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.

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…

Paola,
There is only one motherboard for this model. It’s P000387490.

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?

Tracy,
What is your issue with the USB ports? Do USB work at all?
If a USB 2 device runs only as a USB 1.1 device, or it connects/disconnects intermittently, then updating the BIOS to v1.90 might fix the problem.
If a USB device is detected by Windows, but not recognized and this device works fine on any other computer, then you might have a problem with the system board.

Hi,
Thanks for the awesome helpful information! I am looking for a power supply board for a Satellite 2775xdvd. I have found a number on it, but I’m not sure it’s the part number: B36086901016N A0. The “016N A0″ is on a sticker that overlaps the end of the printed board number like it’s a correction.
Also, I wonder if you would suggest replacing this board with the following symptoms: The computer runs fine for a while, but then shuts off after a while. Then, upon rebootup, it shuts down quickly. I’ve ruled out overheating because the fan works fine and there’s no dust to be found. Also, it sometimes runs for a while, even under extreme heat stress (running Mem86 test for 1.5 hours), I don’t think it’s heat.
After a shutdown, the plugin power light blinks orange with the code 1000 0001 = 81, which says “PCOREV voltage is under 1.08 V, when the computer is powered on” in the service manual. So, following their step, I get to where it says to replace the power board.
I’d be grateful for any help!

Hi,
I have a Toshiba M35x-S114 that exhibits USB problems. The Toshiba website acknowledges the issue and recommends updating the BIOS to v1.90. I downloaded the update and burned it to a bootable CD. Upon reboot, the software begins to run but soon the PC just shuts down instead of rebooting as stated in the docs that came with the v1.90 software. When I boot the PC, it says the BIOS is now v1.90, but the USB issue remains. Any ideas?
