@ pat,

Replace the fan on my toshiba(A210) and the fan still does not come on. Any ideas why ??

Either defective fan or there is a problem with the motherboard. Maybe you forgot to plug it into the motherboard?
I believe in this model the fan should start for some time as soon as you turn on the laptop.

Hi, thanks for perfect guide. But I´ve got little bit different problem. I´m proud owner of a Satelite A210-15K and my problem is connected with audio in both, the front jack and internal speakers. I lost sound. Does anybody know where the problem could be? Thanks for your answers.

Hello, I need to clean the fan from Toshiba Satellite A210. All my friends told me that with canned air its to dangerous and I should do it by cleaning the fan itself by assebling it. Is that true?

Hey there,

my A210 won’t start up anymore (not even boot screen).
And i got reason to believe its the power buttons fault.
( ’cause i had problems with it before )
Well now, is there any way to start up the notebook without a power button ?

Thanks

Craig,

can anybody tell me where i can find the CMOS battery? (if there is one)
I need to clear the bios settings, but couldn’t find it.

The CMOS battery soldered to the motherboard.
Removing/disconnecting the CMOS battery will not clear the BIOS password.

Charlie,

i need to replace the fan on a toshiba satellite A210 do u have any idea where i can find a full service manual thanks

Isn’t it similar to taking apart Satellite A200/A205 laptop?
Here’s the disassembly guide: http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-a205/laptop-disassembly-1.htm
There are 4 pages in the guide and you’ll see how to access the fan.
