Nice guides.

Do you have any for Acer laptops?

Thanks

I do not work on Acer laptops, mostly Toshibas.

I finished couple guides for tablet PC:

Toshiba Portege M200 tablet PC. Removing LCD screen and replacing digitizer.

How to dismantle Toshiba Portege M205 laptop. Toshiba tablet PC disassembly guide.

And one more for an older laptops:

Toshiba Satellite 5105 guide. Removing and replacing video (VGA) board.

The M200 and M205 are the same laptop; you can probably change the guide names to match. The M205s are just the fixed-config retail M200s.

Also, speaking from experiences of others, I reckon Step 3 of the LCD removal guide deserves a special mention for how insanely fragile the mask is.

Apart from that, nice guides. Saves me from having to experiment on mine.

The second guide was created and submitted by user LilKevin715.

Also, on my home page I posted a link to the website with disassembly guides for Macintosh laptops.

How about putting an Index of all the updates in the first post (edit to include new guides). I wanted to check and see if you have the 5205 manual. Knowing how prone I am to overlooking the obvious, I went through the three pages and did not see it.

You need an index. A link to it in your signature would suffice.

Seeing as the Index is your home page, why not put a link to your home page in your signature?

OK, I'll create a signature.
Thank you.

Thank You, good stuff you are putting out.

Wow! I really need this but the laptop I am trying to dismantle a Portege M100 because I spilled wine on my keyboard and now some of the keys are shorted out and are actively pressed. Other than that, it still works fine.

Wine in the keyboard... how did that happen

Toshiba Tecra S1.
New guide with instructions.
How to disassemble and repair.
You’ll find the instructions here: http://tech.irisvista.com/laptops/To.../tecraS1_1.htm

A long, long time ago I used to be a certified Toshiba engineer.. The Tecras were horrible to take apart.. 60-70 screws with 2 different sizes and 4-5 different lengths.. Took me 2 hours to replace the main pcb..

my gf got me a new toshiba m100 satellite, but for some reason she only got 256mb RAM. i picked up 2x1 gb ram at newegg. i had no problem putting the first gb in (in the memory slot at the base of the computer), but i can't figure out how to get to the second memory slot. does anyone know how to access the second memory slot?

Thanks
