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.

Toshiba Satellite disassembly guides and manuals:

Toshiba Tecra series disassembly guides and manuals:

Toshiba Portege series disassembly guides and manuals:

Toshiba Qosmio disassembly guides:

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

    Hi Gail, the first thing I would do would be to check the HD. I bought a case/usb connection on ebay for $12.00 then you can plug it in to any usb supporting computer and check the HD functions and retrieve any important data. It’s a really simple process but very reassuring!
    Then I’d take out the RAM and put it back in and then move on to the screen….

    Greetings,

    Wow! Great resource here, thank you so much for the good job of getting this info out.

    Now for my question . . . . I have a Toshiba Satellite L15-S104 that won’t boot up after it was dropped from a height of about 2 feet (of off a bed) onto a carpeted floor. No display, not even external video. Sounds like it’s booting up though.

    I would love to disassemble this laptop to see what’s up and if there’s anything I can repair or replace but I can’t find a service manual anywhere online (so far).

    Is anything listed here close enough to a L15 that I can use?

    Thanks for any and all replies and assistance!

    Peace,
    Gail

    John,

    I have a Satellite 1805-S253… the accuPOINT is no longer accuRATE (the pointer floats at will !!) Is it possible to replace the button assembly with a touchpad assembly from a “newer” model of an 1805? THANKS !!

    It’s not possible. The only option you have is replacing the keyboard.

    Stephanie,
    That’s a really good price for hinges. If you cannot find “C” or “S” in the battery compartment, search for this letter on the bottom of the laptop. I noticed that the letter is not always located in the battery bay. It’s not on a sticker, the letter is located on the plastic case itself.
