How to remove the top cover from a Toshiba Satellite M305 or M305D laptop.
Also this guide should work for Toshiba Satellite M300 and Satellite M300D laptops.
In the following guide I will be removing the top cover from a Toshiba Satellite M305 laptop, so I can access and replace the video cable.
In order to remove the top cover, it's not necessary to remove the hard drive, memory, DVD drive as I show in steps 1-5. I'm doing it just to explain how you can access these parts if you need to replace them.
The actual top cover removal process starts at the step 6.
