Where is the BIOS battery located? I have forgotten my BIOS password, and now I can’t get on my laptop.

Removing/disconnecting the BIOS battery will not help to clear the BIOS password.

I have done exactely as your guide describes, but still I cannot open the laptop.

It is as if some screws are holding the keypad. And I cannot find it. However I assume it to be under the silver topside plastic. However this plastic cannot be removed seperately ?

Thanks for a great guide. I have an L40 which keeps going to sleep at random while in use. I believe it may be caused by a faulty lid-closed sensor, since the prob doesn’t occur when the machine is booted to MemTest86 or a Linux LiveCd, and it is greatly reduced when Windows Vista is set to “do nothing” when closing the lid.

Where is the lid sensor on this model, and what does it look like – I don’t see any sign of the “push in” button type things that did the job on older models.

TIA

I wish upgrade vga card laptop toshiba satellite L40. You can help me?. Please…

You cannot. The video card is integrated into the motherboard and cannot be removed/replaced/upgraded. You are stuck with what you got.

I acceidentaly cracked the screen. Do you have instructions for removing and replacing the screen? Is it difficult?

I don’t have instructions for a Satellite L40/L45 laptop but it will not be much different from any other Toshiba laptop. You can use this guide for a Satellite M45 laptop as an example.
