I need to replace the fan on my Toshiba Satellite m65. I looked at several sites and confused. Do I really have to take the whole thing apart? Like taking off the screen etc? Any help would be very appreciated.

Yep, you have to follow all steps in the second guide until the motherboard is removed. The cooling fan is mounted inside the laptop, under the motherboard. There is no easy access to it from the bottom of the laptop.

I have used your guides twice now and find them very helpful. I just sent another donation. My use today was disassembing the screen on my Toshiba Satellite M65 and replacing the LCD display.

Thank you for your generous donation!

This note is to advise you that you need an additional step between steps 6 and 7 to remove the two hinge screws exposed after the bezel is removed.

It looks like I missed one step. I’ll fix it when I have time. Thanks for the correction.

I have a toshiba M60 and when i turn off the computer and turn it on the screen does not come on but the computer boots up ok?

Can you see any image on the screen at all? Look very closely, the image could be very dim.
If you can see the image, but the screen is very dark, it means the backlight is not working properly.
That could be related to the inverter board or backlight lamp.

it takes like 10 tries before the screen works. is this a screen problem?

I don’t know yet. First, you have to find if there is an image on the screen with it’s dark.

What does then inverter do?

The inverter board is a power supply for the backlight lamp. When inverter fails, the backlight doesn’t turn on. Anything else will work fine, except the backlight. You still should be able to use the laptop with an external monitor attached to the VGA port.

I have a M60 laptop….i would like to know how to exchange or disassemble the video card…

I believe that Satellite M60 laptop is very similar to Satellite M65.
I published a guide for removing the motherboard from a Satellite M65 laptop on http://www.irisvista.com/tech/
Check out the guide.
By the way, on most Toshiba laptops the video card is integrated into the system board and cannot be removed or replaced separately. Before you start taking the whole thing apart, make sure you have a discrete video card.

now I cant enter to the bios, at the moment I dont need to change nothing but I want to take out this protection, is any form to take back?

Unfortunately, I cannot help with that. Make sure the CapsLock key is not turned on.
