Satellite P300 Number KeyPad problem

When I type numbers on the keypad in quick succession I get other numbers entered. Eg if I type in "15 " on the number pad it will come up "165". It only happens if I type quickly, but if I type slowly it doesn't seem to happen. It is very strange. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • 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:

  • Satellite P300-1A8 - Part number for AC adapter

    Hi.
    Can anyone tell me the Part Number of the AC adapter I need to buy for my Satellite P300-1A8?
    Model no: PSPCOE-01H008EN 15550/1024/1024/160G54/17W + BT/D52/L/M/W
    The toshiba site doesn't list or recognise the model, CarPhone Warehouse didn't provide me with detailed documents, and the original adapter has been stolen. Failing that, can anyone provide an email address for toshiba (I am unable to phone during their office hours).
    Or failing that, some general advice on a compatible adapter please, as I bought an adapter of the correct basic specification - 19V, 3.95A, (75W), 2.5/5.5mm connector (the PA3715E-1ACE) however it doesn't work. The toshiba site lists one other adapter of the same specs (the PA3468E-1AC3) but I am reluctant to risk buying it without being sure it is the correct one. I would be happy to buy a universal adapter but only a high quality one that will not be an electrical hazard.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Clare

    Hi PinkPanther.
    Thanks for the reply and the link. That was the part of the site where I found the AC adapter I thought I needed. I could just go ahead and buy the other one, but these are 70 so I really need it to charge the laptop correctly at that price.
    My main problem is that no site is recognizing my laptop model - not Toshiba or the authorized service provider - so I can't find out the exact charger online. The second problem is that I can't phone when their help line is open between 9-6pm M-F, as these are my exact work hours and I have no mobile phone reception.
    I have messaged Toshiba though their site, but I haven't received a reply, and the advantage of an email address is that I can check that it has been delivered. I will try to search for the asp now.
    And, as you say, the original AC adapter would be much better all round.
    Thanks, Clare

  • Satellite P300 - I need the part number of the original screen

    Please can anyone help?
    I need to get Toshiba part number for the original screen in my Satellite P300-20H. My laptop fell of the bed and the only way I can use it is with an external display
    all else is fine with the laptop but it would be a great help if I could get the part number for the original 17" WXGA+ TruBrite.

    Hello
    I think nobody here can anwer your question: Its only a user to user forum and you will not find any notebook technicians here they can tell you the part number of the screen.
    If you want to know it you should contact an ASP. They can order all original Toshiba parts:

  • Gaming problems in Vista - Satellite P300

    Hey.
    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite P300-1CE that came with Vista Home Premium. The problem is that I cannot run any game on it. I've tryed NFS Most Wanted, Battlefield 2 and Titan Quest(theoretically I should have no problems with my configuration - processor P8400, video Ati 3650, drivers up to date).
    When I try to run the game, I only get a black screen and the computer freezes, I need to reboot. Any ideas?

    Have you installed SP1 for Windows Vista and all other Hotfixes?
    Are you sure that the drivers up to date? Check this on the Toshiba website and you should only use the Toshiba graphic driver because they have an overheat protection.

    Do you have an antivirus program? Try to disable it while you play games.

  • Satellite P300 -156 Windows 7 Crash Problem

    Hello,
    I have the Toshiba Satellite P300-156 PSPC4E model, and i have had this laptop for a couple of years now.
    Before installing windows 7 i had the default Windows Vista installed, and it worked fine.
    Now since installing windows 7, ANY game i try and play just causes the laptop to just go black screen and shut down after about 5 - 10 minutes of playing.
    I thought this was due to an overheating issue... so i opened the laptop and cleaned it all out, and then put it back together again.
    (YES i have checked all wires are back in where they should be and all components are working properly)
    This didn't work.
    Then i tried updating all my drivers, and software ect.
    Still nothing.
    I've trawled through pages and pages of search results for the same problems with Windows 7 and game crashing... but nobody seems to know how to fix it.
    I thought it was just windows 7, but i re installed windows vista and it's still doing the same thing on there now.
    I've tried installing all the drivers from toshibas website for this model laptop and no luck.
    My windows vista and windows 7 are both genuine copys.
    All the hardware is working normally (as far as im aware) and i really can't see what can be causing this problem.
    If anyone could give me some advice on what to do it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    Which display driver you are using? Im not P300 owner but on my A300 I had a similar issue that the notebook crashed during playing a game. It seems that the reason was a 3rd party driver or lets say the driver from the graphic chip manufacture directly. I think because they are not pretested on the notebook and causing overheating
    So I would recommend installing the latest display driver from the Toshiba website.
    Last but not least which Windows 7 version (32 or 64bit) you have installed and which BIOS version?
    The Toshiba website shows also new BIOS versions and different versions for 32bit and 64bit OS. Maybe you have to update/change it Who knows?!

  • Satellite P300 and XP - some drivers problems

    Hi there,
    My notebook: Toshiba Satellite P300 PSPC4E!
    I switched from Windows Vista (preinstalled) to Windows XP Pro SERVICE PACK 2, but I got a few drivers problems:
    1. USB-ROOT-DRIVERS cannot be installed.
    Yep this doesn't work. Can't use any USB-Stick and stuff. I installed all drivers from the download page for my Notebook and Win XP for sure.
    2. Mass Storage Drivers cant be installed:
    Errormassage:
    "This Computer doesn't have the Requirements to install this Software (translated)"
    3. No WLAN Drivers from the Driver page work :(
    Thanks for now. Would be nice to get some help.
    Cheers

    > Installed Win XP without SATA drivers, but changed the SATA value in the BIOS to compatibility! Can I update the SATA drivers now? (xp is installed)
    No you cannot install the SATA drivers now because the HDD doesnt run in SATA mode. You changed it in BIOS to compatibility!
    And now; if you would change the mode to SATA then you will get a BSOD and you will have to install XP again. So if SATA is set to compatibility mode -> you dont need to install the SATA drivers
    > There is no WLan hardware found. Nothing :/
    Check this Toshiba WLan page;

  • Satellite P300-172 - What is my serial number

    I'm trying to download easy cap software from a cd.
    The install process requires me to divulge my laptops serial number.
    Problem is I cannot proceed without inputting 19 digits whereas my serial number only has 9.
    Is there something I'm missing here?
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Is "easy cap" screen capture software or the hardware to capture video? If the latter then [http://forum.easycap.co.uk] . In either case I doubt that either software house has a list of laptop serial number formats and any 19 digits will do. But is your problem with a video capture package such as Ulead and your software was supplied as an OEM bundle with a different manufacturer's PC?

  • 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.
    And another problem after repair : without Model Name ,Part Nr and Serial Nr

    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?
    Message was edited by: peterk_1
    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: Display Driver has stopped working using external monitor

    I have a number of these Satellite P300 PSPCCA-OC201Y and recently bought external monitors for them.
    Since then we seem to be getting "Display Driver has stopped working and has recovered" messages, then after about 5 of these, it crashes.
    Starting with one machine, I have updated display drivers, bios was current, all to no avail.
    I then did a complete system restore back to original. Has not solved the problem.
    Any ideas?

    hi Keven Dickenson,
    as you said you restored the system and still there is no way to get things work it may be a hardware issue...
    i my opinion you should consult a servicepartner to check this out...
    is there any of the machines working with the external monitor at all?
    if none of them is able to connect to ext. display maybe your installation has a problem or the monitor is faulty...
    try it with another monitor and recover one system to factory installation....

  • Pb with Key pad (numlock) Satellite P300

    I have a P300 satellite, and my keypad doens't work normally when I lock numlock in order to write figures (1, 2, 3 ...). In any case (touch "numlock" Iocked or not) I cannot manage to write figures thanks to the keypad. When the green light is on it happens nothing when I press a touch of the keypad, when the light is off it works normaly, I mean it is like the arrows.
    May be somebody can help me.
    Thank you.

    My friends P300 had the same problem!
    The "7890UIOPJKLM>" keys on the keyboard would output numbers even though its a full sized keyboard with a separate keypad.
    I cant remember exactly how the ASP fixed it, apparently there is a setting that changes the screen size to 17". I dont know how they changed it, I am guessing they use a special Diagnostics disk or DMI utility.
    Send it to an ASP, they should be able to fix it :)

  • 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 P300-1C9 - SD Card reader code 10

    Hi All,
    I have a new Toshiba P300-1C9, well six months old, and have just for the first time tried an SD card in the digital media card slot.
    The card is not showing in "my computer". In device manager it is showing with the yellow fault sign warning of a problem.
    Double clicking it gives this message "This device cannot start code 10" In Disc Management the card is not listed in the upper pane but is showing as a drive in the lower pane without a drive letter being assigned.
    If I try to assign a drive letter I get a message saying the operation failed to complete because the Disc Management console view is not up to date.
    It requests refreshing the view using the refresh task. That does nothing.
    I have reinstalled the drivers for the SD Card listed under disk drives when the card is in, for the storage Controllers and the Generic volume listed under Storage volumes. Also I have updated the driver for SD host adaptors.
    A card format has made no difference. I know the card reader is okay as a few days ago I took an up to date image with Acronis TI and then reinstalled the OS from the recovery media. The card worked fine then. I've now put the Acronis image back and the card isn't working. I've had loads of driver updates along the way from Toshiba for various things (but not the media card reader) via their Tempro service including a bios update.
    I am wondering if the bios update caused the problem. I am debating whether to put the bios back to the default setting.
    I have tried everything I can think of, and followed a number of suggestions after googling the problem. The MS Knowledge Base wasn't very helpful and a lot of people seem to have the same problem. I am now at a complete loss.
    Thanks,
    cheven
    Any ideas would be most welcome.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Generally the Error code 10 means that the device cannot start.
    Your card reader is not ready and does not run and therefore the SD card cannot be used and is not recognized in My Computer.
    In most cases the driver update/reinstallation should help to sort put this issue.
    The Satellite P300-1C9 belongs to the PSPCCE series.
    The Toshiba European driver page provides the Card Reader Controller driver for this notebook model. This is the driver which controls the SD card slot.
    I recommend downloading this driver. Then access the device manager and uninstall the previous installed driver. Then reboot the notebook.
    After new reboot the OS should search for a new device and should ask for the necessary driver.
    Then you should point to the driver which you have downloaded and should finish the installation.
    Usually this should solve your problem.

  • How to turn the light on on a Satellite P300-23V + user guide on CD

    I wonder how you turn the light on on a SATELLITE P300-23V?
    I mean the light that show a lightbar above the touchpad and and the name Satellite is lit up too.
    In the manual it says how to do it with the thin remote controll but there is no on this model.
    I know I have been able to turn of/on the light with some key combination before but now I can't find it now.
    I have upgraded from Vista 32bit to Windows 7 64bit and maybe some Thoshiba features was lost doing that?
    I have also lost my CD with the more extended user guide. I have searched for it on the download area but it seems not be there for downloading.
    Any hints how to get it?

    This forum is great!
    The answers comes so quickly!
    Thank you for your answers. They solved both my problems.
    I could have sworn that I used some buttons on the keypad to light up the lamps but apparantly not.
    I found it in the BIOS as you said and it works.
    And now I also have the user guide which is more extended than the printed one.
    Once again: THANX!

  • Satellite P300 keeps crashing and giving me blue screens

    Hello,
    I got a Satellite P300, operating on Windows Vista home premium and its provided with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650.
    My laptop keeps crashing and giving me blue screens and windows says its the cause ls my graphic driver and the eror message is Atikmdag.
    I tried everything (i think), i re-installes windows but this i had to do with making a recovery cd with the current settings because in some kinda way my F8 function doesn't work so i couldn't restore my Windows from my hard drive.
    I also got the latest Ati drivers, this doesn't help either, i also re-installed them and tried to run my laptop on the windows drivers, this doesn't help either.
    I really don't know what to do, can some one help me please?

    Are you sure that you are running video drivers downloaded from a Toshiba site? Unfortunately the drivers may not be the root of the problem so it is important to eliminate them as the cause. AMD's recommended driver removal procedure is at [http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU57RemoveOldGraphicsDrivers.aspx] and if you follow that with an installation of Toshiba drivers then your laptop should be in an as supplied state
    I'd recommend you look at this [How to troubleshoot Display driver stopped responding and has recovered, ATIKMDAG.sys type errors|http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/737-27116RadeonSeries-ATIKMDAGhasstoppedrespondingerrormessages.aspx]
