Satellite P500 - After BIOS update the number pad isn't working anymore

I just got a Satellite P500 and am running Windows 7. I downloaded all of the latest drivers and updated the system bios to version 1.70 (from Toshiba's support website). Now, my number pad on the keyboard is not working.
The numlock light is on and when I hit the "6" key on the number pad, it turns the light on/off but the behavior of the other keys does not change whether it is on or off. The "-" key enters a "6" but none of the other keys (except "enter" does anything.
I removed the keyboard driver and restarted to re-install the keyboard driver but that had not effect. The keyboard did work for a few days after I flashed the bios but seems to have stopped since I started using a USB mouse. I tried uninstalling the USB mouse driver but that did not do anything either (it was a Logitech driver).
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

I'm having this exact same issue, Did the BIOS update, which fixed the problem for Vista X64, formatted the machine to windows 7, Number pad keys except 6 and - Register as the Fn Button, Bringing up the function shortcuts display when pressed in windows, recovered from 7 to Vista X64 using Built in recovery partition, Problem still exactly the same. i have reset BIOS to defaults twice now, which has not resolved the issue. the next step will be to reflash the bios with the update again to see if this will fix the issue as it did once before. Laptop Model P500/025 Or Part number PSPE8A-025002
*EDIT: I reflashed the BIOS with 1.70 Again and the number pad is back to normal. Seems like an extreme fix for a silly problem. Every time you format you have to Reflash your bios, risky no?*

  • Satellite L - After BIOS update the screen is black

    Hello,
    I made a BIOS update on my Windows 7 64 bit and then the OS get frozen. After I restarted the laptop, there is only black and nothing appears on the laptop.
    What can I do?

    Hi
    Have you tried to remove the battery and AC/DC adaptor? You should test this and after one hour you can connect both devices again.
    In worst case you need help from an authorized service provider. The technicians can try to reflash the ROM module.
    Sorry, but I think in this case you can do nothing.

  • After BIOS update my Equium L40 doesn't work anymore!

    Hi friends...
    Please, I need a help.
    I updated my laptop bios v1.60 to v2.00 and after that it doesn't work anymore.
    When I try to power it on nothing happens.
    Maybe I need original BIOS.
    Who has some solution? What can I do?
    Could someone help me?
    Thanks!
    My laptop is an Equium L40 series - PSL49E - 156

    Hi
    I can say what you have to do now
    You have to contact the ASP in your country for a help
    Yes, you need the ASP technician.
    I assume the ROM module where the BIOS is stored has not been flashed correctly.
    I think the ASP will try to flash it again using an special BIOS version
    Good luck

  • After BIOS update DVD driver do not read DVDs anymore - Sat A80

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A80-131 and after bios update (last version 2.5) by windows procedure update, my DVD drive do not read DVD medias anymore. It is possible to read CD medias, but not DVD one.
    Can I reinstall the old bios? Can I reinstall the firmware?
    Thanks
    Ronai Lisboa

    Hi Ronai
    Like Jimi has said in the posting above. It's very unusual that after BIOS updating the DVD drive hasn't read the DVDs.
    Furthermore it's not advisable to use any 3rd party applications to DOWNGRADE the BIOS. Usually only the ASP can downgrade the BIOS. Such procedures are very serious and the wrong procedure can damage the motherboard.
    However, it's nice that you have solved the problem and that the drive works properly.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • I tried to install maverick and now my keyboard keys F10,F11, 7,8,9 on the number pad don't work on my iMac. How do I resolve this?

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Satellite L300-26K - After BIOS update the touchpad doesn't work anymore

    Hi,
    like recommended by tempro, I updated BIOS from ver.2.1 to 2.2 (windows-Version). After rebooting, touchpad incl. tips doesnt work anymore. In bios touchpad is enabled, in system it says unit is working properly. FN/F9 makes no effect. Reinstalling synaptics drivers - no effect - still dead.
    Satellite L300-26K
    Using Vista 32bit home
    How can I restore BIOS to 2.1 again? (if i try the windows-bios utility from V2.1 it says it is still installed - so I cannot downgrade by this easy way)
    Please help - I need my notebook without external mouse (this works)
    yours

    Hi enigmo,
    I cant imagine that this happened due the BIOS update. Have you tried reinstalling Windows by using Toshiba recovery disk?
    This BIOS downgrade can only be done from an authorized service provider. The technicians can install every version because they have such special tools to make a downgrade.
    On the Toshiba website you can find a list of them. Just give the guys and ask for that. They will help you! :)

  • Satellite A300 - After BIOS update black screen

    Hello all,
    I just applied the BIOS update on my Satellite A300. After the update successful, the system does a reboot. Now when I try to power it up I get no display, I can hear the hear running, the CD Drive reading the DVD, led blinking.
    The Toshiba ASP tolled me (phone call) the mainboard should be replaced after a unsuccessful bios update, but it's very expensive for me, :(
    Please can you tell me if they are any way to fix it without mainboard replacement? The bios is a Insyde and according to the website the bios has bios [Recovery Technology|http://www.insydesw.com/press/2008/press_060308.htm]. I guess that the ASP doesn't know that.
    Please can you tell me how to start the recovery procedure if it's possible (key combination?),
    Any help about fixing the laptop without mainboard replacement will be much appreciated.

    There are cases when the chip that containes the bios is removed from the motherboard and with a memory writing device (special to do this) it is posible to rewrite the bios(in my country, Romania it is not possible at the Toshiba Service, they change the motherboard wich cost 400-500 euro, but there are guys in electronics who do things like this...).
    This is the happy case to rewrite, when this is possible. But there are exceptions when you can't do anything and you have to change the motherboard.(bad bios update coud burn your entire motherboard or several components /parts).
    In what I've read " For example, on other manufactures PC compatible systems with Award BIOS and AMI BIOS there is dedicated small area, often about 8 kiB or so, called bootblock which starts first" , if your bios si from award or ami they have lets say a small progam which starts first, checks if bios is oki then is booting normal , if not it tries to recover it and boot.
    In your case this is not possible even if you have the specific computer with that kind of bios because the screen doesn't start.
    *Your case is simillar to mine* so you could hope that your video card is broken and not your motherboard.
    My advice to you is to go to the service and diagnostic the problem and see what is the solution.

  • Satellite L - After BIOS update it won't start up again

    I just got an email saying there was a BIOS update for my laptop. It started to install but my computer shut down and won't start back up
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
    The update was: ACPI Flash BIOS version 1.90 for Sat/Sat Pro L355D/L305D (PSLE0U, PSLC0/1U)

    Hello
    And what Satellite notebook you have exactly? Is your notebook designed for this update or is it another model?
    After a failed BIOS update you can try this workaround: Remove the AC/DC adaptor and battery then wait one hour. After this connect the AC/DC adaptor and battery again. Now try to start the notebook again.
    If the notebook doesnt start you need help from a notebook technician. Therefore contact the nearest authorized service provider. They can help and will try to reflash the ROM module I think or the mainboard must be exchanged.

  • Satellite M40- after BIOS update sound doesnt work anymore

    After i was update my Toshiba M40 (ATI) from default bios to version 1.5, my sound card (audio) was disabled...
    I can't use audio - after reinstall of drivers - it's found a new hardware - but say - is broken...
    What's up?

    Hello polewiak
    I am a little bit confused with your BIOS update. I have checked the Toshiba download page and there are updates available but you must be careful which one you use.
    Version 1.50 is designed for units with INTEL graphic chip and version 1.20 for units with ATI graphic chip. If I am understood you right you have updated INTEL BIOS version on your ATI unit. Am I right?

  • E540 After BIOS update the computer wont start

    Hi!
    After I did an BIOS update from windows the computer wont start. Only the green FN key and the red "i" in the word ThinkPad lights up!
    I can't access BIOS.
    Tried tho remove the small CMOS battery for an minute

    If these long boot symptoms, following the BIOS update occur, multiple customers have reported success in resolving them  by disabling Intel AMT and setting the security chip, TPM, as active in the BIOS.
    Steps to disable Intel AMT and enable TPM settings as below.
    Boot into BIOS
    Select Config
    Select Intel AMT
    Press Enter key on Intel AMT Control and select Disable
    Press ESC twice
    Select Security
    Select Security chip and select Enable
    Press F10 and click Yes.

  • Satellite M40X: After Bios update keyboard keys don't work properly

    I have a Satellite M40X and I had update the Bios to v. 1.60 and now the keys u, m, 7 and the arrow up are not working properly. The problem is that there is not other Bios version to use.
    How can I resolve my problem?
    Can I recover the old bios version?
    Thanks
    Gabriel

    Hi there,
    no you wont be able to recover the old BIOS. The only two options are:
    1. Retry the BIOS update and check if its working
    2. In case of no success, please visit the [ASP Locator|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT] to search for the nearest ASP in your country and to ask them for a hardware checkup and repair.

  • Equium A210 - After BIOS update the DVD drive stopped working

    hi, since I have updated my BIOS recently, my DVD drive has stopped working on my Equium A210-1AS with Vista 32bit.

  • Satellite M100 - After BIOS update it doesn't boot anymore

    Hey everybody :)
    BIOS problem: I was updating *BIOS* by WinFlash and my laptop "freezed" so BIOS is DAMAGED. Laptop does't boot up.
    I was updating my XP laptop to *BIOS 3.00* version.
    How to repare BIOS?

    Hey mate,
    I agree with Akuma and I think in this case you can do nothing. If the notebook froze during BIOS update I think the ROM module is now destroyed and must be reflashed or exchanged. In this case only an ASP can help you.
    On the Toshiba website you can find a list of ASPs and you should contact the nearest one. Speak with the technicians and they will try to help you.
    Good luck! :)

  • After BIOS update I can't boot in EUFI anymore

    Hello everyone, I recently replaced my HDD for a SSD and installed Windows 8.1. Then I wanted to install the drivers because some features did not work. So I went to this: 
    http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-z-series-laptops/ideapad-z580 and started at the top. I installed the 64 bits BIOS update for Windows 7 and 8. I followed the instructions... At first I installed 5fcn95ww_public 64bit.exe. The laptop restarted and after that I was not able to boot my laptop anymore . I coulnd even boot from a USB to reinstall windwos (I thought this might help but this BIOS problem has noting to do with windows)
    I am able to go in to the BIOS and change settings... I tried to reset the BIOS but it did not help. Then I changed the boot mode in "legancy support". Now it is able to boot from my SSD. But I want it to boot from in UEFI mode. 
    Please help me. I think I just destroyed my laptop. (I'm sorry for my bad English)

    Hi mezian, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
    That's not right . I suggest you return the laptop and exchange, or call support to get it repaired.
    I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!
