toshiba satellite M70 keyboard problem!

Hi, just got toshiba satellite M70 and I am quite happy with it. There is a problemwith the keyboard, the key for @ and " work in reverse, I mean if i want to write @ by prssing shift and @ key,it writes " and if i press shift and " key it writes @. How i can fix it. There is same problemwith £ and # key.

 

Exchange it? Sounds like you got a (albeit, humorous) lemon

 

Yes - it's most likely a defective keyboard. You could try updating the keyboard's drivers, however, unless this problem has been occuring in many notebooks, it's unlikely that Toshiba will have put an update for it - usually keyboards don't need new drivers.

 

Even when I attached an external USB keyboard it has the same problemas as well.

 

Thanks God. I got the solution. I am just writing it in detail so that if anyon faces the similar problem,it might help. I called one of my friends, he instructed me on phone and it,s fine now.

I went to Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, then clicked the Regional Options tab and changed it from English(UK ) to English( United States), then clicked the Languages tab, there is option Text services and input languages, i clicked the option details here and selected English(US) as defaut input language, then from Installed services options i selected the Keyboard US and clicked Add... and it,s all done. keyboad is OK now. ( I am sorry if i confuse someone by this description,in practice it was so simple). I think this problem is specific to Arabic English keyboard used in middle east, thats why i was not able to get any clear response in the forums. Infact i forgot to mentin it in my post.

I will wait for your feedback.

 

Is the version of XP on your notebook from the US/Canada? If not, that also may be causing your problem.

 

Sorry I have no idea but as i wrote above now it is ok,no problem at all.

 

Well, there are different verisons of XP (English US, English UK, French, Spanish, etc) - I was wondering if your version of XP came from somewhere besides the US. Anyways, on the plus side your problem seems to be resolved!
