These are the professional, official documents published by the various laptop makers, either for their own technicians or for the use of the general public. There are blogs and forums that post small numbers of these manuals every now and then; what I hope to achieve here is the most complete repository of laptop disassembly and service manuals available on the internet. I do not charge for downloads. This is not a community-run project where some files turn out to be incomplete, or the plain old user manual you already have, or completely the wrong thing. I do not hide files behind pages designed to confuse and delay you under the guise of providing a difficult service.Basically, click on the model number of your laptop below, and you’ll have all the information you need on how to take it apart. These files, and the information contained therein, is entirely owned by the original publishers, be they Dell, Sony, Acer or anyone else.You might also consider that there are online businesses that make a profit reselling your copyrighted material who pose a far worse threat than I. That falls back again on the original publishers, who themselves generally use the same disclaimer. What you do with your own property is your own business, and I cannot be held responsible for anything that goes wrong in the course of using one of these service manuals. Actually performing those repairs is something many people, including myself, frequently charge hundreds of dollars for. If by coincidence you’re after one of these, email me and I’ll see about getting it to you ASAP. If you have problems downloading a particular manual, I recommend using a download manager of some kind. If that doesn’t help, let me know and I’ll try emailing you the file directly. Email me, and we’ll work something out. I might find several manuals for similar models at the same time, all of which I’d put up here as well, which could save ten other people the same trouble.
Know of another site with the same idea as here. Email me and you could have the gratitude of fifty happy people! I don’t sell repair manuals, or require you to click on ads or sign up for anything to get them. Donations are not required, but are appreciated, so if I’ve helped you out, consider throwing a few bucks my way! I’ve finally categorised pretty much everything now, so here it all is! That’s enough for most people though, so I’m listing them here: Instead I had someone tell me quite bluntly that “those manuals are our intellectual property and we will not distribute them in any way, shape or form”; after mentioning I’d had someone help me out before, they asked if I remembered who that was, because “that’s a punishable offense in this company”. Sorry, ASUS, but that’s just terrible service compared to many other brands. Not only could I not find an easy source for the part, when I rang BenQ to enquire about getting a service manual I was told “BenQ’s service manuals are confidential documents and cannot be distributed outside our service centres.” I can completely believe they do their best in that, as I’ve only ever found these four manuals. This would be a brand to avoid, IMHO. Medion laptops are probably all made by FIC. It’s hard to dig through the layers of notebook badge engineering, but I’ve seen more Clevos here in Australia than any other brand, so rebadged laptops will end up in this section. Look up your service tag or model number there and you should be able to find it.
Consider this single contribution so far to be the promise to hunt down more alien material: Only one IdeaPad service manual has surfaced on the net, covering three models: Until I have some time free to update what’s available here on my site, here’s what I’d found previously: Here’s what I’ve found: Best way to sort through it is to go through it letter by letter with your Toughbook’s model number, pick the one that’s closest and see if the titlepage lists the variables that would match yours. Proceed as you like, but it may be a hairier repair than you might think. Still, I’ve got what I’ve got, and what I’ve got is right here: He contacted Sony, and their most helpful suggestion was that they could repair it for him at great cost. Any manuals available on the internet are illegal, and Sony takes this policy very seriously.” Avoid. I’m currently attempting to negotiate with Toshiba to allow me to continue sharing these manuals and I’m hoping for a positive response. All we can do right now is wait and hope that Toshiba will follow in the footsteps of IBM, Dell and HP and allow their customers access to the repair manuals for their own laptops. Please read this for details. Unfortunately, this means all Toshiba manuals are permanently gone from my website. If you are in need of a Toshiba repair manual, I urge you to contact your local Toshiba representative and ask them why they have decided to work against its customers in need of support.

Most laptops share a similar clamshell form factor with the top lid of the laptop housing a display and the bottom section containing a keyboard and trackpad. The two sections are connected by a hinge and when you travel, you can fold the two halves together to protect the screen and keyboard. Generic laptops usually have a screen size of about 11 inches (28 cm) to 17 inches (43 cm). Smaller, lighter laptops are available, however, and are often referred to as ''subnotebooks'' or ultraportables. While the hinges on most traditional laptops can only bend so far, some laptops—called convertibles, hybrids, or 2-in-1s —can fold all the way around. These laptops usually have a touchscreen so you can use your fingers to control the device when the keyboard is flipped onto the back. Here’s an informative hybrid laptop comparison video from The Verge. Detachable laptops take this concept further by allowing a user to remove the keyboard entirely. Some notable early examples include the Surface Pro and Surface Book which you can see in this demo from Fstoppers. Compared to these larger machines, laptops generally use less power but provide less overall performance because they cannot deal with heat as well.
While some laptops are upgradeable and repairable, desktop computers provide a simpler experience because parts are widely available and interchangeable. The name of the specific model is usually printed on the bottom of the laptop directly on the case or on an attached sticker. Search online for a “support” or “check warranty” page for your specific manufacturer and enter the serial number for more information on your device. Sometimes it’s just a simple issue. Follow the steps below for some troubleshooting ideas. This page from Laptop Repair 101 has more tips. Does the laptop work like normal if it is plugged into the wall with a reliable charger. If so, your laptop likely has a bad battery. You can find battery replacement guides here on iFixit or elsewhere if nobody has made one yet (perhaps you can make your own guide ). Make sure the power adapter you’re using works with your computer and puts out enough watts to power your specific model. You don’t want to be the person who goes into a store for a repair just to learn that you were using the wrong charger (I’m speaking from personal experience here). Tip: give the laptop a bit of time after it is plugged in before you try turning it on. Does the laptop have any signs of life. These include spinning fans, blinking lights, or beeps. These beeps or flashing lights often correspond to a specific issue which you can fix. For example, two beeps when a Dell laptop starts up generally indicates an issue with the RAM. Check for issues with the screen. It’s pretty easy to think your laptop isn’t working even if the issue is completely due to the screen. If the screen doesn’t turn on, try shining a flashlight into the screen and look for any images. If you can see dim images, the backlight in your screen is dead and you will need to replace the display. This video from Adrian Black shows this same troubleshooting step for a TV screen. Also make sure you haven’t just turned the brightness all the way down. Woops!
Can you get into the BIOS. The BIOS is the basic firmware that runs when you first start your computer. You can sometimes enter the BIOS setup when the laptop starts by holding F2, F10, or the delete key on your keyboard when you press the power button. See this article from Tom’s Hardware for a more comprehensive list of the keys used to enter the BIOS for each brand of laptop. If you can access the BIOS but can’t get any further with a regular boot (a.k.a. an attempt to turn on the computer where you don’t hold the BIOS key) your laptop probably works fine, but you have an issue with the operating system. Check these extra troubleshooting guides for what to do when Windows doesn’t start (or Linux if you have that installed). If the laptop has a separate power input board that is attached to the motherboard with a cable, you could try replacing that part first. Sometimes the motherboard works fine but isn’t receiving any power because of a bad power port. Usually they are stuck fully white, black, red, green, or blue. You can sometimes ignore these screen pimples (I’ve got three on my display right now), but a large group can be super distracting. Use this dead-pixel checker webpage to find a stuck pixel. If none of these fixes work, you can replace your display with some guides here on iFixit. If your computer is hot, it’s not necessarily bad; the important statistic is the CPU temperature. If this reaches about 100 degrees Celsius, the computer will automatically shut off to protect itself. You can monitor the CPU temperature in Windows with a tool like RealTemp or on linux with the terminal command “ sensors.” The best fix is to open up the computer and blow some compressed air into the fan to kick up the dust that builds up over years of use. You could also use a lint-free cloth or static-safe brush if you don’t want to hurt the environment.
This iFixit news article explains some alternatives to compressed air (the “air” from a can of compressed air is really gaseous refrigerant chemicals which are pretty bad for the environment). See the replacement guides here on iFixit or elsewhere on the web for instructions on removing the battery in your laptop. These apps will eat through your battery like a teenager after a fast. You can check the current maximum capacity of your battery vs.If you already know the ins-and-outs of computer tech, you can skip this section, but for the rest of the people out there this information might be helpful for the troubleshooting and repair tips shown in the section above. Much of this information is explained further on HowStuffWorks. The screen consists of an array of pixels which can each change their color individually. The resolution of the screen is measured as the number of pixels across the width and height of the display (e.g. 1920x1080 pixels). With some exceptions, the pixels in a display do not emit any light; instead, they change the color of light emitted by a backlight that sits behind the pixels. If either of these parts fails, they need to be exchanged in full. It executes all the code that comprises the programs you use everyday. The CPU generates heat which needs to be dissipated somehow—otherwise the computer overheats and shuts down. If you remove the heatsink, you MUST apply new thermal paste to the CPU to allow for adequate heat transfer. The motherboard is the thin board that takes up most of the space in the computer and is generally the largest component. It is made from fiberglass with tiny copper lines embedded in it that criss-cross the surface. These lines, usually called “traces,” allow the CPU to communicate directly with other pieces of the computer like the RAM and storage (see below).
While some thick, older laptops have a socket for the CPU which allows it to be replaced, the two parts are often soldered together and cannot be replaced individually. RAM components are either soldered directly to the motherboard (this makes repairers sad) or inserted into a slot on the motherboard (this makes repairers happy). In the second scenario, you can replace RAM that has gone bad or add more RAM to your computer; RAM soldered to the motherboard cannot be easily repaired except by a professional. This question on Quora explains why adding extra RAM isn’t always correlated to increased computer speed. Since hard drives literally consist of platters spinning at high-speed inside your laptop, they can eventually die or break with a sharp impact (shoutout to my resilient hard drive which survived being dropped down a flight of stairs). SSDs don’t share the same issues and are faster than hard drives, so performing a swap can make a big difference for your machine. Some SSDs, however, are soldered directly to the motherboard (not again!?) which makes it more difficult to repair without an expert technician. The battery provides power to the laptop when it is not plugged into the wall. The battery supplies this extra energy as the product of a chemical reaction that happens inside. Over time, this reaction produces unintended by-products and the battery wears out. Thus, the battery is fundamentally a consumable part and will need to be replaced after a certain amount of time. Some manufacturers glue down their batteries which (do you see a trend?) makes them harder to replace. If you’re feeling up for it, you can use some adhesive remover to remove this sticky manufacturing trick. You might not need every tool for every procedure. The company is now responsible for producing a variety of laptop lines ranging from the budget-friendly to the high-end gaming.
Perhaps the most iconic of these lines is the Pavilion, which released in 1995 and has functioned as the staple consumer varietal ever since. Only perform steps 1-3 of the RAM chip replacement guide. You might not need every tool for every procedure. In addition to these methods, you can use the service tag in the bottom of the laptop in order to identify the original specifications for a given system. On newer Dell business class laptops, this is on the bottom of the keyboard trim. The specific model and service number for each Dell is printed on the underside of the computer. You might not need every tool for every procedure. At the most basic level, Lenovo’s laptops can be categorized in five major lines: the ThinkPad and ThinkBook for business use, the IdeaPad and Yoga for consumer grade computing, and the Legion line for gaming. There are then subdivisions and combinations within these lines, some examples being the ThinkPad X1 Carbon or the ThinkPad X1 Yoga. The X series provides an emphasis on portability, with lightweight laptops that don’t sacrifice specifications. Within the X series is the X1 Carbon, the X1 Extreme, and X1 Yoga. The T series is Lenovo’s flagship within the ThinkPad brand. The P series laptops are equipped with more graphics processing power for computing intensive work. Lastly, the A series provides a similar business capable laptop at a budget price. They come in 5 major classes: the 700 series, 500 series, 300 series, 100 series, and S series, with performance and price point decreasing down the list. The IdeaPad line also formerly included some Yoga models, but Yoga became its own brand to encompass 2-in-1 laptops with a more stylish and functionality focused design. Please note that there are Prerequisite Guides to follow before starting this guide. You might not need every tool for every procedure. Founded in 1989, ASUS began as a computer hardware company, creating computer motherboards for noteworthy companies such as IBM.
The ROG (Republic of Gamers) series was created in 2006 for PC gaming. ASUS also has an alternative budget-friendly PC gaming laptop series called TUF (The Ultimate Force). In 2011, ASUS launched the Zenbook series, a line of ultrabooks specifically designed with a slim form factor to compete with similar laptops on the market, such as Acer Aspire, Dell Inspiron, HP Pavilion, and Toshiba Satellite. Also in 2011, ASUS launched the Transformer series, which includes 2-in-1 convertible laptops. You might not need every tool for every procedure. White goods were typically painted or enameled white, and many of them still are. In microwave ovens the rust can cause electrical arcs and even fires. In fridges it can cause food contamination. In both cases it is unsightly. Enamel paint is tough and it will prevent electrical arcing in microwave ovens and extend the life of your appliance. Get everything you need to repair your phone yourself. How do I fix it? You might not need every tool for every procedure. Today's cell phones have more computing power than past computers that took up an entire room of space. Modern mobile devices allow users to hold the world -- or at least all of its information, maps, and games -- in their hands. Many different manufacturers make many different products. Usually the manufacturer's name will appear somewhere on the front of the device, and the exact model number will appear on the back or underneath the battery. There is no failsafe mechanism to identify every device, though, so some research might be necessary on your part. You might not need every tool for every procedure. Variations of MacBooks, MacBook Pros, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs, Mac Pros, or Mac Minis have the tendency to look the same, but may have different internal hardware. If you're unsure of exactly which model and revision you own, take advantage of the Mac identification page.
With the adaptation from arcade style games (Donkey Kong), to more personal, in home games (Atari), to the video games that we can carry with us everywhere we go ( Nintendo Game Boy ), video games are becoming more and more accessible to all individuals of all ages. The exterior casing of each console is pretty unique in terms of look, so distinguishing between them is not hard. You will find written articles and podcasts starting from “making the jump” from your full time job, all the way up to looking after other businesses with managed services. However, the problem with repairing laptops is getting them apart. There are often screws hidden under stickers, special clips that need to be squeezed in a certain way and usually the laptop needs to be disassembled in a certain order. Because of this, I have created this small list of sites where you can obtain Laptop teardown guides. Official Sources These are some of the manufacturers that actually share their tear down guides. The majority do not. Large list of laptop repair manuals I would have been lost without it at first, and it’s still the first place I go to find a teardown guide. Highly recommended. I have that site bookmarked on my browser. I ended giving a donation to the hard-working efforts of the person (I can’t pronouce his name-:) who keeps that site updated. Best part about it’s it’s FREE. Excellent site! I have used a few of those sites a lot. It is very helpful if you have the service tag of certain laptops. Otherwise, I find insidemylaptop to be very helpful. Usually I just googled the specific model and eventually found someone that had the same problem and solution. I have not had a problem figuring how to take laptops apart but you never know. Step by steps guides with pictures. A great resource. What’s with Apple. after watching a tech attach a Mac with a putty knife, it’s just a PC inside. Great resource list, thanks.
Especially when you have to tell a customer that several hours of work to disassemble and re-assemble a laptop just to solder a power jack may not actually fix the problem because the motherboard is already fried. Do you charge a flat rate or by the hour. Do you give a discount on a failed attempt to fix it. Any recommendations? Especially when you have to tell a customer that several hours of work to disassemble and re-assemble a laptop just to solder a power jack may not actually fix the problem because the motherboard is already fried. Any recommendations?” Once you start taking these things apart on a regular basis, it does not take several hours. Sometimes you do all the work and the computer still does not work, which is why I charge a diagnostic fee. This assures you get something for your efforts. I don’t know how you find the time to do it but your articles are always fantastic, timely and well written. I was looking for some specs on a laptop for a while yesterday and was having a hard time, then you post this article and I find the info in a minute. Thank You. Trying to step up my laptop knowledge and these sources will help immensely. It really is surprising how often it works! You never know where some of these manufacturers are going to decide to put the last screw to keep it all together and screw with the technician’s head. Great link library as always! That was a pain. We have bigger copier machines over here, too, so I’m sure I will run across worse eventually. Anyone has any suggestions? Thanks for the links. Although I don’t have that much experience repairing laptops maybe like one model that I have worked with which was a Dell D600 I did a mother board replacement for a faimly member after if was found out that it wouldn’t power on and that seemed to solve the problem. Many times on Ebay the sellers will sell multiple manuals on one DVD with Multiple manufacturing laptop companies including utilities.They provide best customer care also.
I think you have to charge some kind of fee, the owner of the shop always did free estimates. Well then you have to put the laptop all back together again before giving it back to the customer of course. How much wasted time is that?

Parts-People began as a small company 17 years ago in an extra bedroom of my house. I had saved a small sum of money to purchase some computer parts and began selling them on eBay. After a few months I realized that people needed a place to go for Dell parts so I began building our website. Since we are located in Austin, Texas, where Dell.com was founded, I was able to set up a solid supply line with Dell. From the start, we focused on customer satisfaction and selling quality parts. We have grown a lot since 2002 but still and always the customer will come first. You will find that we go above and beyond with every order and offer free resources and support before and after the sale. This will take you step by step through the complete removal process.

When you claim a laptop, and have utilized it for quite a while, it is constantly conceivable that something may turn out badly with the gadget. Similarly as with any mechanical gadget, the possibility of a disappointment happening increments with the measure of time you utilize the gadget. On account of a laptop the blame may not in every case even be mechanical. The product introduced on your laptop could end up adulterated, or your system could end up contaminated with an infection of virus. That’s when you need reliable people to turn to who specialize in laptop repair. Some of the reasons your laptop could be malfunctioning include actual damage to the LCD screen. LCD screens are delicate objects which can become damage if the laptop is dropped. In case on an accident the LCD can crack or even break into pieces. However this isn’t hard to repair. All that is required is a simple replacement of the LCD, and your system will function as well as ever. If your laptop is dropped, the case of the laptop itself can also become damage. This usually also involves a simple and easy replacement of the case itself. If the keys on your keyboard happen to be sticky they can usually easily be cleaned by a technician. Alternatively, you could probably even do it yourself. Be careful, though, that you don’t void the warranty by mistake. These are all minor issues. This is admittedly a serious issue. If this happens you need to shut of the power at once, and take the laptop to your dealer or laptop repair specialist. It’s actually quite possible to repair a laptop even after an accident of this sort.
