just lift this clip up a little and the keyboard cable will slide out. The keyboard cable connector has a black clip along the top of it. Once the keyboard is loose you will have to either leave it connected, just off to the side, or disconnect it from the mother board. Lift the keyboard up from the screw side and the retaining clips at the front of the keyboard will lift out.

Remove the two screws that are evident once the bezel has been removed. once this is bezel is off the rest is super easy.**ģ) Remove the keyboard. (it is a tight working area) Once these three retaining clips have come loose the others are fairly easy to 'pop' Just be patient and work it slowly. you could use a paper clip with a little 1/8' bend at tip to do this also. this is done with the screen all the way back. **I found it a little bit difficult to get the plastic retaining clips to 'pop' loose, but if you are careful, you can use a small screw driver and slowly 'wiggle-pry' between the two screen mounts. This page gives several pictures as to how to do this. this is the piece where you can see the speakers. This should also work on a A100 since they are of the same family.ġ) like always with anything that you do when taking your computer apart, take out the battery and unplug it (common sense)Ģ) Remove the plastic cover piece above the keyboard, called the 'keyboard bezel'. It is a really easy fix, with just a little bit of work and patience.

I found the repair info over several blogs and forums regarding this problem. Super frustrating and it takes a lot of time to send in laptop for 'free' repair as noted on Toshiba Support Notice: 0 33673053 I turned on my computer last night and was locked out with a BIOS password prompt.
