Satellite Pro L650-1QG: Keyboard button mismatch

Dear audience,
i am not satisfied with the keyboard-setting of my Satellite Pro L650 1QG I5-4.
Before I had a Satellite S5200-701 which worked well for almost 8 years after i have replaced almost any critical component at half-duration.
However, finally the Controller was out of order and last week the Laptop was not functioning anymore after this problem resided for half a year but the Laptop did not fail until last week which prompted me to install and use my new laptop.
I felt very comfortable with my old laptop and his settings.
However, the new laptop has an akward setting of its keyboards.
"ALT GR" is replaced with respect to my old keyboard and now the "CTRL" button has exactly the same position as on my old laptop so that it is possible that I write an "CTRL Q" when i liked to type "ALT GR Q" or "@" which happens quite often and shuts down the program (EXIT).
How can this problem be solved. Is it possible to get a fix? Either by replacing the CTRL-button with a deaf one or by changing the setup of the Computer?
I am not sure that I can adapt to this problem since any "normal" keyboard is different and looks like that of my old laptop and working with a USB-Keyboard is no solution!
Thanks, Headlost

I think there are no many options for youYou used a keyboard which supported a different layout the L650-1QG supports the 102(Euro) A4+10key flat standard black keyboard this might be different to the older Satellite 5200-701 keyboard.
Not sure if you could replace the keyboards because of the measures so maybe the one and only option for you is the usage of external USB keyboard which would be similar to Satellite 5200-701 keyboard

Re: Satellite Pro L650-1QG lags terribly Windows 7 64bit

Hi all,
my Satellite Pro L650-1QG started to lag terribly (Windows 7 - 64 bit, Service Pack): It now often reacts delayed on input (mouse clicks, opening new tabs in browser, typing letters in Open Office etc.). Sometimes the lags are 3-5 seconds, often more, sometimes shorter. In the meantime, cursor changes to "swirling ring"-symbol. Video and Audio sometimes staggers while playing e.g. Youtube-movies. This also happens in secure boot mode.
- I reinstalled Windows through Toshiba HDD Recovery.
- Windows is up to date.
- Drivers are up to date.
- BIOS was updated in March as suggested by Toshiba. Everything went fine for month after that.
- Avira Antivir, Windows Defender and Spybot S&D do not show any hits
- PC Health shows average CPU temperature and "good" hard disk drive status
- No fingerprint software is installed (which is suggested as a source for lags in the knowledge database)
Do you know of any possibility to identify the problem?

First, thank you all for your advise. Unfortunately I still have the same problem, after trying the following:
- Installing the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Software (11.6.0.10309) - as mentioned above
- Disabling TosSENotify and ToSWaitSrv via CCleaner from the Autostart - which amounts to switching of Toshiba HDD Protection, I think
- Deactivating the Wireless Adapter and Ethernet Adapter in the Device Manager
Obviously the notebook worked somewhat faster, but I still encounter the short freeze periods. Oh dear...

Satellite Pro L650-1CG - HDMI output not working

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite Pro L650-1CG, Intel i3-350M, ATI 5650, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD
When I plug my laptop into my Toshiba HDTV and select 'Connect to a projector', all I get on the TV is a black screen.
Catalyst Control Centre can 'see' the TV, and I can adjust resolution options for both displays, but no matter what options I try, I can't get the TV to show a picture/sound.
The TV is obviously detecting SOMETHING, because it goes from a blue screen to black. On device manager, I can see the HDMI Codec but even though it says it's enabled, I can't set it as default. It says underneath that it is 'unplugged', and when I run the HDMI Control program, it says 'To use HDMI Control, you must enable it'.
I have all the latest ATI/sound drivers, as well as pretty much every driver update out there. Also, there is nothing wrong with the cable or my TV, my PS3 uses the same connection.

Generally speaking the whole thing is quite simply. From time to time I connect my Satellite P500 to BRAVIA LCD TV and I get pic on it in 5 seconds only.
TV is on
Notebook is ON
Connecting HDMI cable on both devices
On TV I must enable HDMI port
On notebook use FN+F5 and I get all available options and switch to TV only.
It works perfectly.
I dont know why you use projector option. Is HDMI port enabled properly on your TV?

Satellite Pro L650 Series - White balance of screen error

Hi all,
I am using a Satellite Pro L650 series. When I use the laptop for several hours, my screen becomes wrong white balance. In detail, the screen brightens so dazzling with strange white color. If I open some website, the pictures in the website becomes blurred images.
If I set the screen in blue color, it cannot easy realize the dazzling color, but if I set the screen in white or green and yellow, it become so abnormal colors and blurred.
I have to restart my computer, and this problem can be solved.
Is there anyone meet this problem like me?
Could you share to me what the problem is? and what is the solution for this problem?
Thank you very much,

Hi
Did you notice this screen issue running notebook with main power or just using battery power?
I read about similar notebook screen issue which was related to Intel display power saving technology.
In such case you could solve this disabling this feature. Go to Intel display panel - power tab - power source/battery - power conservation feature - display power saving technology and uncheck this option.

Satellite Pro P300 Numeric keyboard at same time as alphabetic keyboard?

Hello,
I'm new here, and english isn't my mother tongue, then, please be indulgent ;-)
I have a problem with my numeric keyboard.
It is not possible to make it work in the same time as the alphabetic keyboard.
When I press numlock to make it work, it also change the alphabetic keyboard in numeric.
Example : numlock on uiojklnm, = 456123n0,
I have a QWERTZ keyboard.
Thanks for your help
cheers
Val

Hello,
I have the exact same problem since ever: same machine, same symptoms.
I have just upgraded BIOS, also upgraded from Vista to Win7 and the problem remains. Pressing Fn+F11 toggles NumLock as in a laptop with small keyboard, so I have two keypads active on none!
An external keyboard works ok; Something curious: accessing other PCs using Logmein it works ok local and remotely (!)
Please advise!!
thanks,

Satellite Pro L20: TouchPad control button has collapsed

I have reported two other faults with my notebook in other posts, in relation to those this is very minor but its still very annoying:
The left TouchPad control button on my notebook, usually evenly supported from below, appears to have given way on one side, so that it does not operate with the same spring action on one side of the left button. It wobbles like a loose tooth.
Is this sort of problem easily fixed? Until i get a USB mouse i'm stuck with the TouchPad, but the persistent sound of the plastic surfaces scratching against each other is infuriating!

Just short comment to your posting: I have noticed that the quality of mouse buttons on the notebooks is not the same. On my Tecra it is really perfect and pressure on any point gives the same result but on low budget notebooks, like L series, it is not the case.
I know that it is pretty annoying but unfortunately there is nothing to do. Because of that the usage of external mouse is reasonable.

Satellite Pro L650 - System Recovery Media lost

Hello,
excuse my English pronunciation.
I got a laptop of my clients who has unfortunately created during installation no backup. Now he has installed Windows XP directly after the purchase and created no medium. Since we ourselves only Professional - customers we have no installation disc for the customer. Is there a way to help our customers and to get an installation disk for Windows 7 64bit without buying?
Thanks for answers.
Tobias

> ...and to get an installation disk for Windows 7 64bit without buying?
And how to do this? Your client was warned by Toshiba reminder that recovery disc should be created for further OS installation in case HDD recovery will be damaged or deleted.
So now if he wants to have recovery image again he must buy it. as second option there is OS installation using Microsoft installation disc.
All necessary drivers, tools and utilities must be installed additionally one by one but all of them you can find on Toshiba download page.
One more important thing:
Many people here think that recovery image is saved on HIDDEN partition. This is not truth. HDD recovery image is saved on usual second HDD partition in folder called HDDRecovery.

Satellite Pro A100 - Resume from Sleep with IR multimedia remote control or keyboard

Hi Guys
I have dedicated my Satellite Pro A100 to be a media center that sits under the TV and can play networked media and DVD's etc.
This is using Vista.
The set up I want is that the lid is shut 24/7 365 and when I want to use it I just press "SLEEP" or power button from the remote control or keyboard and it fires up ready for action.
POINT TO NOTE. I successfully did this with my OLD Tecra M3. However was too slow for media center and vista
However I have set the power settings as I want etc, shut lid do nothing, and enabled hybrid sleep (preferred sleep).
Now I CAN put it to sleep with the multimedia keyboard or remote control. BUT can I wake it?...NO!. I have thought of everything possible....gone to device manager and made sure all the options for the remote and the keyboard and the USB reciever are set to WAKE FROM SLEEP. The only thing to wake it is the power button - which defeats the purpose of it being sat there like a dvd player.
when awake the remote and the keyboard function fine - I have made sure the batteries are recharged.
I have the latest BIOS and speaking of BIOS's there are no S3 power options I noticed , but then there werent on the M3 and that worked fine in terms of sleep and waking with the IR.
I come to the forum because although I know some older systems will not work with vista - IF the M3 will work - I am sure the twice as new and powerful A100 will.
Has anyone had this before - what have I missed it must be staring me in the face.
Thanks in advance.
P.S Also of late the touch pad has been playing up i.e the left and right clickers swap function so one second your working as normal next minute you left click and the right clikc menu appears. Reset BIOS - rebuilt - reinstalled synaptic - no difference.
When I worked in support for a big company when this started happening it wasnt good news - is it bad news?

Hi
Im not quite sure why it doesnt on your Sat Pro A100 and why it works on M3.
But fact is that Satellite Pro A100 doesnt support the FIR (Fast InfraRed) port and the
Tecra M3 supports the Fast InfraRed port.
Maybe this could be the reason why you cannot enable the notebook using the infrared multimedia remote control.

How can I restart Satellite Pro L360-14E over an external keyboard

Toshiba Satellite PRO L360-14E
Toshiba Power-Saver
How can I restart notebook over an external keyboard, if it were shifted before by the Toshiba power Saver into the state of rest?

Sorry but I dont understand exactly what do you want to do?
Why you want to power up the notebook using external keyboard?
Why you dont press the power button on the notebook?
If you want to wake up the notebook from i.e hibernation then you have to press the power button.
Thats it.

Satellite Pro A300D - What is the model number for the keyboard?

My husband managed to dislodge a keycap on my keyboard, and broke the white scissor clip that holds hit on...(don't ask me how)
He spoke to the authorised service centre here in Norway, and they sent us replacement scissor clips (actually they sent an old non-functioning keyboard) but the clips are of a different design to the ones on my laptop.
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of the model/serial number of the keyboard used in the Satellite Pro A300D-151 (PSAK9E) so I can get the correct replacement part.
I really don't want to have to replace the whole keyboard when it's just 1 of the scissor clips that is broken...the laptop is only 5 months old.
Here are some photos of the scissor clip in question & the where it attaches to the keyboard (sorry about the quality)

Thanks
notsure

Hi
Sorry buddy but its not possible to exchange some single keys on a keyboard so in this case you must replace the complete keyboard. But normally this should not be so difficult.
Either you exchange the keyboard yourself or you sent the notebook to the authorized service provider.
The model number for the keyboard is not known to me but contact your ASP!! They can order all Toshiba parts and they should know the right part number.
Bye

Why does Satellite Pro A300 not start when the power button is pressed?

Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 will not start correctly when the power button is pressed. The situation is this: When I press the power button the Toshiba opening picture (Leading Innovation) appears and disappers quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. Then there is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation underneath. And nothing happens however long I wait.
In order to get on with the starting proces I then shut down the computer by pressing down the power button until the computer stops. ("The hard way to shut down")
Now I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then the computer starts normally with the Toshiba opening picture and after a few seconds I am asked to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.
What shall I do to get a normal start procedure?

When notebook starts normally (after choosing normal mode) shut down your notebook properly using START > Shut down option. Next start should be normal.
When the OS is switched down on irregular way you will be always asked how to start it again (safe or normal mode).
The same happen on my Satellite A300.
