How to replace broken monitor on Satellite M40X-251?

Hi guys !
This laptop fell from a desk and the monitor is completely messed up. Nothing else seems to have been damaged and it still works fine on an external monitor. I'm looking for a replacement monitor and instructions on how to replace it.
How much would a Toshiba 15.4'' widescreen TFT 1200*800 monitor cost and where could I get it?
I can't seem to find a manual explaining how to dismantle a Toshiba M40X laptop in order to replace the monitor. Could someone give me a link to such service manual or guide me through the process?
Thx in advance !

Found these instructions, I believe they would work for a M40X but if anyone can confirm :
http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaM35X/Satellite-M35X-display-1.htm
And the resolution is 1280*800 not 1200*800, little mistake.

  • Satellite Z830 - how to replace broken Screen?

    A careless family member has succeeded in cracking the screen of a fairly new Toshiba z830. It's broken quite badly, so I doubt it will be reparable.
    I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on the best way to go about getting a replacement, bonus points for any information in the Melbourne area.
    Thank you

    I'd rather not pay the $459 or 459 or whatever to get the screen fixed by Toshiba. I've had 20 laptops before, I never cracked a screen like this so easily. I didn't drop the laptop nor bump it nor squeeze it, I just transported it in my hand baggage on the airplane as I always do with many previous laptops, the Z830 screen is too fragile. I really like the screen, I like its matte finish, I like the thin and light magnesium form factor of the laptop, and swobbly screen does not bother me, except the design is just much too fragile, the glass surface of the LCD is not protected as it must be. I'm the one who video-blogged this interview with a Toshiba representative about that nice design afterall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Cq07Ee89o
    Since I don't want to pay the $500 repair fee, and since I guess Toshiba never replaces a cracked screen under warranty? I need to know if it'll work if I buy this screen: http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/toshiba/PORTEGE~Z830-S8302/ and I need to know exactly what screw driver I need and if there is a YouTube video and/or tutorial with detailed images and explanations so that I can hopefully safely make the screen replacement myself. And thus so that I can do it for about $100 myself instead of paying Toshiba $500 to make it.
    I guess it'd be best if Toshiba actually sold that screen and the necessary screw driver to DIY change a broken screen (loose warranty is ok then), does Toshiba sell the screen replacement and screw driver for Z830/Z835?
    I also tried http://screensurgeons.com/ and http://youtube.com/ScreenSurgeons/ but they don't seem to have made a video showing how to replace the Z830/Z835 screen yet.
    If you look at the comments on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMH0r76zdt0 about the Z830/Z835 teardown (only to replace RAM or SSD), there are several comments from users who also cracked their Z830/Z835 screen but I can't seem to find on YouTube a video showing how to replace the screen yet.
    Thanks for your help. I'd like to buy that screen replacement soon, I need this laptop screen fixed before I go on a travel on October 11th.

  • How to replace CMOS battery on Satellite A30-504?

    i have big problems with my satellite A30-504...it does'nt see the HDD on boot, my only solution so far was to press the power button for many times.
    My HDD is ok so i think the problem is with the cmos battery but i dont know how to find out what type it is and how to replace it.
    (ps. sorry my english, i'm not an english speaker)

    Hi Adrian
    CMOS battery is always placed an awkward position and to exchange the battery the unit must be disassembled. If you didnt done this before please dont do this alone. A small mistake and you can damage plastic cover of the unit.
    I recommend you to contact service and let them do this for you. It costs a little bit but you will be sure it will be done on professional way. When the unit is disassembled it can also be cleaned from the dust.
    Back to HDD: how you know HDD is not defective?

  • How to replace DVD-RW on Satellite P10?

    Hello,
    I have to replace the DVD-RW (Mat****a UJ 811 ) on my Satellite P10-554. What new models are recommanded or work without problems?
    Thank you!

    With optical disc drive exchange the biggest problem is compatibility. Exact info about that you can get from authorized service partners in your country or some independent notebook upgrade store or service.
    Unfortunately notebook manufacturer doesnt support hardware directly and whole upgrade program must be done with service or even local dealer. Because of that it is not easy to get precise information about compatibility.
    I have had P20 two years ago and I have successfully upgraded with DVD-RAM (TEAC DV-W22E -285).

  • Satellite P200: How do i calibrate monitor to get same colors using Photoshop CS3

    How do i calibrate monitor to get print that looks like pic on screen?
    I am using Photoshop CS3.
    When I get a pic the way I want it on the screen and try to print it, it prints much darker. I could calibrate my iMac monitor for photoshop but can't find a way of doing it with my Satellite P200.
    My printer is a Canon ip4300 and I'm using Canon ink and paper.

    I think you need additional software and hardware to calibrate yout monitor.

  • How much to replace broken macbook pro screen??

    how much to replace broken macbook pro screen??

    Few thoughts:
    There is a minuscule possibility that you can successfully convince the Genius that the damage was not due to abuse or mishandling. And if it is still under warranty, a new free screen will be yours. Don't get your hopes up too high, though...
    If a Retina, the cost will be so high that maybe selling it for parts and getting a new one might be a better idea.
    Same may apply if it is very old. Not cause the screen costs arm+leg, but because you will be sinking lots of cash onto a sinking ship.
    If handy with tools, can explore PowerBookMedic.com or IFixIt.com for parts prices and howto.

  • Left command key has broken off - how to replace?

    So a few days ago I caught my left command key with my nail and the top half of it lifted away from the mechanism underneath. I pressed it until I heard it click back into place and then merrily continued using my computer as usual. Today I was typing and the whole thing just came off under my thumb, which is annoying to say the least.
    The biggest issue is that as I was trying to reconnect key to mechanism, the little criss-cross doohickey came off as well! I am left with a little silicon nipple which, while titilating, is not really conducive to the kind of high volume typing I'm used to!
    I really don't want to pay 40 bucks to get Apple Support to replace a single key for me - I just need to know how to do it myself. It's only one key and I could probably learn to get used to using the right one, but it would be easier if I could just click it back into place. It's not broken, the mechanism itself seems fine and the key works if I push the little nubbin, so I'm not concerned about that. I just think $40 is too much to pay someone to click a key back into place! I wasn't even doing anything out of the ordinary with it like trying to remove or replace the keys T^T
    I'm especially gutted since I just bought a new iPhone from the same Apple shop I bought my laptop like three days ago - if I'd known my laptop was gonna bust I'd have saved myself the money and spent it on repairs instead! Fml, right?
    Any help you folks can offer would be very gratefully received - if it comes down to it and I have to fork out the money then I'll do so, but I'd like to explore community options first on the off chance that someone knows how to replace the mechanism and key without having to lug my computer all the way into the city to get it fixed xD
    Thanks in advance!
    Ehryn

    It's pretty easy to do, get something thin like a credit card and run it along the bottom and sides of the keyboard and there are several bracket things that will pop the keyboard up when you pressure them. There will be a couple of cables to clip out behind it so lift it up gently.
    You should be able to find a video on youtube anyway!
    Try this site for the keyboard http://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/toshiba_qosmio_laptop_key.html
    It shouldn't be too hard to track a replacement down.

  • How to replace CD/DVD-Rom on Satellite Pro 2100

    Hello,
    My dvd-rom drive in the laptop is old and broken, now I have here a another dvd-rom drive but I don't know how to remove the old dvd-rom without removing all parts of my laptop. Is there some service manual how to replace the dvd-rom drive?

    Hi
    Im not 100% sure about the CD/DVD drive replacement on this notebook but I assume the procedure is very similar to another notebooks drives.
    Mostly the ODD is secured with the one screw at the bottom of the unit.
    You will have to remove this screw to pull out and to swap the drive.
    But be careful and dont do it if you have no experience!!!
    By the way, not all drives are compatible and supported because of the master/slave/c-sel settings. If you dont know what drives are compatible you should ask the ASP in your country for a advice!!!

  • How to replace CMOS on Satellite 3000-514?

    My laptop won't boot anymore (though the power lights come on) and I suspect the CMOS needs replacing.
    How do I open and replace it in my Satellite 3000-514?
    I tried dismantling the back, but got stuck.
    Any help?
    Thanks.

    To be honest I don't think CMOS battery is responsible for this.
    I had old Tecra notebook and I didn't use it last 3 years. When I wanted to start it there were no problem, just message that CMOS battery is empty were shown. When you connect notebook to the AC power supply after 48 hours the CMOS battery should be loaded again.
    In your case it is probably some hardware related issue but it is not easy to say what can be wrong there. Maybe is BIOS corrupted, maybe is CPU defective. Who knows?
