Sirgatory Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Alright well my dad got a toshiba tecra 730xcdt for free from work like 6/7 years ago. It has worked fine up until about 2003. the keyboard malfunctioned, who knows why. all i know is that the laptop is now mine to use anywhere i want, the only problem is the "a, z, q, 1, tab, backspace, number pad" key do not work whatsoever. So, when i want to type an essay up, or use instant messenger, i have to connect a huge keyboard to the thing so i can use it. I would rather be able to use the regular default keyboard, so my question to you is this. is there any possible way to fix it? PLease note we have already tried taking the keyboard out of our other one and putting it in the broken one, which broke that comp too. So we're not risking takign out the keyboard. THANKS :) My old signature had to do with PKing the classic way.Unfortunately, that is no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS :) its easyer to buy a new laptop and use a transfer program to transfer all your settings and files between the two The following statement is true. The previous statement is false. 60% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time andrew i love you & want you to have my babys!!!

Guest andyizcool Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 When my laptop keyboard has a few keys not working I turn it upside and bang it a few times to knock out any dirt that might be jamming the keys below. If you can't fix your problem your best bet is to buy a PC keyboard and plug it in the back because buying a new laptop would cost more than a keyboard.

freddiemerc Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 could you not just get a decent, more compact keyboard to go with the laptop? i have a laptop and always use an attached keyboard so i dont get RSI, as most laptops give u that if u type for too long!

ale_jrb Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 There is also the possiblitlity that you have set up the languages wrong or changed the settings accidently and are using a different keyboard set-up. Have you checked your not using a different set-up or something? "Charm is a way of getting the answer 'yes' without asking a question." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
