A Guide For Upgrading Toshiba Notebook Parts

Everything mechanical, or electronic, breaks down and nearly every computer made is expandable. This is also true of your Toshiba notebook but to be honest, as far as notebook technology has progressed, it is still not a great idea for you to go poking around in your notebook unless you really know what you are doing. But there are some upgrades you can do yourself and there are some repairs that can easily done for you by a technician using either generic replacement parts or Toshiba notebook parts. Then there are the things that look like they cannot be fixed but can be fixed using only Toshiba notebook parts.Then there is the fatal stuff.

Lets examine some circumstances to determine if your laptop is completely gone or if you can use Toshiba notebook parts to fix it.

Common Laptop Upgrades

Generally speaking any notebook computer can be upgraded. Look at your owners manual or go online to determine what parts can be replaced. Normally you can upgrade your hard drive and memory but unless you know how to do this you should take it to a professional.

When it comes to memory you are probably better off using genuine Toshiba notebook parts on that but hard drives are made by other manufacturers and you need to check your manual for compatibility.

Notebook screens are not upgradeable. You would need a whole new notebook for that which, for some reason, is really difficult to get some people to understand. Trust me, you cannot upgrade your screen to a 17" screen in your existing notebook.

Dead Laptop

Notebooks have come a long way from the days when just the slightest movement could damage the hard drive but they are still very fragile. Dropping a notebook that is not in a protective case will probably cause serious damage to the circuits. Even a protective case is not a guarantee of the notebook surviving and there isn't any amount of Toshiba notebook parts in the world that will save a drowned notebook that wasn't meant to swim.

Stuff That Can Be Fixed

People are always surprised to hear this but you can fix a defective notebook screen by using Toshiba notebook parts. I am not sure why this always surprises people but a dead screen can be fixed. A bad power supply can also be fixed using Toshiba notebook parts as well as a bad battery.

Any of the peripheral drives like CD-Rom or DVD drive can also be replaced using Toshiba notebook parts. If you see smoke pouring out of the back of your notebook then don't freak out. Get it to a repair shop because replacing some of the Toshiba notebook parts might save your notebook even after a puff of smoke.
