Awesome Guide!!! My buddy’s laptop’s button was pushed through into the case and I was able to take apart the whole thing (up to the point where you remove the top cover plate where the power button is. I bought some epoxy and glued the thing back to its three glue points. The thing works perfectly now. This is the second laptop I open and fix successfully thanks to people like the site publishers.

Wow, this looks great!
I’m having issues with the power button not working, or working after I disconnect the battery and retry boot.
I was told I should look into replacing the power ribbon.
How many steps do I need to get to in order to do this?
Thank you very much in advance!!!

Is it possible to remove the rear cover of Toshiba M45 (S269) after performing the step of sliding the DVD tray out?
How can I get access to the 2 USB ports and S-Video Out port above the DVD drive to verify physical connections with the motherboard? Finally, how could I replace one of the two above-mentioned USB ports? Thanks!

I have a M45 S169 There are NOT 2 memory modules under the cover of Step #3. The second memory module is hidden under the keyboard. This company(Toshiba) is a complete joke. Off to the HP store now to purchase one I can actually work on without taking the chance of breaking their poorly constructed laptops.

Well I figured it out. You have to lay the laptop all the way open and then it comes out easily.

I too have tried to use the guide and cannot get the keyboard securing strip off. The guide shows it coming off easily and it definately isn’t coming off easily. I’ve popped it off on both sides and two rivets in the back but it’s still firmly attached in the back by the hinges. Please help!!!
