STEP 9

Lift up and remove the display panel assembly.

The LCD screen removal steps will be very similar to many other Toshiba laptops. Read through a few different guides and you'll get the idea.

If you need a new LCD screen for Qosmio F45, you can fine a new LCD screen here for about $80.

STEP 10

Some key components are located right under the keyboard and button board cover.
From here you can access and remove the button board, ROBSON module (turbo memory), wireless card and modem module.

STEP 11

In the following 8 steps I explain how to open the laptop case and remove the top cover.

Remove hard drive 1, hard drive 2 and memory (RAM) covers from the bottom of the laptop.

STEP 12

Remove both hard drives.
Remove both memory (RAM) modules.

STEP 13

Remove two screws securing the CD/DVD drive and push the drive from the laptop.

If you are replacing just the CD/DVD drive, you don't have to go through all previous steps.

STEP 14

Remove all screws from the laptop bottom.

STEP 15

Disconnect all cables and remove one screw securing the top cover.

STEP 16

The top cover has gray tape glued to the card reader.
Unglue the tape before removing the top cover.

STEP 17

Now you should be able to separate the top cover from the laptop base.
