Solve : HELP. My Toshiba Laptop Auto Fills and Has a Long Beep On Enter Password Startup? |
|
Answer» HI everyone, I was hoping you geniuses can help me get my Toshiba Satellite C655-S5514, that's running Windows 7 Home Premium, up and running again. I looked over the other forum topics but couldn't find what I was looking for, so I thought it would be better to ask directly. Here's my issue, This laptop has sat in my closet for about a year. I haven't been using it since I also have a desk top. Anyway, I pulled the laptop out today and plugged in the power cord, opened the screen and then hit the power button. When I did, the screen showed the Toshiba logo screen and then immediately WENT to the black screen with the blue box that says Enter Password, BUT all of a sudden, the password box automatically filled up and then the laptop started a long, continuous beep. Not a beep, beep, beep, etc., but just one long beep. When I press the keyboard buttons, like the backspace or anything else, it doesn't do anything. Now, if I turn it off and then back on, it keeps doing the same thing EXCEPT, if I hold down any key and then turn on the laptop, the same screens will come up but the password window won't auto full and it doesn't beep. Once I let go of the keyboard key I'm holding down, the password window will only auto FILL 2 digits instead of filling up all the way and there's no beep at all on the times I try this. If anyone can help me, I would forever be in your debt. Thanks so much for reading my long post. Take care guys and gals. Shawnymike Sounds like you have a keyboard problem. Could be damaged or full of dust or DEBRIS, or have one or more stuck keys. It may need replacing. Consider a visit to a repair shop. It sounds like you may have a stuck key. You may be able to visually inspect the keyboard and find the key that's stuck. Often a sharp rap with your finger on the key is enough to free it. If you are somewhat handy, a laptop keyboard is fairly easy to replace, usually only 2 screws and a small ribbon cable. There's tutorials available to show you how to replace the keyboard. You should be able to buy a keyboard on Ebay for around $20 or so (slightly more if your keyboard is backlit). I'd also replace the CMOS battery.... |
