Taking apart Toshiba Satellite M105 notebook
This guide will help you to take apart a Toshiba Satellite M105 notebook. You are welcome to post any tips and comments about taking apart/fixing or upgrading this computer.
This model is very similar to any other modern Toshiba notebooks.
Hard drive, CD/DVD drive, modem, wireless card and one of the memory modules can be easily accessed from the bottom. In order to get to the second memory module, you’ll have to get under the keyboard as it shown on the steps 9-15.
In order to remove and replace the cooling fan, you’ll have to remove the motherboard. If you feel uncomfortable doing that, take your laptop to a professional repair center.

Jonathan,
Did you read through the entire guide? The guide has 4 pages.
Read though the entire guide and you’ll get the idea how to replace the motherboard.
There are navigation links on the top and bottom of the guide: Page1 :: Page2 :: Page3 :: Page4

I need to replace the motherboard of a Tecra A6. I removed all the screws and components from the bottom of the notebook but stiil can not open it. The 2 screws at rear were removed as well. Could take it apart only at the rim but it seems to stay strongly attached somewhere. Do you maybe know what i am doing wrong? Is it right to open the bottom if i want to replace the motherboard?

Steve,
Check both memory modules. Make sure that both modules installed correctly. Try reconnecting them.
It sounds like one or both modules are not seated correctly.

installed two 1 gig chips of ram in my Toshiba Satellite M105-S1021 laptop. Followed all instructions and replaced the 512 mb under the keyboard and placed a 2nd 1gig chip from the underside slot. I get a black screen when I start it up. I hear a little activity for perhaps 5 seconds and then nothing. The fan runs too. What might the problem be and how might I fix it please. The chips came from Crucial and they were ordered after a scan of my computer.

Preparing for RAM upgrade on Toshiba Satellite M105-S322. I need to keep my notebook running for a while longer but can’t run my current apps without more RAM. I couldn’t find the second RAM location. Under the keyboard! I’m so glad I found your site. I just finished reading all the comments. I experienced the horrible spontaneous bios password issue in 2006 and got it repaired while under 1 yr warranty. I updated BIOS and noted that Toshiba is acknowledging the password problem. 2007 battery recall resulted in a free battery but it now holds zero charge and I don’t want to spend the money to replace it. I’ve had software issues and reformatted the HDD a couple of times. Fan runs more than I think it should but the screen and keyboard are holding up. With more RAM I will keep it alive a little longer.
