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.

Karen,
I haven’t worked on Portege M500 yet. I found some pictures for this model on Google and it looks like replacing the DVD drive shouldn’t be a problem. Most likely you’ll have to remove one or two screws on the bottom and pull the drive from the laptop.

oh i forgot to mention what model i have.. i have a toshia protege M 500 and the existing dvd ram drive is a matshita UJ-842S. i was wondering can i replace it with something other than matshita UJ-842s?

I have a Satellite 1905-S301 and just got a wifi card for it. The system had the antenna installed but no card. I installed the card and driver and that worked. The card came up and the drivers installed. The problem I am having is that the card will not enable. When I try to turn the wireless on in the Intel PROSet untilty, it says “The Intel PROSet Wireless Network Connection is still disabled. Use your hardware switch to enable it.” The hardware switch is on, however. Did I do something wrong installing the card, or is there anything else I can do. I found a fix that said to disable pin 13 on the wireless card, which I did, however then it just didn’t detect the card.
Thanks!

LeAndre,
First, I would try replacing memory with another known good module and test the laptop again.
Also, run diagnostic test on the hard drive. You can use Hitachi’s drive fitness test.

LeAndre,
Yep, I’ve seen a lot of Satellite R15 Tablet PCs with a problem like that. It looks like the hinge is not very durable.
In this case I replace the whole cover assembly witch includes top cover, LCD cover, hinge and video cable.

I was using my Toshiba r15 closed the lid heard a crunch. Opened it back up heard another crunch. The hinge was protruding through the plastic. Do you see alot of problems like this with the hinges on the tablet?

Toshiba Portage M205 locks up. When I leave it off for a couple days it boot a little further. Today I was able to get online but it locked up a few minutes after making the connection. What could be causing this?
