Toshiba satelite S855-S5188 Freaks out and doesn't respond

Hey, i bought a Toshiba Satelite S855-S5188 from NewEgg.com about two months ago, at first i thought it was nothing, which then Subsequently it ceased to occur for a period of time but now it has been starting back up, this time i have to Shut it down in order to stop it from continuing and to gain control of it again.
What happens is, Randomly, With no specific Action, it becomes Unresponsive, like when i type it doens't want to type and then it Zooms in and out Crazy like, not only that the Cap locks seems to freak out as well, like the light that shows Caps are on is lit up, but the keys come out as if it's off and then the numbers come out as symbols as if i am Holding the Shift key down. this doesn't seem to happen with any one application, it happens when i play World of Warcraft or just simply turn the laptop on to log into Facebook and  i am sending a message. I hope it's something Easily fixed and this is my first Toshiba Laptop ever, as i only ever had two laptops this one included, but if some people are expierencing the same issue and such a response on the matter would be much appreciated, Thanks!
Solved!

Since it's under warranty, Matthew, I would call Tech Support at 1-800-457-7777 about the problem.  When you first got it, it could have been immediately exchanged for another by NewEgg. I believe you have had a bad keyboard from the beginning.  The repair will be free under warranty.

  • My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. Please help.

    My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. In the past when I have updated successfully, the spinning circle would show me an indicator of time left on the update. I no longer have this Indicator. The circle just spins and times out and nothing happens. I've reset the iPad in the settings menu, reset the router, logged in and out of Apple id, powered ithe iPad off and on, and tried a couple other "fixes" that I've read online. So far no luck. AAny help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks!

  • HT2341 why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

    why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

    When you go to System Preferences > Sound what does it say for Output? Have you had headphones plugged in? Sometimes the headphone jack gets stuck thinking it has something plugged in when there isn't anaything there. SMC also has something to do with Sound:
    SMC RESET

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen froze! blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off, or connected to my laptop

    my ipod touch 4th gen froze! only blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off or connected to my laptop!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Safari screen grayed out and doesn't function. Help.

    Suddenly, the Safari browser stopped working. The screen appears grayed out and touching buttons in the Safari content area doesn't do anything. The search and address windows work and new pages load, but they don't function. The back and forward and other buttons also don't work.
    I haven't changed anything (that I know about)since the last time everything worked a few minutes ago.
    TIA for your help.

    Have you tried resetting the iPad?
    reset iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the
    Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • When I turn on my iPad and. Go onto the Internet the wireless router cuts off and the Internet stops working and doesn't respond

    Hello,
    When I turn on my iPad 2 and go onto the safari and go onto google the wireless router cuts off and turns the Internet off and the Internet doesn't respond and then after I have to turn the router off and turn it on and then it is back to normal it has happening when I recently updated the new iOS 6 on my iPad since then it was been doing this please can you help and help me sort the problem out
    Thanks

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Kernal freaks out and cd drive doesn't work.

    I had trouble booting up my imac and it says something about the kernal not working during the boot up stage. I took out one of the sticks of ram and it will boot up fine. Does that mean that my ram is bad.
    Also my cd drive doesn't work. I just put in a cd and it spits it out. I tried all sorts of cd's and it has the same results.
    Please let me know what I can do.

    If it works with different ram, then that means the ram that's in there when it won't boot is likely faulty. The kernal panics are likely due to the bad ram. Return and/or exchange it and double check to make sure you got the right type of ram. You want PC2-5300 (667MHz) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303721
    Secondly the drive issue sound like a failure of it to work al together. If you're under warranty I'd call Apple to arrange a repair, or take it into an Apple Store or Authorised Service Provider.

    Hello there, Mandkudras.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for troubleshooting your issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Particularly:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • After installing the newest Firefox update my "back" button is grayed out and doesn't work

    Actually, I have quite a few problems with the new version of Firefox. My windows and tabs from previous session don't open, even though I have that checked in Options; have had Firefox crash and freeze much more often; and more.
    I really hate this new version and wish Firefox would stop "fixing" something that wasn't broken, or at least wait a little longer before issuing "upgrades" until more bugs get worked out.
    If it' not obvious, I HATE this new Firefox--enough that I might go back to IE, which I swore years ago never to do.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Powerbook freaking out (and so am I) is this the end? Hard to describe prob

    Hello,
    Recently, and for no apparent reason my PB started to spazz out. It initially works ok, but after a while, It behaves as if several keys are stuck. The F10 function of see all open windows on the screen at once triggers on and off, the icons on the desktop get highlighted one-by- one, and any windows that are highlighted where text can be typed just type seemingly random characters endlessly. This makes it VERY difficult, if not impossible to use until the computer stops spazzing out. I tried resetting the PRam, Diskwarrior, Disk Utility,letting the machine cool down, even reinstalling the OS. I've tried searching the forums, but I don't even really know how to describe this problem! Can anyone help?

    It sounds to me the keyboard may have gotten dirty, and some keys are actually stuck. Cleaning one of those keyboards is difficult. One of these stores may be able to replace it for you:

  • Hard drive screw fell out and doesn't load half the times. (t41)

    I have a T41 thinkpad and i saw the screw on the bottom holding the hard-drive is gone.  When i turn off/on computer it sometimes loads, sometimes is very touchy where if i bump lower right side it turns off hard-drive.  What should i do?

    Pull the hard drive out entirely, then push it back in as far as it will go...and make a trip to the local hardware store. I'm sure that $1 or less will resolve this issue.
