If your Toshiba laptop is not under warranty anymore and you have decided to open and repair it yourself , then you should know how to find a part number for the laptop part you want to replace. Almost every part and cable in Toshiba laptops has its own part number and should be replaced only with the same part or a substitute part. To find the part number look for a sticker or for a sign on the part. Toshiba part number would be something like V000040870, A000004270, P000343780, etc. After you find the part number you can search here.
If you cannot find a part number for your Toshiba laptop, I can help you. Just leave me a comment with the part name you are looking for, the laptop model name and the laptop model number. For example: laptop model name Toshiba Satellite A75-S211 and laptop model number PSA70U-0WK00G. This information is located on the sticker on the bottom of your laptop.
I would be able to help to find a part number only for laptops sold in the USA.
Here are more tips for finding a correct part for your notebook.

I just started a new project – free laptop repair related classifieds.

Hi Guys,
I am not sure this post belongs here, so I will make it quick!
Does anyone know how you disconnect the keyboard cable from the system board? I have tried and it seems to be holding tight. Is there a ‘knack’ to it?
Many thanks,
Nick

How does one get ahold of you for additional repair work when you don’t have a contact page?
I have some work I’d like to get done and/or have your help and I don’t see any post that I could comment on that fits.
Let me know. Thanks!

Hi Alexander,
It is not the FL inverter problem. FL inverter provides the power to the backlight bulb and when it goes bad you loose the backlight. First of all I would try to upgrade the video driver. It could be a corrupted or incorrect video driver. It might be necessary to reload Windows OS. Not sure about pink interference lines, never seen it before.

Hi,
I just purchased a Toshiba A75-S206 and am kicking myself for buying it. I have a feeling the screen is on its way out. The original issue was the power plug. I have changed it. The machine itself works great. However, in the upper left hand corner at the login screen is a large circle. The screen is physically in good condtion. Doesn’t even have a scratch. I can boot into the BIOS and hookup an external monitor without this “circle” there. When you logon, the circle goes away. But some of the lines are still present. I’m trying to figure out if its a hardware issue (which I’m leaning towards) or a driver issue. My guess is it’s either an inverter or the screen itself. Anyone else have this problem before? you can see the pictures at:

I have the originals and the ones I’ve resized posted.

Hi highspeeddirt,
I haven’t seen Toshiba Satellite M55 with heat issue yet. You can easily clean the heatsisnk and the fan if you remove the keyboard from the lapop (Steps 1,6,7,8,9,11). If the laptop is warm in the area of the hard drive, it is possible that hard drive will fail soon.
I guess your laptop is still under Toshiba warranty. Take it or ship it to a Toshiba repair center and mention your problem with a hot hard drive. They will replace it. Do not open the laptop case yourself if it is still under warranty, it will void the warranty.

Hi Rex,
I think all you can do is search for a new updated driver on Linkys website.

Do you know anything about toshiba satellite model m55-3294 having heat issues? Mine seems to be really warm in the area where the hard drive is located. Thanks!

Hey Alex,
I am 99.99% positive that you cannot use a Toshiba M200 digitizer for iBook. Here is a guide for removing and replacing Toshiba Portege M200 digitizer.

I would like to put a Toshiba M200 digitizer behind my iBook 12″ lcd. Can you tell me how the digitizer connects to the Toshiba mobo (serial, usb…) and if you think it is possible to connect it to an iBook?
thanks much
