Thanks a lot! I've already bought the two F series manuals. I was the person with which you corresponded concerning my trouble purchasing the manuals because of the "There has been an error processing your payment" problem. Even better, as it turns out, as far as I can tell the "F-10" manual actually covers any model name in the "F1x" series. I can see this from looking at the manual and comparing its descriptions of internals and specs with the internals and specs of my laptop and also from the fact that while the model *name* of my laptop is "F15-AV201" the model *number* is "PQF10U-00K00H" -- notice the "F10" . Add to this fact that a kind person from comp.sys.laptops / japan.comp.toshiba has confirmed that any model names that only differ in the second digit with it being either a "0" or a "5" are usually the same hardware.

Thanks again!

Regards,

Jonathan

I've got several Qosmio service manuals on my site. I don't have your exact model, but I do have the F-10 and the F-20.

I recently posted a similar inquiry on Usenet so I'll just copy it here -- Thanks to a member of comp.sys.laptops / japan.comp.toshiba for referring me here :

I have a Toshiba Qosmio F15-AV201 desktop replacement laptop and have
been trying to find the service manual for months to no avail. After
some research, I found out that one might obtain said manual from a
"Toshiba authorized parts distributor" . The only relevant search
result I could find on the web was "Vance Baldwin Electronics" .
Luckily I found the part number of my laptop ( PQF10U-00K00H ) on
their site : http://www.vancebaldwin.com/models/?TOSPQF10U00K00H --
seems to have everything EXCEPT the damn service manual. I've come
to an impasse. Does *anyone* know where or how to obtain said service
manual? I've looked everywhere -- the manuals for the Qosmio models
are not available on the web anywhere, such as eBay.

Thanks,
