I'm trying to be cautious and verify components as I install them, using an external monitor and the irisvista.com disassembly guide. All went well until I hooked up the LCD screen. The whole boot sequence displayed just fine on it, but accompanied by a fairly loud hum coming from the motherboard that wasn't there at all when the boot sequence is viewed through the external monitor. I disassembled some parts and think I found the problem. In the image from step #17 in the guide there's a piece of black tape covering a group of components. Just sticking out from under the tape towards the ATI chip is a largish (1cm square) transistor(?) with a plastic cap that's separating from its base. Pushing on this cap when the hum occurs stops the sound. Is this something I should be concerned about? Try gluing the cap back on? Return the motherboard? Thanks for any advice.

I have solved the Overheating problem of my Toshiba Satellite A65. I've also put in a extra 1Gb Crosshair Memory card. Now the first problem is that weird lines(Vertical) are appearing on my Screen on the start up logo also when i play a movie in windows. I know that it is the Faulty On board Memory module but i can't seem to find a good way to remove or unsolder them myself. Second problem is that the Laptop was off for 2 days. It has Windows 7 Ultimate in it, When i started the lappy it showed the recovery screen that something had changed but when i select the recovery option the Laptop restarts. I tried to install Windows 98 to see if there ain't a Hardware problem but Win 98 wasn't installing. Then tried Xp and it restarted when loading files and same happens with Vista, Windows 7.. Please i need immediate help as i cannot afford more vacancies in my work... Thank you and Great Site! This is a great site which helped me alot!

Reluctant to remove memory chips from motherboard so followed the same procedure as diaphus (post 52). Set maxmem to exclude the bad memory, installed 512Mb extension, reset maxmem to (good mobo memory)+512 and it works fine. George (post 81) reports problems with this process but it certainly has worked for me and has been stable for several weeks now. Thanks diaphus! Bad memory on Sat Pro A60.
