Toshiba Satellite M55 laptop is a pretty new model with 14.1-inch TruBrite widescreen display. The guide will show you how to open laptop display assembly if you want to remove and replace the screen. Even though I didn’t picture the battery removal step in my guide, you should always start laptop disassembly with removing the battery. The LCD screen mask is shaped a little bit different then on older laptops and it might take more time to remove it from the display assembly. I usually start LCD mask removal around the hinge area. Place fingers between the mask and the screen and wiggle it a little bit until you feel that latches are released. It is hard to explain how much you have to flex the mask not to crack it, just be very careful and do not hurry. After the latches on the bottom of the mask are released, you can start separating the mask from the display assembly on the sides and finally on the top. The FL inverter board in this model is located under the laptop speakers. To get access to the Fl inverter board cables you have to unscrew the speakers and put them a little bit aside. The best way to find a spare LCD screen is to use a Toshiba part number on the back of the screen. The part number can be located on a sticker and it look like this: K0000270850
