How to replace keyboard on Satellite A30?

I have a replacement keyboard layout for the Satellite A30 but I have no idea how to start replacing and removing the broken one.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You can see in the following post the official tool used to remove the keycaps.

    Hi,
    The guy in this video does it in the first two minutes then he continues to disassemble his G60 notebook . It would be wise to remove the battery first. It can be done with shoes on.

  • Replacing keyboard on Satellite L350

    A clumsy friend of mine spilt a glass of red wine over my L350 at the weekend which has resulted in my keyboard malfunctioning.
    No problem, I thought, should be easy to get a replacement and fit it.
    However, as I've taken the original keyboard from the laptop I'm worried that I've damaged the connection and that my replacement won't 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 will come with a replacement keyboard?
    Any idea where I can get a replacement for the black part if necessary.
    Any advice would be fantastic.
    Thanks.

    With new keyboard you will not get such parts.
    Does it looks like as shown on THIS picture?
    You know, many people here are frustrated and angry when I write that such stuff should be done by authorized personal only and you are best evidence what can happen when people try to exchange hardware on its own.
    What you can do is to contact nearest service and ask if they can help. Maybe they have some old broken notebook and can give you this small part. Second solution is to buy defective motherboard on eBay and use this part on your motherboard.
    I dont know man, sometimes is everything so complicated but I hope you will find solution for this.

  • How to replace CMOS on Satellite 3000-514?

    My laptop won't boot anymore (though the power lights come on) and I suspect the CMOS needs replacing.
    How do I open and replace it in my Satellite 3000-514?
    I tried dismantling the back, but got stuck.
    Any help?
    Thanks.

    To be honest I don't think CMOS battery is responsible for this.
    I had old Tecra notebook and I didn't use it last 3 years. When I wanted to start it there were no problem, just message that CMOS battery is empty were shown. When you connect notebook to the AC power supply after 48 hours the CMOS battery should be loaded again.
    In your case it is probably some hardware related issue but it is not easy to say what can be wrong there. Maybe is BIOS corrupted, maybe is CPU defective. Who knows?

  • How to replace keyboard on an HP ENVY 15 3040NR Laptop?

    I can't find any info online regarding replacing a keyboard on this model.
    All of a sudden my backspace, right-shift, and left arrow key stopped working. I have to push really hard several times to get them to work.
    Tried bios update, no help.
    Happens outside windows as well so not a driver issue.
    perfectly good laptop but almost useless until this is fixed. 
    This question was solved.

    Hi:
    There is no service manual tied to the 15-1190EO.
    I found one from the Envy 15-1000 series which is probably the one that would cover your model, but I am not 100% positive.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01911053.pdf
    It also appears you would have a daunting task to replace the keyboard on your model as well.
    Chapter 3 lists the parts and part #s, and chapter 4, the removal and replacement procedures.

  • How to replace CMOS battery on Satellite A30-504?

    i have big problems with my satellite A30-504...it does'nt see the HDD on boot, my only solution so far was to press the power button for many times.
    My HDD is ok so i think the problem is with the cmos battery but i dont know how to find out what type it is and how to replace it.
    (ps. sorry my english, i'm not an english speaker)

    Hi Adrian
    CMOS battery is always placed an awkward position and to exchange the battery the unit must be disassembled. If you didnt done this before please dont do this alone. A small mistake and you can damage plastic cover of the unit.
    I recommend you to contact service and let them do this for you. It costs a little bit but you will be sure it will be done on professional way. When the unit is disassembled it can also be cleaned from the dust.
    Back to HDD: how you know HDD is not defective?

  • How do you install a replacement keyboard for the laptop????

    I can't find any instructions for installing a replacement keyboard for my PowerBook G4 1.33 Ghz. The instructions on the Apple website are for the 1 Ghz model and there is this slot thingy to the left of the NUM LOCK key. There is no such slot on mine so I have no clue how to install. And the replacement keyboard didn't come with instructions either. It seems that the entire case is one piece and the keyboard is embedded within. I tried pulling it up but I don't want to break it.
    HELP. I have no key cap for L or F7 and C is on it's way out and I'm on deadline. Of course, it's Saturday as well.

    Try the service manual which you can find here:

  • How to replace broken monitor on Satellite M40X-251?

    Hi guys !
    This laptop fell from a desk and the monitor is completely messed up. Nothing else seems to have been damaged and it still works fine on an external monitor. I'm looking for a replacement monitor and instructions on how to replace it.
    How much would a Toshiba 15.4'' widescreen TFT 1200*800 monitor cost and where could I get it?
    I can't seem to find a manual explaining how to dismantle a Toshiba M40X laptop in order to replace the monitor. Could someone give me a link to such service manual or guide me through the process?
    Thx in advance !

    Found these instructions, I believe they would work for a M40X but if anyone can confirm :
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaM35X/Satellite-M35X-display-1.htm
    And the resolution is 1280*800 not 1200*800, little mistake.

  • Replacing SD-R6112 - which drives are compatible for Satellite A30?

    Hi,
    I would like to replace my old CD DVD combo drive SD-R6112 installed on a satellite A30 laptop into a newer drive. (another drive which could burn DVD faster and burn DVD double layer if possible.)
    Do you know which model I could buy in order to replace my old defect SD-R6112?

    Hello guys
    Fact is that you will need a drive with the right master /slave or c-sel settings.
    Not compatible drives with wrong settings would be not recognized by BIOS.
    You should also know that these settings cannot be changed like on the external drive by switching the jumpers.
    Therefore I would really recommend asking the ASP in your country for compatible devices.
    I have investigated a little bit in the net and found these:
    - Matsu****a CD-RW/DVD-ROM UJDA740,
    - Matsu****a DVD-RAM UJ-810,
    - Matsu****a DVD-ROM SR-8177
    - TOSHIBA CD-RW/DVD SD-R2212,
    - TOSHIBA DVD-R/-RW SD-R6012
    Hope I could help

  • How can i access the hard drive in a satellite A30?

    I have just bought a new hard drive and have been startled by the lack of information on the internet with help to access the hard drive. Please help. I have the satellite a30-203. Thanks, Daniel Short

    Hi daniel,
    turn your A30 upside down. Then you need to remove one screw in order to remove your optical drive. After this you will see the HDD. Remove 4 screws that secure your HDD from the computer. Then pull back the hdd using the back brackets in the same way like you pull out your optical device.
    Hope this will help.

  • How to delete a BIOS password (Satellite A30) - please help

    Hello. In the company I work there was a Toshiba Satellite A30 that had a BIOS password set.
    I was asked to remove the password and, inside the BIOS, I was able to clear the password (at least that is what I thought at first):
    BIOS asked for the current password and I typed it, then asked for a new password and I just pressed the ENTER key, and when I was asked to retype the new password I pressed the ENTER key again.
    After that, I saw that BIOS showed "PASSWORD (clear)" and I saved the changes and exit.
    To my surprise, I was asked for a password again, I just pressed the ENTER key and it showed an "INCORRECT PASSWORD" message, and the same message when I type the old password!!!
    I don't know if there was a Toshiba password when the computer was bought, but the manual that I downloaded from here does not mention that.
    Is there a way to fix this? I can't understand what may have happened!
    VERY MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE and thanks again for reading.
    [Edited by: admin on 06-Aug-05 08:27]

    Hello
    If the right password is not known to you there is no way to remove them. It can be removed only by Authorized service partner. Please contact them and they will do it for you. I assume that this can not be expensive.

  • Satellite Z830 - how to replace broken Screen?

    A careless family member has succeeded in cracking the screen of a fairly new Toshiba z830. It's broken quite badly, so I doubt it will be reparable.
    I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on the best way to go about getting a replacement, bonus points for any information in the Melbourne area.
    Thank you

    I'd rather not pay the $459 or 459 or whatever to get the screen fixed by Toshiba. I've had 20 laptops before, I never cracked a screen like this so easily. I didn't drop the laptop nor bump it nor squeeze it, I just transported it in my hand baggage on the airplane as I always do with many previous laptops, the Z830 screen is too fragile. I really like the screen, I like its matte finish, I like the thin and light magnesium form factor of the laptop, and swobbly screen does not bother me, except the design is just much too fragile, the glass surface of the LCD is not protected as it must be. I'm the one who video-blogged this interview with a Toshiba representative about that nice design afterall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Cq07Ee89o
    Since I don't want to pay the $500 repair fee, and since I guess Toshiba never replaces a cracked screen under warranty? I need to know if it'll work if I buy this screen: http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/toshiba/PORTEGE~Z830-S8302/ and I need to know exactly what screw driver I need and if there is a YouTube video and/or tutorial with detailed images and explanations so that I can hopefully safely make the screen replacement myself. And thus so that I can do it for about $100 myself instead of paying Toshiba $500 to make it.
    I guess it'd be best if Toshiba actually sold that screen and the necessary screw driver to DIY change a broken screen (loose warranty is ok then), does Toshiba sell the screen replacement and screw driver for Z830/Z835?
    I also tried http://screensurgeons.com/ and http://youtube.com/ScreenSurgeons/ but they don't seem to have made a video showing how to replace the Z830/Z835 screen yet.
    If you look at the comments on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMH0r76zdt0 about the Z830/Z835 teardown (only to replace RAM or SSD), there are several comments from users who also cracked their Z830/Z835 screen but I can't seem to find on YouTube a video showing how to replace the screen yet.
    Thanks for your help. I'd like to buy that screen replacement soon, I need this laptop screen fixed before I go on a travel on October 11th.

  • How to replace CD/DVD-Rom on Satellite Pro 2100

    Hello,
    My dvd-rom drive in the laptop is old and broken, now I have here a another dvd-rom drive but I don't know how to remove the old dvd-rom without removing all parts of my laptop. Is there some service manual how to replace the dvd-rom drive?

    Hi
    Im not 100% sure about the CD/DVD drive replacement on this notebook but I assume the procedure is very similar to another notebooks drives.
    Mostly the ODD is secured with the one screw at the bottom of the unit.
    You will have to remove this screw to pull out and to swap the drive.
    But be careful and dont do it if you have no experience!!!
    By the way, not all drives are compatible and supported because of the master/slave/c-sel settings. If you dont know what drives are compatible you should ask the ASP in your country for a advice!!!
