Guide for Toshiba Laptop Keyboard Removal and Replacement

Have you ever experienced Toshiba keybord removal problem when your Toshiba laptop keyboard is missing a key or it needs to replace a keyboard. Now, this guide will help you fix it step by step.

If your Toshiba laptop keyboard doesn’t work well, most of time it’s due to long time using. Then proper cleaning and lubrication will restore your laptop keyboard to the snappy and smooth performance it had when new.

If your keyboard is missing a key, it’s not necessary to replace the whole keyboard. You can fix it on yourself for Toshiba laptop keyboard removal.

If the above mentioned cases can’t solve your keyboard problem, it is likely that your keyboard really needs to replace a new one.

So Toshiba Keyboard Removal comes to a must. How to replace keyboard on toshiba laptops?

Step 1: Remove the battery and unpug the AC adapter before you open the laptop case. But if your laptop is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, do not open the case or you can loose the warranty.

Step 2: Unlock the metal plate before you pull the keyboard cable from the connector. Remove the metal plate that cover on the system board before you can get an access to the connector. To open the connector, move the connector lock toward the LCD screen. It is enough to move it 2-3mm to open the connector.
Note: Be careful with the keyboard connector on the system board. If you damage it, the entire system board has to be replaced.

Step 3: Lift your laptop up with a small screwdriver and remove using fingers. On most Toshiba laptops the keyboard bezel doesn’t have any circuit board underneath, it’s just a piece of plastic and you don’t have to worry about cables.

Step 4: After the bezel is removed you get an access to the keyboard screws. Remove two (or more) screws. Release the plastic latch pointed with the red arrow and lift up the keyboard. Carefully put the keyboard aside so you can access the connector underneath the keyboard. Do not forget that the keyboard is still connected to the motherboard.

Step 5: Open the connector and release the flat ribbon cable.
Note: Be careful with the fragile connector. If the pins get bent even slightly it is impossible to reconnect them. Sometimes you might found that by pulling the green cable tab out of the connector itself worked great.

Step 6: Change the new keyboard to the laptop. Just stick the end of the new keyboard’s film-like connector inside the plastic tab that you released to remove the old keyboard. Push the tab back down so that it holds the end of the new keyboard’s connector in place. Reassemble the computer by putting the components back in the exact spot you removed them from.

The keyboard removal and replacement instructions will be almost the same for most modern Toshiba laptops.
