How to remove LCD screen and inverter board from a Toshiba Satellite A305/A305D and Satellite A300/A300D laptops.
If you want to remove or replace the LCD screen and inverter board in a Satellite A305/A305D series laptop, you'll have to remove the top cover first. This guide will have two parts. In the first part (Steps 1-8) I'll be removing the top cover. In the second part (steps 9-23) I'll take apart the display panel.
It's possible to disassemble the display panel without removing the top cover, but you can damage the screen bezel while removing it from the display assembly.
This guide also works for Toshiba Satellite A300 and Satellite A300D laptops.
By the way, I have another guide which explains how to remove the motherboard and other internal parts from a Satellite A305 laptop.

STEP 1
Before you start, turn off the laptop, unplug the AC power adapter and remove the battery.
Remove the hard drive, memory and blank covers. |
| |
|
 |
STEP 2
Remove all screws I marked with red circles.
I marked one screw with a yellow circle. This screw secures the CD/DVD drive. Do not remove that screw unless you want to remove the CD/DVD drive.

STEP 3
Turn the laptop over.
Start removing the keyboard bezel with a sharp object. You can use a small screwdriver.
When one side of the bezel is lifted, you can continue removing the bezel with your fingers. |

STEP 4
Under the bezel you'll find two screws securing the keyboard.
Remove both screws. |

STEP 5
Carefully lift up the keyboard so you can access the cable.
Disconnect the keyboard cable from the motherboard.
First - unlock the connector.
Second - pull the cable and remove the keyboard.
