Laptop repair
This afternoon at lunch I drove over to the Cerritos office of Notebookshop.com to drop off my laptop to have the keyboard replaced.
The store was empty when I arrived, but they had one guy ahead of me in the service department. Once I spoke with the tech, he booted the laptop and saw the issues with the "error 0210 - Stuck Key" incessant beeping at boot-up that I have been dealing with over the last few weeks with my laptop.
Replacing the keyboard is going to cost $79 and labor will be $25, so I am looking at 3 or 4 days and a $104 dollar expense to get this laptop back in shape.
I also looked up a replacement battery and found one at a site called meritline.com where they have my exact battery listed for $77. I will be getting one or two of those soon also.
*sigh*. This $999 laptop (bought in June of '04) is starting to cost a lot of money.
We build computers and we made videos showing how its done.We get many thanks but now its time to jump on the laptop bandwagon. I have my business laptop and once I find a laptop to use to disassemble, we made videos as well. Thanks for Toshiba link. That's a great start. Computer Repair On Video

Why you didn’t replace the keyboard yourself? If you have Dell, IBM or HP notebook you can download disassembly instructions from their websites. Here are disassembly instructions for Toshiba notebooks. Buy a new keyboard on eBay and DIY. Good luck!
