Disassembling LAPTOP. Teardown guide with pictures.

Ok, guys. I know that it is very hard to find a teardown guide with pictures for a laptop. So, I decided to create it myself. I just started a new website. This web site will help you to disassemble laptops to fix it. Right now I have 4 complete teardown guides for the following units:
Toshiba Satellite 1415
Toshiba Satellite M35X
Toshiba Satellite A60/A65
Toshiba Satellite A70/A75

More coming. I'll create a guide for any unit I have to repair (not only for Toshibas). Stay tuned.

Thanks cj2600 for taking the time to do this, it may come in handy one day.

Hello, I added three new disassembly guides with pictures:

Remove laptop LCD screen. Toshiba Tecra A3

Good luck.

Thanks for all your outstanding work! I have a Toshiba 1135, and I imagine some of the models listed might be fairly similar in disassembly and repair.
A suggestion - arrows or some marker to show what parts that the fotos are featuring, for those of us who have never seen the insides of a laptop and don't know what we're looking at.
Again, Thanks so much!

I would LOVE to see you do the new HP DV1000. I have this and would really like to remove the celeron M and replace it with a pentium M off ebay but unsure if I even can or how fast I can go, it's currently a 1600.

I went through one of the posts; although I have Sager NP-5320V, I can figure out atleast one thing from what has been shown. What a wonderful guide - if only the people at Sager tech support realized this and posted something like this to their international customers who do not have the luxury of being able to send it to Sager for every minor fault!!

I liked the work done by you - if only these posts are available in some form of zip or something? Could you please have a look under the hoods of Sager NP-5320V as well please? Please!!!
