Switching problem How do I get the @ symbol to switch back to normal from the " symbol

I had that problem before. When i installed windows 8 to my laptop, the keyboard goes that way. Try to click the key from what was the symbol appeared instead while you were pressing the 2 or @ key. Maybe they're switching each other...I cant find what was the reason why it happened, maybe the compatibility or driver issues. When i turned WIN 7 OS back...the keyboard works normally again.

Hi Aidamasansa

There is normally a switch that needs to be pressed in combination with the FN key or a switch on the side of the laptop, look for the bluetooth symbol somewhere on your laptop.
bluetooth symbol Google Search

Remove the Power Cord and battery. Press and hold the Power Button for 20 seconds. Now put the power cord back in and Press the Power Button. Did you see any lights or hear any fans running? If not, your power cord is probably bad.

ALL BOX SWITCHES HAVE A LITTLE HOLE ON BACK , YOU CAN USE A PIN TO CLICK IT AND RESET.

1. Goto Start>>Control Panel>>Regional Setting
2. Goto Language
3. Goto Detail
   
4. Change Require Settings
   

The java symbol appears if an application/game is running in the background. press the activity key to view the running application/game and select "End" to close it.

it sounds like you have turned on either your language bar settings and sometimes switch to another language, there is a function key you are hitting causing the keys to lock on that setting

footballkenn,

normally toshiba tecra has 2 type of switches for the wireless radio.

One will be the normal switch, which I think you can see it mounted on, either on the side or the front of the laptop,
another switch will be the function key on the keyboard, which require you to press the "fn" key. Check your keyboard for a wifi symbol which normally a tower with a radio wave.

Hope this help, come back if you still have the same problem, or other problem.

Your rate for my solution is much appreciated. thanks.
