Problem on Toshiba satellite PC

And if they were repairing rather than throwing and change? Rediscover the pleasure of the repairs yourself. How to diagnose a problem or find spare parts? Repair itself is way to save money generally!

Problem on Toshiba satellite PC




by Macro » 13/08/21, 10:09

Hi all…

For 1 week I have had a problem with my Toshiba laptop under window 7…. When powering up as soon as it starts to load window a powerful alarm is heard for several minutes… I made a restoration which went well except that at startup after restoration: same alarm…. in the shower so he yelled for a few minutes and when I came back he had started normally….

The problem when I click on a shortcut desktop it opens the folder on the top left of the screen ... If I open the program from the program menu on the left it opens the right program…. But I can't navigate ..When I go down to the bottom of the page with the mouse, it goes back to the top of the page immediately… .I found a solution…. I tap for several seconds on the up-down right-left arrows of the keyboard and everything becomes normal again until the next standby… .. I changed my mouse, without result, from the touchpad, same worries…

Would one of you have an idea (HS arrow button a keyboard accessibility parameter to change ???)

I did not try during the start-up phase to tap the arrows (which in my opinion must be the problem) because the power supply socket of this PC having burned down the transformer is directly soldered on the power supply card, each time that I take it for a walk, the transformer is therefore sandwiched between the screen and the keyboard and the day before the problem the computer which was (off) on a car seat slipped during anti-deer braking ... I think that There was a damage at this level ... However once the arrows tickled ... It functions normally ...

Ah yes ... The restoration has reframed the battery gauge, which since the last change by a more powerful one had always remained at a maximum of 43% despite the greater autonomy than before….

Voila ... Thank you for your possible help

Sorry I misread.
From what you write, the failure would be mechanical. The "up" and "left" keyboard navigation keys still react normally?
Wouldn't you be able to try an external USB keyboard?

General remark !

I had a Toshiba Satellite L670-LXXX between 2010 and 2014 ... broke down in 2012 barely 18 months later: blown motherboard still under warranty sent to the official after-sales service.

Except that not well repaired by the after-sales service (these bastards gave me a motherboard with an integrated graphics card beugé ... random crashes both under win and linux) ...

I only had 3 months of warranty on the repair, I was thinking of a problem with the drivers so I dragged out and the deadline had passed ... overconfidence!
I kept it for 2 years in "safe mode" use ...

Never again Toshibacaca !! I am on an ASUS from 2014 which is still flying after almost 7 years (I just operated on it to put a system SSD on it ..)

Toshiba hard drives also have a bad reputation.

A brand to avoid!

Otherwise your problem looks like a macro internal failure maybe the keyboard has taken a liquid (have you been on pornh * b recently? : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: ) ...

When it uses the internal beeper it's not good! It stinks of hardware failure.

In your place I will still try to boot under linux via a live usb boot ... but my best advice with toshiba is: throw me this shit!

It was offered to me for ... My 40th birthday ... So it has been running for almost 10 years ..... Without worries until (except 3 batteries the first under warranty) .... No liquid on the keyboard and its power supply which melted ...

I picked up a brand new keyboard at my job ... I'm going to try this ... I have to find a way to deactivate the main one at startup and that it be reversible ...

Something also, which has no relation, but changing the thermal paste of the processor, improves performance ...

Normally every 2 years it would be done ...

Except that on a laptop it is rather risky because of the optimized integration of the components especially if the processor is on the keyboard side ...
