Cheers David. Without this tutorial, I’d never have discovered those 7 screws under the keyboard. 🙏

Toshiba really doesn't want us to clean that fan

Thanks for the video makes so much easier to repair the broken DC jack

Needed to tear my Satellite down to replace snapped screen hinges - I'm a complete amateur and this video was brilliant help...Thanks!

Thank You! Removing the battery is standard. Removing the small hard drive and Ram cover is also standard, and removing the 2 screws holding the keyboard in would be standard. There are a lot of videos on how to replace the keyboard in a Dynabook, but your video was the only one that showed going at it from the bottom by the control key. And, the screw I needed to remove was actually inside the area near the RAM. Success thanks to you.

Wow, talk about over-engineered. Thank you so much for that.

Thank you for this simple yet helpful video.

Thanks for the video, my toshiba satellite had a broken display and I replaced it for a new one, but now the new screen is dim, barely can see the screen, so I think the problem is with the backlight connection, and this video gives me the clue about wherever to search the problems, thanks again

This a terrific video, really clear and easy to follow. It has taken away any fear I had. The one I am looking at has a fan that is not spinning at all, so obviously the laptop generates overheating messages within a minute of starting up. The fan looks very accessible, so I'm hoping it's just clogged with dust. thank you!

Concise and to the point especially on how to remove the keyboard. I would have damaged the left-hand screw if you didn’t remind it

[NickInTimeFilms]

Awesome video, I'm working on a C75D-A7286 and got all the screws out of the back but couldn't figure out why the rear cover still wouldn't come off. Didn't notice the keyboard clips and screws underneath so thanks!

I have model C50-A-1JP. It is similar to the model you have dismantled but you don't have to remove the keyboard in order to get the bottom cover off. You do have to remove the one screw that holds it in from underneath though. The keyboard is held in with one screw on the left hand side fromt the front. The right hand side of the keyboard has a flat headed pin where the screw would be expected to be. If you do want to get the keyboard out you have to lever the keyboard up very carefuly with a screwdriver pushed underneath it to release this pin. to replace push the right hand side of the keyboard down and the pin will click into place.

hii dpcomputing i wanted know how to reset bios and where can i find the bios IC ?? 

[nikoshurricane]

In order for me to clean the laptop with compressed air do i have to open it like you did or is there an easier/safer way for me to do it? I'm kinda scared to do the things you did due to me being a total noob and a bit clumsy. Excellent video mate. Cheers from Greece.
