Hello,
Try restarting your PC and check whether the problem occurs. This problem can occur while you choose num key accidentally or sometimes even due to the damaged key caps. If it's because of the keycaps then contact toshiba service center.
1. You most probably have switched on 'Num Lock' mode on your keyboard. Tty to switch back to the 'normal' mode by pressing 'Num Lock' (NumLK or similar) key or Fn+NumLock (depends on your notebook/keyboard model). In the Num Lock mode on the many notebook keyboards pressing U (not V) will produce 4 and / is located near the space, so may be you keyboard have mapped space key to / sign in the Num Lock mode or you just mistyping (you didn't specified the particular model which is mandatory for such a questions).
2. Some transient software or hardware failure. Try to switch your notebook off then on. Next try to fully cut off power - take off PSU connector and take off the battery from the compartment, then take them back.
3. If above advices will not help, thus your keyboard seems to be some kind damaged. If this is the case, most probable reason is internal line short circuit by the liquid (water, etc), leaked to the keyboard. You can order a new/used keyboard from store/ebay or try to fix yours. Some notebook keyboard (pulled off from the compartment - look for service manual or video for your model) are relatively easy to disassemble, and clean mechanical parts and the button matrix films with alcohol or some similar solvent to to clean off short circuiting oxides and eliminate issues.
Most notebook and some desktop keyboards are difficult to disassemble and assemble back due to the multiple (decades) plastic rivets used to assembly all the layers together. Once you disassemble and separate layers to clean, thus You shall restore rivets some way upon the back assembly (new rivets, soldering iron or some glue). On other hand the desktop keyboards are easy to disassembly/assembly and clean in most cases. Most of them are assembled with a few decades of the standard screws.
Next problem you can experience upon disassembly is a pads and traces corrosion. That's why any electronic devices should be powered off immediately, then disassembled and cleaned ASAP once the liquid leakage occurred. Drying is not enough solution and cannot guarantee some oxides didn't covered parts inside will not [partially] short circuit and/or corrode these parts especially upon current will flow again. Moreover this will most probably occur upon a time once liquid reached some important device components inside. Fixation could not be done later in some cases once corrosion have fully destroyed some components. Damaged traces and pads on the keyboard films which made of some conducting composite with aluminium or graphite powder, could be fixed with a special expensive conductive adhesive (glue). Being an experienced electronic engineer, I have successfully fixed a few boards, but this work is very precision, complicated and time consuming (lost a few hours for every case and was forced to asm/disasm tens of times to precisely sharpen pad layers).

There are several extra function keys on your laptop. Something like "Fn" is common to most of the notebooks, and is used to control secondary fuction of a key. You will see keys marked with other than the ordinary alphabetic letters. These are the secondary fuctions. The purpose of all the secondary keys are explained in the manual that accompanies your laptop. you may have pressed a key combination unknowingly as a result you see this problem. Pressing the same combination will revert it back to normal operation. You should also check the key contacts are free from dust and other particles. If some thing like milk or water is spilt on it, then it is normal to get these problems, ultil it is cleaned.

Hi,
This is the best way to download the drivers of all your devices which are connected to the system for free.
But you have to be patient.
First, i want you to download a ree program called "Orbit download manager" from the link below,
http://dl.orbitdownloader.com/dl/OrbitDownloaderSetup.exe
And then you can download a program called "Driver genius" from link
http://www.qwerks.com/download/6776/drvgenpro.exe
it is a trial program for 15 days
dont worry we only need it for 5 minutes
Install & run the program & in the windows click on the update the drivers
It will check & it will give the window with the drives that needs to be updated & it will not update a it is a trial one.
So you just right click on the driver name, you will get a message called 'copy url address 1' copy that & open the orbit downloader & click on the create new download & paste the link the drivers will be downloaded for free.
Some sites give these drivers only for the money & we cannot be able to find them from the free sites, so i think this would be a nice trick.
Good Luck.
Live, Love, Laugh.

i just had the same exact problem.
it just meant that your phone's software is the old "04 "version.
they come out with a new version so you hve to go the verizon store and ask them to update it to the newer version and all problems will be solved.

The space bar on your unit is on the bottom of the keyboard, next to the "M" key. It looks something like this [, but on it's back. Let me know if this helps.
