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.

Mersedes,
I think that’s a gray area and the result depends on a person or service center you are talking too. If you would have a cracked laptop base then yes, it would be considered as a physical abuse and it wouldn’t be covered under standard warranty. But with a missing keyboard key it depends. Find a local Toshiba repair center and talk to a technician; I think you’ll get a different response.
Just in case here’s a part number for the keyboard: K000027960 and my instructions for replacing the keyboard (follow steps 1,6,7,8,9)

Hi
I just called Toshiba Satellite 1 year standard warranty and they said they can’t replace my one keycap that has fallen off because it is not covered. I am a little frusturated. Should I purchase a whole new keyboard for my less than one year laptop? If that is the only thing I can do, how can I get the keyboard part number, and how should I go about replacing it?
Model- M55-S3315
Model part # PSM50U-0M901V
Wishing for help

Rich,
I do not understand why you need the laptop model if you have the battery part number. You can find a new battery if you search on Google by the part number. This laptop should be able to handle 512MB (2x256MB). You can buy any notebook PC100 RAM. So why do you need the laptop model?

Jo-Anne,
Here’s a disassembly guide that show hot to access the cooling fan inside a Satellite A85 laptop. It’s up to you to decide if you can dismantle the laptop and replace the fan yourself.
You can find a new cooling fan if you Google by the part number: K000023650

Hi there,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A85-s107, part number PSA82U-00R004
I need to replace the fan on this machine because it makes a horrible grinding noise when I turn it on, and the computer has also started shutting down on its own probably because of overheating. I have to keep the laptop raised on a book, because when the fan grate is against a hard surface, the computer will shut down on its own. Could you let me know if I can replace it myself, and if so how I go about disassembling the machine?
Thanks!
Jo-Anne

Hi,
When I wasplugging in my power cord to my laptop, the prong inside of the laptop broke, and now it won’t charge. I need the laptop working by next week, but I can’t, because the battery is low.

I have a recently deceased Toshiba model 2805-S202, part number PS280U-0013NH. It was working fine but shut down and now is flashing the power LED with the following code: slsslsls, which I interpret by other discussions as 52hex. I tried to get what this code indicates has gone bad to no avail and, since it is long out of warrenty, would like to try to fix it myself. Some of your disassembly instructions look similar to mine but I noticed that there appear to be zillions of different Satellite constructions. I’ve already tried changing batteries or no battery.

Sorry Jamal,
I cannot find the part number for Canadian units. I work with laptops sold in the USA. Try calling these guys, may be they can help you find a US equivalent. I think you can get the part number from.
