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.

Hi,
I think it could be just a loose connection. Did you try to reconnect the video cable on the system board? Connect an external screen and boot the laptop. Can you see any video on the external monitor; can you make it fail by moving the laptop? If the external monitor has a normal video output and it doesn’t fail when you move the laptop, the video cable itself on the connection on the system board may be bad.

I have a toshiba a15-s1292. The display works for about 15 seconds then shuts off. It works fine with a external moniter hooked up. I have tried replacing the motherboard and fl inverter.
These changes made no difference, I have also downloaded and installed the latest video drivers. Any sugestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.
Thank you,

had a problem 2 days ago with my screen too small and the lite going off soon after I connected to web. Your help was appreciated, but my laptop was not responding at all to any commands. Had to take it in and they said a drive needed to be replaced. I had downloaded a microsoft drive into a toshiba laptop and apparently that doesnt work. I am new at all this. Thanks for your help-am glad to know you are out there when needed.

Hello, I own a toshiba m35x-s329. Part #psa72u-00v00u. I recently took it apart to resolder the connection for the charger plug. Ever since I did that it is acting weird. It powers up about only 10% of the time. The other times, the blue led light on the power button comes on, I hear the fan running and it starts to boot up.
After about 4-5 seconds it stops booting up. I can still hear the fan running but nothing happents. At other times, it boots up and as soon as I pick it up or move it then the screen goes black. At times you can see the hard drive led is on. Either way I thought it was a screen problem. I have replaced the screen and it still does the same. I called toshiba and they would not help me without charging me $65 for tech support. It is out of warranty. Any help you can give me would be a great help.

I just unsuccessfully attempted a repair on a Toshiba M35X-s149 power jack. My wife had been using various techniques to pus the plug in so it would charge and she brought it to me last night with the plug completely shoved into the laptop. I took it apart and soldered it back into place but I noticed that the + hole in the mother board had no pads on it. So I have two questions. 1. Did this motherboard ever had pads on the + hole for the power socket? 2. Is there a way to run a hard wire from the post on the socket to another point on the MB? I am afraid when she dislodged the socket from the MB she damaged the interconnections.
Thanks for you help.

Aaron,
Most likely the hinge is broken and has to be replaced. I cannot give you a good advice without looking at the laptop.

I have a toshiba satellite A15 that has a hinge that won’t stay. I’m not sure when this started so I don’t know if it has been dropped or not. I’ve read your walkthrough on disassembling a15 but the problem is I don’t know if I need a new hinge or not and I don’t want to take it apart before I know what I need to do with it. Is there a part I can get that will replace the hinge so that it will stay in a position, or is there someone I can fix the one I already have. Thanks a bunch.
