Satellite P300 - keypad going crazy

Hi !
I have a Satellite P300, and my main board broke weeks ago.
I picked it back this morning, but since the reparation, I have a little bit of a problem :
The keyboard has a separate keypad, which a can activate/inactivate with the Num Lock key.
When the num lock is activated (green LED on), pressing the keypad gives me number ; but a part of my alphabetic keybord also gives me number (keys : u, i, o, p, j, k, l, m, ...).
This part of the keyboard is supposed to be a keypad that can be switched on with the Fn key.
As long as I don't have any Fn + key combination, I cannot turn this function off.
The only way for me to use my keypad is to turn it on when I need it, and off right after I used it...
Does someone have a solution ???
Thanks

Hi!
I agree with Mores. You should contact an ASP and ask a technician for help.
They have experience with this.
On the Toshiba website you can search for an ASP:

  • Re: Satellite P300-161 - Random Lock-ups/Freezing

    Hi all,
    I've had my Toshiba Satellite P300-161 laptop for roughly about 6 months now. However, during the past month or so.. I've been experiencing random freezing of the whole laptop.
    It usually just starts off at anytime.. then it'll have a break then start freezing again. When it freezes, it lasts for about 10-15 seconds and everything goes to "Not Responding". Even Ctrl + Alt + Del doesn't load up the task manager until after the freezing stops. However, I've discovered that when it's in its "freeze" mode, where the applications are not responding, I can give the laptop a gentle tap with my hand on the open space area to the right of the touchpad... and it unfreezes.... Surely this is a bad thing.
    I plan to take this back to where I purchased it from and have it sent off to Toshiba to get it fixed as I have a 2 year warranty with them IF I can't get help from here.
    Much help needed.
    Thanks in advance,
    Benny Fung.

    Hi.
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yeah, it's currently running on Vista SP1. I have reinstalled Vista _once_ for this laptop, perhaps I should reinstall it again before I take it back to John Lewis just to make sure...
    I don't think it's overheating, as it can do it at anytime.. for instance, I could just be running Firefox and Messesnger and it still does it and with 3GB of RAM and 2.1Ghz, it should be able to perform simple tasks like that without overheating.
    Hmm, What's this air spray cleaner thing you're talking about? How does it work?
    Thanks.

  • Satellite P300 - Keyboard layout changed

    Well, I am running a Toshiba Satellite P300 and I am having problem.
    I just got it back from repair and they changed the motherboard. I have updated the BIOS. I did a fresh OS install to Windows 7 that. I didn't have this problem before it went out for repair but now when I press the Num Lock key, it changes my number pad to numbers, as expected, but also changes the right side of my keyboard to numbers as well which is very frustrating.
    I have been surfing for 2 days online to find a solution to it and even called the tech that was in charge of the repair and no one has any answers for me.

    So far it looks like W7 has the correct driver and the external keyboard has its key presses correctly processed.
    Next?
    When you press num lock on the external keyboard does it also toggle the alpha keys on the keyboard to numerics? - Trying to establish if the key code from the external k/b is the same as that generated by num lock on the laptop. Your laptop is behaving as if it is a laptop with no numeric key pad and you can toggle between "numbers or text". I've had a search and can find no "shortcut" keystrokes to do that - I also searched to see if a "Shift Lock" could be emulated since that is a key that has disappeared from modern keyboards.
    I presume you have checked that your BIOS is the current version. The only other suggestion I've got is that the replacement m/b has not had Toshiba "lock outs" applied and it is in a generic bios state and you can access settings such as the number of keys on the keyboard or legacy keyboard support. Suggest you identify some "small" Toshiba laptops with no numeric keypad and download their manuals to see how they handle no numeric keypad or just ring Toshiba and ask them?

    With your laptop num lock on when you hold "Fn" and press one of the remapped keys do you get a letter? (add the shift key and get a capital) if so it's behaving like a Satellite L450D-11X (fn+f11 is the numeric toggle on that machine)

  • Satellite P300 - Touchpad freeze with AC adaptor

    My english is not very good.
    I can use the touchpad of my Satellite P300 only with battery. With the AC Adaptator, I have some freeze, and pointing is not possible

    Hello
    I'm coming back. I've bought another compatible AC Adaptator for Toshiba Satellite P300 (DLH STD-19063, 19V-6.3A).
    The trouble is the same. Freeze is continuing when the AC Adaptator is plugged in.
    The touchpad works good only when the AC DAdaptator is plugged off. I can work correctly only on battery.
    I'm fed with this machine!!!! I'm going to send it to the Tohsiba SAV

  • My black berry tour 9300 is going crazy help ASAP!

     I went away for a week and the second day my phone started going crazy. It would freeze and type in huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu until the whole thing was filled with it and when i try to type "hahahaha" it ends up like this "huahuahuahua" i first thought that maybe i got sand in it so i brought that air duster you use for keyboards on computers it helped a little but its still freezing i still cant type in words or use my key board or my enter button, end button, and menu button. What can i do? it also took my pictures and deleted them. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

    It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
    Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
    It really is more common than you think.
    1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
    2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
    3. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
    *Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
    Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
    On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
    On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

  • 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.)

  • Satellite P300-13M won't start at all

    Hello everybody,
    my Satellite P300 - 13M with product number PSPC4E won't start at all!
    When I put down my screen, it automatically goes in hibernation mode. But the last time I did this was just too much apparently.. I've ejected my battery and put the adapter in to see if it would start. Negative. I've put the battery back and ejected the adapter. Negative. I've connected both the battery and adapter. Negative, no result at all.
    Does this mean the end of my laptop?
    Please help me as fast you guys can because this is my only working laptop.
    Many thanks
    Ps if you want specifications, then i cannot give you them. I don't know the specs by heart.

    On this virtual way it is not easy to say what is wrong there but if there is no reaction at all Im afraid mainboard is death.
    In my opinion repair is probably not the solution. New motherboard costs a lot of money. Either you can find used one, maybe refurbished and exchange it or sell notebook on eBay and buy new one.

  • Satellite P300 (PSPC4E) - BIOS is corrupted

    I have some trouble with my Toshiba Satellite P300 (PSPC4E).
    The BIOS is corrupted and I'm trying to recover it.
    I've disconnected the battery, HDD and DVD.
    I successfully created an USB boot disk using HP USB Tool and CrisDisk.
    It was empty after I run it. I copied three files into it, PHLASH16.EXE, Autoexec.bat and my laptops bios, named bios.wph (version 4.20).
    Using CrisDisk the required files was moved there automatically.
    I've tried multiplie key combinations, following the boot instruction (USB -> Power Cord -> Power Button), as FN/WIN + B/F, FN/WIN + ESC.
    When I boot up with FN/WIN + B/F, it just boots up "normally", all LEDs light up and the screen stay black. The USB doesnt flash or anything.
    Using FN + ESC is a different story though, no LEDs light up, except for the power button.
    The USB flashes briefly, for a few seconds, and after a little while the laptop begins to beep.
    When I say beep, it really beeps, loudly as h***l! 1 long beep + 2 short beeps, which goes on constantly.
    I left it for about 10-15 minutes, but nothing happened. The beeps were really loud, so I shut it down.
    I tried doing the key combination without connecting the USB, and it did the same thing, 1 long + 2 short beeps.
    So, am I doing something wrong here?
    Also, I wonder if it is possible to turn down the volume of the beeps.
    Would be really grateful for any help I can get.

    Excellent, seems to be the same BIOS, thank you very much.
    Tried them all and none worked though, I believe I need the right Phlash16-version.
    Read in a thread about people having the exact same problem and what they needed was the right BIOS-file with the right Phlash16-version.
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Pavilion-DV6700-bios-recovery-from-usb-disk-problem/td-p/646151
    Now I've tried all BIOS files with like 4-5 different Phlash16.exe, but to no avail.
    It seems like it should work, everything points at that, the laptop recognizes the USB and such, but it just refuses to flash.
    I've also tried to use "Compress The Bin File" which apparently helps recovering some Acer models, I've tried with the battery connected, USB-port at both left and right side of the laptop. It doesn't matter what I do, the result is always the same, the USB flashes a few times, then nothing happens for several seconds before it beeps. I've wasted so many hours at this it's ridiculous.
    Nobody who had this actual model and recovered it?
    Have any good guess which Phlash16-version should work?

  • Satellite P300 keeps restarting itself after initial start up screen.

    My Satellite P300 keeps restarting itself after the initial start up screen.
    The initial start up screen with the F2 & F12 options at the bottom appears, the screen then goes black, then a cursor appears in the top left hand corner and flashes a couple of times. Then the laptop shuts down and restarts itself and goes through the same process over and over.
    This is all with the power adaptor plugged in. If unplugged, it will go through the above mentioned process and shut itself down with no restart.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    Have you made some hardware upgrades in the past (RAM, HDD)?
    Have you changed anything?

  • Satellite P300 - Microphone doesn't work after Windows 7 installation

    Hi,
    I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 on my Satellite P300. The built in microphone was fine with Vista but does not now work with Windows 7.
    I've tried going to the sound section and it does not list the built in mike - just the jacks. Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    James

    Hi
    Maybe you didnt install the driver for the microphone?! Therefore you have to install the webcam driver because the microphone is a part of it. You can get it here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    After this it should be possible to use the internal microphone.
    By the way: Which application you use for the internal microphone? Skype or something else?

  • Function Buttons dont work on my Satellite P300-1FN

    Hi,
    I am having problems with the Function Buttons on my Satellite P300-1FN Laptop.
    I recently installed Vista SP2 and flashed the BIOS and now the buttons have stopped working and LEDs lighting them wont turn off when the Mute or LED On/Off button is pressed. I have installed the newest Value Added Package but that has not helped. I have had this problem before without SP2 or the new BIOS installed and found that going in the BIOS and resetting it to default would work but it hasn't this time.

    If I am remembering well in Toshiba HWSetup tool must be one tab for this button.
    Check please what options is defined there.
    Try to change it.
    Please post the results.

  • Can't boot from CD in my Satellite P300-23F

    Hello,
    I'm trying to fix my brother's old laptop. It is a Toshiba satellite p300-23f. The laptop didn't work well, so he bought another one. I think it might have a problem with the HDD, but I'm not sure about that, and want to try and format the HDD and reinstall the operating system.
    When I initiate from the HDD I have no problem, the OS initiates normally, and I can "use" the laptop. The problem is when I try to boot from the OS CD. I get that message "Media test failure, check cable". I know the CD works, because recently I instaled the OS with that CD on another computer. And I know the CD lector (not sure if it's called like this, but I think you understand what I mean) works fine too, because I've tried different CDs, and it worked.
    I already tried pressing F12 and booting from the CD there, and also tried to change the BIOS and put the CD on the first place, but it doesn't work.
    Any clue what's going on? Is there any way to make it work?

    Problem can be optical disc drive. In some cases lens cannot be calibrated for reading DVD but you can still use CDs.
    I also think that ODD is defective.
    It is good idea to create bootable USB. So you can use USB to install operating system.
    If you need some assistance with drivers, tools and utilities installation let us know. just start new thread.

  • Re: Satellite P300 - POST screen blank on booting up and very slow start up

    Hi,
    I have a laptop Satellite P300. On booting up vista the microsoft logo comes up and then when the POST screen should be showing me what the bios is checking the screen is blank.
    It remains blank for 5 to 10 mins then the pointer appears then it finally goes to the desktop.
    I suspect the bios is hanging on something but I can't see cos the screen is blank. I suspect there is a setting somewhere. I can enter the bios but can't find anything in there.
    Also regards to the extremely slow boot, I have disabled nearly all the start up programs but it has made no difference.
    Has anyone any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Everything runs slowly but finally the Windows OS boots up properly. Right?
    Hmm. you can access the BIOS press F2 immediately after power button has been pressed.
    This should allow you to access the BIOS. There you should press F9 to set the BIOS to default settings. Save the changes and reboot the unit again.
    Additionally I would recommend checking the HDD. You could use a tool called Drive Fitness Test. This tool can be downloaded for free (google for that).
    By the way; did you try to recover the notebook using recover disk?
    Maybe you should try this but note; this would format the HDD so backup the date before starting recovery.
