How to disassemble laptops. Guide with pictures.

cj2600 · Oct 15, 2005, 05:34 PM

Hey guys, I just started a new website. If you want to disassemble, repair or just clean your notebook, this site for you. The site will provide instructions how to disassemble laptops. I already created guides for:

Toshiba Satellite 1415
Toshiba Satellite 1800
Toshiba Satellite 1805
Toshiba Satellite 2435
Toshiba Satellite M35X
Toshiba Satellite A60/A65
Toshiba Satellite A70/A75
Toshiba Satellite P25
Toshiba Tecra A1
Toshiba Tecra TE2100
Toshiba Tecra 9100
Toshiba Portege 4010
Toshiba Tecra S1
Toshiba Satellite A55
Toshiba Satellite M55
Toshiba Tecra A3

I’ll continue creating new teardown guides with pictures on weekly basis (not only for Toshibas).

Is it useful for you?

Welcome to the forums cj. Very nice first post, and I already see 1 guide that should come in handy for me right now.

Personally I would love to see guides for the Toshiba Satellite M40 series if you have them. Just that they are the most common laptops Toshiba sells, the most common that people buy, and the most common that I see come in for repair.

cj2600 · Oct 16, 2005, 12:27 PM

I'll take pictures for Toshiba Satellite M40 as soon as I get it for repair.

Logla · Oct 16, 2005, 12:50 PM

I (fairly) regularly work on Compaq evo laptops and Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebooks. Very occasionally work on the odd dell as well.

Next time I get one of these to do, I'll get some pics for you.

WxChaser · Oct 16, 2005, 12:56 PM

Nice work CJ.

Nforce2XP · Oct 16, 2005, 02:01 PM

WUAO congrat... my friend, very nice and clean guides. thanx you for giving us some help.

A guide for a Compaq evo would be of quite a bit of use to me right now........

cj2600 · Oct 18, 2005, 11:58 PM

New guide is ready:

Disassembling Toshiba Tecra TE2100.

http://irisvista.com/tech/laptops/To...raTE2100_1.htm

Thank you. I work mostly with Toshiba laptops (99%). I think it's not very difficult to find teardown guides for Dell, HP, IBM and very hard for Toshibas. So, I'll fix it.
