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.

    Mike,

    intels site says that the chipset does support the hyperthreading processors but i cant find any specific information on the motherboard in this laptop

    if the chipset doesn’t support that, apparently you cannot upgrade.
    As I know, the best CPU listed by Toshiba for this laptop is Pentium4 2.80GHZ

    Milo,
    I don’t think that you can replace the graphics card on this model. I believe the graphics card is a part of the motherboard, it’s integrated into the motherboard.

    I have a satellite a35-s209 and wish to upgrade the processor to a hyperthreading version. intels site says that the chipset does support the hyperthreading processors but i cant find any specific information on the motherboard in this laptop. do you think that if the chipset supports hyperthreading i could put an upgraded cpu in regardless of the motherboard?

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio F10. It looks pretty similar to the F15 you dis-assembled. I took it apart a few weeks ago to re-align the DC connector. Wish I had come across your site first. I seem to have disconnected the sound cable strip at the end nearest to the screen. When I opened the laptop up today, I noticed it was lying loose but could not see what was supposed to hold the strip in place. I can see the connector the strip goes into, but the gap is too wide to hold the end of the strip in place, it only has a flat blue plastic tip at the end where the strip wires are. Is something missing? Should it have one of the little clips like there is on the keybord and blue tooth strips to hold the sound board strip in place and make a tight connection? The part I am talking about is on picture 15 of the F15 dis-assembly instructions, exactly where the arrow on the top right is pointing, the cable pushes directly down into a connection, but I fear something is missing. Site is fantastic by the way.

    Diane Masse,
    These disassembly guides were designed for experienced people. I wouldn’t recommend replacing hinges yourself if you afraid to ruin your laptop.
