Hello.I have a TOSHIBA Laptop Satellite P30.The butoon is broken.I can’t turn on simply pushing on the black butto without the “cover”.I tried but it didnt turn on so I wonder if it depends on broken button or something else.Thank you

In reply to Sharfin. @ Sharfin, Sorry your description is not very clear. Are you getting a white screen? Test your laptop with an external monitor. Can you get normal image on the external screen?

In reply to YY. @YY,

I just fixed a Toshiba A70 notebook for my neighbour with the same problem. I used super glue to attach the top rectangular section

Not sure if this repair will last. I don't think that super glue works well on plastic. If it breaks again, try some glue designed for plastic.

I just fixed a Toshiba A70 notebook for my neighbour with the same problem. I used super glue to attach the top rectangular section of the push button to the back of the case and it worked perfectly. I think Toshiba designed this button on purpose to be failed after a few years of use or if you push it with a little bit of excessive force. The top part is only attached to the case by two PLASTIC pins with very small diameter with the top portion of the pins melted to hold the button. The central pin is not melted and is used for locating purpose only. This is certainly a purposely made design to fool customers into buying a new notebook from Toshiba a few years down the road by making the customers think that their notebook has failed and is time to buy a new one. In my opinion this is certainly a SCAM from Toshiba because they can absolutely make the button a little stronger to take the load from a finger.

Ah, after looking closely at the different models I can see the difference. I shall strip it down and see if it’s possible to repair before replacing. Thanks for your time…

In reply to Rik. @ Rik,

Can I use an A70/A75 or P35 on a P30 Laptop please?

Are you asking about using a A75 top cover on a P30 laptop? No, you cannot. Both top covers looks kind of similar but they are different. And size is different too. You'll have to find a new top cover. Or remove the existing top cover and see if the power button can be fixed.
