the inverters fail 1%your question really is impossible. (how to get to)CCFL., NO photos of you showing panel rear and that STICKER.then you ask how to get the LCD out;. will good luck there see my last post on that topicwhy even post until you open the back panel 100%remove the LCD paneland see what is there, most PC have 3 screen optonsand 3 makers of screens, so ONLY you opening itand see what screen actually is there, will work1: remove screen.2: see Toshiba sticker and P/N. and makers name and number too. (Samsung and LG are 2 top makers))3: then lock for the CCLF, the big clue is the Invereter cable goes to the CCFL array, 1 tube or 3 tubes on some.if you look at the screen and CCFL entry pointyou then (physical world is like this) we see3 possible ways in.1: easy it has a slide out tray?2: is a huge glue/plastic sandwich, impossible.3: has these silly metal bend tabs that snap off rendering my work useless, or I get invented with hot glue gun and rip it apart and find the tubes.spend $30 to $50 or tubes (sellers are scaplers)and make this work.as you can see I have done this.what is inside your PC nobody knows, due to the facts stated above. (it's optional when new/built)

F2 key method Turn the computer on. If you see an invitation to press the F2 key to enter Setup, do so. The Setup screen will appear. Toshiba Hardware utility method Run the Toshiba Hardware utility from the Toshiba Console. It may also accessible (as 'HWSetup') from the Windows Control Panel. Changes to some of the settings will require re-starting the computer. This method is the only way to access the BIOS settings on some notebook PCs (Satellite 5000 series, for example). (For these machines, pressing and holding the F12 key immediately after powering-on the notebook will allow you to alter the notebook's boot priority.) If the Toshiba Hardware utility is not present, try the F2 key method and the Esc key method (see below). The Toshiba Hardware utility may be downloaded from the Toshiba support website at //support.toshiba.com If the computer is fully off, and/or to avoid having to re-start it (and Windows), use one or the other of the following two methods. The PC will have to be truly off (not suspended, or in standby mode, or in hibernation mode). If an external keyboard is attached to the notebook (either directly or via a docking station or a port-replicator), disconnect it until you have completed this procedure. Esc key method Turn the computer on. If you do not see a prompt to press the F2 key, then immediately press and hold the Esc key for three seconds, and then release it. When prompted to, press the F1 key. The Setup screen will appear.

Try Number Lock again. Or, Check the Accessibility Options (Click Start type Ease of Access Center and hit Enter) in the Control Panel (options on Keyboard tab should be unchecked)

old post, there are no fuses. fan yes, mobo yes, and more all things lacking a HATCH. 11 years old, no spring chicken this. and may have CCFL lamps. CCFL dead , LCD goes dead. as all did now. this old. seem you got the wrong manual. the Toshiba web site shows NO SERVICE manuals, free. that is why I never own them, I buy dell or hp, as they do have manuals, for sure. my sis has one, and i had to use youtube to find all screws and those dang silly hidden secret plastic snap locks. yah, toshiba's SUX. the users manual shows , hatch covers off. show memory swaps. then omg fails to show RTC coin cell removal, yah. my sis, i put in a new LCD display and LED conversion kit. and new SSD drive. and loaded fresh W10 on it, so... im not helpless. it runs fast and well but I personally hat Toshiba PCs. I buy USA when I can, so there is that. i can not find true and matching service manual but see A200 series, yes. (from non OEM sources) 240+ pages there. manualsdir.com has it. here is how many work (Dismantlment) all hatches off, and what is under hatch removed DDR, etc. look for screws hidden there. remove those. dvd drive out , and screws tricky hidden there or on upper lip there. yah. hdd out, see screws below> all screws on the bottom out. ALL> remove keyboard, if not all in one with plastic top, remove it then find screws there, (on some LP the heatsink/fan and pipe assembly must be removed now. (my HP this is fact) try to know that all a215 are not the same, so manuals harder to find due to that one fact alone, (not user manuals real service man's) the if stuck still the toshiba has those dang snaps. http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-a205/laptop-disassembly-1.htm I use cell phone plastic pry bars, looks like tiny plastic crow bar if you read the above it shows using guitar pick. step 14 those are a pain, for sure if you break the silly plastic locks. 23steps, there, 205. now the video, we always look here first, it is free. UTUBE. my guess you stuck at time stamp 3:00 guitar pick. laptops take great skills to service, no 2 models are the same is reason 1, and then ribbon connector broken, there are 3 ribbon locks. push pull wedge lock hinge lock. each type must be addressed correctly or damage is DOA end.

ok like all old laptops the CCFL lamps are now dead. all are. if used every day and 20,000 hours hit, bam DEAD. the CCFL are dead, all LT made before 2010 had CCLF back lamps.(and monitors) you hear the fan blow?, and no text on screen? (2 things) your 14year old (today) the screen CCFL lamps are bad. do this, 5 minute work. ok> and tell what fan does.????? http://www.pcdied.com/monitors_and_screens/flash-light-trick.html

old post JAN 18' , let me guess the shop wants 5 times value just to tell you X is bad. right? GeekSxxxd.? sure it was ok before , all things are really. but not now, but sure you did not buy it broken, that is good clue. first off , all laptops made have this huge battery and all this old are bad and worse shorted so get that battery out first. simple , no? remove it and run on AC power pack for eternity if you want to. I guess this is black screen of Deathh(sic) post. 100% never ever shows text, even doing the long reset with power. the next step on any LT, is to carbon14 date it, (build year) it is very old, 14 years old today. with old old Pentium M processor. all PCs this old have CCLF backlamps. that all died years go. in fact most died, at about 2010 year, ok?> the lamps go dead after only 20,000 hours of use. we throw these PCs away. for 2 reasons. 1: huge labor and cost to replace those lamps. 2: and PC has no street value, at all. $23 used on ebay busted. here is the magic flash light test for all old laptops works on deal lamps from year 2000 to 2010 2010 is LED back lamp born day. power on, the fan must spin, heard and MUST Blow are or the LT will overheat. the use the flashlight like this. to see if you see data there. if yes,bingo, CCLF failure. http://www.pcdied.com/monitors_and_screens/flash-light-trick.html

You probably need to open up a paper clip, put a hook on one end and try to pull the CD out while relieving some of the pressure on the drawer.

I have had even new sticks of ram not work in one machine, but are fine in another. Put the old ram back in and make sure everything works like you want, then try the ram again. If they are still giving problems, unfortunately it looks like even more ram is your solution.

hi K Smith. Here are some troubleshooting steps that may help in identifying the issue. - Start by doing a hard reboot, remove the battery and unplug its AC adapter then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds and see if it will boot up. - If these will not work remove the HDD then boot it up and see if it will still get stuck at the BIOS screen or not. - If it doesn't get stuck on BIOS and boot onto a black screen that means it's the HDD that is faulty. - If it does get stuck on BIOS even without the HDD that means it's the motherboard that is faulty. - Last trick you can try is to remove the CMOS battery for a second then put it back in. - If all these will not work you'll need to send it for a repair if its still under the factory warranty or. 1) Unplug the power cord --> Remove the battery --> Hold the power button for 60 seconds --> Connect the power supply then try to switch ON the laptop and later put the battery back into the laptop. 2) If the problem still exists then get it checked out. or read up some more at this link.
