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.

Hello,
I have been experiencing cooling problems with my toshiba satellite m35x-s329, psa72u-00v00u. I am about to take it apart (the warranty period is over) and clean out the heatsink/fan assembly and possibly apply thermal grease between the processor and heatsink to see if that helps, as per many posts on your site. However, I think the fan may be going bad, as it makes a grinding sound when it turns on. I am wondering what the part number may be for just the fan itself if I need to replace it. I have seen entire heatsink/fan assemblies, but I would just like to replace the fan if it is the only part that is actually broken.
Thanks in advance.

LRG — some feedback,
The dissassembly guide worked great, but unfortunately reseating the drive did not fix it. FYI – in addition to the part number, the people that I ordered the drive from needed to know if it was a “Master/Slave” or not. (”M/S” is printed on the unit).
Thanks again.

cj2600 – it is a UK model A60 – presumably different to the US version?
the part no is PSA65E-01H00U8K
if you can find out anything it would be much appreciated, toshiba uk will only send me to thier re-seller who wants to charge the price of a new laptop to install & supply the board!
thanks for your help

Mike,
I have created a Toshiba Satellite A45 disassemblly guide. You can see how to remove the drive on the step 6. Before you replace it try to reseat it. Sometimes a loose connection can cause the problem. There is no way to say if SDR2612 will work in your laptop. To find a replacement for your drive you should use a part number from the drive. Something like P000379290. Find the part number and search for it on ebay or through Google.

Jeff,
If your laptop was sold in the USA I can help you to find a part number for the system board, but I need more information about the laptop:
Example: Satellite A60-S156 and the laptop part number PSA60U-02201D. I need this information to find the system board that fits your laptop; there is more then one board for Satellite A60 family.

You seem like a helpful guy.
I’ve got a Satellite A45-S150 with a SDR2412 CDROM drive that wont spin up after you put a disk in it. The computer says that the device is working properly. I’ve tried every software/driver troubleshooting fix but nothing seems to work. I’d like to replace the SDR2412 myself if I could get some instructions. I’ve never replaced one before.
Also, could you tell me if the SDR2612 is a compatable fit (no one at Toshiba could give me an answer).
Thanks

Hi
RAM has gone in my Toshiba A60 (PSA 65E) looking for the motherboard part number – or compatible boards from the toshiba range – seen many screen damaged Equiums on ebay – but not many SA pro’s!
thanks in advance
