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.

    A short update on Toshiba Satellite A55. I just had to replace the keyboard and checked how the DVD drive is connected. You have to remove one screw on the bottom of the laptop and one screw under the keyboard. I guess you have to do the same for Satellite A50.

    Hi there,
    The tutorial for Satellite A50 is not in my range because I haven’t worked on this particular model yet and it is not a very common model. I create new guides when I get new laptops for repair.
    It shouldn’t be very difficult to remove the CD-ROM drive from Satellite A50. You have to remove one screw on the bottom of the laptop. The screw is located close to the edge, between the Toshiba label and the CD-ROM drive. Try to slide the drive from the laptop. If you still cannot remove it, there would be one or two more screws under the keyboard. I do not remember if the CD-ROM drive is secured by a screw under the keyboard. You can use tutorial for Toshiba Satellite A55 keyboard removal to get under the keyboard if needed.

    I need to remove the CDROM from my A50 Satellite notebook.
    Why isn’t the tutorial in your range?
    I am skeptical of my laptop, does it actually exist??

    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.
