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.

Justin,
That’s a strange failure or maybe I’m missing something. So you can make it dimmer but not brighter?
Have you tried using Fn+F8 keyboard shortcut? Press and hold down the Fn key and at the same time tap on the F8 key. Will it make any difference?

Toshiba psm43u-00s00f
problem is a very dim LCD. If I play with the brightness controls, it does dim the LCD further, just will not go brighter. Someone already pulled the bezel apart from the LCD and I see the backlight illuminating.
I’m guestimating that the backlight doesn’t put out the lumins it once did and requires replacing. Your assessment would be appreciative.

Quinn,
Unfortunately I cannot help you with that. I don’t fix motherboards on the component level. If the motherboard is bad replace it.

cj2600, I have gleened much from this site, BUT multiple times you refer the yellow flashing light code error, as a mother board replacement…is there anyway to trouble shoot the board to find where on the power pathways a componant would have a fail by design failsafe, to minimize damage?
I have a tosh sat 1415-S173 that has new ram, new HD, good batt all tested and charged on my 2405-S201, AC plugged in…nothing…batt causes yellow code. it is clean inside, no liquid damage…Also the 3 backup disks, will they format the new HD? I really want to fix these both up to donate to a halfway house for men out of prison. The 2405-S201 SCSI target ID for the SD slot, and the DVD/CDR both show 0… both power up but do not read, rather they ask for media to be incerted.
Grace to you, neighbor

binu,
I can help only with laptop sold in the USA. I think you can find the part number in the memory compartment.
Remove memory modules and search for a white sticker. The motherboard part number could be printed on that sticker.
This is a very strange failure. Does it work fine after the Vista logo?

Mark,
There are two motherboards listed for this model, both have 64MB video RAM:
1. Full featured motherboard with part number: K000006610
2. Motherboard without CIR with part number: K000009310 (not sure what CIR is but it’s cheaper than the first motherboard).
You can find the part number on your motherboard in the memory compartment. Remove memory modules and you should see the sticker with the motherboard part number.
Some Satellite P25 laptops had motherboard with 128MB video ram. I think you can use on of these boards if you can find it. Here are part numbers for motherboards with 128MB video memory:
1. Motherboard without CIR: K000014070
2. Motherboard with CIR: K000014050

hI CJ, my 6 year old Satellite P25-S605 is displaying classic video card symptoms-So, I bow to the inevitable and am ready to buy a systemboard for this aged BEAST of a machine. The specific part # is a PSP2OU-012RJR. My question is this- which of the P25 motherboards can I use, and whether or not I can replace what I have w/ a board w/better vid? I’m willing to keep useing this ox ,but most of the programs i use would work much better w/128m of vid ram. Thanks for your help.

Belina Black,
I believe you cannot buy these hooks separately, at least Toshiba doesn’t list them as a separate part. They come as a part of the LCD bezel assembly.
If hooks are broken, you’ll have to replace the LCD bezel. Here’s the part number for the bezel: K000047080
When you find a seller, contact him and make sure that hooks are attached to the bezel. Some sellers can sell the bezel without hooks.

Darren,
It’s not the right number. Take a look for the laptop Model Number on a different sticker.
The model number is on the sticker with the model name.
