'SHIFT' key on Satellite Pro C660 is not working
Posted: 30-Jun-2012 04:05

G'day,

I have a minor problem with my Toshiba Satellite Pro C660 notebook computer.
Unfortunately I had to remove the keyboard and in doing so dislodged the
flimsy plug connecting it to the computer.

The 'Shift' key has refused to work since. All the other keys work as usual.
The only problem is the 'Shift' key not working.
I have tried gently moving the plug but made no difference so now have to
use a USB keyboard.

Can you please help with suggestions to solve this problem?
Thank you for your time.

Cheers,
Sunrap.

I really don’t know what to suggest you when you know that there is no connection for every single key but for the whole keyboard.

To be honest I’ve changed keyboard many times but have never noticed such issue.
Are both SHIFT keys out of function?

G'day,
This effects both SHIFT keys.
It does not effect any other key as all work properly except the SHIFT keys..
Thanks for the interest.
Cheers,
Sunrap.

If USB keyboard works properly, this means that your internal keyboard is affected… the solution is new internal keyboard

I have fixed my problem with the often used right shift key from my laptop computer by gently lift of the cap with a small screw driver and put a very small paper ball inside the hollow plastic tube.

Greetings Joop
