Where to get 2nd hand mobo for Satellite A300-21H

Hopefully someone will be able to help.
Where could I purchase a motherboard 2nd hand if possible for my wifes A300 21H.
The system is only 18 months old very annoying it's lasted such a short time.
I have had the system checked and they think it's the mobo.
I was quoted 300+ to repair the laptop is not worth paying that amount so thought I would have a go at repairing it myself.

Thats right.
New motherboards are very expensive an in most cases its not worth to purchase new mobo.
I recommend checking some internet auctions pages (ebay, etc) to get a 2nd hand motherboard.
Maybe you could get a 2nd hand A300 unit where the motherboard does not malfunction

  • Where would i get 2nd hdd cable for hp dv7-series (long cable) that would ship to finland.

    Where would i get 2nd hdd cable for dv7 series (long one) THAT would ship to Finland. (as the subject says eh')

    Hei:
    It depends on where in the dv7 model series your PC falls.
    There are 2 types of second HDD cables. The one Kamat pointed out for the dv7 6xxx series, and then there is this one at the link below for these dv7 series:
     http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=345&zenid=b451f3afd6d86cd...
    So, you will need to know what dv7 you have.
    I believe they ship worldwide. A forum member from Italy got his from here. That is how I know about this site, and all about the fact that there are 2 types of 2nd HDD cables for dv7's. 
    The only part number referenced for a 2nd HDD cable in the service manual is for the dv7-6xxx series.

  • Extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C

    Hi
    I am new here so sorry if I posted it under wrong thread.
    I want to buy extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C (1+1 standard warranty) so I wanna ask which warranty package gives the longest protection for this model.
    2+2 is the longest? ID: SE5054I-PDB.
    Secondly, and more importantly, the laptop is more than 1 year old. When i was buying it, in retail store they told me that the extended warranty can be activated at any time, but now I see that there is this 30 days deadline policy. Is there any way how to overcome?
    Thanks

    Hello Pingo
    You must understand that this forum is user-to-user forum and what you need is expert advice. So I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and order best extended warranty option.
    At first you can visit Toshiba support page and pick up some info about warranty options.
    The link is http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Peripherals & Services
    On the same page under Support & Download > Find an ASP you can find address and phone number of your nearest ASP.

  • Satellite A300-21H - What the hidden partition means?

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A300-21H and using MS vista but will be getting dual boot ubuntu soon.
    When i look up my disk size i see C drive is 148GB and then there is an E drive also at 147GB.
    The E drive is ntfs ( contains a folder called HDD recovery and text file ) - i assumed this was the recovery disk but it seems rather huge!.
    Then i looked into the manula to see the recover should only be 1.5GB and there is a hidden 1.5GB drive on the disk also.
    My question is what is the E drive, can i merge it with the C drive? and can i wipe it and still use the 1.5 GB to recover things? and The two back up DVD's i made what are they for?
    Thanks in advance:
    Patrick

    Hi buddy
    The notebook contains 3 partitions;
    One partition contains the Vista OS
    The second partition contains the HDD recovery folder. This HDD recovery folder is needed for HDD recovery procedure. You can recover the notebook without using the disk. You can boot from the HDD and can start the HDD recovery process.
    But its strongly recommended to create a recovery disk! This could be helpful if something will go wrong with the preinstalled OS and the HDD recovery.
    Last partition (the hidden one) contains the Vista backup files called WinRE.
    This backup files are needed in order to repair the OS in critical situations
    Its no recommended to remove, delete or merge this partition!

  • How to partition Satellite A300-21H with Vista?

    Hello,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-21H with Vista and want to dual boot it with ubuntu linux. At the moment there are three partitions, 1.5GB vista recovery, 150gb C and 150gb E ( with HDD recovery inside it ). For my ubuntu i would like partitions / and /home ( around 150gb ). Should i delete the E partition? I have my recovery DVD's made..
    Whats the best approach, I think linux only allows 4 partition's.

    Hello
    Of course you can delete the partition E because you have created the recovery disk.
    Very good job buddy because sometimes the people forget it to burn. :(
    Now you can install the factory settings every time that you want.
    On Vista you can change the partition size, delete and create it. This is possible by the new Disk Management Utility:

    What are they worth?

    Cheers

    Hello
    I think the best way would be if you contact an ASP. They can order all original Toshiba parts if its possible to order that parts that you mean.
    On the Toshiba website you can search for the nearest ASP in your country: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an authorized service provider

  • Where can I buy a keyboard for Satellite C855D?

    Hello
    Sorry for my english's mystake, i'm french.
    So,
    i've broken the keyboard of my laptop (Satellite C855D) with water.
    I took it of and i use now a USB keyboard.
    I'm looking to buy a new keyboard but the prices are expensive
    . I was thinking that maybe, here, you could give me a website where i can buy a good keyboard not too expansive.
    Can someone help me?
    Thank you.
    Matt

    > Which website should i use?
    Sorry mate but I really dont understand why you asking for something like that?
    There are millions of online dealers who offer notebook parts in different countries.
    Choose the best, for you available in *YOUR* country.
    I dont know if the best offer for you means the cheapest offer for me the best offer isnt the cheapest one.
    I prefer online dealers with good reputation and not with the cheapest price.
    >and, if "Such keyboards are used by different notebook manufacturers", how do i surch for it?
    Search simply for Satellite C855 / C855D / C850 keyboard
    Then you will get some google hits providing the compatible part!
    > Using the number writtent in the back? Cause, when i use this number "H000040810" to search on internet, i only have websites that work with toshiba.
    Of course you will get ONLY the keyboards used by Toshiba because these are Toshiba part numbers!
    If you would contact the authorized service provider in YOUR country, you will get the original part.

  • Where to get the SSO ticket for a JCO-Connection from?

    Hey All,
    The szenario is, I've got a Java application and I want to connect to a SAP System. For this I want to use SSO. In the documentation of JCO I found this phrase:
    For SSO specify the user to be $MYSAPSSO2$ and pass the base64 encoded ticket as as the passwd parameter.
    Well... Now my question... Where to get this base64 ticket from? The problem is, I'm NOT using WebDynpro, it's a custom application running on client side. Now how to get the needed information? (PSE?)
    It would be great when you could give me a clue.
    Best regards,
    Kristian

    This linksactualy leads to the same place I mentioned where
    it installs the
    player over the Internet
    Another thing is that these players are said to be different
    for different
    browsers which means they are working together with a
    browser. I am looking
    for a player which allows to play SWF file directly, without
    a browser.
    I have such a player installed together with FLASH-8 - I am
    looking for
    such a player

  • How to get a Recovery media for Satellite L305D S5900

    I am a Ghanaian who bought a Toshiba laptop about seven months ago. The model is Satellite L305D S5900. I am also in Ghana. I found out from the documents that came with the laptop and your forum that I can order for Recovery media for it with no charge on the software itself.
    How do I get this Recovery media for my machine as I am in a different country? What are the things involved?
    Thank You.

    Your T500 can burn CD's at the least and if you can access Windows, you should be able to burn a set of recovery discs.
    Other than that, I suggest calling support to see what they can do to help. The number in the U.S. is 1-800-426-7378.

    What does this mean exactly? Is Wlan card visible in device manager under Network Adapters? Can you see an unknown device or an Ethernet controller beside the LAN card?

    Did you install the Intel WLan driver for this Wlan card?

  • Can I add a 2nd HDD on my Satellite A300-02C?

    Hi all,
    I'm wondering if it's possible to add a 2nd hard drive in my A300-02C?
    There is a 2nd HDD slot, but no sata connector on the PCB (see picture link).
    http://www.notebookreview.com/picture.asp?f=36752
    I'm wondering if it's possible to add the connector (by myself or by the toshiba customer service).
    If someone knows if it's possible and where can i buy the sata connector... Please leave a comment :)
    Adrien.

    I think there is nothing you can do about it.
    Satellite A300 is delivered with several different hardware configurations and several different mainboards. I really don't believe you can add it additionally.
    For exact info contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask for help.
    If someone has experience with this stuff then Toshiba service technicians.
