The small little boards that are the Sound Card and Integrated Wireless switch, basically I need a new one, this part has failed for some reason; the ribbon connection soldering has cracked.

I'd hate to lose the laptop to Toshiba repair when it is still functional, just without wireless or sound. I think it would be all around easier just to replace the part myself, I took the bad part out.

So bottom line question is, where may one find such a part, if anywhere?
And how much will it cost?

If need be, I took a picture of the part and uploaded to my comcast webspace, I could post it if needed...

I'm a moron... Rule #1 always ask Google first.
I forgot my own rules.

Part Number: K000019130
I found a place I can buy it for $32 but I may wind up just taking it into Toshiba repair to get it done for free, as painful as that might be, to lose it for a week.
To lose my LIFE, for a week.

Might want to look at this info as well before you send your machine in:

Toshiba Lock Up Issues

My understanding there is a grounding problem with these machine around the speakers or something. Even if you have had no problems to date, opening the machine may cause this lock up/shut down problem, so you might suggest that the grounding solution be addressed while in for repair as well.

Yes, that was taken care of in the service visit #5 of 6 total.
Pfft. lol

Doesn't do me much good anymore at all... no offense meant, just my machine was stolen from a Church 'Harvest Party' on Halloween night/Monday Oct. 31st.
As stated in another topic...
