NB510 Missing Arabic Letter 'Thaal'

Hi I have a new computer with the following details:

NB510-A082
PLL72V-01H00WAR
With Windows 7

The layout of the keyboard is different and the usual place of key for the letter 'Thaal' (which used to be on the left of the number 1) is no longer there. On the keyboard the 'Thaal' is now printed on the other side beneath the 'Daal' but when I try to type it, I only get a backslash.

There are two keyboard layouts installed on the computer but neither of work, I only get a backslash.

Is there a keyboard layout available which is compatible with the key layout on this computer, that I can download?

Thank you for your help

Hello Peta

Notebooks are country specific products and offered keyboard is compatible with preinstalled OS for certain region. Described problem is pretty specific so maybe you should contact Toshiba service and ask for explanation.

I presume your notebook is designed for “Middle east region”. Is this right?

Have you tried to change keyboard input language?

Thank you,

Yes, along with trying the keyboard layout, I also tried quite a few different Arabic languages. Unfortunately that didn't work either.

OK I'll try to contact Toshiba locally.
