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.

thank you!!!!!!!!!
This guide was a life saver!
I had dropped my toshiba satelite laptop which caused a few things inside of it to become unconnected. I needed to dissasemble it to fix it but was unsure how to go about doing it.
This gude was perfect!!!!It went step by step and I now have a working laptop once again.
Thanks a million!
I COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU!!!!

I have a question. I have a Satellite P100 Core Duo 1.6 GHz and I would like to know which type of CPU there is under the hood. I find FCPGA6 and Socket 479 types of CPU for Core 2 Duo.
I’m looking to change my CPU for a more powerful one. I think that the BIOS can take Core 2 Duo, even if I have a core duo inside. I did the latest BIOS upgrade.
Thanks for your help.
