Champagne was spilt in on my computer through my keyboard. Do you have any instructions how to replace the keyboard or take it out, or what I can use to clean my computer. My laptop is Toshiba Satalite L45 Thanks

Chrystal Navarrete,

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.

Hi, I have a L40-10Q.

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 ?

Hi!

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

Rob.
