i have a problem with my laptop keyboard.. it has already been replaced once and now it's going on the fritz again..

the first time.. a whole column of keys wouldnt work.. this time when i press certain buttons.. a whole bunch of other keys appears in the type.. say if i press the 0 key.. it would show 0p

if i pressed the 9 key it would show 9l.. if i pressed the 3 key on a word processor or aim.. it would paste the date and time...

i'm using an external right now.. which sucks.. but i'm getting used to it..

do you folks sell keyboards for toshiba (satellite) laptops? or if it's not the keyboard itself do you think it might be the ribbon type board thing inside? maybe you guys can do a diagnostic... TIA..

btw.. i saw you and chuckie causing trouble outside of yoru workplace.. that was me if you didnt recognize.. lol

 

We don't stock Toshiba Laptop keyboards, we have to order that from Toshiba as a replacement part. I am not exactly sure how much it would be.

As for the cause, I would guess since it was replaced previously. It could be that ribbon connecting the keyboard to mainboard, or its a problem with the mainboard itself. Or on the off chance it could be a virus causing it, highly unlikely though.

How long ago was the keyboard replaced, and who did the installation of the keyboard?

tandy computer center... by radio shack on king st..

was in december... it cant be a virus since my external is ok right?

i'm gonna demand a computer replacement if anything.. could be a lemon.. i have 2 weeks of warranty left lol... i lucked out

 

oh.. one thing.. right before it started acting like this.. the l key seemed to have been pressing itself...

nothing was holding it down.. but it seemed to be held down technically... lllllllllllll

i turned off the computer for a few hours and turned it back on and that's when this problem occur.. the l's were gone though

 

The virus is was just a thought.

I would DEFINATELY take it back to them if its still under warranty.

 

i thnk that if i b*tch and whine enough i can get them to replace the whole laptop??

this IS the second time its happening

 

Stop jizzing on ur keyboard dude!!! Just playing dude... I feel ur pain, it's t3h suck.

 

That's a good idea, but the Tandy Service center will not be able to call for the replacement. Toshiba will make the call about laptop replacement if it is under then factory warranty.

 

Well that's one way to get it to work! LOL :bukake: :banana:

 

Damn u Pang~!

 

well.. i said to them "i think you people should replace the whole computer, because it's obvious a lemon.." they didnt buy it.. so i told them i'm disappointed in toshiba as a company and i'm about ready to sell this thing and get a sony.. unless you replace it.. and they still didnt do it... so i said i was going to tell all my friends not to buy toshiba products or laptops because of how unreliable they are... and they said they didnt have a replacement policy..

so i just gave in and had them repair it.. so after the repair it's up for sale...

with that said.. "DONT BUY TOSHIBA LAPTOPS"

and with that said..
