Screw wont come out. Any ideas? Can you provide which size screwdriver should have worked? I called Toshiba and they said take it to a repair facility. Wouldn't even tell me about removing the screw to change out the drive. RE: removing Optical Drive from L355D-S7825:

Is the link not working for anyone else or is it just me?

The link works, I just tested.

My dvd drive will not stay closed and the instructions on how to replace it would really be handy!

It will not stay closed at all or it will open by itself a few moments after you close it?

For over a year my L350 kept getting too hot. 95 degrees Celsius wasn't a rarity. I kept blaming the drivers, and searching for newer or older drivers to solve the problem. In the meantime using coolpacks under the laptop. But today the laptop became so hot that even booting Windows 7 shut down the laptop. So now I really had to use your site to fix it. The site was in my favorites already for months but I never dared to take the risc. (Too tiny screws, too thick fingers) At first attempt... wow what a thick pack of dust behind the fan. Removed it. Screw the laptop together. And found out the fan didn't rotate anymore. So forgot to connect the fan-cable... I thought. Not..... Everything was connected okay. (Laptop wasn't hot enough to enable the fan yet :)) So screw it together again, to find out I forgot the 2 screws for the motherboard. So had to start over for the 3rd time. All fine and working, but still getting way to hot. Yes...forgot to check the cooling-paste. So for the 4th time unscrew the laptop, added some cooling paste. Screw it all together againnnn.... and.... YESSSS it's working okay now !! You're manual was very helpfull, I'd never have done it without the pictures. Otherwise probably would have ended up buying a new Laptop. Thank you !!! Thank you very much !!

Help, my heat sink is seriously filled with dust and I need to clean it.
