From: jim.mauro@gmail.com on 18 Dec 2005 11:11
I've googled high-and-low, and even bought a CD off Ebay that contains
tons
of Toshiba laptop FRU and Service manuals.

A service and/or FRU manual for the A45-S121 seems to be a very elusive
beast. I have two of these laptops (wife and son each have one), and
I'd
like to be able to disassemble it - at least get most of the cover off.
My previous experience in doing such things with laptops is they can be
tricky, and it makes life a lot easier with a service manual.

I'm not looking for a free-bee - I'll pay for the bloody
thing, but iced cupcakes to anyone who can point me to a service manual
for the a45-s121.

Thanks,
/jim

Thanks very much Tony - I'm having a look.
What's interesting is this follows with my experience in
searching for an A45 manual - notice the A45 is
conspicuously absent from the list. This has been the case
with pretty much every hit I get on google when searching
for toshiba satellite service manuals. You can find pretty much
every model, EXCEPT the A45.

Is it a conspiracy? :^)

Thanks,

My Toughbook has one last screw under the exact center of the label. The
rest are obvious. None of those goofy spring clips that break on other
laptops.

That does not mean yours is the same, though.
