Replacing keyboard on Satellite M30
Hello!
I dropped accidentally coffee on my Satellite M30. my keyboard no longer works correctly. I tried to clean it with compressed air, who saved a few touches, but there are still some keys that do not work. I discovered that I can buy a replacement on www.sparepartswarehouse.com part, but I live in the Netherlands, and transportation costs are very expensive.
My question is: can I buy a spare directly from Toshiba?
Hello
I'm not sure about this. As far as I know, you can buy only the things that you can find on the Toshiba site. The pieces of equipment can be ordered by service partners. Try to make contact with the partner in your country and ask them what may be the best solution for your problem.
Maybe you can also buy some already used keyboard.
Check http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com under Support & downloads. You can find the links service partners.
Good bye

Replacement keyboard on Satellite L350
A clumsy friend spilled a glass of red wine on my L350 weekend which resulted in my keyboard malfunctioned.
No problem, I don't think should be easy to get a replacement and mount it.However, as I took the original keyboard of the laptop I am concerned that I have damaged the connection and my replacement does not work when it arrives.
Basically, the black part of the connector has broken - does anyone know if this is considered part of the laptop or that it will be shipped with a replacement keyboard?
Any idea where I can get a replacement for the part black, if necessary.
Any advice would be fantastic.
Thank you.
> Basically, the black part of the connector broke - does anyone know if this is considered part of the laptop or that it will be shipped with a replacement keyboard?
I m not very well what part you mean.
Usually, the keyboard is connected to the connector s motherboard with a flat cable.
Do you mean the cable?If so, then the cable is part of the keyboard and the new cable should arrive with the new keyboard. But the connector on the motherboard is not removable, and if you damage this part, you will need to replace the mobo ;(

Replacing keyboard on Satellite C850
How is it difficult to replace a keyboard on a C850?
I have to use an external keyboard due to a spill of coffee.
As I'm several hundred kilometres of civilization and need to use my laptop for business, I can't afford to be without it. Any suggestions please. I did it on other laptops, but this one seems different.Hello
You are right. Replacing keyboard on this machine is quite different. The keyboard access is on the underside. Optical disc drive must be removed first. Then, you need a plastic stick to push the back of the keyboard of the slot. Push the keyboard until the corner rises on the upper surface of the case.
To be honest, it can be a bit tricky and you may damage the smallholders plastic. You can try it, but you do at your own risk. Be gentle and careful with this.

Replacement keyboard for satellite 1400
Hi, when I start my laptop after a very short time, I have a popup (the menu associated with the left button of the mouse (I think) randomly appearing even when I am not touching the keyboard or the mouse. In word, when I type the z or / keys it always appears! I tried the external mouse and an external keyboard, with no difference. I think it's a keyboard error, comments? I think that the reason why the external keyboard makes no difference is that the internal keyboard is still connected i.e. sound always short-circuit. I am just out of warranty (rats!) Is it easy to replace the keyboard, I'm a little short on cash. Constantly clear the popup having my head.
If I understand you right, your warranty is over. Then you can open your laptop without the risk of losing it.
Open the notebook and disconnect the keyboard. If this does not a difference for the external keyboard, it must be a software problem.
In any case, I recommend to reinstall the latest driver from the download page of Toshiba driver for the keyboard.

But you should get all the details of ASP Simple contact with them guys.The link to the full database of ASP, you will find the Toshiba support page!

Satellite M30 - error message after replacing the DVD drive
Virgin, excused my English ;)
I have a satellite m30 and I replaced the DVD-cd-rw drive in series with a SLIM NEC ND-6650 DOUBLE LAYER, DVD time bios gives me error
0203: failure IDE #2
Is it possible to remove this message?Hello
As far as I know that this message can not be eliminated and it happens every time if you want to use the drive is not compatible. Always is it that all readers may not work with all models of laptops.
In this case, fundamental problem is the pin assignment. It is not the same in all players.
Good bye

Satellite A30: Replace keyboard
Hello
We have a Satellite A30 but dropped to a file of the box on this subject, and the J and K keys broke off the coast.
A key may be repairable, but the other's definitely got some plastic broken on the rods.The machine is now out of big but I'm good enough with repairs PC but PC, no cell phones!
I'm guessing that a replacement keyboard will be easier to fix than the keys themselves. I saw them on the net for A £39 + VAT. All that miss me are many instructions on the removal of the keyboard and replace it. Instructions and guides are available for the A30 Saturday?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Hello
The keyboard can be ordered from the Toshiba ASP in your country.
If you want to remove the keyboard, you must first remove the thin plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons. Under this coverage, you will find 2 screws which fix the keyboard. These screws must be removed.
After that the two screws were removed, you could take the keyboard.
But be careful; It s connected to the motherboard with the flat cable which you should remove everything first!Good bye

Satellite M30: Replace DVD with additional HARD disk?
Hello!
As my Satellite M30-642 does not offer a modular Bay for the installed switches and I have a DVD burner for USB that I can use I think try an experiment: withdrawal of the DVD drive and replace it with an extra HDD/SSD.
As SSDS are very light, have no moving parts and does not necessarily need screws to be installed and the slot DVD brings the IDE and this could work to power connector. The DSS must be placed inside an old and updated the slimline cd-rom so that the change is not visible and the laptop is safe from dust etc.
Has anyone tried something like this before? Are there solutions to buy for Sat M30 (2004 vintage)?
Cheers, obreitfelder
Hello
As far as I know the Sat M30 doesn t support the slim select Bay and, therefore you cannot use this adapter instead of the CD/DVD drive.
Sorry, it is not possible
Good bye

Satellite M30 - after replacing drive DVD 0203: failure IDE #2 appears
Hello
I replaced the DVD unit on my Satellite M30 as it was broken. I installed the same unit (UJ - 820B), but now at startup, I get the error message 0203:Failure IDE #2 with options to continue starting in the operating system or run the Setup program (which does not offer something to solve this problem). The operating system (Windows XP sp2) loads fine, but the DVD unit is not recognized.
Help!
Thank you.
Hi Paul,.
All optical discs are delivered with a parameter of the base (master, slave, or C/salt) interface configured in the firmware. on PC, readers there are usually small switches to activate this setting to change, but unfortunately on readers portable there is not, so it is very important to make sure the new drive is correctly implemented by the manufacturer of the correct specification for your laptop.
If you got the new drive to an ASP then you will need to confirm with them that the new drive is set correctly.
From my experience, most third-party resellers don't advertise what settings their readers that makes get a suitable replacement that is very difficult.
Kind regards

Satellite M30 - how to replace the hinges?
Hello!
Has anyone replaced the hinges on Satellite M30? Any help or a link to a manual would be useful.
Thnx!
Hello
Unfortunately, there is no manual maintenance on the page of Toshiba Europe. Only the authorized service provider got access to such manuals.
I found this page:
http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba_Satellite_M35/take_apart_notebook_1.htmBut I put t know if it will be useful for you.
Generally, I have to say that the replacement of hinges is not easy. It s really complicated because the laptop must be disassembled.
You must remove the mask of the display first and then have to remove the LCD screen before you could see the hinges.To be honest I don't recommend trying to replace it with your own hand because you may damage other parts.
I recommend a visit to a local technician for laptop and I would like to ask for help.Welcome them

Strange keyboard on my Satellite M30 problem
Hello
I have a problem with the keyboard on my m30. He still thinks that the shift keys are pressed. The only way around this was to disable the two keys in the registry - using an external keyboard.
External keyboard works perfectly.
Thinking it was a problem with my keyboard, I replaced the keyboard m30 twice, but still have the same problem, even after a thorough cleaning of my OS.
Do you think it could be a motherboard problem? It occurred after a year.
Thank you
TREV
Hi trev
In my opinion just detailed testing can clarify the situation. In my opinion, there is a hardware problem. I think that this keyboard controller is faulty. Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I know internal and external keyboard don t use the same controller.
Try to contact the Service partner and ask them what may be the problem. They know what the problem is here.
