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.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P35-S629. The screen has gone dim…almost blank. I have found several sites that address this issue by saying to reseat the inverter.

    I found a site that shows me what the inverter looks like. What I cannot find is WHERE the inverter in this model is located.

    I have taken the thing apart several times, including the display section once…I still haven’t got a clue where the inverter is.

    Can anyone provide a photograph or at least some information on where to find the inverter in this model? I was told up near the top of the keyboard, where it hinges the display on, but there is only one board inside the bottom…the main board.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Toshiba Satellite 1905-S301 has 2 memory slots. One memory slot you can access if you remove a memory cover on the bottom of your laptop. The second memory stick is located under the top cover. To access the second memory slot you have to split the case and remove the entire top cover assembly.

    I am trying to find out how to get 1gig of Ram memory into a Toshiba 1905-S301 it came with 256 in side it some were, and a few years ago I added 256 into the single expantion slot under the bottom cover. Do you know how to change the internal slot to 512? do I need to split the case to get to the internal ram?

    Hi Erik,
    You definitely cannot upgrade the video chip because it is integrated into the system board.
    Also there is no official information about upgrading the CPU. Toshiba has 10 different system boards and 11 different CPUs listed for Toshiba Satellite A60 laptop. The following CPUs are listed: Celeron 2.70GHz – 2.93GHz and Pentium 3.06GHz – 3.33GHz. I guess it would be possible to upgrade to Celeron 2.93GHz, but do you really want to spend extra money to gain 103MHz? There is a possibility that BIOS will not recognize new CPU correctly and you can face a heat dissipation problem. If it would be possible to use many different CPUs with the same system board, Toshiba wouldn’t spend tons of money on creating a different system board for each model. All listed system boards are not interchangeable and can be used only in the model they were designed for. I have never done this kind of upgrade myself.
