How to take apart and repair Toshiba laptops yourself

The following laptop step-by-step disassembly manuals I have created myself. You can use them if you have a Toshiba laptop and want to repair or upgrade it yourself. You shouldn’t disassemble your laptop if you have no experience with computers because you can easily damage it. Also, you shouldn’t open it if the laptop is still under warranty. I’m still developing new laptop teardown guides and my goal is to add new guides every week. If you do not see a manual for your model, most likely I will add it later. Stay tuned.

I’m still working on creating new disassembly guides. For more information please visit my Toshiba laptop disassembly site.

    Albert,

    Yes, it is a minipci connector like the wifi connector however the space between this connector and the hold downstuds for a card is 1/2 the space that is available for the wifi card that is installed.

    I’ve seen some new minipci wireless cards which are half size of the normal card. I guess they could do the same with WWAN cards. Just a guess.

    By the way the sim card is installed under tha battery, Would not the WWAN card be in that location on this model M505-S4945. Also, would you have a pic of the bluetooth module Part number H000010170.

    This model is too new for me. I haven’t worked on many of them. I’ll take some pictures as soon as I get one for repair.
    So far I only replaced the LCD screen in Satellite M505. Take a look at http://www.irisvista.com

    Thank you for your response.

If it is for the WWAN card, then I need to talk to the store that sold it because someone removed the card and I paid for it I was going to activate WWAN later. By the way the sim card is installed under tha battery, Would not the WWAN card be in that location on this model M505-S4945. Also, would you have a pic of the bluetooth module Part number H000010170.?

    albert,

    i have a satellite m505-s4945. under the cover where the wifi card is installed is another connector port. is this for the bluetooth card? or for the mobile air card?

    Does it look the same as the wireless card port? Most likely it’s for a WWAN card (connect to the Internet using cellular tower).

    also what will be the Toshiba part number for the bluetooth card?

    For Satellite M505-S4945 the Bluetooth module part number is: H000010170
