http://www.tim.id.au/blog/tims-laptop-service-manuals/#toc-toshibaScroll down to the second Satellite heading. The one that begins with Satellite A10.
Drop down to the third line, and scroll across. Left-click on M60.
This is a PDF file. It may take up to 30 seconds before the first page comes up.
It may also take additional time for the file to fully download.
In the Bookmarks menu to the left, click on - Appendix F Series Screw Torque List
Gives you the torque specs for the screws, but also names the size, number of screws, and where they go.
You can also go step by step in disassembling through the manual, and record what screws, and where they go.
(Starting on Page 104. {Using the page number box at the top header of the PDF file)
[ Use a multi-compartment container for the various screws you remove.
Label each compartment for the area the screw/s come out of.
If a multi-compartment container is not available, a clean egg carton can be used as a substitute.
Label each egg holder ]
Pictorial guide,
http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba_Satellite_M65/take_apart_laptop_1.htmThe main thing to remember is to follow Anti-Static Precautions!
I suggest you use an ESD wrist strap, and have it's alligator clip connected to a good ground source.
(I use an empty desktop computer case, and connect to the metal frame when working on laptops)
An ESD wrist strap averages around $3 to $5.
From a quick search just now I see a lot of listings on Ebay for a motherboard. (Toshiba Satellite M60 series)
NOT advertising for Ebay.
Better look at the ID number on the board, and buy the same board.
This way the BIOS program, and motherboard chipset will be the same.
[When Windows is installed on a computer, it assigns hash values to major hardware components in the computer.
Processor, Motherboard, (Motherboard chipset, BIOS program, and version, to be more specific), graphics 'engine' (GPU), and harddrive, for a few examples.
Change any two of these components, and Windows will want to be reactivated.
(Not registered, Activated)
Changing a motherboard changes two components.
Motherboard chipset, (Two I.C.'s actually), and BIOS program.
Use the same motherboard intended, and Windows won't throw up a flag ]
