Taking apart Toshiba Satellite P100 and P105 notebooks
These guide will show how to take apart Toshiba Satellite P100 and P105 notebooks. This model is very similar to many other Toshiba models and shares the same disassembly steps.
In order to remove the DVD drive on this model you’ll have to get under the keyboard and remove one screw securing the drive. For the DVD drive removal follow steps 5,6,7,13. The screw witch secures the DVD drive is shown on the step 12.
If you are replacing the keyboard, it’s not necessary to remove all screws and parts from the bottom of the laptop. Just pop up the keyboard bezel, remove six keyboard screws, disconnect the keyboard from the motherboard and replace it. For the keyboard replacement follow steps 5,6,7.
This disassembly guide would be the same for a Toshiba Satellite P100 notebook, except that P100 has a discrete video card pictured on the step 21.

Hi thanks for your great assembly guide, for the Satellite Pro P100. It enabled me to disassemble the beast completely.
A word of warning is that some models have a bluetooth antenna cable connected from the LCD to a small PCB near the USB board. I accidentally snapped mine, because I failed to notice it.
Kind regards
Scott

Hi
Thanks for providing the guides – very kind.
I’m tring to access the interior of my P100 to investigate what damage has been caused by mistakenly attaching an 18v supply. (Is there a fuse or such inside?)
I have followed the instructions and removed all the screws shown on the diagram but the underside of the casing will not detach. It seems to be held somewhere in the middle (the perimeter opens to a gap of about 2cm all round). Once the screws are removed are there any clips to release in order to remove the base?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Great handy guide! I followed it to replace the fan/heatsink. But……….now after reassembly there is no SOUND. Took it all back apart (after sucessful reassemble and startup!) and rechecked all the wires/sound card. All looked good; no sound on bootup. Next, removed sound card device manager, reboot, reinstalled sound card driver automatically; says working…still no sound. Ideas?

Kyle,
I believe in a Satellite P105 the DC jack mounts to the base assembly. If the mounting bracket is broken, you’ll have to replace the base assembly or find another way to mount the jack.
Base assembly part number: A000005670.

Larry,
The black plastic piece is the locking clip. The connector opens like a door on hinges. Take a look at this picture: http://www.insidemylaptop.com/images/Acer-TravelMate-3260/remove-power-board-08.jpg
It’s same type of the connector. It’s shown in the unlocked position.

Dune,
Make sure the LCD screen is properly connected to the video cable.
