How To Disassemble Toshiba Satellite Laptops

Toshiba Satellite L305D or L305 stopped showing video on the LCD screen. Video on the external monitor works just fine but nothing appears on the internal screen, it’s completely blank. What could be wrong?
The LCD screen doesn’t work because the video cable got disconnected from the motherboard.
I have seen a problem like that on a few different Satellite L305D laptops. Not sure why it’s happening but check this out.
In order to access the video cable connector you’ll have to remove the keyboard first.
Using a sharp object lift up and remove the keyboard bezel.

Under the bezel you’ll find two screws securing the motherboard. Remove both screws.
Lift up the keyboard and place it upside down on the palm rest. Be careful, the keyboard is attached to the motherboard.

You’ll find the video cable connector under the keyboard.

If you look very closely, you’ll see that the video cable is half way out of the connector on the motherboard.

Plug the video cable back into the connector and test the laptop now. Does it help?
