Removed monitor for cleaning

Toshiba Satellite P30 (notebook) I removed the keyboard, monitor, hard drive, and top cover to repair a dirty/sticky power switch (would not power up) While disassembling, I unplugged 2 wires I believe are power supply to the monitor 1 black and 1 white. These 2 wires plug into a module designated as a 2.4DSOF4 (problem is I looked away briefly and lost concetration) these wires plug into 2 jacks labeled "main" and "aux" I need to know which one goes where. (black to where? and white to where?) Also I should replace the power supply swich since I opened the thing up to fix that in the first place. Who supplies these micro switches? (5 terminal switch)

Unsoldered the master power switch and the reverse scan button (micro switchs) from the mother board and traded each others place, (the reverse scan switch into with the master power switchposition and vice versa.) Allowed the two confused wires to hang naturally and took a chance and plugged them in where they seemed to remember being plugged in. re-assembled and working good.

TOSHIBA U925T LCD replacement guide?

Well it is not that hard as it seams to be. First catch at Toshiba is plastic overlay above the keyboard it is cca 10 mm thick you should remove it with the screw driver carefuly. when removed you'll find screws unscrew them. After that remove hard drive and remove the cover for ram slots. Then remove all screws from the bottom side of the notebook. After that turn the notebook on the right side as you would do it normaly when using it. Remove the keyboard. After that remove all screws that you'll find under the keyboard. When done carefully remove the upper cover of the notebook. After that dismount the cables that come from the monitor to the mainboard and remove the screws holding the monitor brackets. Then you'll be able to remove the monitor. The monitor has litle rubber circles in every corner remove them. You'll find screws under them. Unscrew them and grab the plastic border of the monitor from the inner side and pull it towards you. So now you have removed it and the only thing that has left is to remove the side brackets you'll see little screws from the side - remove them and also remove the signal cable from the back of the monitor. When done take new monitor and do the reverse procedure.

Where can I find a schematic or instructions to open my toshiba satellite u205-s5067 laptop. I want to clean/replace my fan.

Taking apart a laptop to change the fan is a relatively simple task. Just keep track of where all the screws go and follow these steps:

1. Shutdown the laptop and remove the AC adapter. Disconnect any devices, such as a printer or external DVD-ROM or drive, that are attached to the laptop

2. Remove the laptop battery. Turn the laptop upside down, slide the battery release latch and then pull the battery out of the bay.

3. Unscrew the hard drive cover. Grab the hard drive tab and shift the hard drive to the left to unplug it. Lift the hard drive out of the bay.

4. Unscrew and remove the PCI memory cover, the optical drive cover, and switch cover.

5. Unscrew the two screws that hold the keyboard to the base, these are located in the middle of the rear panel. Flip the laptop over so it is right side up, open and remove the keyboard by using the keyboard release switches located above the keyboard. Next, unplug the Toshiba Satellite U205-S5067 Fan cable.

6. Close the laptop and turn it over so it is bottom up. Unscrew the display assembly screws located under the laptop screen hinges. Turn the laptop over so it is right side up. Open the laptop and unplug the display assembly cable and disconnect the wireless antenna from the display assembly. Unscrew the display assembly from the laptop base and remove.

7. Unplug the mouse pad cable. Turn the laptop over so the bottom side is up and unscrew the base screws which are located along all four sides of the laptop base. Gently remove the base of the laptop.

8. Turn the laptop over so it is right side up. Unplug the fan cable from the circuit board. Unscrew the screws holding the Toshiba Satellite U205-S5067 CPU fan assembly to the laptop. Lift the fan assembly out of the laptop.

9. Insert the new Toshiba Satellite U205-S5067 CPU fan assembly into the lap top. Screw the assembly unit to the lap top and plug the Toshiba Satellite U205-S5067 CPU cooling fan cable into the circuit board.

10. Reassemble the laptop by repeating the previous steps in reverse order.

Hope this helps.

How do I replace the keyboard?

next to the F1 key and the windows key (2nd upper key and second to last key) are two screws, usually under some covering. unscrew and lift top edge of the keyboard towards the trackpad to lay face down. Undo the wire ribbon by lifting the grey or brown tabs and remove ribbon and keyboard. Then install the new keyboard by inserting the ribbon on the place. Lock down with the tabs and put the plastic prongs (close to the space bar) into the laptop body first, and then close keyboard onto the final position. screw back in and thats all.

My dog peed on the screen/keyboard of my Toshiba Satellite laptop. Now we can't turn it on. Is there any hope of rescuing this machine?

There are a couple of things that probably got wet.

First of all, if it is still wet, you need to get it upside down, and get it open to dry it out, use alcohol to clean off the stained areas.

If you remove the screws on the back, and get the power strip with the lights on the top of the keyboard off. It pops off very carefully, but you need to unscrew the retainer screws poss in the battery compartment, or just on the bottom.

Also, once that strip is off, you should be able to unscrew a couple screws to get the keyboard off. There might be a screw or two on the bottom again, holding the keyboard down.

My guess is the keyboard is hosed, literally. I just had a customer who has a wine spill, and after clean up, everything but the keyboard worked.

Make sure you clean out the power area, up by the power switch, speakers, and whatever else is up there.

Worst case, you might need to take it to a repair shop to get the whole body cleaned out down into the motherboard.

Lastly, you can carefully remove the monitor faceplate with the screws hidden by rubber buttons, and then look at the electronics on the bottom and see if they are stained and wet. Your inverter could have gotten wet. That is the slim little metal/covered device at the bottom of the screen.

Get it dried out, and cleaned with alcohol. Many times the keyboard has to be replaced, but it still should start up if the rest of the computer is working ok. It depends, some models will not start up with a keyboard that is bad.
