this is completely wrong, remove the strip above keyboard, unscrew the screws, lift keyboard up gently, remove ribbon cable by flipping up the catch, all should be done VERY gently

VERY TRUE . But fitted a new keyboard and it still can,t use numbers one to five or the space bar unless i use the FN button.

Just proceeded as one78point4 commented and although it's a Toshiba L300, it took me less than 5 minutes to fix my keyboard's issue, which was in fact a disconnected ribbon (strange though...sabotage?)

Anyway...thanks a million to you one78point4!!!

as one78point4 commented this is total overkill and not at all correct, most Toshibas keyboards are removed in the way described by one78point4 and I should know I’ve replaced enough of them over the last 20 yrs, although later laptops are heaps easier than the old one.
