Toshiba A215-S4747 Parts help!! Lock claw??

Eighty8lx50 · 12-08-2007, 10:26 PM

Ok, my new laptop got dropped off my dresser by the dog getting tangled in the power cord

, The only thing that broke was the lock claws on top of the lcd screen. So now the laptop will not lock when closed. I can't find the claw parts, can anybody find them or direct me to the place to buy them???

Thanks!!

Call Toshiba and have them direct you to the nearest Toshiba Authorized Service Centre. They can order and install the part you need.

Yea, thats what I thought. I kinda wanted to install myself (I work on all my pc's). Is there a place to buy these little parts online?

Not as far as I know, unless you can find an exact same model being sold for scrap parts. I work in a Toshiba Service Centre, and as far as I know Toshiba is the only place. Maybe someone else has a lead...

No parts are available from Toshiba, Not individually anyways... They said they have the whole bezel but no spare small parts.
