RE: tectra 2100
I am looking at this website on
taking apart a toshiba tecra 2100
the speakers DO NOT POP right off..as pictured
I cannot get them off at all…with the risk of cracking the plastic-also there seems to be square buttons on the back of each speaker which you do not mention in your website-but they are not helping me remove these speakers
I cannot get this laptop apart
I already cracked the plastic power button cover/protective shield on front
the pictures make it look like
Voila-the speakers pop right off
Not on this tecra they dont..
I really need to get this screen off to change the lcd ribbon cable badly
any ideas or advice?
I am at MY wits end with this computer
and NO
these laptops do not come apart as easily as it looks on your website
seems to be held together with
cement-or
auto bondo i mean it!
this is i factory condition
so-either toshiba GLUES all the plastic the parts On
OR I dont know what-there’s a little gold looking screw thing UNDER the speaker-not a regular screw-maybe like a star shape..i cannot remove..
anyway-the speakers will Not come off unless I break them off
I already CUT/spliced the LCD ribbon wire trying to
“easily” remove the plastic piece that’s over the keyboard..I had to PRY it off
I maybe should invest in a sledge hammer with this laptop
anyway thanks
if you know another way to REMOVE this screen id appreciate it alot

If it were not for this forum, I would have never had the guts to tear into and fix my laptop. I would feel guilty I didn't try to help. If anyone finds a good cheap source for the vga transboard, please post it. Thanks. Glad it pinpointed the problem for you Nestor.

Excellent work you did, THANK YOU. I have some questions though, I reseated the video card, but there was no change on the video, it still flickers and shows lines and squares all over the screen as it flickers. And it does this from the moment the laptop is turned on. Do you think this is caused by the video card? or could it be the yellow connector that connects to the vga? I noticed that this connector showed some stains on the side attached to the little circuit where the vga connects. Could the connector be damaged due to overheating? Thanks so much in advance Nestor. I followed your instructions to disassemble my laptop. Excellent work you did, THANK YOU.

They call it a TransBoard. You can see it @ step 19 & 20 of the disassemble guide. Be very gentle removing the ribbons as the sockets tend to come unsoldered, then you have 25 little contacts to worry about. Right now I have one working board and two I'm attempting to micro solder. The part numbers I have found for the VGA are: V000011110, V000010930, V000010890, V000010880. I replaced the inverter board and the ccfl lamp in the display before I figured out it was the VGA card. I've bought enough parts off ebay to build a backup laptop if I can get another VGA to work. Good luck! Nestor: You can replace the VGA. They call it a TransBoard.
