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.

Lynn,
First of all search for the part number in the memory slot or under the keyboard, it will be a P-number, something like this: P000386870. If you cannot find this number, read the following.
Satellite M35 notebook has two different bases and each base requires a specific motherboard. Unfortunately I cannot give you a correct part number for the motherboard until you give me an A-number from the motherboard. This A-number looks like this: A5A000897010, it’s just an example and your number can be different.
For some stupid reason this number cannot be easily accessed, it’s located on the motherboard under the top cover. You cannot see it even if you remove the keyboard. It’s necessary to remove the top cover. Find this number and I’ll find the motherboard part number for you.
Try this part numbers just to get an idea how much they are: P000386870, P000400260, P000431260. These are boards with 64MB video memory.

Kytriya,
I believe that under this warranty extension Toshiba will fix any issue with your laptop, if it’s Satellite M30X, M35X, A70 or A75 purchased in the United States. If the motherboard has to be replaced they will replace it. Take the laptop to a local authorized repair center and talk to them.

When I called Toshiba, they did not mention an extension of my warranty. However, I have a satellite A75-2112, and it does qualify for $50 towards getting the static issue dealt with, which they also did not mention. However, what can I do about a sound drive that keeps having to be reinstalled? They said I might have a faulty motherboard because the Realcrap sound driver keeps going faulty, the volume controls grey out, and a complete delete of realcrap from laptop, trashing all remnants of realcrap, and then a fresh reinstall does not always fix the issue. I’ve reinstalled it 6 times today, and still can’t get it to install properly and give me sound.
Thus, is their a different sound driver I can use besides Realtek? Or, do I have to replace the motherboard? I do understand that motherboards goes with specific sound drivers for best results.
If the motherboard needs to be replaced, can I replace it with superior Sony motherboards? I am tired of having only one sound driver that works on my motherboard. (I can’t find the website that told me the info about sound drivers and motherboards.)
Thanks!

Gilbert,
I believe when you are missing the wireless card driver, Windows sees unknown network interface, but not PCI modem. May be you didn’t install device driver for the software modem?
Can you see the wireless card in the device manager? Did you turn on the wireless switch on the side of the laptop? (stupid questions, but some people have no idea about this switch). Make sure the wireless card is seated properly.
I have PayPal button on the top of each disassembly guide, you can test if it works by the way.
