Satellite U840-10U - keyboard replacement

Does anyone know how to replace the keyboard of a satellite u840-u by myself? It seeks to be just stuck but do not know about you. In addition, my keyboard is not backlit, it would be replaced by one of the series U backlit?

Hello

As far as I know some models of Satellite U840 was equipped with keyboard backlight.
But to my knowledge, the keyboard backlight requires extra power connector (CN20).

I guess not all U840 motherboards support this connector, and therefore the upgrade of the keyboard backlight is not possible.

With regard to the removal of the keyboard:
Yes I think the keyboard is stuck to the top box by double adhesive. If you would like to disassemble the keyboard in the top box, the keyboard deform and could not be used again.

In my opinion you should not try to remove anything. You could void the warranty and could damage other parts. I think that this procedure of disassembly must be carried out by an authorized technician.

  • Satellite U840 - missing keyboard driver / Toshiba accessibility

    I have a Satellite U840 - 10 M, Windows 7 64 bit

    Earlier this week, I had to boot into SafeMode due to some problems with McAfee. Since then, the drivers for the mouse pad and the keyboard have messed up.
    I could find/download the drivers for the mouse, so that pad working again as it should.

    But I can't find the driver for the keyboard. So for now, the backlight does not work and the FN keys do not work.

    In addition, since I can't use / access Toshiba Accessibility.

    Please give the link to download Toshiba accessibility or the appropriate keyboard driver.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I don't have this model of laptop and can not confirm that we can do exactly, but what I know, is that this keyboard has separate cable for lighting and the motherboard must have an additional connector for it.

    I can't say for sure, but I guess models without keyboard illumination have not and these updates is probably not possible.

    My Satellite U840-10V hinge on the right side screen broke when I accidentally dropped the laptop. This happened almost 2 years ago and today he is out, which separates it from the window of the screen. I had this problem temporarily to a nearby repair shop and was advised to contact toshiba to replace the head of screen. my warranty expired in 2013 and I did not apply to it.

    Can someone advise the best course of action to replace the screen? I live in ealing, London and am able to go to a provider of services close to who would be able to replace it. I like really this laptop and I would like to replace the screen as soon as possible instead of dishing out money on another new laptop.

  • Replacement of HDD on Satellite U840-10R

    Hello

    I currently have a problem on my computer (Satellite U840 - 10R Reference: PSU4WE-00E017FR).

    The SSD (32 GB) from my hard drive part seems to be broken. I can't activate the SSD feature in the Intel software or I am in big trouble, so I disabled it. However, I can still use my computer because the part of the HARD drive (500 GB) is ok and the system.

    My question: is it possible to take all the drive of my computer and put a new SSD a place?

    How is it? This is similar to a 2.5 HDD classic?

    Would what kind of interface I find him inside? (Sata 3?)

    Thank you

    I don't know how old is your machine, but if the warranty is still valid I think you should contact Toshiba service and ask for replacement. Warranty will cover the costs.

    In any case, this 32 GB SSD's with mSATA type slot multi-level (MLC) cell. On Google you can see what it looks like. Generally, replacement should not be problematic but if don't have experience with computer laptop disassembly you shouldn't do it alone.

    Is that SSD is placed directly under the lid and place between RAM and WLAN card.

  • Battery for Satellite Z830-10U

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Z830-10U, I LOVE & have had no problems with since I bought it 4 years ago. Just today, I get a message that there is a problem with the battery & I would like to replace it. He's dead now completely - while still working with the power supply

    I searched online and cannot find a replacement. I called support of Toshiba who said I need a battery 8-cell 3200 Altair - & gave me the number for "" Topaz"technical support". They are now closed for the (big) weekend! I did a search online & Duracell sell one for the Satellite Z830 (but does not mention the 10U bit) - & description = Satellite Z830 hand 14.8V battery 8-cell 3060mAh.
    Is it totally different than Altair 3200?
    I have no idea?

    Why I find it so difficult to find a replacement? The guys at Toshiba said they should not have been made obsolete the again, because it's not so old?

    Any ideas please? Thank you
    Sara.

    Hello

    The information that you got is just. your laptop uses 8CELL battery 3200_ALTAIRU.
    In my opinion you should not ask why you can not find it so easily.

    As you probably know, the manufacturers of mobile offers two types of batteries. Batteries that can be redeemed by the owner of the laptop. For these batteries, you can get the part number and order almost anywhere.

    Problem is that your computer has a specific design and battery is placed under the lid. To be honest you are not allowed to remove the cover on your own as this will void your warranty.

    Believe me, that the best option for you is to make the exchange of the battery with the help of the authorized service provider. It can't be so problematic for you to wait a few days and clarify all this with Toshiba service, right?

    Do not remove the bottom cover on your own. Battery itself is also fixed with several screws and connected to the motherboard with low battery connector. Small mistake and you can damage something. Let the technicians to do it for you.

  • Satellite Z830-10U power not on

    Greetings;

    I connected my Satellite Z830-10U in power and left it running for half an hour and then I saw him as Eve extended (screen off). Then it was left for 20 hours of yesterday, plugged into the power outlet... There now
    its 'DC in' orange indicator flashing, power indicator light is green regularly, that the eco indicator is also on and green. The screen is off, and it's like the shutdown of the system.

    The problem is that the power botton is not working and pressing (whether for a short or long period) has no
    effect. I plug the AC power adapter when you are connected to the computer and I see that the battery indicator is
    Green and stays until I have unplug the adapter from socket or unplug charger from
    computer.

    How can I turn it on and get my files back?

    Thanks in advance.
    Mr. shams

    > How to start and recover my files?
    Well, the files are on the HARD drive
    So you can remove the laptop HARD drive and you can use an external USB to SATA controller /enclosure in order to connect the HARD drive to a different computer.
    It would be the best way to get access to files

    The other story is the feature of laptop power
    To me it seems that his question in such cases and related equipment the unit needs are checked by technician I hope that this is not a motherboard because in this case you must replace the mobo and it could be a costly affair

    Guarantee is valid?

  • Satellite U840 - sound indicator is not visible using F9 and F10

    Hallo!

    I recently bought a toshiba Satellite U840-10 q ultrabook with Windows 7 installed.
    I was wondering if it is possible to be able to see the level of noise while I'm evolution through the keys on the keyboard (F9 and F10 to lower or increase respectively).

  • Satellite L555-11u keyboard problem

    Hello

    I wonder if a Toshiba representative could help me. I have recently (3 days ago!) bought a Toshiba laptop (Satellite L555-11u) and I noticed a problem
    with the keyboard. I can't use the 'L' key at all, and I hope that my hardware warranty for repair of this problem.
    I checked that all the drivers are installed and up to date and that there has been no physical damage to the keyboard or laptop.
    How I can get this problem solved in Ireland?

    Thank you

    Of course, the warranty will cover keyboard replacement, if necessary.
    In my opinion, you must contact your dealer as soon as possible. Usually, you have two weeks (depending on the country of purchase) duration shipping will return your product. So, try to contact your local dealer and try to get the replacement. I'm sure you can get the new laptop.

    If this does not work please contact authorized Toshiba service and explain the situation.
    To find the address and phone number visit the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page > support & downloads > find an ASP.

    Good luck.

  • Does not begin with satellite U840-110 - Windows 7 - loop start-up

    Hello

    I have been using a Satellite U840 - 110 portable since dec 2012 on a Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. Recently, the laptop was left in standby for a few days. When I tried to start the computer, it froze at the start. So I forced reboot by pressing the power button. After repeating this for a couple of times, he first showed a blue screen. Then, when the computer has been restarted, he showed a black screen with the following message

    "Windows error recovery".
    Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
    ...
    ...
    Run the Startup Repair tool or
    Start windows normally'

    I have tried both these options multiple times and every time at the end of the process, he might come back to these same screen. I also tried to press F8 and used advanced and tried Boot Options "not last know good configuration."

    None of this seems to work and I was not able to load Windows. I don't have a backup of my data and can end up losing a lot of vital information.

    Is there anyway I can solve the problem and get the computer to work again?

    Is it possible to recover data from the hard drive.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Is it possible to recover data from the hard drive.

    You can remove the laptop HARD drive and could connect to another computer using USB-to-SATA cart.

    After that, you could insert the HARD disk into the laptop new and could try to perform the Toshiba HDD recovery.
    (F8 - fix my computer - Toshiba-HDD recovery)
