So, next week, I have the week off with my daughter, who is on Spring Break. We’re staying at home all week, probably searching for stuff to do. A lot will depend on the crazy weather.
In anticipation of (or perhaps poor planning, in advance of..) my week off, I took my laptop in for repair. Sometimes, I’ll be typing along and when I hit the left shift key, it types “nbcZ” for me. Just for the heck of it. When I hit the right shift key, my Internet window goes full screen. For no particular reason. Sometimes, it just types 000000000000000000000000000000 on its own. Supposedly, there is a short in a circuit. We’ll see that one back in about 2 weeks.
In the meantime, don’t count on me VPN’ing into work. My work stuff was all on that machine. Darn! A real week without work stuff. What is the world coming to?
Tonight, my husband and I went to see “Wild Hogs”. It was funny in spots. Having ridden a motorcycle, some of it made me cringe… like when they lost control of a bike and it hit the pavement. Ouch. Not, “Oh, I hurt myself badly” ouch, but “OMG… look what you just did to your bike!” ouch.
What did you do with your weekend?
hello lisa,
i have the same problem with my laptop that you identified on Sunday, 1 April, 2007 at 3:27 am in your blog. do you recall the exact problem that caused the nbcz thing and full screen mode. i would have placed a question mark on that last question, but as you know, i can’t use the shift key.

You know that special keyboard area off to the side with the DVD play buttons? Something is wrong with it. A toshiba repair place needs to take a look at it.

My Toshiba works perfect now. I removed keyboard and disconnected all ribbon cables and reinstalled them. Must have been a loose connection. No parts were required. If you feel confident in your ability to disassemble your laptop, search for step-by-step instructions on the internet. Good luck.
Mine’s been fixed for ages. Mine needed new parts, though. Glad yours was fixed so easily!
