Battery compartment cover

Things You'll Need

• Jeweler's screwdriver or paper clip

• 9-volt battery

• Insert the jeweler's screwdriver or paper clip into the small hole in the plastic panel, just below the keypad and to the right of the keyhole.
• Slide the panel to the right.
• Carefully pull the old battery out.
• Carefully unsnap the wire connector from of the old battery. The connections are like clothing snaps and just pull off.
• Snap the connector onto the new battery. Be sure to observe polarity--it will fit only one way.
• Carefully put the new battery into the battery compartment, storing the wires out of the way of the cover.
• Insert the cover in its slots, and slide it back into place with the jeweler's screwdriver or the paper clip.

Power down your Toshiba Satellite.

Unplug it from the wall.

Turn the machine over and remove the battery.

Locate the RAM compartment cover, which is usually located somewhere in the middle of the underside, and is about 4-by-4 inches.

Unscrew the RAM cover screw with a Phillips screwdriver and set aside.

Ground yourself by touching a metal object.

This will release any static electricity built up in your body, which can harm computer chips and components.

You can also use an anti-static wristband while you are working.

Remove RAM modules if needed.

This is most likely if you are upgrading the present RAM capacity with a larger RAM chip.

Press your fingers on the clips on either side of the chip to pop it out of the socket.

Pull the chip out of the RAM compartment, holding it by the sides of the circuit board rather than on the chip.

Insert the new RAM module into the socket. Align the RAM module so that the notch lines up with the tab on the side of the socket.

Gently lower the module into the socket. Press into place with your fingers.

Replace the RAM compartment cover. Insert the screw and tighten.

Replace the battery and secure with the lock.

Plug the Toshiba Satellite laptop back in and power up the system.

The upgraded RAM should be automatically recognized.

hope this helps

Instructions

Shut down your Toshiba laptop, and then disconnect all cables. Close the LCD lid, and then place the laptop face down on a flat surface. Position the laptop with front edge facing you.

Locate the battery pack near the top section of the laptop's bottom casing. Press on the battery release button. Remove the battery from the laptop.

Locate the cooling fan compartment cover. Its location varies from laptop to laptop, but it will be the only hardware cover with a vent in it. Remove the Phillips-head screws securing the fan's cover in place. Remove the cover from the laptop.

Disconnect the fan's cable from its connector on the motherboard. Remove the Phillips-head screws securing the fan in place. Lift the old fan out of the fan compartment and set it aside. Removing the old fan will reveal the processor chip. Apply a thin coat of thermal grease to the processor's surface using a clean paper towel. This will prevent your new processor from frying once you power on your laptop.

Place the new cooling fan assembly inside the fan compartment. Align the screw holes on the new fan with the screw holes inside the compartment. Replace the four retaining Phillips-head screws, and then reconnect the fan's power cable to the motherboard. Replace the fan compartment's plastic cover, and its retaining Phillips-head screws.

Replace the battery pack and reconnect all power cables and external devices. Turn on your laptop to test the new cooling fan
