How to take apart Toshiba Laptops.

Hi all,
If you want to know how to take apart Toshiba laptops, I can help you. I work as a laptop repair technician and on my free time I create Toshiba laptop disassembly guides. My guides are free and you can use them if you want to repair your Toshiba lappy.

How to Take Apart Toshiba Laptops.

Those are good guides, a while back I was trying to figure out how to open my sattelite pro m10 and couldn't figure it out at all. I couldn't even find anything online about it. Eventually I did manage to get it all the way open (screen and the rest of it seperated), but I can't remember how I did it.

 

Toshiba Satellite M65 and Portege R100 teardown.

I added two more guides:

Toshiba Satellite M65. How to replace the CPU and the system board.

Toshiba Portege R100. How to remove notebook system board.

 

What about clones?

Do you have any guides for Twinhead laptops?

 

Nope, I work mostly on Toshiba laptops (95%), sometimes HPs and IBMs.

 

BTW, here you can find some service manuals for ACER laptops and service manuals for DELL laptops.

 

CJ2600,

If you still view this thread, I have a Sat A60-s166 (P4 2.8 w/ 15"). I may need to replace the hinges. The screen stays in place ok, but there is some play (wobbles) so I'm not sure if it's a broken hinge as I haven't gotten around to taking it apart yet. Is there a mechanism whereby I can tighten it down?

If I will need a hinge, I am thinking of a used hinge as I heard new ones are really pricey. Are there other models that I can be on the look out for to scavenge the hinges from that you know of, or do I need to look specifically for another A60?

Thanks

 

You can remove the keyboard securing strip and see if the hinges are broken. Follow steps 5-7 here. Try to tighten 4 screws securing hinges, it might fix the problem. If you need to replace hinges, you have to look for A60/A65 model.
BTW, I plan to create a LCD removal guide for Toshiba Satellite A60/A65 models. I already got pictures.

 

Thanks for the info! You are a GREAT resource of information to users out in the wild! Thank you for the site with all the info and pics too. I'm sure many people have found it invaluable!

 

Here's one more site I have started recently. On this site I post my experience with laptop computers.
Laptop Repair and Troubleshooting Tips.

 

Good stuff!

It'd be nice if you gave the Dell manuals "the treatment" though

 

Another vote for HP/Compaq. Really like the guides, nice job.
