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.

I just started a new project – free laptop repair related classifieds.

I have a Toshiba Satellite M35X-S163, it crashed and i had to upload everything up again by reformatting the hard drive. Everything runs great…Only problem is my usb buses aren’t working it can’t find the folder for the usb drivers to re- install in my comp. What should i do? Or, where should i go to fix this? I’m out of warranty.

Hi, I have a question. I have a P35 S605 Toshiba, and this morning, for no apparent reason, I acquired a hair like line, blue-ish, running down the center of my screen. This is a first, and the laptop is a month out of warranty. I am quite upset about that, and I would like to know if it’s even worth fixing. Could it be the LCD going already??
Thanks!

Brandon,
That was my mistake; I wanted to say the keyboard cable. Too much beer.
I think there could be 3 problems: bad connection between the keyboard and the system board, bad keyboard, or bad keyboard controller on the systemboard.
You can try to remove the keyboard and run the laptop for a while without it. See if you can reproduce the problem. If the laptop works fine, connect the keyboard and test it again.

After it warms up (15-20 min), any WinControl that has edit capability will repeat whitespace. If you are on Google in the search box for example, the search will fill with spaces. If you are typing, spaces are inserted into your text. Also, if you are not focused on the search entry, IE will “page” as if the spacebar were pressed. Any dialog box that pops-up, will select the default button without clicking (again, the default behavior of the spacebar).
These events are sporadic, there is sometimes 3,5,10 seconds between the spaces and other times it is at the typmatic rate until the end of the control is reached.
For a test, I started MSWord and left it sit in an empty document. After a few minutes, I had several pages of whitespace, no other characters were output.
I have also completed virus scans, spybot, windows defender…just to make sure it wasn’t something along those lines. I would have been surprised to see any of those as this machine is almost never on the net and is not used for email.
Out of curiosity, why reseat the video cable? I have not seen anything with the video that would lead me there.(p.s.: I’m not questioning that this may be the problem, only looking see the tie-in to the symptom)…

Brandon,
You can try to reseat the
videokeyboard (my mistake) cable on the system board. You can do that if you follow steps 6-10 on this disassembly guide. By the way, how do you know that the spacebar is stuck, what problem you experience?July 26th, 2006 at 6:50 pm

I have a Satellite A75-s2112 prt#PSA70U-0WQ00G that is just out of warrenty. In just the last couple of days, it has a “stuck” spacebar. The spacebar is not phsucally stuck, it only happens after the machine has warmed up. I belive it is a BIOS issue, so I have flashed the BIOS to the latest (1.5) which did not correct the issue. I have also read that ctfmon.exe can produce simular problems so I have taken the steps to remove that as an issue. This is a lean machine in that I have alomost nothing installed on it (Only items needed for work). I have trimmed the installed applications to only those required and still have the same issue. Since this only happens when the machine is “warm” I am conviced it is a hardware related problem. (Hence the assumption it is the BIOS). Have you ever seen this? and can I simply replace the BIOS?
The machine has run faithfully for the 15 months that I have had it, and it still works now (except for the stuck key). I would rather not replace it if can help, and don’t want to spend $500 if I can simply replace whatever part(s) are bad.
Thanks in advance…

Hi Ian,
I’m not really sure if this model has a power board, but I found a part number for the battery connect assembly. The part number is P000282920. I Googled for it and found it right away in the first search link for $5. I’m not sure if that’s the board you need but it’s cheap. I believe this board is located somewhere between the system board and the battery, is it what you are looking for?
