Step 1:
Static, or fuzz, on your computer display is often caused by interference or an improperly functioning driver. Eliminate static using a two-part process. Ensure that your connections are tight and then ensure that you have the most recent display software installed on your computer. The entire procedure can be done in about 30 minutes or less.

Reach around to the back of your computer and ensure that your monitor cable is tightly connected to the machine. Perform the same task at the point where the cable connects to your monitor. Go to the website of your video card's manufacturer and click on the "Drivers Download" page. Enter the model number of your video card and click "Search." Download the latest driver for your system. Click "Save" to store the file on your hard drive. Double click on the file and click "Install" to install the driver to your system. Restart your computer when the installation is complete.

A205 speaker replacement

http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-a205/laptop-disassembly-1.htm

1) Remove ALL power. Remove the AC adapter (Charger), and Battery.

2) Suggest lay a soft Static Free cloth, on the table you're working on. Helps prevent scratching the table, and laptop.

Use a multi-compartment container for the various screws you will remove.
Label each compartment for the area the screw/s come out of.
SOME screws look VERY similar to other screws.
Advise DO NOT mix them up.

You're going to remove the Top Cover. BEFORE this is removed you're going to need your ESD wrist str-ap on.

Electro Static Discharge

Your body carries Static electricity. Static WILL fry out, (Short Circuit), the delicate hardware components in a computer.
Wear an ESD wrist strap, have it's alligator clip attached to a good ground source; and your laptop is safe from Static.

Average cost is $3 to $6. Here is but one example,

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103245

The Processor (CPU) is the MOST susceptible hardware component to Static Shock!

Don't wear an ESD wrist strap, and have it's alligator clip attached to a good ground source; and you can use your laptop for an expensive doorstop, or conversation piece. (Oh that? Yeah, Static got it")

http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-a205/laptop-disassembly-1.htm

[Page1::Page2::Page3::Find another model; is on the Top and Bottom of all pages in White ]

Remove ALL power. Remove the AC adapter (Charger), and Battery.
Go to Step 1 and follow through to Step 17 on Page 3.

The Keyboard Bezel has to be removed,
Keyboard,
Display Assembly,
Top Cover. (Palm Rest Cover),
plus the other components to facilitate removal of the above.

In Step 17 you see the Speakers. They are a large unit that can only be accessed for removal, after removing the Top Cover.
Look for a part number on them. It is a Toshiba part number.

Put Toshiba + part number, in your browser search bar, and look for replacements. (No -> + )

http://www.discountedlaptopparts.com/toshiba-satellite-a205-left-and-right-speaker-set.html

Just for a point;

The above speakers look similar (To me), to the ones in the Irisvista link. (Pictorial disassembly guide)
Searching just now out of curiosity, I saw different styles shown, for the Satellite A205.

Point being I would want to see a PHOTO of what was being sold, to see if it is the right one. A lot of ads for Toshiba Satellite A205 speakers, didn't post a photo.

Could be different speaker examples for the different model numbers, of the model series.
(A205 is the Model Series. The number/letters after that designate the Model Number)

Seems that Toshiba STSA205 is the number, but you will know when you remove the speakers.

For additional questions please post in a Comment.

I bought Toshiba Satellite A80 Laptop Pc 4 years ago. I want to make memory upgrade by myself. How can i do this ?

Simply take the laptop to Staples or any computer store and any associates will show you all the available RAMs recommended for you laptop because they have a cross reference data base - if the upgrade don't work, they'll buy it back or get you one that will. You won't have to spend unnecessary time doing the research yourself.

I broken my recovery and applications/drive cd satellite 1400, num two.

If you live in the USA and have a Staples near by you can have them order replacement recovery CD/DVDs for about $30 (It takes about 5 to 7 business days).
You should be able to call TOSHIBA also but, I do not know how much they charge for recovery CD/DVDs.

The g and h keys came off my satellite A135 S7403 notebook. Can I find just relacement keys, or do I need to replace the entire keyboard. If I need to replace, is it something I can do myself? And if so,...

Sorry to say most laptop keyboards come complete. But Toshiba laptop keyboards are not that expensive. The labor is usually more. Some laptops keys can be reinstalled, there is a metal wire that is the piviot and the other part snap in place...Contact a independent service tech will be cheaper than Best buy, or Staples , etc...
