Toshiba Satellite 1135-S155 Keyboard?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Replacement keyboards are usually $50 to $120 from Toshiba, possibly
less on E-Bay.

I have no service literature on that model, but many Toshiba models have
a "trim strip" above or below the keyboard that snaps out, then you can
remove the keyboard (most commonly with 4 screws). The flex cable from
the keyboard goes to a ZIF ("zero insertion force" ) socket on the
motherboard, you MUST unlock the socket to remove or insert a cable into
it. If you don't, you will ruin the cable.
