Great guide, replaced the screen and it works, but I managed to break the mouse. Probably just knocked a cable, but what one?
Thanks for the help.

Hi Now im no noob but removing the top bezel seems to be overly difficult. I know you said all you can really do is feel your way but this one seems to be glued down? Is there a particular place to start/pry apart with a screwdriver? Perhaps a video of it being done? This is the first modern Tosh I have handled and seems overly convoluted. many thanks

george,

i was wondering where is the webcam plugged into? If the cable went loose what part of the computer do i have to open is it the screen or on the actual motherboard?

The webcam cable is plugged into the motherboard. In order to access the cable you’ll have to remove the top cover assembly. You’ll find guide at http://www.irisvista.com/tech/

Incredible guide, thank you very much! It is very helpful!

I was wondering, since you mention it is possible to remove the screen bezel without removing the top cover, how would one go about doing this?

I’ve completely detached the bezel from the entire screen save for the bit that curls around the inverter, and I don’t really want to remove the keyboard/top cover. I know you said it’s difficult, but even so, it must be possible, no?

Thanks a lot,
Dan

I have a Toshiba A300 and have been experiencing problems with the backlight. What started as flickering has now progressed to the backlight shutting down altogether, and me having to close the lid. Upon opening the screen opens and the laptop then shuts itself down. When the laptop comes back on it will often go blank straight away and I have to repeat the whole process again. It seems to depend on what angle I open the screen to. Also the problem seems to be amplified if I am on battery power alone, often resulting in me having to plug in the ac adapter.

I have followed your advice and connected an old external monitor to the laptop and strangely cannot replicate the problem with the monitor plugged in! When I unplugged the monitor and moved the screen everything is fine except for the odd flicker. Now not sure what is going on, can anyone help?

Thanks

Andrew.
