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.

    hi, i have the toshiba M60 and it has a problem of an overheating graphics chip. as my model is not listet i had a look on similar models. my question is weather the GPU is passively cooled like in the M65 or is there a heatpipe construction to the CPU cooler for it to be actively cooled?

    Thanks in Advance

    Hi, i have Toshiba Satellite P100-188 PSPA3E-02W00XEN, the display will only run in 4bit mode on an external monitor, the display has vertical magenta lines on it, every so often these lines clear and when rebooted laptop works normally until it is shutdown and then display resolution is again 4bit and only shows on external monitor, have you any idea why this happens? if i have to replace motherboard / vga card do P100 boards have to be exact match also could i fit P105 board which has integrated graphics chip.
    Any help and advice would be much appreciated

    I have a Toshiba A100 -232 laptop. My brother was playing online game on it and suddenly the whole laptop just powered off. No lights are on, not even the power lights indicating its charging (the power cable was plugged in). I think the idiot just fried my laptop -.- I’ve currently unplugged everything and left it there to cool down because the laptop was extremely hot underneath. Today we had a kinda warm day suddenly, might have had sumthing to do with it. We can usually play that game nonstop without problems. I have never completely opened up a laptop before, only installed new RAM.

    Please help me.

    Danny,

    I have a a55-s1063 laptop by toshiba and I got in a trade but there is a problem.The person I got cleaned the screen with water and and a paper towel and now water has gotten between the screen and left watermarks any remedy of cleanig without buying one?

    You can try cleaning the LCD screen as I did in this post:
    How I took apart and repaired my notebook LCD screen with water damage
    Be careful. If you accidentally damage the screen during while taking apart, you’ll have to buy a new one. Proceed on your own risk. :)

    Ivair,

    I have a toshiba satellite m40x and I need to change the cooler, someone know how to to it? It’s possible to send me the pictures?

    I think you can use instructions for a Satellite M35X. M40X and M35X should be similar.
