Charlie,

i need to replace the fan on a toshiba satellite A210 do u have any idea where i can find a full service manual thanks

Isn’t it similar to taking apart Satellite A200/A205 laptop?
Here’s the disassembly guide: http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-a205/laptop-disassembly-1.htm
There are 4 pages in the guide and you’ll see how to access the fan.

Mayhem,

I have a Satellite A210-128 with a smashed LCD screen. Can I use just any A210-128 screen from ebay or does it HAVE to be the same part number?

Most likely any screen designed for A210-128 will work fine.

I appreciate the great info! I was able to easily clean up my mother-in-law’s laptop and look like the hero! What a great find! Thanks!

dergt,

Hi, does anyone have any tips for removing a sony memory stick that I have managed to get stuck in the memory card slot, do I need to take the back of the laptop (Toshiba satellite A210)I really don’t want to destroy the card as it contains photos of my newborn!

You can try removing the memory stick with a tool similar to dental pick. I did it a few times before without damaging the memory stick.

I have just taken apart my a215-7416 and there are several major differences from the steps here. To get the top of the case off, you have to remove the display… the top edge of the case top wraps under the pivot of the screen. I actually broke part of the metal frame inside trying to figure out how to release the top edge after getting everything else free. The speaker cover IS part of the keyboard bezel.. really hard to get off, but you have to remove it to get to the hinge screws anyway. I removed just the silver bezel strip above the keyboard but they are not supposed to come apart, now it won’t go back together, TAKE THE TWO PIECES OFF TOGETHER! Other than a few other first-time laptop mistakes, this guide was very helpful. Going to clean everything while I have it apart, wondering if I’ll ever get it back together now!
