Re: DISMANTLING TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO 420 CDT

Ok, if you insist, contact me by E-Mail, I have the service manual for it, I can send it to you if you can take a 4MB attachment.

A warning, again, this model is a bitch to work on AND it's just not worth it. I serviced them for years, and I do still have a mint 430CDT here, but even for a beater obsolete laptop, the 300 and 4000 series are SO much better and you can get them SO cheap ......

Have you removed the keyboard and any screws that are hidden
underneath it? I haven't touched one of those in years but I seem to
remember there are one or more screws under there to be removed to
separate the case.

Good luck,

Yes I removedthe keyboard and all visible screws. there seems to be something hidden
adjuscent to the power swich.
