SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Four types of messages are used in this manual to bring important information to your  
attention. Each of these messages will be italicized and identified as shown below.  
DANGER: “Danger” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in death or  
serious bodily injury if the safety instruction is not observed.  
WARNING: “Warning” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in bodily  
injury if the safety instruction is not observed.  
CAUTION: “Caution” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in property  
damage if the safety instruction is not observed.  
NOTE: “Note” contains general information that relates to your safe maintenance  
service.  
Improper repair of the computer may result in safety hazards. Toshiba requires service  
technicians and authorized dealers or service providers to ensure the following safety  
precautions are adhered to strictly.  
Be sure to fasten screws securely with the right screwdriver. If a screw is not fully  
fastened, it could come loose, creating a danger of a short circuit, which could cause  
overheating, smoke or fire.  
If you replace the battery pack or RTC battery, be sure to use only the same model  
battery or an equivalent battery recommended by Toshiba. Installation of the wrong  
battery can cause the battery to explode.

1 Hardware Overview  
NOTES  
1. The time required for normal charge is affected by the amount of power the system  
is consuming. Use of the fluorescent lamp and frequent disk access diverts power  
and lengthens the charge time.  
2. Using quick charge, the power supply microprocessor automatically stops the  
charge after eight hours regardless of the condition of the battery. Overcharging  
could cause the battery to explode.  
If any of the following occurs, the battery quick charge process stops.  
1. The battery becomes fully charged.  
2. The AC adaptor or battery is removed.  
3. The battery or output voltage is abnormal.  
4. The battery temperature is abnormal.

4 Replacement Procedures  
Safety Precautions  
Before you begin disassembly, read the following safety precautions and observe them  
carefully as you work.  
DANGER:  
1. Always use the lithium ion battery pack or backup battery that is authorized by  
Toshiba or compatible with the unit. Since other battery packs have different  
specifications, they may be incompatible with the unit, and may burst or explode.  
Heating or disassembling the battery pack could cause leakage of alkaline solution.  
Throwing the battery pack into a fire could cause the battery pack to explode.  
2. The power supply, FL inverter and other components carry high voltages. To avoid  
the risk of electric shock when you need to turn on the power of a partially  
disassembled computer to check its operation, be very careful not to touch  
connectors or components. Also, do not disassemble individual components in first-  
level maintenance.  
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock or other injury:  
1. Always turn the power off and disconnect the AC adaptor from the power source.  
2. Remove any metal jewelry or accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, or rings.  
Batteries in the computer retain an electrical charge so there is danger of electrical  
shock even when the computer is disconnected from an AC power source.  
3. Never work with wet or damp hands.  
4. The computer contains sharp edges and corners: be careful not to injure yourself.  
5. Make sure that all replacement components meet the specifications for the computer  
and that all cables and connectors are securely fastened.  
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the computer:  
1. When you change a component, be sure the replacement component meets the required  
specifications. Never use foreign parts.  
2. Metal objects such as screws or paper clips which fall into the unit can cause a short-  
circuit, fire, or other internal damage.  
3. When assembling the computer, make sure you use the correct screws to secure the  
various pieces in place. Screw sizes are listed in their corresponding figure. Make sure  
all screws are securely fastened. Loose screws can cause short circuits, resulting in  
heat, smoke, or fire.  
4. Before removing an FRU or other component, make sure all cables to the component  
have been disconnected.  
5. If you use AC power, be sure to use the cable that came with the computer or one  
recommended by Toshiba.

4 Replacement Procedures  
4.1 General  
Before You Begin  
Look over the procedures in this section before you begin disassembling the computer.  
Familiarize yourself with the disassembly and reassembly steps. Begin each procedure by  
removing the AC adaptor and the battery pack as instructed in section 4.2.  
1. Do not disassemble the computer unless it is operating abnormally.  
2. Use only the correct and approved tools.  
3. Make sure the working environment is free from the following elements whether you  
are using or storing the computer.  
Dust and contaminates  
Static electricity  
Extreme heat, cold and humidity  
4. Make sure the FRU you are replacing is causing the abnormal operation by  
performing the necessary troubleshooting and diagnostics tests described in chapters  
2 and 3 of this manual.  
5. Do not perform any operations that are not necessary and use only the described  
procedures for disassembling and installing FRUs in the computer.  
6. After removing parts from the computer, place them in a safe place away from the  
computer so they will not be damaged and will not interfere with your work.  
7. You will remove and replace many screws when you disassemble the computer.  
When you remove screws, make sure they are placed in a safe place and identified  
with the correct parts.  
8. When assembling the computer make sure you use the correct screws to secure the  
various pieces. Screw sizes are listed in their corresponding figures.  
9. The computer contains many sharp edges and corners, so be careful not to injure  
yourself.  
10. After you have replaced an FRU, make sure the computer is functioning properly by  
performing the appropriate test on the FRU you have fixed or replaced.

4.1 General  
4 Replacement Procedures  
Disassembly Procedures  
The computer has two basic types of cable connectors:  
Pressure Plate Connectors  
Standard Pin Connectors  
To disconnect a Pressure Plate connector, lift up the tabs on either side of the connector’s  
plastic pressure plate and slide the cable out of the connector. To connect the cable to a  
Pressure Plate connector, make sure the pressure plate is fully lifted and slide the cable into  
the connector. Secure the cable in place by pushing the sides of the pressure plate down so  
the plate is flush with the sides of the connector. Gently pull on the cable to make sure the  
cable is secure. If you pull out the connector, connect it again making sure the connector’s  
pressure plate is fully lifted when you insert the cable.  
Standard pin connectors are used with all other cables. These connectors can be connected  
and disconnected by simply pulling them apart or pushing them together.  
Assembly Procedures  
After you have disassembled the computer and fixed or repaired the problem that was  
causing the computer to operate abnormally, you will need to reassemble the computer.  
Install all the removed FRUs following the steps described in the corresponding sections in  
this chapter.  
While assembling the computer, remember the following general points:  
Take your time, making sure you follow the instructions closely. Most problems  
arise when you get in a hurry assembling the computer.  
Make sure all cables and connectors are securely fastened.  
Before securing the FRU or other parts, make sure that no cables will be pinched  
by screws or the FRU.  
Check that all latches are closed securely.  
Make sure all the correct screws are used to secure all FRUs. Using the wrong  
screw can either damage the threads on the screw or the head of the screw and  
may prevent proper seating of an FRU.  
After installing an FRU in the computer, confirm that the FRU and the computer are  
functioning properly.

Appendix A  
Appendix A Handling the LCD Module  
Precautions for handling the LCD module  
The LCD module can be easily damaged during assembly or disassembly. Therefore, please  
observe the following precautions when handling it:  
1. When installing the LCD module in the LCD cover, be sure to seat it so that it is  
properly aligned and maximum visibility of the display is maintained.  
2. Be careful to align the holes at the four corners of the LCD module with the  
corresponding holes in the LCD cover before securing the module with screws.  
Do not force the module into place, because stress can affect its performance.  
Note: The panel’s polarized surface is easily scarred, so handle it carefully.

3. If the panel’s surface gets dirty, wipe it with cotton or a soft cloth. If it is still dirty,  
try breathing on the surface to create a light condensate and wipe it again.  
If the surface is very dirty, we recommend a CRT cleaning agent. Apply the agent to  
a cloth and then wipe the panel’s surface. Do not apply cleanser directly to the panel.

4. If water or other liquid is left on the panel’s surface for a long period, it can change  
the screen’s tint or stain it. Be sure to quickly wipe off any liquid.

5. Glass is used in the panel, so be careful not to drop it or let it strike a hard object,  
which could cause breakage or cracks.  
6. CMOS-LSI circuits are used in the module, so guard against damage from  
electrostatic discharge. Be sure to wear a wrist or ankle ground when handling the  
module.

7. Do not expose the module to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet rays for long  
periods.  
8. Do not store the module at temperatures below specifications. Cold can cause the  
liquid crystals to freeze, lose their elasticity or otherwise suffer damage.  
9. Do not disassemble the LCD module. Disassembly can cause malfunctions.

10. If you transport the module, do not use packing material that contains epoxy resin  
(amine) or silicon glue (alcohol or oxime). These materials can release gas that can  
damage the panel’s polarization.
