I am working on my friends toshiba satellite for her. But I can't seem to get her computer keyboard working. Sometimes half of the keyboard will work, sometimes it will not work at all. reformat didn't fix it, toshiba sucks with their keyboard drivers but I think a reformat eliminated that solution anyway. I have tried unplugging it and the battery for a few min, I have even tried my mind powers of persuasion nothing is working. Solutions?
Does this occur handiest while you play on-line? All the time or at random? Sometimes the servers can lag out and can receive the final enter for a interval of time. If you are utilizing a specified keyboard, check out updating/putting in the drivers for it. It could repair the problem. Check if the pins for the connector arent damaged. A lot of folks ***** approximately their keyboard having issues like this and record damaged pins within the connector.
Before you try to mind control your keyboard, I suggest you open the keyboard cover. Google for the laptop model, and try to find step-by-step instructions on how to disassemble the keyboard. On most notebooks, you first need to unscrew underneat the notebook area, opet in up, and then gently remove the keyboard. The connection between the keyboard and the notebook is a thin wire connector with square insulation. You can slide it out with no hard work. Also, make sure your friend didn't spill any coffee or water on the keyboard. It is possible it got fused. Also, if the notebook is old, there might be dust on, or the connector just got pinned off. Anyways, open it and see how things look. Hope that helps, -Petar
The onboard cable connector is also a big problem especially if its opened without care. make sure the connector is ok and all pins are visible. Otherwise if its onboard like Dell you will end up buying a new motherboard for that.
