Satellite P20-304: Change keyboard, decision problems..

I want to replace the old keyboard by a new one, but i don know which i should order. I found 2 different types: manufacturer-id: K000006120 and K000015440 but cannot decide which is the right one, because they seem to be the same?!
To post a real question: What is the manufacturer-id of the right keyboard for my p20-304??

This question can be answered only by an service partner!!!
The K000 numbers seems to be an internal Toshiba numbers and therefore its not easy to find out what part is compatible or not.
Make a call to the Toshiba authorized service provider guys in your country and ask for the right part and order it.
good luck

  • Changing keyboard style problem!!!

    Hi,
    In non-english Os,the character that returned from the keyboard isn`t an ascii character.When i define some method or keymap that change latin keyboard to for example a farsi keyboard it works well on an english Os but not works well on a non-english OS, because of the keymap couldn`t realize the non-ascii character. I can do this to map each non-ascii character to characters that i want apeare in GUI, but it doesn`t work on other non-english Os and i must define a keymap for each non-english Os that i want to use, and this is impossible.
    In other words, i want to define a keymap that independent from Os language or an access to keyboard that returns the keys in ascii way on any non-english Os, or some method that can convert all the non-ascii character that get from the keyboard into ascii character that keymap
    can realize which character is for which key.
    Thank you in advance

    Maybe if you map stuff for each machine separately in
    custom setup, you could recognize the keys correctly.Hi,
    How can i do it?
    it`s my question.
    Thank you,

  • DVD-R recording/burning problem on Satellite P20

    I have a Satellite P20 notebook with a Multi Dvd-RAM drive (which should support both DVD-RAM, DVD-R and DVD/RW discs for recording). I'm experiencing some difficulties recording data to DVD-R discs - basically when I insert a blank DVD-R the D drive is not even accessable.
    I have tried recording to a DVD-RAM disc which worked fine (went through the usual procedure of turning off regular CD recording etc) so it only seems to be DVD-R's which are the problem.
    any ideas people?

    You should check if the recording function in the drive properties is enabled.
    Please check also this Toshiba document:

  • Satellite p20 552: Graphics problem

    Toshiba satellite p20 552 (new, out of the box)
    When set to 32 bit (color) the cursor has blue vertical stripes around it (in a square of 2x2 cm) when placed on a white surface (ex in the explorer).
    This behaviour disapears when set to 16 bit.
    The graphics card is the GeForce FX Go5700.
    Does anyone know this problem or as an answer to this?
    Thanks.
    By the way, when the pc goes in standby mode (power management or when closing the lcd panel) and when one tries to restart it, it does not swithch on the LCD screen screen, but there is some activity on the disk and the fan works. After some time it shuts down. At restart a windows error message appears.

    HI Muni,
    you wrote your p20 is new ad out of the box, then you use the preinstalled Toshiba OS, don't you?
    You can try to reinstall the graphic driver (Toshiba Tools&Utilities CD or you go to https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com - Download Driver and choose your machine). Compare the two driver versions ad install the newer one!
    Which resolution do you use?
    Your secod problem can be solved if you check your settings in the Toshiba Power Saver. Perhaps you set it to default. If this don't solve the problem you should reinstall the Power Saver!
    Hint: You can also use the Hiberation Mode. This mode shuts the notebook down and all power is off. At the next start, the Hiberation mode loads a hdd image and you can work! It is faster than normal start up and all power is off in Hibernation mode.
    Bye chris

  • Satellite P20: Fn+F5 and TV-button does not work

    Satellite P20, Windows XP SP2 keyboard problem.
    When I press Fn + F5, the computer does not show as earlier the different display options. TV button does not work also. I can change the different displays with my nVidia Display Driver.
    My keyboard is OK, there is no dust or fluids. I have newest BIOS update and Windows XP Service Pack 2. What program controls the keyboard functions in this case?
    How to repair this problem?

    Hello
    Obviously you have removed something or preinstalled your own operating system. Without Toshiba designed tools and utilities it will not work. I dont know exactly which of them are for doing this but please try to install Dritek Easy Button Util. /Sticky Keys V1.008, E-Keys Utilities and Toshiba Hotkey Utility.
    I hope it will help. If not please write again.

  • Satellite Pro A200: What keyboard is compatible?

    Hi
    I have a notebook Toshiba Satellite pro a 200 and I need to change keyboard.
    The problem is to find the keyboard exactly for this model.
    Could anyone tell me does any keyboard for another Toshiba suit to my notebook?
    For example I found a keyboard for Toshiba satellite A200 and it looks very similar (the biggest difference is color) but I am not sure that would work.
    Thanks for any help and sorry for my English;)

  • Satellite P20-771: Blue screen error message after OS reinstalling

    I have a laptop Satellite P20-771 / Pentium 4 3.40GHz (800/HTT) / XP Home/ 17' with nVidia Geo5700 driver.
    As I had some problems with software, and I reinstalled everything using the provided CDs. Unfortunately the computer keeps malfunctioning giving me blue screen errors, that are due (this comes out when I sumbit the error to Microsoft) to device drivers. I updated everything (I hope) from the Toshiba page, but I am not an expert and I am worried that I missed something or that something has not been loaded in the right order or that the setting are incorrect.
    Thank in advance for your help
    Roberto

    Hello
    I have also P20 (red one) and have never had any problem after using provided recovery media. According to your posting there must be two possible reasons for blue screen:
    1. you have installed some additional software that causes bluescreen or
    2. there is some hardware component responsible for that (new memory module or maybe some external device connected to the unit)
    Sorry but I dont see any other reason. On this way it is not easy to give precise answer and we can just speculate why this happen.

  • Is it possible to install Win XP on Satellite P20 w/o DVD drive?

    Hi, I'm new to this support forum, but I'm hoping you can help with my problem.
    Windows has become corrupt on my Satellite P20-521, yet I'm unable to use the Recovery Disc as the DVD drive has ceased functioning. I was wondering if there is any other possible method for installing the OS onto my laptop without the need for the drive. I have gotten to a stage where the harddrive is essentially formatted (due to placing the HD into another laptop and performing a windows boot that formatted and copied windows install data, however, this hasn't worked in terms of installing windows).
    Thank you in advance for any help you may provide.

    Okay, thanks for the help and suggestions guys. With the info you gave me, I managed to think out the most awkward and roundabout method possible. I've noted it down so that others may attempt to do so in the future if they so desire.
    Process to install Windows:
    Transfer HDD from Toshiba Satellite (Comp A) to Dell Latitude (Comp B)
    Copy the 'i386' folder from the Windows XP CD to a USB Memory Stick
    Use a DOS CD to boot into DOS on Comp B
    Delete all partitions and create 2gb FAT16 partition
    Format C: Drive
    Install DOS to HDD ('XCOPY A: C:\DOS' & 'SYS A: C:')
    Remove DOS CD
    Restart
    Test booting into DOS (if it doesn't work, repeat steps above or find method to remove the MBR)
    Restart
    Use 'Damn Small Linux' live CD to boot into Linux
    Mount HDA1 (Harddrive FAT16 partition) and SDA1 (USB Memory Stick)
    Transfer the 'i386' folder from SDA1 to HDA1 using File Manager
    Restart
    (Optional: Activate 'smartdrive.exe' in DOS if it's available)
    Activate 'WINNT.EXE' from within i386 folder
    Follow Windows XP Installation procedure
    (Note: somefiles may not be found when it's in the copying stage, this may be due to the version of Windows XP you copied the i386 folder from)
    Warning! Can take numerous hours to complete without 'smartdrive.exe'.
    For me, due to the only readily available disc being an 'upgraded' XP (came with lots of tools and service packs allready installed for convenience) install disc, I found files 'missing' during the file copying stage prior to actual Windows installation:
    ieframe.dll.mui
    msfeedsbs.dll
    The files are part of Internet Explorer 7, and are neither crucial to installation nor the running of Windows XP.

  • Calling1.4.1 signed applet from Javascript causes keyboard/focus problems

    Pretty sure there's a JRE bug here, but I'm posting to forums before I open one in case I'm missing something obvious :-)
    This issue may be specific to IE, I haven't tested elsewhere yet. Our web application is centered around a signed applet that is initialized with XML data via Javascript. We first noticed the problem when our users started upgrading from the 1.3.x plug-in to the 1.4.x plug-in. The major symptom was that shortcut keys stopped working. I debugged the problem off and on for about a month before I boiled it down to a very simple program that demonstrates the issue (included below). Basically, the program has a function that adds a JButton to a JPanel and registers a keyboard listener (using the new DefaultKeyboardFocusManager class) that prints a message to the console. This function is called by the applet's init() method, as well as by a public method that can be called from Javascript (called callMeFromJavascript()). I also included a very simple HTML file that provides a button that calls the callMeFromJavascript() method. You can test this out yourself: To recreate, compile the class below, JAR it up, sign the JAR, and put in the same dir with the HTML file. Load the HTML file in IE 5.0 or greater, and bring the console up in a window right next to it. Now click the button that says init--you should see the small box appear inside the button that indicates it has the focus. Now press some keys on your keyboard. You should see "KEY PRESSED!!!" appearing in the console. This is proper behavior. Now click the Init Applet from Javascript button. It has removed the button called init, and added one called "javascript". Press this button. Notice there is no focus occurring. Now press your keyboard. No keyboard events are registered.
    Where is gets interesting is that if you go back and make this an unsigned applet, and try it again, everything works fine. This bug only occurs if the applet is signed.
    Furthermore, if you try it in 1.3, signed or unsigned, it also works. So this is almost certainly a 1.4 bug.
    Anyone disagree? Better yet, anyone have a workaround? I've tried everything I could think of, including launching a thread from the init() method that sets up the components, and then just waits for the data to be set by Javascript. But it seems that ANY communication between the method called by Javascript and the code originating in init() corrupts something and we don't get keyboard events. This bug is killing my users who are very reliant on their shortcut keys for productivity, and we have a somewhat unique user interface that relies on Javascript for initialization. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

    </form>

    I tried adding the requestFocus() line you suggested... Same behavior.
    A good thought, but as I mention in my description, the applet has no trouble gaining the focus initially (when init() is called). From what I have seen, it is only when the call stack has been touched by Javascript that I see problems. This is strange though: Your post gave me the idea of popping the whole panel into a JFrame... I tried it, and the keyboard/focus problem went away! It seems to happen only when the component hierarchy is descended from the JApplet's content pane. So that adds yet another variable: JRE 1.4 + Signed + Javascript + components descended from JApplet content pane.
    And yes, signed or unsigned DOES seem to make a difference. Don't ask me to explain why, but I have run this little applet through quite a few single variable tests (change one variable and see what happens). The same JAR that can't receive keyboard events when signed, works just fine unsigned. Trust me, I'm just as baffled as you are.

  • Looking for "Change Keyboard Type"-Button

    Hi. After installing Snow Leopard my Keyboard (from Cherry) works a bit wrong (some keys have wrong characters). I think there is something wrong with identification of the keyboard and wand to change it's type. "Help" (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8962.html) says:
    1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Keyboard.
    2. Click Change Keyboard Type.
    The problem is, that there is no such Button "Change Keyboard Type" in Keyboard Prefs!
    So where can I change the type?
    Thanks,
    JB

    Hello Tom,
    I'm using two layouts - one is German and one is Russian-PC (Russian layouts are a little different for PCs and Macs). I don't know if it matters, but the system is running in English.
    I still believe, that the problem is in keyboard configuration. As I was installing 10.6, system asked me to "Press a button next to the left Shift" to identify, which type of keyboard I use. I didn't understand what the system wants from me and pressed a wrong key (I believe, I tried to press "Escape" but instead pressed the "^" key).
    Exactly the same thing happend to me a couple of times as I was installing 10.5.x - this message for Keyboard config is some kind of, I dunno, magic for me (or some poor interface design) - I always miss the point, and I've always pressed the wrong key. But in 10.5. there was a possibility to run keyboard identification once again from "Keyboard" menu (and so says "Help", too). But there is no more this button and I don't know if there were any other way to run identification again. (I've tried to plug-out and plug-in again, but it didn't help).
    Thanks for your help, I look forward to try to change layouts.

  • Satellite P20-S203 shuts down suddenly

    Hi,
    In the last month my Satellite P20-S203 is not behaving so well, and unfortunately it seems the problem is a hardware one (but I'm not sure, and that's why Im writing here)
    The computer just shuts down suddenly (it happened 2 or 3 times in the last 30 days); all the times it did happen I was on the web on Firefox, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with that, and I'm also 99% sure it's not a virus, malware or anything like that, cause I formatted about 3 months ago, and nothing else behave in a strange way, the computer is not slow or anything like that.
    The last two options are that the issue may be of hardware nature, or of a software one (like a conflict between installed programs and the OS); I'm more for the first one, but I'm not sure and I need help to find out... What should I do?
    Also, when it suddenly shuts down, it won't turn on with the first try.
    It needs like 10 or 20 times to open, like an old car that doesn't start; the first, say, 5 times I try to turn it on, it will only display the toshiba logo.
    Then it passes through a screen I cannot read because it's too fast.
    Then to a black screen and finally it turns off again.
    With the next tries it goes a little bit more far, like it displays the windows logo, but, as that picture fades in, it stops at half of the fading process, resulting in a darker windows logo, like it's too hard for it to load the OS!!
    But then it goes off again!
    Then after some other tries it finally loads windows.
    Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you!
    OS: Windows XP SP2

    No it's ok Jayjay, I purchased this morning the right screwdriver (here in Greece these type of screws are called "French" or most internationally "torx" screws).
    So I took away the cover above the fans, unscrewed the heat sink, removed the heat sink and together with that the cpu came up. I've now removed the old thermal grease and I'm ready to put the new one.
    I like to mess around with things, I like to assemble and disassemble, I like to know how things work...but I also know, thanks to my personal experience, that there's no way not to make any damage when you mess around :) but that's ok with me, I' m used to it, as soon the pc will open once finished :D
    Anyway, I have to admit that if I worked with a little more method now everything would be ok, like making a map of the screws, knowing where to put them back, because now two screws on the back won't mount any more (precisely the F6 screws on the back panel, where the usb, vga and parallel connectors are), and two more screws are in excess (!) If someone has the time to do it, please unscrew just these two screws (the F6 on the back) and post a photo of the screws, or just tell me the height, even if I'm sure that the problem is elsewhere.
    Goodbye

  • Potential keyboard hardware problem T410

    Dear all,
    since yesterday I have been experiencing a problem with my T410, which is potentially due to
    a hardware issue with the keyboard.
    A few specific keys are not working anymore. These seem to be the Power On key, the Fn key,
    the Alt Gr key, and the ThinkVantage key.
    I am assuming it is a keyboard hardware problem, since I cannot use the Power On button to
    start the laptop. Fortunately, this is possible using the fingerprint reader start-up.
    When the laptop is running (using Windows 7) everything is working fine, except the mentioned
    buttons. I cannot access any Fn button functions (e.g. the reading lamp) or Alt Gr symbols (e.g.
    the @ symbol which is on my keyboard on the 2 button) or power down with the Power button.
    I tried various easy fixes:
    * Making sure all drivers are up to date
    * Remove and reattach the keyboard
    * Static discharge procedure (unplug all power, 10 presses and 30 sec holding of power button)
    * Checking Bios settings
    * Replace battery
    Unfortunately, these did not change the situation.
    I am wondering if the simultaneous malfunctioning of these specific buttons points to a certain
    hardware problem. I hope a replacement of the keyboard might solve this, but it could be an
    issue with the motherboard.
    Any hints would be welcome.
    Thank you,
    MH
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Dear all,
    thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, it was not the keyboard. It appears to
    be a more serious problem. In fact, since yesterday the laptop does not boot correctly
    anymore. The boot process is started, but I only end up with a black screen, and some
    randomly colored first few lines at the top of the display.
    It all points to a major malfunction. Unfortunately, the warranty expired 3 months ago...
    Regards,
    mh

  • PS, OS X and Norwegian Apple keyboard, shortcut problems

    I have searched high and low (forums, google etc) for a solution to my problem. I am becoming quite desperate and thought it wise to post. It might be an odd problem that only a few of us have, since it relies on a non-US keyboard. I might share my problem with more people than I realise.
    My problem is Photoshop and keyboard shortcuts.
    E.g. I am using Magentic Lasso Tool and want to increase or decrease the tolerance level or I am using a brush and I want to increase or decrease brush size. These commands rely on [,],{,} and similar keys. Especially when using Magentic Lasso Tool (I use that and brush a lot for masking) I need to increase and decrease contrast.
    On a Norwegian Apple keyboard [,],{,} and similar keys are mapped with pressing the ALT + 8 and 9 or ALT + SHIFT 8 and 9 accordingly. Photoshop doesn't recognize ALT + or ALT + SHIFT modifiers. It just doesn't work and I can't access the shortcuts.
    I can't use the mouse to navigate to Tolerance either, as with Magentic Lasso Tool it will create a path upwards in the canvas towards the toolbar and when I click the value box to change it will complete the current path to selection.
    I thought I'd be smart and change the shortcut in Tools from [,] to ALT + 8 and 9, but Photoshop denies me this with the message "Opt+8 is an invalid shortcut. You can only use a single character for tool shortcuts."
    I can map the keys to something else and sacrifice another important shortcut of course. This would just cause more problems down the line.
    I know there are users or lurkers in this forum with a similar problem. Anyone up for giving me my sanity back?

    Exactly. Bad translations and the lack of application-updates were the main reasons I originally switched to US English versions years and versions ago. Unfortunately I need to use Swedish localized versions at work so I still see the lousy translations.
    For those of you who are only using English and living in English speaking countries, note that the problem is that keyboards that come with the machines are localized to your area and if you change keyboard layout the layout of the keys do not match what is under them. Does make it hard to work unles you glue something to the keys or create an overlay (remember those?) for the keyboard. That means that for isntance you cannot reach the tilde key (just an example, there are other ones too) but by using yet other keys to get there. That's what breaks the shortcut.
    Editing keyboard shortcuts in each and every version of the applications is usally also not an option (and in some apps those shortcuts - if they can be called shortcuts when they contain around 4 keys...) as the shortcuts do not even reside in a selfcontained file that you can move to other machines, but is embedded into other settings. Or hardcoded into the application an unreachable. And not portable between versions.
    Changing keyboard layout in Internationl is not an option either.
    The only application that is semi-smart is actually Bridge where you can set your keyboard prefs to another keyboard layout than the one you use for the application itself (Bridge is multi-lingual like OS X) and then the shortcuts follow with that setting. On the other hand you cannot edit shortcuts in Bridge. Bridge is also a limited application when it comes to features and shortcuts which makes this esier from an engeneering view I would guess. The other Adobe apps are far more complex in that regard (and if a short-cut would be changed in favour of the international users in for instance Illustrator, you would hear a roar you wouldn't believe from those Illustrator users....those are a conservative bunch).
    The only solution that would be a good one would be if there would be no hardcoded shortcuts at all that are tied to one keyboard layout only, the US English one, but would use keys that can be used regardless of keyboard layout used at user end. I've fought for this for many years but so far only with limited success.

  • My Satellite P20 is very slow

    My P20 3ghz 512 ram is unbelievably slow. My old notebook with just 1 ghz laptop is 100x faster! Opening applications, switching between them, running more than one all make it crawl and crash. I've tried everything I can. Any suggestions please as I'm about to sell it!

    [Edited by: admin on 23-Nov-05 11:13]

    Hello Mike
    Since almost two years I am owner of Satellite P20 (red one) and I am very satisfied. It is a great machine. My unit has a little bit more RAM as yours, SP2 is installed too but it runs perfectly. The start up could be a little faster but have no problems like you.
    You have mentioned that you have tried everything but did you also try to reinstall the unit with recovery CD?
    Over time, Windows loses stability. If you keep a computer for more than two years, at some point the best solution is to reinstall Windows from scratch.

  • Change keyboard commands in Lightroom

    It should be possible to change keyboard commands in Lightroom. Like in Photoshop.
    The problem I have on my Swedish keyboard is to toggle between grid and loupe mode. With the "`" key. Is it possible somehow to reassign to another key? Its really annoying. Its a very useful shortcut. :-)

    I am having similiar difficulties with the german keyboard and the english LR - a workaround i use is autohotkey a little prg that lets you use macros and reassign keys.. good luck
