More than likely a stuffed keyboard connector, happens all the time on laptops. See if you can find a friendly hardware outfit! grab a new keyboard and have a crack at this (if your up to it) : http://www.laptopka.com/2006/04/30/r...oard-yourself/ Most toshiba's are the same or very similar

Try going into device manager and see if you noraml keyboard is listed.

There should be two keyboards. Also see if you can use you laptop keyboard by entering BIOS at boot up - Then exit BIOS without saving.

I don't mind helping but please mark your thread as solved once the problem is sorted. If you figure it out tell us how you did it, don't just abandon your thread!
