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 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.

    Steve,

    The guide for the Tecra M3 is incorrect it points to a Tecra M2, The ram is under the keyboard not the base of the notebook

    I know that. Take a look at the first sentanse in the disassembly guide. It says:
    Toshiba Tecra M2 laptop is very similar to Toshiba Tecra M3 and share the same disassembly steps. Here’s the main difference. Tecra M3 doesn’t have a memory slot that you access from the bottom of the laptop as it’s shown on the step 2. Both memory slots in Tecra M3 are located under the keyboard, as it shown on the step 3.

    gtz,

    why is the model “equium” not listed anywhere?even on the toshiba website itself, cant get help

    Because “equium” is not sold on the USA. Search for a similar Satellite version.

    Norma i have this same message. It just means that your battery is flat. Try charging it. It wont hurt to press F1 and change time and date. Once time and date has been updated, exit CMOS and it will boot windows.
    My problem is that i cant charge my battery because it switches the laptop off as soon as i plug it in. But im sure you will be able do as i have mentioned as i have previously done this.

    sir, I have looked till i’am blue in the face, I contacted toshiba and they cannot or they will not help me. anyway sir, I have the toshiba A55-S1063 and my problem is when I boot up. I get a long drawn out message that says RTC BATTERY is low or the CMOS checksum is inconsistent, press f1 key to set time and date. Sir can you help me? Your guide is great but I did not see such a thing, Toshiba would not help me or maybe they don’t even know. I have even contacted 2 computer shops and they would not tell me anything. any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank You! Norma

    I have a toshiba tecra m1 and my problem is that when i plug my power adapter into the laptop it switches the laptop off. I have tried to power up with the adapter already plugged in but it wont turn on. Also it will only power up from the battery when i have taken the battery out and then put it back in. (the battery is pretty flat). I have replaced the adapter and it has made no difference.
    Before i go and spend more money on buying a new battery, has anyone had this issue before or know why this is happening?
