Laptop keyboard not working right after spilling liquid

Some computers have water cooling but I suspect your laptop does not have it. When you or your 2 years old daughter (as in my case ) pours water onto the keyboard it does not just effect the keyboard. If the laptop unit was on at the time the liquid gets into the motherboard and short circuits components and eventually can corrode the links that link the multi layered circuit board.
After my one week old laptop had water poured in it by my daughter (14 years ago ) my laptop behaved exactly the same as yours.. This kind of damage is not covered under warranty.
You might be able to copy the hard drive documents off if you are lucky.
Good luck with your situation !

How do I disable the laptop keyboard to use external keyboard

Since coffee was spilled on the laptop keyboard it needs to be removed because they hold a lot of moisture that continue to seep on the motherboard and eventually cause more problems, should correct the typing issue.

Drop off a glass of water on my toshiba laptop keyboard

You must have removed the battery immediately so that the water will not seep through and short the internal circuits. If this had happened thenthe motherboard would be faulty . What could be done is to remove the keyboard and the motherboard and fully dry the board , keep aside and heat slightly using a hair dryer.Assemble after several attempts to warm off moisture and reset. if the PC does not boot, then it is best to seek consensus and estimation. Do not replace any part on a suspicion.

My keyboard does not work but mouse does

Have you recently had any accidental spills on the keyboard? If not, how old is it... it could just have deteriorated contacts due to age, or possibly a manufactuer defect?

If its within a year old, contact Toshiba and send it in... it should be covered under warranty, as long as it wasn't a consumer accident... such as dropping it or spills.

Spilled soda on toshiba laptop m505, keyboard is not working. keys don't stick anymore but not working. what do you recommend to fix it?

You need a new keyboard. The sugar in the soda caused the damage and will further corrode the keyboard.

I would also recommend that you clean the area where the soda may have spilled to on the system board.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it and give a testimonial for my response

Thanks, Joe

Keyboard just quit working

Its most likely just a bad keyboard unless something got spilled on the laptop. I would call Toshiba customer support and have a toshiba repair shop look at it. 1-800-457-7777

Toshiba R100 keyboard not working

I did the same some two years ago, with the R100 on. I switched everything off, dismounted the computer body (not the screen)up to the last screw, and dried that sweet coffee from everywhere where I found it. Mostly this was the keyboard and mouse. The motherboard is luckily protected by some plastic sheet.

Regarding the keyboard, after disconnecting it from the motherboard, I washed it completely under flowing water and then let it dry for several days. In the meantime, I used a USB one. Since then, I used the same keyboard for two years until now, when it died, apparently rather from some motherboard-related reason than water. So I think - you may get a new keyboard, but if youre lucky, you may as well revive this old one.

Good thing only the keyboard is not working! To answer your question, yes. Changing your laptop's keyboard should fix it. Letting it dry for a couple of days (depends on how wet it go) MIGHT also work. Well, if it doesn't work, just continue with your plan to change the keyboard.

Thanks for using Fixya.

thanx. wanted to add, the guy i showed it to said there was a little rust on the motherboard..... he probably cleaned it....and he also says that the external keyboard works only when the internal one is disabled.....would the change of keyboard still be useful.....
damneddle Oct 06, 2011

So, you already opened it. Yes, it should still work with a new internal keyboard.

thanx again.... how much do you think could it be for.....
damneddle Oct 06, 2011

I am not sure. It also depends from what country you are from. Here is the link to Toshiba's Support Contact Us Page:
