7 on it (I used to have windows 8 but don't have the CD and I couldn't find the licence key sticker.),
    So I went into the BIOS to switch it from UEFI to CSM, but something went wrong at that point and it seems to have corrupted the bios.
    I think I have bricked it, but some things still work.
    When I turn it on:
    - the screen stays black (Yes, I have tried it on a different screen)
    - the keyboard doesn't seem to be working (the leds don't turn on when I press caps lock)
    - the fan works fine
    - cd reader works fine
    - When I plug in a USB stick, it flashes quickly once, so that seems to be working
    - When I removed the memory bar, the computer did it's series of beeps
    - I tried removing the battery, unplugging it and pressing on the power button for ages. (no luck)
    - I have tried removing the CMOS battery to revert the bios to default. (no luck)
    - I tried flashing the bios on a USB stick, until I realised the keyboard wasn't working and that it was all in vain.
    - I tried putting the bios update on a CD, and it spun for a while, but nothing happened in the end. I tried putting these files on the CD:
    - IBIOS.BAT
    - C8610.FD (in the Win8 folder)
    - C610.FD (in the WIN7 folder)
    - I tried renaming C8610.FD to BIOS.FD
    I have run out of ideas now.
    Could anybody help me? Pretty please?
    I hope it's not the motherboard that's broken, coz I really don't have enough money to send it off to be repaired.

    The whole story sounds very strange to me I never heard about that fact that changing the boot mode from UEFI to CSM would affect the BIOS.
    In my opinion there is some serious hardware problem. As you already assumed, it could be probably a motherboard fault.
    I would recommend you to ask some technicians for some hardware diagnostic tests to perform an motherboard check in order to be 100% sure about the fault.
    If you dont have enough money and the motherboard is really affected you could try to get some 2nd hand part

  • Satellite Z830 - Remove/change single keys from keyboard

    Hi,
    some keys on the keyboard of my Z830 keyboard became sticky over time.
    Is it possible to remove single keys, try to clean it and put the key back in, or is the key glued?
    I wouldn't want to replace the whole keyboard, as most of the keys still work fine.
    Thanks

    Keyboard keys are not glued and keyboard caps can be removed. It was extremely easy on older keyboards and I have done it many times.
    I don't have experience with new keyboards but the principle should be the same.
    Take some flat plastic and try to remove keycap but be very gently.
    I think you are the first one with this question so it will be very nice if you can post some feedback or short instruction how it can be done.

  • Re: Chinese words after Bios update on Satellite L100-119

    I updated my Bios in notebook Satellite L100-119 PSLA3E with version 3.20 wordwide and after that my Bios words become chineese.
    Has anyone the first bios?
    Plese help me.

    That's strange
    Did you use the BIOS from the Toshiba European driver page?
    This notebook belongs to the Toshiba European series and if you want to update the BIOS then you have to use the BIOS from Europe!
    Anyway, the latest BISO on the page is 3.20-win and this is only BIOS which is available
    If you need an older version then you will need to contact the Toshiba ASP in your country for an older version maybe they could help
    But check the BIOS again access the settings and set it to default
    Then save the changes and boot up again
    Maybe this helps

  • Satellite L100: CD/DVD Drive is not recognised in Bios or My Computer

    Satellite L100 - 170 Model No.PSLA3E 02501QEN running Win XP.
    The CD/DVD drive icon has disappeared from My Computer and is not listed in Device Manager or showing in the BIOS.
    There is power to the drive and the tray ejects OK
    I have tried using the Add New Hardware facility in Control Panel but it does not list a CD Drive.
    I have removed the drive and then re-seated it but it made no difference.
    I have used System Restore to the last available date 26th January 08 but it does not restore the CD drive...and I no it was working at that time.
    I don't think this is a faulty drive as it is picking up power and when you insert a CD it starts up as though it were about to read the disk but nothing appears on screen.
    The Laptop belongs to an Autistic child and all I can get out of him is 'I don't know' when asked what has happened to the Laptop.
    Sorry I don't have any other information.
    Can anyone help.
    Thanks
    Jan

    Well, usually if the CD/DVD drive doesnt appear in the BIOS or the BIOS cannot recognize the ODD then the chances are that the CD/DVD drive would malfunctions.
    But the best way to check this is a new OS installation. You should try to boot from a bootable XP CD.
    If the notebook would be able to boot from the CD then the hardware is ok.

  • Satellite L100 - How to download and install BIOS update?

    I bought this Satellite L100 in 2006, and it dawned on me that by now I might need a BIOS update (the laptop sometimes freezes at Startup).
    I found an update on the Satellite website dating July 6th 2007 but the download instructions are confusing and the driver(s) simply don't come through. Can someone help me with another link for this download?

    >how do I 'uncheck' HDD, In msconfig?
    What do you mean by uncheck? Do you want to disconnect the HDD or to remove it from the notebook?
    In msconfig you can disable (uncheck) the processes which are running in the OS background! You cannot disable HDD in msconfig.
    >. I also experience breaks in the sounds of Window message tunes and short freezing moments in all webvideo's I run. Could this have something to do with a bad connection with the HDD
    I doubt the HDD connection could cause this Maybe the HDD itself
    It would be interesting to know if the same would happen using a new HDD and fresh installed OS. I had a Win XP installed on my notebook. It was a long time since new installation the notebook and OS were soo slowly because many registry keys were corrupted.
    I installed the OS again, cleaned the OS using CCLeaner, disabled not necessary background processes and the notebook ran much faster

  • Using Photoshop CC 2014 on a Windows Tablet without a keyboard and mouse

    Using Photoshop CC 2014 on a Windows Tablet without a keyboard and mouse can be quite a challenge. Even if you use the experimental 2x UI. You can not use your fingers or to quickly change tools and change settings. You have no shortcut without popping up Windows touch keyboard or leave it up taking a great deal of screen space.  If you're using the 2x UI Photoshop uses the screen at half resolution so it displays 1/4 the amount of pixels it could.
    Fortunately I found a little touchkey utility on the web the lets you design your own touch keyboards. The can be transparent and you can even paint under them as long as you start the stroke  outside the keyboard area. The keyboards can be toggles on and off so you can actually use Photoshop.  The utility is small and requires not installation can be run form anywhere.  I purchased a Surface Pro 3 a week ago.  Its a full fledge PC.  Through the home group I can access all machines in my house and using network shares I can access all files on my machines and the network drive on my router,  I can print on my Epson 4800 printer. I can show slideshow on my HDTV via   Bluetooth using a Microsoft wireless display adapter.   I can plug in my Wacom Intuos Pro wireless receiver into the USB  3 port and use my Wacom tablet.  Have a very touchy machine.  Touch on the keyboard touch pad touch on the Display display and on the Wacom tablet.  Could have touch on a mouse but I prefer the Microsoft comfort bluetooth mouse that has six buttons and a four way wheel.
    As a tablet its under two pounds.  Its quite impressive cost why mor the an iPad but worth the cost to me for with windows I can get at the file system.   If you have a Surface Pro 3 you should check out  "Touchkey" its handy.

    Do a screen screen capture and post it here so we can see what you stating about a white layout...

  • Satellite L30-113 Memory Problem

    I have a Satellite L30-113 that is not reporting the correct
    memory size.
    The system was supplied with 512Mb and I have installed an additional 1Gb
    Stick but for some reason windows is only reporting 896Mb installed, and the Graphics card
    is using 128Mb. The BIOS is also reporting that only 896Mb of ram is installed.
    When I run system Info for windows it only detects the 1GB module installed
    although if i remove one memory module and have either the 512 or 1GB installed
    it works fine.
    I have also installed the latest BIOS and this doesn’t seam to
    have had any affect.
    Also both memory sticks have been tested in an other laptop so i know they both work.
    Are there any issues with mixing memory sizes in these laptops or do the memory
    sticks have to be matched sizes?
    The OS is Windows XP Pro

    I don't agree, because usually L30 supports not only the same modules. One of my friends has 512mb Hynix and 1gb Kingmax in his L30 installed, and has no problem with it. There's a guy in another topic how uses 533mhz and 667mhz modules together, and he also has no problem. So I think you should choose the modules carefully and I recommend the same modules too, but it doesn't mean you couldn't use different modules in L30. Mostly you should care about the manufacturer, for example Kingmax, Kingston, Corsair, Samsung, Hynix could be a good choice. I'm sure there are another good brands too, but as I see usually there are no compatibility problems with these modules.

  • I need to install a keyboard driver without a keyboard

    I need to install a USB keyboard driver on my Mac Mini without a keyboard (my USB mouse works fine, and my original keyboard is 1000 miles away). I have only one USB keyboard in this house but the driver to make it work with OS X is on the Logitech website, which I have downloaded onto a CD. I can run the driver installation program by using the mouse, but OS X demands that I provide the system password with the keyboard in order to install the keyboard driver. That's a catch-22. MY QUESTION: is there a program that I can download for Mac OS X that will let me enter keystrokes using the mouse?

    MY QUESTION: is there a program that I can download for
    Mac OS X that will let me enter keystrokes using the mouse?
    No download needed, but this is going to be painful. FontBook will do what you want.
    Fire up FontBook by browsing using the mouse to the Applications folder.
    Under the Edit menu, choose "Special Characters". A Character Palette will appear. View Code Tables so that you get the full set of fonts. Basic Latin (the first set) would be best so that you don't get into unicode issues. At this point you've got two choices:
    (1) it appears that the character palette works on whatever program is in the foreground. So you could click on whatever program's window you want to type keys into, double click on the appropriate character in the character palatte and it will insert (or select the character, click the Insert button).
    (2) if you aren't a perfect "typist" (clicker), you might want to insert whatever characters you want to type into a TextEdit document, copy (drag select, choose copy from the Edit menu), change to whatever program you want to provide keys for, paste. But certain programs (login windows, etc.) may not let you use a menu choice for paste.
    Painful, but it can be done.

  • Satellite L100-194 - is boot from USB possible?

    As in subject ... can I boot my Satellite L100-194 from USB key/HDD?
    I don't found this option in BIOS ...
    Or are there any BIOS update which makes it possible?
    Thanks

    As far as I know something like this is not possible. Maybe on some business notebooks like Tecra or Portege, but not on Satellite L series.

  • Satellite L100-130: Sound every time when start the computer

    I have got a Toshiba Satellite L100-130 (my first notebook and my first experience with Windows XP). When I start my computer I hear the Microsoft Windows XP Sound, but after that I have to manually adjust the sound volume, because it is set at 0 every time I started up my notebook.
    I wanted to know if this is normal with Windows XP/notebooks or there is something wrong with... anything...

    Hi
    As far as I know the L100 has no volume switch at the notebook side. Am I right?
    Therefore the software application is responsible for the volume control.
    Like Jeffrey has written in the post above you should check the sound volume controls in the sound and audio devices.
    There you will find many controls. Check if all are set to the higher level.
    But if it doesnt change the sound volume settings so I assume its a default setting and you have to increases the sound volume if you start the Media Player.

  • Motherboard for Satellite L100

    Hi, I noticed that the PCMCIA slot and USB ports of my notebook Toshiba Satellite L100 (PSLAOL - OOUOOE) are dead and the technician of the store where I bought the notebook told me that I must change the motherboard to gets the the PCMCIA and USB working again.
    Does anyone knows where I can find the information about the motherboard of my notebook and its price also?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    How old is your notebook? Is the warranty still valid? If yes contact Asp in your country. I hope you will get new motherboard replacement for free.

  • Sometimes a beep sound when using the Satellite L100-130

    Toshiba Satellite L100-130
    Sometimes I hear a beep like sound for 1 second while using the computer. Do you know what causes the sound and how I can stop it :/.

    Hi Chunfei
    In my opinion its a normal issue.
    The short beep sound appears because the OS cannot handle all the keyboard inputs at the same time.
    I think it's a interrupt sound
