This guide explains how to get inside a Toshiba Satellite M35 notebook and remove all internal parts. Even though Satellite M35 sounds almost like Satellite M35X, it’s a completely different model and requires different disassembly steps.
Hard drive, DVD drive, wireless card, both memory stick, battery and modem in this model are accessible from the bottom of the laptop.
In order to replace the cooling fan, you’ll have to disassemble the whole thing apart.
This model has video card with dedicated memory integrated into the motherboard. If your laptop suddenly started displaying some strange symbols or symmetrical vertical lines on the screen, probably it happens because of faulty video memory. Test your laptop with an external screen and check if the same defect appears on the external video. If it does, it’s a problem with onboard video card. In this case you’ll have to replace the whole motherboard.

OK,
Let me make it more clear.
In the main post there is a link to the disassembly guide. Take a look at the first sentence and you see that part of the text is blue. Put your mouse over the blue test and click on the left button. It should take you to the disassembly guide.

Actually you are correct on the BGA ram in the video circuit being the primary cause of Lines symetrically spaced on the screen and or artifacts. We can however reflow these with success generally as opposed to replacing the entire systemboard. Feel free to contact us if you need help.
