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.
The manual is divided into the following parts:

Chapter 1
Hardware Overview describes the Satellite A300 system unit and each
FRU.
Chapter 2
Troubleshooting Procedures explains how to diagnose and resolve

FRU problems.
Chapter 3

Overview
This chapter describes the procedure for removing and replacing the field replaceable units
(FRUs) in the PC. It may not be necessary to remove all the FRUs in order to replace one.
The chart below provides a guide as to which other FRUs must be removed before a
particular FRU can be removed. The numbers in the chart indicate the relevant section
numbers in this manual.
In all cases when removing an FRU, the battery pack must also be removed. When repairing
an FRU that is the potential cause of a computer fault, use the chart to determine the order in
which FRUs need to be removed.
The tilt stand, if it is installed, can be removed without any other FRUs removed.

Safety Precautions
Please read the following safety instructions before disassembling the computer and always
follow the instructions while working on the computer.
DANGER:
1. In the case of the battery, always use authentic parts or equivalent parts
approved by Toshiba. Other batteries may have different specifications
that are incompatible with the computer and may result in fire or
explosion.
Due to the risk of alkali fluid leaks, never attempt to heat or disassemble
the battery. Similarly, due to the risk of explosion, never expose the
battery to flame.
2. Some parts including the power supply and FL inverter generate high
voltages. If you need to turn on the power while disassembling the
computer, do not touch any connectors or other components due to the
risk of electric shock. Also, do not disassemble individual parts when
performing routine maintenance.
WARNING: 1. To prevent electric shock, turn off the power unplug the AC adapter from
the power source.
2. As the battery installed to the computer is typically already charged, the
risk of electric shock remains even when the AC adapter is unplugged
from the socket. To prevent electric shock, always take off any metal
jewelry or accessories such as necklaces, bracelets or rings before
working on the computer. Never work with wet or moist hands.
3. Take care not to injury yourself on any edges or corners.
CAUTION:
1. Confirm that replacement parts have compatible specifications before

replacing on the computer. Never use incorrect parts as these may cause
faults on the computer.
2. To prevent internal damage such as short circuits or burning, do not
allow any screws, paper clips, or other metal objects to fall into the
computer. When removing screws, always replace with the same size
screw. Ensure that all screws are fully tightened. Loose screws may
result in short circuits leading to overheating, smoke or flame.
3. To prevent electric shock, check that you have disconnected all cables
from a part before removing the part.
4. When connecting to the AC power supply, use only an AC adapter and
cable approved by Toshiba.
5. To prevent electric shock, ensure that all replacement parts are
compatible with the computer and that all cables and connectors are
securely connected.
Satellite A300 Maintenance Manual(960-Q08) 4-2
Before You Begin
Take note of the following points before starting work. Always remove the AC adapter and
battery pack before commencing any of the procedures. The procedure for removing the
battery pack is described in section 4.2.1 Battery Pack.
1. Do not disassemble the computer unless it is operating abnormally.
2. Use the designated tools.
3. Ensure that the environment for working on and storing parts does not contain any of
the following.
Dust or dirt
Static electricity
Extremely hot, cold or humid conditions
4. Perform the diagnostic tests described in Chapter 2 to determine which FRU is the
cause of the fault.
5. Do not perform any unnecessary work. Always work in accordance with the
disassembly and reassembly procedures in this manual.
6. Keep parts removed from the computer in a safe place away from the computer where
they will not be damaged or interfere with your work.
7. Disassembling requires the removal of a large number of screws. Keep removed
screws in a safe place such that you can determine which screws belong to which part.
8. When reassembling, ensure that you use the correct screws and fit parts in the correct
position. Screw sizes are noted in the text and figures.
9. As all parts have sharp edges and corners, take care not to cut yourself.
10. After replacing an FRU, check that the computer and replaced part operate correctly.
4-3
Disassembly Procedure
Three main types of cable connector are used.
Pressure plate connector
Spring connector
Normal pin connector
When disconnecting a pressure plate connector, lift up the tag on one side of the plastic
pressure plate on the connector and pull the cable out from the connector. When reconnecting
a cable to a pressure plate connector, lift up the pressure plate to a suitable height and insert
the cable into the connector. Press down on both sides of the pressure plate such that both
sides of the plate and connector are at the same height and that the cable is fixed in the
correct position. Pull the cable to ensure that it is securely connected. If the cable is
disconnected from the connector, reconnect it making sure that you lift the pressure plate
high enough to insert fully the cable.
For spring connectors, lifting up the stopper frees the cable and allows it to be pulled out. To
reconnect, hold the stopper in the up position and insert the cable, then lower the stopper to
secure the cable.
Normal pin connectors are used for all other cables. Simply pull out or push in these
connectors to disconnect or reconnect.
Pressure plate connector
Spring connector
Assembly Procedure
After the computer has been disassembled and the part that caused the fault has been repaired
or replaced, the computer must be reassembled.
Take note of the following general points when assembling the computer.
Take your time and follow the instructions carefully. Hurrying the assembly work
will only introduce new problems.
Check that all cables and connectors are securely connected.
Before fastening FRUs or other parts in place, ensure that no cables are caught on
screws or the FRU.
Check that all latches are securely closed.
Ensure that you have installed all FRUs correctly and do not have any screws left
over. Using an incorrect screw may damage the thread or screw head and result in
the FRU not being securely fastened in place.
After installing FRUs, check that the computer operates correctly.

Tools and Equipment
For your safety and the safety of the people around you, it is important that you use
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) equipment. Correctly utilizing of the equipment increases the
percentage of successful repairs and saves on the cost of damaged or destroyed parts. The
following equipment is required for disassembly and assembly.
One Philips screwdriver with type 0 bit (for THIN HEAD screws)
One Philips screwdriver with type 1 bit (for screws other than above)
Tweezers (for lifting screws)
ESD mats (lay on work table or floor)
An ESD wrist strap and heel grounder
Anti-static carpet or flooring
4-5
Screw Tightening Torque
Use the following torque when tightening screws.
CAUTION: Overtightening may damage screws or parts. Undertightening may allow
screws to loosen (and possibly fall out) causing a short circuit or other
damage.
NOTE: To tighten screws quickly and accurately, an electric screwdriver is

recommended.
M2 (2mm)
0.167 Nm (1.7 kgfcm)
M2.5 (2.5mm)
0.245 Nm(2.5 kgfcm)
M2.5 (2.5mm)
0.392 Nm(4.0 kgfcm) for Hinge support
M3.0 (3mm)
0.245 Nm (2.5 kgfcm)
NOTE: To prevent damage to THIN HEAD screws, press along the axis of the
screwdriver while turning the screw. This is because the contact area between
the screw and driver is less than for a pan head screw (standard pan-shaped
screw head).
Grip Color
Some screws have a colored grip area to help you determine the length of the screw.
Even numbered length screws: Brown
Odd numbered length screws: White
Special length screw: Blue
G r ip a r e a
Special length screw means screws whose length is indicated in an integral number to the
first decimal places such as 2.5 mm, 2.8 mm and so on.

Appendix A Handling the LCD Module

Precautions for handling the LCD module
The LCD module can be easily damaged during assembly or disassembly. Observe the
following precautions when handling the LCD module:
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.
Also, the panels polarized surface is easily scarred, so be careful when handling it.
A-1
3. If the panels 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 panels surface. Do not apply cleanser directly to the panel.
4. If water or other liquid is left on the panels surface for a long period, it can change
the screens tint or stain it. Be sure to quickly wipe off any liquid.
A-2
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.
A-3
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.
A-4
10. If you transport the module, do not use packing material that contains epoxy resin
(amine) or silicon glue (alcohol or oxide). These materials can release gas that can
damage the panels polarization.
