Hello everyone out there can help me please I have an Toshiba Satellite P25-S609 PSP20U-19PS8R)laptop. My kid has tear the serial number off out from the base of our notebook and we lost it long ago.

I try to remove the LCD mask from my Toshiba Satellite P20. I already removed four screws above and on both sides, but below, there seem to be two more, just above the hinges. Are these screws or just latches? I think the P25 has two more screws below. Somebody here replayced the display of a P20 (not P25) and can help me. Thanks a lot. Gerald

I was donated a Toshiba P20 series laptop. Allegedly working well on dispatch. Now seems to boot up but the screen remains blank. Any ideas?

Hi
I have a P25-S607 which had a broken AC jack.. I took it to a repair place and after they fixed the jack, the laptop wont boot… when I press the start button, it comes on for a few seconds and you can hear the fans running, and then it just stops. The power button stays lit up but nothing comes up on the screen and none of the drive LED’s light up… I saw some other posts with this same problem when I read through… any idea what the problem could be? Motherboard? RAM? CPU?

Thanks
Dan

I took the 2 silver screws off the hinge for the display
now I cannot get it open, even putting the screws back in
I can only open about 1 inch.
Any ideas how to get the display open?
Thanks

My notebook Toshiba satellite P20-771 gave me a problem with the ram of graphic Nvidia GeForce Go5700 (only 64MB instead of 128MB) and I think that a banc of ram is damaged (infact if I disinstall Graphics driver there is no problem instead if I use Nvidia Driver the computers doesn’t work and after few minutes stops himself). How can I change it?
Thanks and beg your pardon for my english.
Bye

Garry Cook,

I have a bad power port, and am taking my Satellite P25-S676 apart. All is well so far, but I can’t figure out how the display cable disconnects from the motherboard. It doesn’t seem to be the same type connection as the keyboard cable connector. Can you explain how to get it to release?

Yes, it’s a different type of connector. There should be a tag on the video cable connector.
Simply lift it up by the tag.

Hi there – very useful article.

Does anyone know where I can get a HDD bay adaptor to add a second hard disk drive. I have seen them on-line but every time I try to buy one the websites say they are out of stock!?

Thanks – Dave

Sarah,

I’m trying to replace the LCD monitor and your post is really helped me a lot. But I am wondering when I replace the monitor, Should I replace inverter together? I am very confusing..

If you are replacing just the LCD screen, it is not necessary to replace the inverter board.
