Hey.
I recently swapped out my Toshiba Lappie Keyboard.

Comp tech wanted $75 to look.
$130 to buy one and another $75 to install.

I got lappie number off back.

Net. Gave part no and You tube gave strip down.

$34 del to door from Sydney. Sat to thurs.

Double check there. Mine was the second model not first.

Thumbnail to remove top strip. 4 screws. Slide it back and out.
Disconnect flat cable as you go.

About 4 mins to replace.

Give it a go. Dead simple.

This is a WHITE one on a Black lappie.

Actially a lot better for my old eyes.

I did one better than that Macka,biggrin I had an identical keyboard from a previous laptop. No screws, just clip out swap flat cables and clip back in. Due to sensitivity of my fingers, due to burns and grafts, I had son do the flat cables.

I have identical laptop and one common problems is the hinges break - fix similar to yours, strip via YouTube etc. Piece of cake.

 

Regards

Good on ya Paul.
Some we lose. some we win hey.

Denis.

My hinges still fine (touch wood.
just drooping a bit to left.
But it sits on desk at home all it's life now.
Used to take O\S.
but last 4 yrs or so. Tablet and ph does fine.

I'll just givew it a decent burial and keep keyboard for next one.
These last 2 lappies have been Toshiba. with added 16gig Ram
and 120 SSD's.
Keep 2 terra ext Hard beside, for all prog's etc.

Just the OS and security in lappie.

NEVER missed a beat and near as fast as Di's PC.
