    Hi

    Where's the best place in the US/UK to get spares (new) for Toshiba Satellite A35?

    Thanks

    I've used ServiceSource Europe for parts in the past. Email sales and they will respond quickly.

    Another possible supplier is ClonesUK.

    Thanks!

    I'm actually trying to get a new battery pack no. PA3335U-1BRS. (came with the laptop), do you know of a better battery that will provide a longer duration?

    There are places that specialise in batteries, both originals and compatibles. Google using the battery number. I would be tempted to economise and get a 3rd party battery such as this.

    Thanks once again.

    pls. how do i check the keyboard model no.?

    'cause the keyboard at times misbehaves, contiually typing '\' character. I've tried cleaning it but to no avail. I don't know what's happened.

    So i'm also on the look out for the keyboard.

    are there reputed places where i can get used laptops? since my laptop is rather old, a 2004 model, so that i can hack the parts.

    I googled and got getpartsonline.com (in the US they say), cheap rates, though i'm not sure of the authenticity of the seller. That's why i asked for any tried & tested sources, & experiences of NBR dons. :)
