Satelite A30 - Question about replacement of keyboard

Hello

I posted a question [here | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=132833] on keyboard replacement for laptop Toshiba Satellite A30. I ordered a Curry www.partmaster.co.uk Web site now (~ A £47 including TAX). I will wait for it in a few weeks.

The fact post refers to the removal of the keyboard existing as such:

+ If you want to remove the keyboard, you will need to 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 the two screws were removed, you could take the keyboard. +

There is a plastic thin UNDER the F1 - F12 keys, who feels more easily removable as above plastic strip. One above feels very firmly attached to the laptop casing and has holes for the button ON / OFF and some of the lights.

It is certainly the plastic strip thin above the function keys? or would that acutally one below? (I don't want to raise the Strip above if this is a mistake and I end up breaking!).

I can post a picture if need be.

Thank you

To remove the keyboard, follow these steps:

1. open the display panel until it is almost horizontal.
2. press the F1 key on the row from the bottom of your keyboard and insert a thin tool into the narrow hole under the cover of the band.
3. use the tool to gently lift the cover away from the computer strip
4. remove the two black screws from the top of the keyboard where they attach to the chassis of the computer
5 lift the keyboard from the top and then get out. The lower part of the keyboard has 5 teeth that are inserted into the slots in the chassis, so be sure to not break when you take off the keyboard
6. on the keyboard's underside is a keyboard cable. Gently remove it by pulling the display panel in the back.

That's all ;)

  • Satellite A30 - question about the CPU temperature

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A30 (model name: SA30-151, model number: PSA33E). I had the usual problems with overheating and closing, where I had to clean the radiator.

    My question is, how hot the CPU must sit at and what temperature is dangerous?

    I installed 'Hardware sensors Monitor' and the average temperature is about 55 c, but I saw it happen at 70 c when I'm pushing it.

    I was not able to find something on the net about it and I can't find information on the Toshiba site.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks...

    The same temperature is on my Tecra M1. Believe me, there's really no reason to panic.

    Hi all

    The DVD - RW in my Equium A60-692 went faulty and reads discs input/output of windows is no longer.
    My Question is: can I replace the drive with any portable computer OEM DVD - RW drive, or should it be replaced with the drive from DVD - RW original it came with?

    Thanks for your time...

    See you soon

    You can replace it with any player, only with a compatible. I have no time to search the list for you and you can do it alone. Check it please s manuals for your model of laptop. Usually, at the beginning, you find a part on information in optical disc players. Should there have listed all the compatible optical disk drives.

    Choose the one that suits.

    If the machine is only 3 weeks and then bring/send it to the next service partner available because you still have a warranty on this machine. And why it s going down so fast - we will be able to answer that. The machine you have is very reliable, so maybe just a "Sunday" - machine if you know what I mean.
    In this case, you have a guarantee, and you should use it and require replacement.

    After the replacement of Don t you need to reinstall anything since only a part is exchanged and nothing significant on your system will be changed.

    Welcome and good luck

  • Satellite A30: Question about Bios Update August 8

    Good afternoon

    Am I right to assume that the update in August 2007 for my Satellite A30 is to allow him to work with MS Vista? There is no documentation with the download of the bios, but the bios description says "provides the additional functionality.

    Can anyone describe what that this added functionality provides and is it really helps in 3-year upgrade of a machine? I use XP on it

    Kind regards

    Dave Smith

    Hello Dave

    I'm pretty sure that old Satellite A30 is not taken in charge of Vista. Unfortunately there is no public document on the update of the BIOS and the exact list this update is good for. One thing I can say with certainty: If your OS works well and stabile let go and take advantage of Windows XP Home edition.

  • 2400-103: question about replacing the HARD drive

    I'm trying to figure out how to replace my laptop HD. It is of a Satellite 2400-103. The HD is broken. I got it removed, but I'm not sure what to replace it with. Maybe a Toshiba MK - 3021 GAS, what can I get away with? Can I get a more general e.g. 40 GB storage device? Can I use a SATA device?
    The broken HD that came out is a Hitachi DK23DA-30F, but I find it difficult to find a local supplier of this exact model.

    Help, please.

    Hi guy,

    Your original drive is a 30 GB device, so you can replace it with a similar model from a different manufacturer and at the same time, to increase capacity (any where up to 80 GB should be fine according to your needs). I replaced my 30 GB with a Toshiba MK8025GAS drive there are many moons with no problems.

    One thing to know the rotation speed. Your Hitach1 drive is 4 200 rpm and you could in theory use a disk with a faster rotation (5 400 or 7 200 RPM), but this can generate excessive heat when using a lot of the hard disk activity.

    Kind regards

  • Question about cleaning the keyboard of an Equium A60

    Hello

    I recently managed to outflank cola on the keyboard of an Equium A60 and the keys are sticking rather annoying. Nothing else has been affected by the oil spill. Is there a way to clean the keys on these machines, such as by popping the key cover off? I am unwilling to put too much force to see if this method will not work because they don't seem like the type who's going to jump off and I don't want to cause any real damage (or rather, not more damage). As far as I remember, the period of guarantee in addition to the machine, so I prefer to take a solution that I can do myself rather than send in a (probably) expensive 'official' job. Any advice is welcome.

    Thank you
    Kemp

    Hello

    sounds very good. How do you know that only the keyboard has been affected? Do you have some view of x rays? :)

    I suggest you to bring the product to a technician because if once some fluid more so deeply touched a laptop, then you have a big problem.
    I can't give you a few tips to clean your keyboard because it s not only of clothes that can be lifted in a tube with some oxy-clean.

    I really suggest you to connect with someone who is familiar with this kind of computer system.

  • Question about replacing the battery in Aspire E15 E5 - 574 G

    So, I bought an Aspire E 15 E5 - 574G from newegg because I need a new laptop and did not want to spend a lot of money. What never occurred to me until after that I paid because it was the battery was replaceable, further research after that newegg delivered to me, I discovered that it wasn't. I wonder if someone could tell me if the battery goes bad can I send the computer to acer and I got the fixed battery or I'll essentially having to buy a new laptop when he dies. I need a laptop with a battery that is replaceable, because I handle my machine a lot, if the battery is really not replaceable reliable, so I was wondering if I should ship the computer to newegg a refund and look for a computer acer laptop with a battery that I can replace.

    Thanks for any help

    First thing, you need to check, the laptop that you bought from Newegg is under warranty or not. To help you check this, please find the link given below and enter the computer laptop serial number of product on the area of warranty status:

    Hope this will help you.

  • Question about my new keyboard

    My parents gave me a multimedia keyboard Microsoft 1. 0 to because my Dell keyboard was dying.  Multimedia keyboard has a PS/2 end and I only have USB ports, so I bought an adapter.  Who will perform the quick launch on the keyboard buttons?  The sticker on the bottom of the keyboard said KB-0168, so is no help.

    It is unlikely that the USB-PS/2 adapter will work. It can't hurt to try, but this has nothing to do with the special buttons work decisions. You need drivers for the keyboard that will provide the software for special of the keyboard keys. Here is a link to the drivers

    http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/download/DownloadResult.aspx?category=MK&type=keyboard&name=key-00028&OS=XP_32&lang=en

    Connect the keyboard to your computer using the adapter that you have purchased. If it works fine. Download and install the drivers and you should get the advanced features of this keyboard.

    If the adapter does not work, go buy a new USB keyboard. You can buy a standard USB keyboard for $10-15, so it's no big deal. I bought quite a few very good Logitech keyboards from NewEgg for $14 ea.

  • Tecra 8200: Question about replacing the 14.1 screen

    Hi, my screen shows that the left side, a line falls down in the middle and the right side is empty. I have the external monitor firmly on the upper left side, the entire screen lights up as usual. I've attached a screen remote and it works fine. I said that it is a defect in the screen.
    The part of the screen is LTM14C438, they are very expensive. Can I get a number of different screen (LTM14C433), which is a toshiba 20 a TE2000 pins, and I like that it will work.

    No matter which confirm this, thank you, Allan

    Hello

    The fact is that the screen and the motherboard are the most expensive parts of the laptop. I put t know if you can use a different laptop screen, but I guess that it s is not possible. You must always use compatible parts and supported and devices.
    You can try to contact Toshiba and you can try to ask the opinion but I think that it will recommend to use original Toshiba parts.
