TOSHIBA L505D, L505 laptop take apart video, disassemble, how to open, video disassembly

Hi!
No music. No talking. Just work.
If you are taking your TOSHIBA L505 laptop apart be careful and wear an anti-static wrist band or use other anti-static device. If you need to change a LCD usually you don't have to take screen out of a laptop. You can leave it on a laptop and watch the last part of the video where I am taking LCD apart. If you need to change a keyboard, you don't have to take all bottom screws out. There are usually some marks, like a keyboard picture, on a case bottom. If you need to put a laptop back to work be aware of screws. They are different and you better remember or mark them somehow to insure that you will put them back in to a right place.
Some laptops I take apart first time, so don't be serious on my time and performance.
If something got broken - ooops, it's your fault.
Believe me, some parts in your laptop are already broken, you just don't see that.
So, just watch this video and fix your laptop.
Have fun and good luck!!

I have the regular L505 (the more media center focused black model) and this video is still very effective even today. Helps save another computer from the landfill.

[@regazzz]

Thank you!

[@herns18]

Very well done! I like how right to the point and detailing your video is. You even took the LCD apart, and that's exactly what I'm working on. Thank you!

[@MartellThaCool]

I'm taking this to the repair shop to take out the old parts and replaced them with new parts and a new fan with upgrading HDD to SSD and etc. I love this computer and I ain't upgrading to windows 10. Good breakdown video here

[@regazzz]

Charger ports on all L300 305 205 215 and many other and not only L series are very weak... either case bottom is broken, where dc seated or dc jack is broken... Glad you found my video :) Have a good luck!

[@Skylaire]

Thank you... you make it look so easy... I am a freelance writer and my laptop is my life... soon to replace the cmos battery... !!!

[@regazzz]

Skylaire Alfvegren I hope this video was a help for you!

[@Skylaire]

It was - thanks - but ultimately the culprit was a defective cmos battery! And a blanket of cat hair!

[@jayplank9552]

Regazzz, video's are Top Notch keep them coming Sir...

[@Area51Phantom19]

wow lol its a good thing i found the video....I tried doing this to the exact same laptop as here but stop cause i didnt want it to break. stupid toshiba laptops charger port sucks....thanks for posting this video this will really help me open my laptop

[@pvtseduction]

I have this same laptop haven't used it in 2 years because the usb and sound went out. finally i found a solution for it and it requires me to open it up and re solder a loose component. besides the soldering iron what kind of tools do you suggest i get? all the ones i have are to big

[@regazzz]

You made my day! :) Btw, if you will look around on KZbin, you will find people taking apart laptops sitting on the carpet floor, on the bed, wobble camera left/right or some videos with low res and bad camera position, that people just breaking laptops by dropping on the floor and other nonsense. They also not using at least some antistatic device like my one (that is pretty useless, but that's why I am using something else) Anyway, thanks for comment!

[@regazzz]

Some people like it, some people don't. I guess this video is still better than some videos with blurry image, weird/shaking camera position and some wrong music playing in it?

[@regazzz]

Hi! everything can have a different reasons. Toshiba is not bad to find a drivers, I guess it is possible on a Toshiba main site... Sound can be also a driver problem.

[@willmon19]

Good have you upgraded a processor on one of these before? I have a L505D GS-6000 and I plan to upgrade it to a AMD Phenom N970 Going to open it up tomorrow and clean it out and make sure I can take out the processor first before I go buying this and finding it is soldered. Anyways if you have updated to a quad core let me know thanks.

[@rebekie31]

Your technique is absolutely brutal, how many screws do you strip, not remember where they go and how many pieces do you break?

[@joshnovotny90]

Ok, need more help. I need to reattach the white circuit for the trackpad/buttons, but it won't go back in. Any advice?

[@willmon19]

Does the processor come out of these laptops? Or are they soldered onto the board? I am wanting to upgrade my processor and I think it would help out to know before I tried to take mine apart to find out and mess it up.

[@joshnovotny90]

I'm going to be taking it apart to dust out around the CPU since the fan starts making a lot of noise when its just browsing the web. What's the minimum amount of screws I need to remove? Thanks.

[@regazzz]

slide out a locking mechanism little bit out of the socket. stick cable in, slide lock back. Hope you did not broke this while taking out. Good luck!

[@regazzz]

Yes, they should come out.

[@earthworm85]

Just this past weekend my keyboard failed. The screen turns on and at the beginning on the screen it says Press enter to reboot, press down and enter to start windows normally. I can't press down or any of the keys. Would you suggest I take the keyboard out and clean it? Buy a separate keyboard and mouse or just get a new laptop? My laptop was purchased back in 2009. I love it but just sucks the keyboard isn't responding to anything. Your input would be greatly appreciated 👍🙏🙂💻

[@regazzz]

Hi, depend on what USB is not working, maybe it just got unplugged. Same with sound, but it can also be a driver. I am sure you can open this laptop with one regular screwdriver and a knife, ok, knife is a little hard, better something strong but thin plastic, thinner and stronger than credit card :) And some 2 fine flat screwdrivers to unplug some cables... Also an anti-static device, better one that you can connect to an outlet. Have a good luck!

[@OfficialMikePerry]

have fun putting that back together :D

[@Pdrum2]

Exactly my thoughts, have fun trying to figure out which screws go where.

[@Parth9PTL]

hey buddy If I want to clean the fan do I just remove the keyboard and clean it ?

[@regazzz]

Ok, does LCD work now?

[@willmon19]

Seems simple enough except all those screws just annoys the heck out of me. Anyways this is a great help as I have a L505 D GS 6000 and they look almost identical. And my DC Jack probably has a loose wire than needs soldered back on as I can plug it in and it doesn't work unless I rotate the cord a little and then it gets power. And to clean it that is simple enough just use a can of air duster or a air compressor and blow out any and all dust you see. The best place to use it is the fans as they are what helps heat get pushed out of the system. Also a usb fan stand helps as it gives extra air flow for it to push out hot air.

[@regazzz]

Hello,you may try it, I hope it helped!

[@hotshottexas]

I bought a Toshiba Satelite L505 from a pawn shop it was locked reformat it too windows 10 was working fine woke up in the morning it wouldn't trun on it has a full charged battery dose it need a new motherboard that is my question oh I couldn't find any rest button on the laptop either

[@regazzz]

You can do pretty much the same what I do, just do not remove LCD because it can stay. Do not mix all screws. Take a A4 paper and put all screws where they are on a case bottom, and another A4 paper for palmrest, another one for motherboard. Get a thermal paste. Then put them back. Use anti-static bracelet or some other device. Be careful! Have a good luck!

[@regazzz]

Some USB are on motherboard, another two are on cable so you can pretty easy change that are on cable...

[@005rhobin]

Hi. my toshiba L505D GS6000 has a problem. when I turn it on. no display. i did all the trouble shooting. and i think the problem is inside. what do you think the problem? thank you.

[@atancr]

HI guy, great work, your video I help me, thanks

[@regazzz]

you are welcome!

[@scottking912]

K, not sure if this pertains to this forum but I'll tell ya whats up with my L505D-S5965. When I turn it on and it starts booting, i get the black screen telling me it wasnt shut down properly and to choose how i want it to start. Well, the keyboard doesnt work at this point, so I cant choose anything besides the one thats highlighted. THEN, it goes to the blue screen of death saying the BIOS is not fully ACPI compliant. I tried the battery trick, no go.

[@chowda633]

What model skill drill is that? Would like to get one as well way faster than doing it by hand lol

[@regazzz]

If you look in a very dark room at your monitor do you see some very dimmed picture? Do you see picture on the external monitor?

[@regazzz]

It depend how dirty it is. You will be able to access some part of it.

[@regazzz]

First of all you have to make sure that you did not see anything on a screen in a dark. Picture is maybe very dimmed barely visible. If not than 2nd step is to check if everything is connected. Video cable connected to a motherboard and to LCD, better put some tape where it is connecting to LCD. make sure it is also connected to Inverter.If no luck than connect to a external monitor. See picture, than either LCD is bad or inverter. test inverter first (it is cheap). Good ok. No, need new LCD

[@mets12100]

would you know how to fix my toshiba problem? Everytime i turn it on, it goes to the black screen that says start repair launch or start windows normally, i click start windows normally and it says starting windows, then goes to a blue screen that says an error has occurred then goes back to the black screen that says start windows normally or start repair launch, i click start repair launch and end up waiting an hour for it to say no problems detected, and does the same thing again. help?

[@ChaChaCakes]

Thanks this was very helpful!

[@scottking912]

I took out the processors, hard drive and disc drive just messing around (not cpu savvy), nothing worked, same result. I gave it a rest. So, TODAY I turn it on and the fkr starts right up. I reset it using the " hold '0' while turning it on process. Worked great. I set the whole thing up to my preferences and all that. I turned it off. A few hours later I turned it on and it went RIGHT BACK TO THE BLUE SCREEN. How in the hell did that happen?

[@YUGAMISEKAI]

Is it possible to open the sd card slot?

[@chowda633]

Outstanding!

[@aledc777]

Thanks for sharing !!! Gracias por compartir !

[@regazzz]

Alejandro De Castro You are very welcome!!!

[@centdi8540]

Can i replace the LCD with the LCD of Powerbook G4? The LCD im using has crack and has dead pixels that changing its location in LCD. I'm planning to buy Controller Board but i dont want to spend or go to store(don't have time or enough money).

[@centdi8540]

cool video, anyway

[@regazzz]

It will be better for sure...

[@regazzz]

Very good!!!

[@vanguardstar]

Sorry for my lack of computer knowledge here, but quick question. At 6:37 you remove the black wire and then the white one. What are they connected to? How do I reconnect them? Thanks!

[@hahdwerk596]

looks like WiFi antenna leads

[@ShutPop]

hey i took it apart and put it back together and the keyboard works but the mouse and right and left click dont. Did I forget to plug something in or what? (BTW Great video!)

[@regazzz]

ShutPop Hello, sorry for late response! I hope you already fixed everything and didn't wait on my response. If touchpad and left right click don't work it looks like cable not plugged to me. You may need to check it.

[@OvExX]

this was very useful. tyvm

[@joshnovotny90]

Cool. Thanks for the quick response!

[@regazzz]

I didn't, but you will be able to remove cpu.

[@regazzz]

That's a great news!

[@johncox3411]

Great Video Regazz, I have to replace a DC jack on one of these!! What size screwdriver bit did you use. Thanx again.

[@regazzz]

It was a regular size screw driver. Maybe some screws were small but not that small that regular screwdriver can't handle.

[@johncox3411]

I have been working on alot of laptops lately and just looking for the best tools for the job. If you have any other suggestions on tools please post them. Thanx again.

[@regazzz]

Some basic screwdriver set from craftsman or Stanley will work

[@regazzz]

there is only 3 things that can make a sound - fan (maybe it was bend a little an making noise now - hard drive, but sound will be more clicking - from speakers, but you probably recognize it

[@joeypadgett7895]

You must be wearin one of them new "wireless" ESD straps...I hear they're all the rage

[@juanvb2499]

Can we change the processor? Just I want to know

[@regazzz]

Cpu is removable.

[@juanvb2499]

@@regazzz but in a toshiba Satellite L505

[@juanvb2499]

And thanks for the answer 👍🏻

[@regazzz]

@Juan vb L505 or L505D doesn't matter, you should be able replace cpu in it. Obviously not any cpu will fit. You would need to check the motherboard and figure out the technicalities.

[@alfiemorale5901]

hey mate, i'm having trouble with a different model but within the same series. Maybe someone can help? See i have a Toshiba Satellite L505D-GS6000 and i've had this for about 3 to 4 years now and this machine is stressing me out. The sound goes away and is hard to make it come back, The usb drivers are gone. The web cam doesnt pop any more. so if any one cna help please reply

[@regazzz]

THANK YOU!

[@WarrenStott]

LOL, well that is how to get inside a L505D but the grap the halves and rip the laptop apart is not the first choice in separating the shell. Sliding a credit card or guitar pick along between the top and bottom halves will separate the clips without breaking them as happened here.

[@regazzz]

Well, you are right. I am using cc lately.

[@MyName-kp8vy]

At four minutes and fifty seven seconds you mashed some buttons.Why did you do that for?Does it hold something down?

[@regazzz]

+My Name keyboard buttons, I doubt it is needed.

[@Ssomko]

I have a question... I have the same laptop but mine has RAMS with a Samsung label. Is that normal? Please help... Very desperate...

[@robkam643400]

+Kevin Meme RAM modules come from many different brands, this is totally normal. You can find out what RAM you need in the easiest possible way at www.crucial.com. - (Another IT guy)

[@MyName-kp8vy]

Is something wrong with the sound.I couldn't hear you.It may be on my end though.Sometimes my phone acts really wacky wacky.

[@xhumaninterfacex]

best tech ever lol

[@MrAmrmms]

great thank for you

[@scottking912]

I know the battery is shot because the previous owner kept it plugged in 24/7 and doesnt keep a charge. IM SEARCHING FOR A RESOLUTION. If you could help me with ANY info, I'd GREATLY appreciate it. Sorry for the extra long post.

[@qwertyuiopzxcvbnm090]

the blue part that connects the laptop to a Moniter screen has loosened of my laptop so it doest work anyway i can fix this from home without going to a repair guy.

[@perhaps204]

Hi can you upgrade the cpu and add a gpu? Thanks!

[@EnryCab]

¡¡Thank you!!

[@tericaguilar9161]

It help a lot now the problem is that I can put the parts back :(

[@regazzz]

+Teric Aguilar I have a channel where I upload videos playing it backwards. I can upload a backwards video for this laptop if you need it.

[@YUGAMISEKAI]

regazzz Please doooo

[@ZSEJD]

Are you trying to break some land speed record here? wow.. and where is your antistatic MAT and cable from your wrist strap? the wrist strap isn't much good if its not hooked to anything. That laptop is either bad, or you don't plan on having it work when put it together.

[@Blastbgnu]

Can you slam the hard drive down a little harder next time? sheesh
