    Toshiba Satellite M50-A keyboard connector on LA-A481P motherboard

    Hi guys,
    i have a damaged keyboard connector on my older Toshiba Satellite M50-A laptop. I know there is LA-A481P motherboard. In attachment pictures there is a real looking connector and i also found a schematic to the connector. But i need help with finding a real electronic part to replace the damaged connector. e.g. on aliexpress (or different page).
    It is 34pin connector and the length from pin n.1 to pin n.34 is 26mm. So it means a pitch length is 0.764 mm. I have seen connectors with 0.5mm , 0.7mm , 0.8mm and 1mm pitch length. But not with 0.75. Is it some special custom connector or can i use 0.8 pith length connector?
    I have found some connector
    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001826988319.html
    but it looks a little different in locking mechanism. i know that flat cable is put into original connector with contacts towards top side (away from the board). do you think it is compatible?
    I am quite lost now, can you help me to find compatible or exact connector?
    thanks

    I've used the same type as you list to repair a Toshiba keyboard, 0.8mm pitch, it's a different latch but it works fine.

      hi diif,
      thanks for response. your approve made my day better. do you think that locking mechanism is important in this case? i think both mechanisms have connection to contacts on the cable on the top side. Am i right?

          The locking mechanism style wasn't important, it held the keyboard cable securely. There are many vendors selling different quantities but the connectors look identical, I'm sure it will be fine.
