My Toshiba Tecra Laptop Keyboard Has Stopped Working After A Small Knock
After a small knock my Toshiba Tecra A6 Laptop Keyboard has stopped working.Everything else works as per normal.I've tried various 'workarounds' but am now wondering if it may be some Toshiba method/Utility that has temporarily knocked it off.Is there an easy method to take out the keyboard without unscrewing the whole chassis?

Obviously, the keyboard of your Toshiba Tecra A6 PTA60U has been damaged or some parts were loosened due to the shock. Unfortunately, there is no other method to remove the keyboard buy through unscrewing the entire system casing. You can also buy a replacement keyboard online. These are the links:
