Toshiba Satellite A20 and A25. How to remove keyboard and upgrade memory modules.
Removing and replacing memory on a Toshiba Satellite A20 or A25 notebook is not as easy ad it should be. Both memory modules are located under the keyboard. A laptop keyboard has to be replaced in order to get access to the memory modules. Before you remove the keyboard do not forget to remove the laptop battery or you can damage the laptop. Be careful when you remove the keyboard securing strip; do not bend it too much. To remove the memory module from the slot on the system board, release the latches on both sides and the memory module will pop up. It will stay at a 30 degree angle to the system board. Firmly grasp the memory module and remove it from the slot.

I have a Satellite M60 bk-3. The numeric keypad doesn’t work, and I have 2 vertical lines down my video screen. What do I need to do?

Thank you for these instructions – I followed them to add some memory and it was clear and easy. However, I also tried to replace my keyboard while I was in there, and broke the little plastic tab that holds the keyboard tape in place. I saw on some other thread that there’s no spare parts for that – do you kno w if that’s true, and/or does anyone know of a way to work around it? Many thanks for any help.

Can you please tell me how to replace the small fan on the side of the notebook used to cool the CPU and memory on my A25-S279? Thank you in advance for your help.

Your instructions were very helpful in replacing my keyboard. I was perplexed at how to actually remove the strip that connects the keyboard to the laptop (it just unplugs). Spent awhile figuring that part out but thanks a ton.

Hello,
I have a Satelite A25-S2792 laptop and my space bar is broken and the plastic pieces needed are what is actually broke. I need to either replace the entire keyboard or just that one key with the plastic parts that go under the space bar. I’d prefer to just change the entire keyboard but don’t know where to buy this. Any help would be appreciated. I am deparate and need to fix this yesterday…I use this laptop for my work.
Thanks for any help.
Lori
