The power supply cord for Dell XPS laptop has the following connector sizes: the internal diameter 5 mm, the external diameter 7.4 mm and also a central pin inside. The features presents earlier are common to most Dell laptops. Let’s see what is to be done when a power cord doesn’t function correctly. In other words, the power cord is plugged into a power outlet, but the laptop isn’t charging.

First, check out the LED status. If the LED is not lit, but the power cord is firmly attached in the power adapter and the wall outlet too, probably the adapter is not functioning well. But it can also be an outlet problem or a power cord problem. If the LED button on your laptop blinks when you try to charge the laptop, the failure is delivered by the power cord or by the connector inside the laptop. If the issue comes from the second variant, it is rather difficult for you to solve it. In this case, you should go to a trained technician

A power cord can look good on the outside, but be broken in the inside. The power cord has in the interior a shielded coaxial cable with inner conductors. Most power cords include a ferrite which prevents the interferences generated by the laptop. If you can figure that the problem is one of the connectors, buy new ones and replace the old ones.

The connectors that you buy must have the same sizes as the connectors that you replace. When ordering connectors at a certain store, you have to go there with your laptop, so that the store’s technicians can know exactly what diameter should have the connectors. The inside as well as the outside diameter should match perfectly the old connectors.

Every time you have a problem with your laptop and you can tell the problem comes from the power adapter, power cord or from the connectors inside your laptop, try to start with the power cord. It is the easiest method and you don’t need to have so many technician’s skills. But if you have a Dell laptop, you better know that a Dell laptop power cord is a robust one and not made for failure.

A tutorial on how to repair an overheating Toshiba laptop. Warning: we cannot in any way be held liable for any damages you may cause to your laptop by following this tutorial, which was made for information purposes only. You are responsible for what you do.

In this two-part tutorial, we’ll see how to disassemble a laptop to fix the problem of a laptop that overheats.

Caution, however, the example is done with a Dell Inspiron laptop, and every laptop has its own architecture. You will certainly not find the items exactly the same place, but I hope this article will help you locate them anyway if you’re ready to disassemble your laptop. Regarding the laptop in this example, it gets very hot and it makes the PC switches itself off sometimes, probably because it reached the maximum level of security and temperature is warming up (its ’off). We will check the interior, put some thermal paste on the processor, dusting it off, and raise the laptop to allow air to be expelled from the pc correctly.

Explanations
1. Remove and open the laptop

The first thing to do would be to remove the battery from the laptop to remove any power on the one hand, and because it takes in most other cases. To do this, most of the time you have to push a small locket (white rectangle on the image below) and pull the battery at the same time to release it from its location.

Then he will need to unscrew all the screws you see under the laptop one by one (help yourself with a magnetized screwdriver or another magnet to get them out, to keep your nerves for the rest .

Then unscrew and remove the cover containing strips RAM.

Then you should see another door containing the hard drive of the laptop. On most PCs, it is like below the trap of memory (see also the tutorial to change a memory card on laptop), but it is on the side (front). There is a trap to unscrew to get this. Here we see a “tab” which is used to pull the drive out of the slot. Remove the hard disk.

Then if you have removed all the screws from the bottom, you should almost be able to separate the top and bottom of the hull of the laptop.
I say “almost” because for me it is not yet the case.

Note: do not force any to separate the two parties because there are cables to unplug and tablecloths inside. If you force you will break them.

In fact I still have screws on the back of the pc. These are the two screws that secure the screen as we shall see later. It must also remove.

If you look on the back of the PC, there are even other parts to remove. The output VGA (monitor) is attached by two screws at each end specific, we’ll have to unscrew them with a wrench.

Once this is done, return the pc screen and fold completely flat to put it. Then he’ll have to disengage the two “bridges” that serve plastic cover above the visor fittings. Go gently with a screwdriver for example, and it should be removed.
In this example, they are connected with the cache of lights and power button, it will therefore have to unclip everything.

Finally, the cache is full.

Then there are still screws removed in the cache.

There is also a screw that holds the shell in the center of the metal plate under the keyboard (the keyboard that no longer hold, you can return it without problem).

And these are the lower and upper hulls will finally be able to separate. But separate them very carefully, looking inside your PC because you’ll need to unplug cables at the same time: the water and the keyboard cable from the screen include.

Owning a Toshiba is a compromise between low price and constantly repairing something. When you decide to buy a Toshiba, you know you will have moments when you have to take it in shop, but if you want to save even more, you will repair it yourself.

When you want to disassemble a desktop, you just pull out the power cord and you whatever you want to do. Well, laptops are not that easy to handle. The compact design makes the laptop much more difficult to disassemble. So, when you want to change some component or you just want to clean the dust from the inside of the laptop you have to go through much more than if you would do the same thing to a desktop.

If you want to replace the laptop keyboard from your Toshiba you should know that it’s a task that requires some work. In the process you will have to follow six steps so you’ll get the best result.You will have to disconnect your laptop from all power supply. That means you will have to pull the power cord out and remove the battery as well. For removing the battery, locate release button on the bottom of the laptop.This button needs to be held in while the battery pack is slid free from the computer.

Remove all the screws from the bottom of the laptop. The number of screws depends on the model of the laptop. The general rule is one screw in every corner and one or two in the center. Now you have to slide the hard drive from the laptop; the hard drive will generally be located on the left or right side of the laptop (you will see a small symbol engraved into the laptop to denote its location).

Remove the two screws from the back of the computer that hold the screen’s hinges.Pull up gently on the screen until the two pegs that held the screen clear the holes in the laptop’s body. Make sure you do not pull too hard the wires that connect the laptop screen so they remain attached. By doing this, you release the screen from the body of the laptop.

Expose the laptop components by separating the two plastic halves of the laptops external case. Lifting up on the keyboard pad and flipping it on its face, you will notice a stripe leading out from the keyboard into the laptop. To can remove the keyboard, you must unscrew the metal piece that covers the computer’s motherboard.Once you have removed the metal piece, you will have to disconnect the cable that unites the keyboard and the motherboard. To do that you have to follow the strip cable to the motherboard connection; you will find a plastic tab that ensures the connection- pull it to remove the connector. Now you just remove the keyboard.Get the new keyboard ready to install.

Insert the end of the film-like connector into the plastic tab you released earlier. Now all you have to do is follow the steps backwards and reassemble the laptop.This is the basic procedure for replacing the keyboard on a Toshiba laptop. If you follow the steps as we said, you can’t do it wrong. The key is to be very careful to not disconnect any wires inside the laptop or do any damage to the components, because the room inside a laptop is very tight.

Low cost laptop owners deal with problems on their laptops all the time. One of the ideas of owning a product from a low cost brand is compromise between cost and durability. Another idea is to save money by doing all the repairs you can yourself. One of the most frequently asked questions by handy men on forums is “How to remove the bezel”.

First, you have to consider safety. Before doing any job on the hardware department, you have to unplug the power cord and remove the battery. Another thing is to be sure of what you should do for fixing the problem, because you might end up with more to reassemble than you should, and even cause some problems in areas you didn’t have to reach. Removing the Toshiba laptop bezel is useful only for repairs on the upper side of the laptop, the LCD area. Here, you can reach for repair the backlight, the inverter and the LCD screen. When it comes to tools, you need just a Philips screwdriver and a flathead screwdriver.

On Toshiba laptops, you will usually find four screws that secure the bezel. To reach the two on the top, remove the rubber bumpers that hide them. For the two bottom screws, you will have to remove the rectangular paste INS that hides them. After this, it shouldn’t be a problem unscrewing them, but be careful not to ruin the head, so use a screwdriver that matches.

Prying the plastic shell requires the flathead screwdriver and some force. You have to fit in the flathead when beginning to open the snap-together injection molding. Once you can see the snaps, you can act directly on them and it’s much easier.

The question now is if your problem is with the backlight or the inverter or the LCD. The first thing is to detach the backlight. Newer models of laptops don’t have a backlight because the new models of LCD don’t require one; it’s not a big deal, but an LCD  with no backlight can save you battery life. You need a small Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two small screws from the backlight.

If the problem with your Toshiba laptop is the backlight, you should proceed by changing it. It’s no big deal; you just have to see how the old one was installed and repeat that. If the problem is the LCD or the inverter, forget the backlight and let’s go further. Now, we will proceed by removing the LCD. Whatever the problem is, you can resolve it now.

Replace the LCD screen or the inverter and resemble the laptop. It shouldn’t be hard if you follow the steps backward. For an inexperienced person or if this is the first time inside that laptop, this is the key: remember what you did when you disassembled the laptop in the first place and do it backwards. If you do it right, you shouldn’t have pieces left except the tools you used and the replacing piece or pieces.

Doing an operation like Removing the Toshiba laptop bezel shouldn’t require too much effort. You should know that all basic procedures when repairing a laptop are simple once you get used to it. If the laptop you are repairing is your own laptop it’s much easier because you know the laptop very well after you look inside it a couple of times and it gets easier every time.
