Toshiba Satellite L20 and L25 disassembly instructions

Toshiba Satellite L20 L25Toshiba Satellite L25 laptop disassembly instructions should be similar to Satellite L20. At least on Google images for both models look very similar.
Here are two different guides for the same model.
The first guide explains how to take apart the laptop display panel. Using this guide you’ll be able to remove or replace screen bezel, inverter board and LCD screen. Also, you can use this guide for replacing wireless card antenna cables and video cable.
The second guide explains how to remove and overclock the laptop CPU.

    I have problem with model Satellite L20 - BIOS is constantly reseted each time after shut down my notebook. Please can you tell me, if BIOS is powered by CMOS battery or a capacitor? Potentially where is the capacitator on motherboard?
    Thank you and sorry my English.

    Hey I seem to be having a problem with my screen, I can only see the top quarter of the screen. The rest is distorted, and can only be restored by pressing down on a certain part of the screen really hard. Possible a connection is loose or something, but can you show me how to fix it, or to restore it. Thanks a million and great guide

    Great page, thanks for all the info.
    The only thing I disagree with is the info on thermal paste. Only a very small amount should be used, and it will spread itself when the cpu is installed correctly.
    The pics on this site show too much paste being used, and would act as an insulator, rather than a cooler, which may do more harm then good.
    For good instructions, see Arctic Silver’s home page

    hi
    i disassambled my L10 using this page, thanks. I soldered power jack and reassambled again. but somehow the very tiny bits in my monitor switch(the teeny weeny thingy that the monitor presses when shut) fell off. Now te laptop won’t start. I guess it assumes the monitor is shut. If not, I wonder what’s up. I it is so, how can I fix this? I need to bypass tha switch so the monitor is always on, whether or not shut.
    please help me, I’m gonna make a decent donation since this will save my like a couple hundred bucks…

    It fell off of the switch, right? Maybe there is something stuck inside the switch? Take a look inside with a magnifying glass and maybe try lifting it up with a needle.
    I think it’s possible that the lid close switch is pressed down and the laptop “thinks” the display is closed.

    You are asking about the connector on the left side of the inverter board if you face the LCD screen, right? OK, I just found a Satellite L25-S1215 and remove the bezel. I have different colors, but they are similar.
    When the inverter board is installed, the cables are connected in the following order.
    Top to bottom: black (closest to the LCD screen), gray, blue, brown, red. Not sure if it helps.

    I think you should get a new video cable. If you connect those cables incorrectly, you can fry the motherboard.
