Toshiba... why doesn't that surprise me.
I've had a couple of them, they've been some of the least reliable machines I've ever had. Even getting a set of nubs for the Trackpoint was an exercise in futility - three hours on the phone, followed by finding a local Toshiba dealer (local being a good hundred miles away), only to pay £45 for three clearly used Trackpoint nubs. That was my last new Toshiba, but I do have a Libretto 110CT for programming old radio gear (old enough that the programming software only runs on DOS or Win9x).
My last two laptops were both Thinkpads and I've never looked back. My battle-scarred and heavily-stickered (to cover the scratches) X220 has had a mountain of parts. Heck, I once replaced the DC jack on the table in a convention hotel restaurant, using a friend's iPad to read the service manual...!
The only thing locking down repair manuals and parts will achieve (at least for me) is to make me look at what the company's competition is selling.
