Some wireless mouses and keyboards come with a disk. Did yours? If so, install it. You can also try to configure your computer to use the wireless mouse. For windows vista, go to --- Control panel>hardware and sound--- there you can change your mouse and keyboard settings.... hope this helps

FN is the function button usually relating to the blue characters on the keyboard. It is used like the shift key when wanting to use the secondary character on the keys.

What is your operating system?
When does this occur? Is it the XP login screen or somewhere else?

Here are the fix steps: 1. Turn off your computer 2. Disconnect every wire from it (including power) 3. Disconnect the battery from the bottom of the computer. There will be two tabs labeled 1 and 2. 4. Re-plug in the power wire. (the battery should not be in the computer) 5. Turn on the power. The screen will work. Choose start windows normally. (if you get that screen) 6. Go to Control Panel -> (Mobile PC) -> Power Options -> Under Balanced choose change plan settings 7. Choose Change advanced power settings 8. Find Processor power management and change the minimum processor state from 5% to 100% for each On battery and Plugged in. 9. Click Apply then OK 10. Shut down you computer. 11. Disconnect the power cord. 12. Re-install the battery on the bottom of the laptop, plug in the power cord, and restart the computer. You should be good to go.

try updating your web browser, or updating flash player.
Also try a windows update, assuming your using windows.
If that fails, then reinstall your web browser, or check that your addons are enabled correctly.
Good luck :)

Whats causing my Toshiba Satellite U205-S5002 laptop to keep freezing? Need assistance on how to troubleshoot the problem.

Desk top or laptop? Either way a new keyboard is not that much. I'd really consider buying a new one.Hope this information will help. Your response is very much appreciated...Thank you for using Fixya...

Hi,
Welcome to Fixya. I would like to know if this is a password on the BIOS or Windows Login Password? Please provide the information needed to be able to fix the issue.
Thanks

Are you getting the splash screen and BIOS screens? If you used an external display and two mother boards with no luck, sounds like a connection of some kind.

First, be sure that you are not exceeding the memory capacity of the computer.
Next, it's best to use memory modules from the same manufacturer. Sometimes when using two different brands, you get the result that you see.

You can do one of two things, first would be to download the software from Toshiba's website (download the one for Vista) After you download & save it to your desktop, right click on it and choose properties then go to the compatibility tab and check the box for Run in Compatibility Mode. Then

Is that password coming up at the middle of the screen after you press the power button? (see image below)




If it is, that's a BIOS password and somebody might have put a password on your machine. If you don't know who set it up (or it just magically appeared one day), you need to have that removed by calling Toshiba Support at 1-800-457-7777 (for US) and 1-800-663-0378 (for Canada).

If you tech savy yourself, follow the guide below on how to remove that BIOS password.

1. Turn the computer OFF.
2. Disconnect the AC adapter, and remove the battery.3. On the bottom of the computer, remove the memory cover screw, the memory cover, and the memory module(s) -- as shown in the photo below.



4. With the computer oriented as in the photo above, carefully peel back the clear Mylar film. Pull this film to the side enough to expose the JOPEN1 solder pads (see photo below). It may be convenient to tape the film to the computer's case. Do not remove the film completely, because it may be impossible to re-attach it correctly.
5. Short the JOPEN1 solder pads on the system board for 30 seconds. Needle-nose pliers or a flat-blade screwdriver works well to short the jumper.


6. Re-position the Mylar film over the system board.
7. Reinstall the memory module(s), and re-attach the memory cover.
8. Re-insert the battery.
9. Restart the computer to verify that the password prompt no longer appears. If it does still appear, then repeat this procedure, starting with step 1.


Good luck

Hi callaw c...
Sounds like you need to update your drivers, once all your drivers are installed, shut down,restart and your wireless should work then.
You can download your drivers at the following webpage.

i suggest to bring it to the service center of Toshiba,for the safest way of replacement of your PC.

If your computer didn't come with a recovery disk and you failed to make one when you first started using the computer, you can purchase one from Toshiba. Just go to their website.

Disk read error is, most likely, a bad hard drive. Seeing this message means that the operating system (Windows) didn't even get a chance to load before running aground. This model uses 2.5" SATA drives and 80G is the smallest size ever sold. You can probably get a replacement drive (new or used) locally or thru eBay or Amazon, and they should be pretty cheap (new ones should run for about 20 cents to 25 cents per gig. That'd be your best bet.

If you download and install Adobe Reader, you can see .PDF files like insurance cards for your automobile for instance. Emails don't require .pdf file capability, usually, but traditional printed documents available online are usually put into the .pdf file format.
